Dia Del Mariachi Megaways

Although it is going to be spring or early summer at the time of release, the theme is inspired by the Day of the Dead celebrated at the end of the year, especially in Mexico, with skeletons and instruments to match the theme.

Design & Concept

If the theme does not fall into any new category, then unfortunately the same words apply to almost everything else, since these game manufacturers have used similar ideas in some of the megaways games of the previous year, among others. However, as this is not an obvious clone, we’ll go through the basics in the following paragraphs, as well as the special, bonus and free spins features.

Details of the Dia del Mariachi Megaways game

Dia del Mariachi Megaways is a 6 reel, two to seven row video slot with a line count per spin of 324-117,649. Winning combinations require two or three to six matching symbols and/or wilds, depending on the value of the winning pattern. Winning combinations are also broken, with new patterns falling into the empty spaces. The maximum win on Dia del Mariachi Megaways is 12 000 x the bet. The payout percentage is 96.42%, better than usual for today’s line-up.

You can enjoy different modifiers throughout the bonus round.

Betting & Paytable

For the paytable, we list card patterns 9-A as well as maracas, trumpets, violins and ukuleles. The line value of the main winning patterns is 50 x the stake for each of the six reels. Of the special patterns, the letters W are the top wilds and the gold sombreros are the scatter symbols.

Special Symbols

Actually, the special patterns are not limited to the aforementioned ones, as the reels also have patterns that match the list characters. The special pattern feature is triggered whenever one is on the top row with an “illuminated” sombrero.

• Pinata aces. x2, x3, x5 or x10 coin wins.
• Red Bombs: Converts your reel to wild.
• Blue rockets: Converts itself and up to three other spots to wilds, excluding other wilds or scatter symbols.
• Bonus Spins: A spin in the jackpot game.

Jackpot prizes

So, in all simplicity, the jackpot game is a whirl with blocks again containing the prizes listed in the list items.

• Mini-jackpot: x15.
• Minor jackpot: x50.
• Major jackpot: x500.
• Mega-jackpot: x10,000.

Free Spins

The free spins feature is triggered by four scatter symbols, which pay ten (10) free spins and two additional spins for scatter symbols exceeding that number. The free spins feature can also be retriggered and sombreros are on every reel in the top row, so special patterns are never missed.

Bonus Purchase

The bonus buyout price – insofar as it’s only available – is x80.

Overall

We’ve already said that All41 Studios and Microgaming haven’t come up with anything new, but there’s something here.
Often the weakness of a basic game is that it’s boring, but with these special patterns it’s not terribly boring either. If you like them, you might also like the free spins feature with its similar special features.
