Creators of vastly famous themed slots from Costa Rica, Realtime Gaming have launched a sequel of a hit Mexican Wrestling game in June 2018, due to its predecessor’s huge success in leading markets and branded casinos. Lucha Libre 2 is another comedy-inspired slot whose main protagonists are luchadores or wrestlers, and there are plenty new features to enjoy this time as well. It actually took 3 years for the company to develop a concept of part two that promises more fun than its prequel. Mexican fiery atmosphere is once again dominating the reels, accompanied by nation’s pride and joy or green peppers, hot sauce and tequila shots. There are also the referees, spectators and funny-looking wrestlers, all spinning on a screen attached to a ring in the background.
Theme
Graphically, the game is pretty much vibrant, thanks to a large number of cartoonish characters and beautifully designed animations. An encouraging soundtrack definitely adds to the overall gaming experience, which carries awards up to 50,000 coins, multipliers, stacked wilds, and more. Each feature not only increases players’ chances of winning big but also involves a unique level of excitement and races one’s motor indefinitely. The game is set on a standard 5x3 layout accompanied by 30 paylines. By pushing the spin button, reels can activate up to 1,000 automatic rounds, whilst three matching symbols on an active bet line trigger regular payouts. The wrestlers symbolize the wild icons, and landing them on the middle reel can complete one’s winning combinations thanks to the substitute option.
Betting Options and Functions
There is no progressive jackpot in the game, due to a top-fixed JP extending up to 50,000 coins. The betting range appears to start at $0.30 and ends at $30, whereas the individual line bet isn’t impressive at all and varies from $0.01 to $1. Autoplay and other related settings are also on deck, including the optimized mobile version.
Features
The Wrestler Wilds can award a 2x, 3x or a maximum 10x multiplier but only in a stacked form on the reel 3. The interesting part is that the Wilds can transfer to neighboring reels and complete additional winning combos. Players can also activate the Time for Rumble feature by landing the Mucho Mayhem Scatter. During this round, Taco Malo will challenge Nacho Friend in a duel and players will have to select a special move to defeat the opponent. If the choice is right, free spins and multipliers will be awarded. There is also the Fist Scatter and it can land only on reels 1 and 2. Its main function is to occupy the central reel, allowing the Fist of Fury to bring more respins. A free game multiplier is also applied to payouts from respins.
Our Take
To be honest, it was just a matter of time when Lucha Libre 2 will officially be published and launched at partner casinos from RTG. The predecessor has left an impressive mark on the industry, thanks to its highly entertaining options and extremely rewarding prizes. The second part also deserves positive critics for a job well done, which isn’t always the case when making new series. The game looks and feels stunningly beautiful, both visually and melodiously, creating a sort of notion as if you are sitting in a wrestling arena, cheering for your favorite Luchador. Fun is guaranteed and gamers who appreciate a good laugh while chasing huge wins are definitely going to enjoy!
