The Mexican tradition of smashing up a toy donkey to release the goodies inside is the theme of this online slot from Lightning Box Games; it’s called Pinata Bucks and it comes with free spins, afour profgressive jackpots and the ‘Reelfecta’ super reel.

Pinata Bucks is a five reel slot with 1296 paylines but pay attention for a moment to reel three which is made up of a 4×4 area – anyone of these positions can connect to reels one and two to form a winning combination and it also has its own part in one of the features.

The high value symbols include a guitar player, a dancing girl, a lizard, a cactus and a bottle of tequila; 9, J, Q, K and A represent the lower values.

The setting sun is wild, it only appears on reel three (the Reelfecta) and it will replace all standard symbols to help form winning matches; the pinata is the scatter symbol.

Bonus Features

Pinata Lock Spins

This is triggered by landing at least six of the pinata scatter symbols anywhere in view and you’ll receive five free spins on a 4×4 set of reels; any pinatas landing will lock in place and if they land adjacent to each other they can form larger 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 symbols worth different prizes, including the progressive jackpot, when the round ends:

• 1×1 – up to 5x total bet.
• 2×2 – up to 25x total bet, Mini or Minor jackpots.
• 3×3 – up to 50x total bet, Mini, Minor or Grand jackpots.
• 4×4 – up to 500x total bet, Major or Grand jackpots.

It’s not possible to trigger any more spins from within this round.

Verdict

The Reelfecta payline structure is an odd one but it works well once you understand what’s going on; chuck in the promise of a progressive jackpot and a colourful Mexican theme and Pinata Bucks is a winner.
