Esqueleto Explosivo

This game is no longer available at Wombat Casino. Sorry about that chaps! Why not try Thunderkick’s Esqueleto Explosivo 2  slot instead? 

The Wombat says:  Thunderkick’s Esqueleto Explosivo slot is based on the Day of the Dead celebrated in Mexico and other countries in Central and South America.

Thunderkick is the studio behind great games such as Arcader, Well of Wonders and The Wildos slot.

Celebrating Your Ancestors

Anyway, on the Day of the Dead, people remember friends and family who have died and cook up gifts of sugar skulls and other snacks for the dead to enjoy – just in case the souls of their loved ones decide to pop in for a cuppa or rather a coffee that day.

Meet Enrico Mortis and his famous mariachi band, The Boners, who celebrate the Day of the Dead by exploding their heads off to give you some chunky wins.

Hence the name; Esqueleto Explosivo – which is Spanish for Exploding Skeleton. If this is all too much for you, try the Joker Pro slot machine for a more traditional game!

Look and Feel

‘Bari-bara, orrrrie, guitarra, aa-aa, ai-ia, la-la-la, ii-ii’ – that’s the delightful ditty that the “Boners” sing as they (quite literally) lose their heads on the reels.

This Wombat is a fan of the cheerful Mexican fiesta music and was singing along with the Mariachi band in no time.

So a thumbs up for the soundtrack…

Superb Graphics

The graphics are good too, and this nicely animated slot is set in a Mexican pueblo with tequila, candlelight shrines, flowers and guitars in the background. The reels are made up of five guitar playing skeletons (hang on, one has a trumpet) and as you start to spin, brightly-coloured and heavily moustachioed Sugar Skulls pile up on top of each other to create the reels and to make combos on its lines.

Nice work Thunderkick, the best thing we’ve seen since the Turning Totems slot! What do you feed your designers?

Esqueleto Explosivo Game Play

This slot game is a bit different from the rest. With five reels and seventeen pay lines Esqueleto Explosivo slot uses dropping symbols instead of symbols that spin. This means that winning icons from each winning combo disappear, and are immediately replaced by new ones.

Multiple Chances to Win per Spin

This gives you the chance to win more than once on EVERY single spin, nice! Plus, with each consecutive win, the Mucho Multiplier goes up a notch, starting at 2x, then 4x and 8x, and goes on until 32x – if you get really lucky!

Your symbols on the reels are the different band members, the dark blue skull with the massive tache, the light blue skull with all its teeth missing, the green lady skull with a flower in her hair (?), the orange skull and the romantic pink skull with the rose between his teeth.

Go Pink

The ladies’ man pink Sugar Skull will pay out the most, giving you 2.5x your bet. What a gentleman!

Keep your eyes peeled for the Explosivo Wild symbol, too – it’s the yellow skull dude in aviator sunglasses that will automatically blow up the closest eight symbols next to it when it lands, replacing them with a fresh batch of sugar skull symbols. Kaboom!

Conclusion

Who said you can sleep when you’re dead? This band of happy skeletons is party mad, and proves that you can have fun even if you’re pushing up the daisies. There are no Free Spins or bonuses here, it’s all about the Multipliers and exploding wild symbols instead, but we like the simple and rewarding gameplay.

Give it a spin, and even if skeleton Mariachi bands aren’t your thing, they soon will be!

Wombat score: 5/5

The Esqueleto slot is Super, Super bueno, amigos!
