How To Play Dia Del Mariachi Mobile Slot
Grab your guitar and biggest sombrero as we celebrate the latest of the Megaways slots with up to 117,649 ways to win at Microgaming casinos from All41Studios.
The Dia Del Mariachi Megaways slot has changing rows of symbols, giving you changing ways to win. Every win explodes, allowing more to tumble down, making this a familiar beast for fans of the genre.
You either love Megaways games or you don’t. And if you do, you’ll realise pretty quickly that this Dia Del Mariachi mobile slot is volatile, especially as it has a max win of 10,000x your stake but a low RTP of 94.23%.
The reason for this is that you can win the top win in a single spin simply by landing the wheel of fortune symbol in the sombrero feature. But you could also win instant cash, wild reels, or random wilds, all in the base game and the free spins.
Plenty to unpack as we delve deeper into this Dia Del Mariachi slot review.
The Dia Del Mariachi slot has no multipliers
This is unusual for a Megaways slot – just look at the Apollo God of the Sun 10 slot or Big Bass Bonanza Megaways.
Instead, it tries to draw you in with the Sombreros sitting on top of the horizontal reel above. When these light up, be prepared to land special symbols that turn this sleepy town into a fiesta.
The Piñata gives you instant wins of up to 10x your bet, the rockets turn 3 random symbols wild, and the firecrackers turn the whole reel wild… those are just some of the features that, together, can create a powerful combination of wins.
Better yet, trigger 10 free spins with 4 scatters, and the Sombrero will always be lit, with a bonanza of features open to trigger on any spins.
How to win 10,000x your bet
The problem is that in order to get that top win, you have to hit the wheel of Fortune whilst the Sombreros are lit up. When you do, the wheel of fortune will guarantee that you’ll win anything from 15x to 10,000x your bet, all in a single spin.
Which, when you think about it, makes the rest of the Dia Del Mariachi slot game feel like you are just wasting time till you can hit that wheel. We didn’t see wins much above 50x our bet, though more is clearly possible.
All in all, we probably would still prefer to play on the original Bonanza slot, or maybe a Megaways with a new twist like the Great Pigsby Megapays game. At least you know every spin counts and the RTP is higher.
Still, Dia Del Mariachi is a decent enough video slot, with a big top win. There are the worst real money slot games to play. Not the most glowing game review, but if you are going to play it safe and walk down the middle of the line, you are going to get a middling kind of review.
If you do find it at an online casino, however, it’s not without many fun features.
