Players seeking the best online slots will want to look closely at Sugar Skulls, the Day of the Dead game from Booming Games.
This title turns what can sometimes seem like a morbid holiday into the kind of party no one will want to miss! Bright colors, festive design, and abundant features set this release clearly on the side of the living.
A bursting piñata can distribute Random Fiesta Awards on any spin, while free spins feature only higher-value symbols and wilds.
Theme
There’s no actual sugar or candy available in this slot, but with design and gameplay this sweet, this is hardly a problem.
Bright, colorful design pays homage the Mexican Dia de los Muertos, which is an occasion for great celebration and familial unity in Mexico and the world over. Candles honoring and inviting the spirits of the dead stand behind the reels, while ornate skeletons and skulls are to be seen everywhere.
Vivacious, mariachi-inspired guitar music provides a delightful soundtrack.
Gaming symbols include four florid, immaculately decorated skulls (one of whom sports a ray gun), as well as the playing card values ace through jack, which provide lower-value symbols.
A purple wild symbol substitutes for other symbols to form winning combinations.
This title’s most important symbol, though…
… is the winding gear Free Spin symbol. It acts as scatter, triggering the free spin feature when three or more appear on the reels.

- Random Fiesta Awards occur randomly, and are available on any spin in base play
- 10x, 525x, or 100x the bet size will be awarded instantly
- Mystery Jackpot is not available during free spins
Our Take
Booming Games has been living up to its moniker in recent years, generating quite a bit of momentum along with a handsome catalogue of games.
Sugar Skulls is just the latest release to measure up to this designer’s high standards. Although it’s always troubling when RTP information isn’t made available, what is known about this slot is uniformly positive.
Design is strong, the bonus features are very appealing, and one has to ask: with a Day of the Dead this sweet, who needs the living?

I am actually a sucker for Sugar Skulls for some reason lol I love this game. I seem to get really good returns every time I have played this one. I mean I know they're all hit and miss but this is one of my lucky ones. The graphics are really good as well!

The random fiesta awards have mostly paid out the minimum but the free spins with the higher paying symbols have delivered some booming wins.

Sugar Skulls is just the same game with Great Ocean, Astra Pandas, Rudolph's Ride, etc. This games has just different theme and symbol. The Cash bonus is random and pays not bad to keep the balance. You have to anticipate for the big cash bonus, not any big wins from free spins, because free spin feature doesn't have any...

You have to anticipate for the big cash bonus, not any big wins from free spins, because free spin feature doesn't have any good feature to give big wins, nor does come often. Good luck.

Average to OK game in my opinion, the overall look and everything is nice but the problem is it only seems to dish out 2 - 10x wins even in the longer run, which is not satisfactory to me and gets boring. The music is nice and the graphics good and I like the idea and the symbols and everything but the wins should be better.

There is another feature that randomly when you are spinning, pinatas start flying and give u few euros, not so much, but nice to pay next 10 spins, and, rarely, but had happened, that i got 4 pinata features in around 10-15 spins haha. Try it :D

Love this new game from Booming! It sometimes takes a little bit of time to hit the free spins, but whenever I have I've hit for a lot of coin! Its well worth the wait. Booming offers some of my favorite games online. I love getting free spins and with the wilds you can earn a bit on just regular play. I wish this...
Love this new game from Booming! It sometimes takes a little bit of time to hit the free spins, but whenever I have I've hit for a lot of coin! Its well worth the wait. Booming offers some of my favorite games online. I love getting free spins and with the wilds you can earn a bit on just regular play. I wish this game had wilds with multipliers though. I think that would make the payouts much more fair during regular play. I've hit the random multiplier a few times right after raising my bet up, which were nice wins too. I do like the graphics in this game too. Its entertaining and will keep me trying booming games.

Sugar Skulls is a nice game but it could do better I think. This game has 20 paylines and free spins feature that could be triggered when scatters appear on reel 1, 3 and 5. This game has also a random prize giveaway from 10 to 100 times bet that can be won quite often. In the free spins feature the lower symbols are removed...

In the free spins feature the lower symbols are removed which increases the odd of winning big but unfortunately there's no multiplier.

This game is very up and down. I have played and have won over 20 mBTC on my first spin after hitting the free spins (gives you 10 free spins with all the reels filled with skulls). I have also played and gone through 20 mBTC barely winning anything at all. I do like the pinata feature though which will randomly appear...

I have also played and gone through 20 mBTC barely winning anything at all. I do like the pinata feature though which will randomly appear and you will be rewarded with 10x your bet amount. This makes the game a little more exciting than some of the other games of it's kind. I also do like the graphics a lot because they are easy to identify wins. I wish that you could change the amount of lines that you must be on because 0.20 is pretty high especially when playing in BTC.
