At first, if you set out to simply spin the reels, the game looks like a classic slot. In fact, you’ll wonder why there aren’t even any themed symbols. You’ll quickly notice that they blend in with the playing card ranks. Just as quickly you will notice that the theme actually comes into play when you spin, and not just with symbols and static images.
This is a rather surprising slot, that manages to surprise the player in many positive ways. We suggest you take a look at the demo version or browse below for a bit more information to pique your interest.
Theme
Mariachis is quite a popular Mexican theme (after día de Muertos), and this is a slot that somehow manages to encompass the music and the players. The musicians show up to help you with a good time, which comes around every time you spin the reels. The animations, music and sound effects are at the core of the gaming experience in this slot, and rightfully so. Nothing too complicated, but skillfully done.
Betting Options and Functions
The basic paytable is quite decent and tops out at 500 times the line bet. For those who are in the know, such numbers mean that it’s the special features that really bring in wins. The reels are setup in the normal manner, with five of them having three symbols each.
Mariachi Mayhem comes with twenty fixed paylines, with betting options that start from 0.20 total stake per spin. The basic game comes with both normal and colossal symbols. The latter can take a space of either four or nine symbol positions.
Though somehow the game looks like a classic slot, it actually comes with a completely modern feel. The interface is perfect, with all info and settings easily reachable.
Features
The mariachis can trigger features as they wish, adding some randomization to the reels. You’ll learn to love the music when it starts playing in the middle of the spin.
Mariachi respins will trigger with a colossal symbol. The reels will spin anew, and another colossal symbol takes the same position. The symbol can respin more than once in a row. All wins are calculated together.
The mariachis can also turn one or more reels into wilds, filling all the symbol positions. They can also push a colossal symbol one reel leftwards, with all the empty positions taken up by wilds.
Three or more scatters will trigger the bonus games. The number of scatters seems to have an effect on how many you land, though no absolute number is given. Do note that the scatters can show up as a mega symbol as well.
Our Take
It’s the music, the musicians and the bright colors that make this slot so endearing. The basic payouts are quite nice, and the bonus games come in big enough numbers to pay out decently as well. However, high volatility means that this game is best played with a bit higher bet, which means it isn’t for everyone. But if it’s the entertainment you’re looking for, then The Games Company delivers just that with Mariachi Mayhem!
