Description
Energetic, bright Piñata Fiesta Slot has 20 Paylines with five reels over three rows, and it’s brought to you by iSoftBet with First Look Games.
With its lively Mexican theme, it features an upbeat, toe-tapping soundtrack to get you in the party mood. The backdrop is a vivid Mexican street complete with (what else?) maraca-wielding cacti.
Be warned: this is a game that could mean you can’t stop dancing all day long!
How to play
Spin away from 0.20 to 20 a pop on your device of choice. Icons include mariachi guitars, margaritas, cacti characters and flaming jalapeños, alongside the standard, less lucrative playing card values.
Of the more rewarding emblems, the flaming jalapeños are your biggest payers, at up to 25x stake for five on a Payline.
Create wins in the usual way with three or more similar symbols.
Functions include Autoplay to spin the reels for up to 1,000 turns, plus the ability to set a limit on your losses.
Piñata Fiesta Slot Special Features
Special Symbols
The Wild here is the golden star balloon sporting sunglasses, with its usual function of substituting for all other neighbouring symbols save the Scatter, the piñata.
Bonus Features
Free Spins
This round bestows 10, 15 or 20 free spins for three, four or five free whirls respectively, and it can be retriggered should another three Scatters show up.
When this round ends, you’ll see a trio of piñatas and will need to choose one, which awards a further three to 10 wager-free whirls. The perk can also be retriggered.
What’s more, each free spin is accompanied by four modifiers that activate at random, throwing the following treats your way:
- Fiesta Frenzy
Any A, K, Q, J or 10 symbols transform into a higher-paying one (including the Wild), leaving you quids in.
- Mega Spiñata
Reels 1 through 3 become a single huge reel with the same icon, again to boost your chances of winning big.
- Popping Wilds bonus
Balloons drift across the reels and any which pop add further Wilds to the equation.
- Grande Reels
With this one, some reels are chosen at random to turn fully Wild.
That’s not all. As the feature closes, three piñatas come tumbling down. Pick one to receive up to 10 additional free goes, or the round closes. (Note you only play this once every time you play this feature.)
Jackpot
There isn’t a progressive jackpot here, but the top non-progressive prize awarded is 500x stake.
Return to Player
You’ll find this game lies somewhere in the middle when it comes to variance, while RTP is pretty generous at 96.04%. It means the moderate wins come fairly consistently and you won’t be hanging around too often in between them.
Verdict
Clearly, other Mexican-themed slots are available. However, Piñata Fiesta slot is a lively offering, with some strong and well-balanced bonus perks and nicely animated visuals and crisp graphics.
It’s also a pretty simple game to play. So we reckon it’s well worth giving a whirl. Try it out in free demo mode first of all, and remember to let us know how you got on. Arriba!
