Are you ready for fiesta?!
Inspired by the Dia de Muertos or The Day of the Dead, Real Time Gaming is taking us to the South American country of Mexico during the celebration of this holiday.
On this day, people are remembering and honoring their deceased loved ones, but it’s not a gloomy occasion. Mexicans are grieving, yet celebrating the lives of those who have passed on.
In the background…
…we can see the festive streets of a small Mexican town. Colorful confetti are flying through the air and covering the cobblestones streets. The party is just beginning!
Visually, the graphics are stunning and the animations are beautifully done. The completely dark reels make the symbols really pop – up. It would be foolish not to expect mariachi music as the soundtrack in this case. Upbeat and loud, guitars and trumpets make the whole gameplay even more immersive.
Betting Options and Symbols
The Mariachi 5 is the 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways to win game.
Those of you who are interested in playing this title will have to bet between 0.30 and 300 $ per spin.
AND…
…what about the symbols?!
Well, there are the standard low – value icons 9, 10, J, Q, K and A. The high – value icons are 5 mariachi skeletons with sombreros and instruments, ready to perform. The highest paying of them all is the one wearing red sombrero and he will get you 750 x line bet for landing 5 on a line.
Special Features
There is a nice set of special features accompanying this video slot.
First of all, there is a wild and it’s a grouped symbol appearing only on the reels 2 and 4. It can substitute for all symbols bar the scatter. When this icon appears in a winning combination during regular game, the prize will double.
AND…
…the Scatter is represented by the piñata in a shape of a donkey. Piñatas are the central component to any Mexican fiesta, but especially children birthday parties.
Traditionally, they are made of clay and then covered in paper mache but…
…the most interesting part is off course that they are filled with fruit, candy or small toys. In the case of this release, getting three or more of them anywhere in the view will trigger the bonus spins.
When the additional round is activated, punters will have to choose one of 5 mariachi characters. Each one of them brings the combination of spins and multiplier. So…
…depending on which one you choose, you can get 5, 8, 10, 12 and 15 spins with x8, x5, x4, x3 and x2 multiplier. During these bonus rounds, extra scatters and wilds are added and scatter wins are multiplied by the total bet.
Conclusion
All in all, this video slot features immersive gameplay.
The theme is not unique, and there are more than a couple of releases based on this famous South American holiday and band of cheerful musicians but…
…the crisp and colorful visuals in combination with the festive mariachi soundtrack are creating a vibrant atmosphere. And with up to 15 bonus spins that go hand in hand with a multiplier, there’s no doubt additional rounds will appeal to players.

For some reasons, this slot has been removed from rtg casinos and i do not understand why, it was a good slot. I liked the free spin feature and it can really retrigger a lot of times. Once i won around 300 dollars on a 30 cents bet because it kept retriggering like forever.

I was bummed when I realized they took it out. There are so many other slots they could have done away with.

I have developed a love hate relationship for this slot. When I was 1st introduced to this slot via a bonus offer the slot was hot and really enjoyable. This game can be highly volatile and have experienced some nice wins with small bets and also had my bankroll depleted quite quickly. It pays out tiny wins but you have to be very patient for a good win. OVERALL I think it's ok, but I would recommend that players check out other games with a better rtp in the RTG portfolio.

I love this slot but it's a money hog! The combinations of wild stacks and multipliers in the bonus rounds can bring a good hit but that's if it hits just right as with all slots I suppose.

I love this slot but it's a money hog! The combinations of wild stacks and multipliers in the bonus rounds can bring a good hit but that's if it hits just right as with all slots I suppose. I've won a a few hundred on just a .60 cent bet so I think I just keep chasing that first experience playing this game. I like to play this one when I'm up a bit but as previously mentioned, it can be a real money drainer until it hits.

EVEN THOUGH this game will probably win big ONLY after putting in $500-$1000 (I put in approx. $380)....DO NOT PLAY UNLESS YOU HAVE HUNDREDS to mess around with and lots of time.

If you are familiar, this game is EXACTLY like the new game MARDI GRAS MAGIC (takes LOTS of $ and gives STUPID WINS-.03-.20 crap even playing .50 and I have NOT won on the new Mardi GM...have lost $500 on it in approximately 2 weeks) to which is like the old SAMBA SUNSET which I did end up winning $1000 on .50 bet AFTER I put in approx. $1200!). Point is....avoid this one if you wanna' hold on to your monies a little longer. XOXOX

I really wanted to like this one and I kept trying to like it, but I just can't seem to bring myself back to it.

Maybe I've never caught it on the right variance swing but the base game payouts were just depressing, pennies at best for me, and the bonus feature seemed impossible to trigger. The graphics are great and the suggested win potential seems impressive but for me illusive as it gets. It's too bad because I really love donkeys, too.

This game at first, appears to be interesting but the lack luster fades off in a hurry. The game has potential but it just didn't do it for me. Maybe with a descent real balance I would spend more time playing this game and have better things to say about the game. For now the 3.0 review is all I can give it.

Not really a fan of this game. The base game wins aren't that great and it seems to be really hard to trigger the free spins round, and often that round is just dead spins too.

In other words, I have just lost money on this game most of the time. I have seen some big win screenshots and videos but since I don't like the theme much either, I will just give this a OK rating.

I like the mexican theme of this slot but I am not a great fan of 243 ways slot, because I can not choose the number of paylines I want, so they don't correspond to the way I play. That's why my rating is only 3. But the graphics quality of this slot is good, much better than in many old real time gaming slots, and I also...

Well, RTG software doesn't have many 243 ways or more games, so, it is a nice addition for the lovers of all-way win games. But, this game lacks an attractive points for players. There are many interesting slots in Mexican theme. But, this game is not really differentiated in any way. Just a new cheap game of RTG. Good...

This is one of the few RTG slots that i enjoy playing. Unlike older ones that sometimes are horribly slow to force us into quickspinning this one is fluid and run fast enough to be able to enjoy playing without the need to quickspin. The music reminds me of vacations in mexico too hehe. I play it everytime i am on RTG.
