Dia Del Mariachi Megaways Slot

Bringing people together through music is the general message of the mariachi band phenomenon: getting families side by side to socialize, exchange stories and opinions, pass down traditions from generation to generation, to find company and work.

These small orchestras, which came from the western lands of Mexico in the early 1800s, have, like most bands, rhythm, horn and string sections. But what makes them clearly distinguishable is each member’s charro outfit, the sombrero on the head, the oversized guitar – guitarrón and that the mariachi is a family business – passed down from father to son.

With folkloric roots, this quintessential “music of the poorest” celebrates romance, unifying culture, folk heroes and life. It is considered music for the soul, as famous as indoor or street music and true pan-Mexican entertainment.

The developer loaded the slot with good music, funny animations and 4 lovable characters, each presenting a specific band section. Players have the chance to see small comic performances at the start of the special feature – Sombrero Spin. It activates 1 of 4 possible Modifiers landing on the extra horizontal reel.

Speaking of the layout, we should mention that like all MegaWays (MW) games, Dia Del Mariachi also comes with Rolling Reels (cascading) engine and the very top line (above the 6 default reels) assists in creating payouts on 117649 winways.

Dia Del Mariachi comes with a narrow betting scope (between 20 cents and 20 CAD), a high hit frequency of almost 36% and a respectable RTP of 96.42% (by default). Like most MW creations, the game has stretched out cycle and High Volatility (i.e. both reasons for a lengthy waiting for the Bonus round) and boasts with its 10000x the total bet maximum win prospect in a single spin.

Piñatas – bursting with cash, Firecrackers – going off, Rockets – exploding with extra Wilds – can put a big dent on the reels. And the white cat on top occasionally wakes up during the city siesta when things get tumultuous on the field.

The last of the Modifiers leads to a Jackpot Wheel with 4 in-game prizes, giving players the chance to spin in a typical “Día de Muertos” setting – an altar with sweets, skulls, candles and marigolds.

How does Dia Del Mariachi fit in the MegaWays segment of All41’s portfolio?

Dia Del Mariachi, we have found out – is the 4^th MegaWays project realized by this Headquartered in Tallinn Microgaming’s Partner. Check out our chart below with quick facts about the 4 MW titles from All41 Studios:

• Dia Del Mariachi Megaways slot
• Shamrock Holmes Megaways slot
• Joyful Joker Megaways slot
• Forgotten Island Megaways slot

All in all, Dia Del Mariachi MegaWays is not a complicated online slot, but we do not think it is suitable for starters. Due to the skyrocketing variance, this could result in a string of dead rounds or such with poor wins (smaller than the stake, i.e. actually losses).

In both: the base game and the Bonus, edgy situations are to be expected. It does require a large starting capital but prolonging or re-trigger the FS is pretty much possible. And due to the potential for multiple Modifiers during the cascades on every spin during the Bonus, this risky yet entertaining slot can dazzle you with huge prizes.

We leave positive advice for all bettors who like the MW mechanics. They can try their luck with the Dia Del Mariachi MW real money slot in medium-length sessions with small-scale bets (up to 2 CAD).

Bonus Features

• MegaWays – The playing field comes with a fixed number of reels – 6 (vertical). This number sets out the payoff possibilities (per symbol) shown on the paytable – a max of 6OAK. The extra (horizontal) line – applied on top of the central reels, provides extra chances. In parallel with the irregular number of symbols falling on each spin (between 2 and 7) on each reel, the number of potential winways also varies between 64 and 117649 on each individual cascade.
• Rolling Reels – The whole game is based on avalanche/cascade waves, which means:

1. Disintegrating previously paid winning combos;
2. Generating a place where the following icons can be dropped;
3. Potentially creating new winning combos, and
4. Continue back with A) until no more new combos can be constructed.

• Wilds – Letter “W” decorated with marigolds is the gap filler – Wild in the game. It usually pops up above the grid on the extra line, but when partakes in the Sombrero Spin can appear anywhere on the grid.
• Sombrero Spin – There are 4 Bonus symbols (Modifiers) which only fall on the upper reel and get active during a Sombrero Spin. In such a special spin, 1 of the 4 hats above the grid is highlighted. Then there are 3 possibilities for that special spin:

1. No special Bonus symbol falls under the highlighted hat.
2. 1 of the 4 Modifiers does appear under the highlighted hat.
3. Random guaranteed highlighted hat. This happens in the base game when a member of the band randomly appears in front of the grid and grants a special chance (i.e. a guaranteed highlighted hat ready for Modifiers).

• Modifiers – During the last 2 occasions (from the Sombrero Spin) and in the Bonus round (when always all 4 hats are constantly active) the following Modifiers come into play:

1. Piñata – awarding instant cash of x2/x3/x5/x10 the current bet;
2. Firecracker – awarding an entire Wild reel under the triggering Modifier;
3. Rocket – awarding up to 3 extra Wilds, in addition to transforming itself to Wild.
4. Jackpot Wheel – awarding a spin for winning 1 of the 4 in-game Jackpots:
   Mini (15x), Minor (50x), Major (500x) and Mega (10000x), respectively.

• Scatters & Free Spins – The Sombrero gold bar is the Scatter in the game. It doesn’t bring value, but 10/12/14 FS will be granted for landing respectively 4/5/6 Scatters. In the Bonus round always all 4 hats are active and standing by for the special symbols (Modifiers) to land in them.
• Bonus Buy – For the hasty spinners who want to skip the base game, there is an option to jump straight to the Bonus round by purchasing entry at 80x the total bet price.
