Slot Details

Dia Del Mariachi Megaways is a cascading video with six dynamic reels, each with 2 to 7 symbols, leading to a random number of bet ways between 324 to 117,649 on every spin. Pays are awarded for two to six matching symbols landing on adjacent reels from left to right only. You can spin join the mad Mariachis from 0.20 to 20 credits per spin. The game has high volatility with an RTP of 96.42%. Using the Bony Buy option does not change the RTP value.

A colourful scene from a Mexican village serves as the fitting background to the giant Megaways game window. To the left is the display for the fixed jackpots (desktop) while the various musical instruments used by the Mariachi band dominate on the reels. The members make a brief appearance when the Sombrero Spin is triggered in the base game. A typical lively soundtrack played by the band provides the main audio.

The pay symbols start at the low end with card royals from 9 through to A, held on wooden boards and awarding 1x to 1.5x your bet for a single six of a kind. They are followed by a set of maracas, trumpets, violins and guitars. Hit six across the reels to win 2x to 50x your stake. A flowery “W” is the wild symbol, appearing on the horizontal scroll only unless added to the main reels by one of the modifiers and performing the usual substitutions duties.

Special symbols – Pinata, Firecracker, Rocket, Wheel – can land on the horizontal tracker to award modifiers when the Sombreros on top are lit. Lastly, a golden sombrero acts as the scatter on the main reels.

Dia Del Mariachi Megaways Slot Features

Microgaming and its partners keep making good use of their Megaways licence with Dia Del Mariachi Megaways bringing the number close to a dozen since they debuted with Shamrock Holmes Megaways in January 2021. Coincidentally, All41 Studios was the developer for that one too. Reason enough to take a closer look at what they included on this occasion.

At the start of every spin sequence, symbols cascade from the top onto the six reels based on the random selection of reel positions. In addition, the extra tracker at the top of the game window will spin four symbols into view abeam reels two to five adding an extra symbol position to those reels. Together, they can create anything from 324 to 117,649 ways to win. A display at the bottom (desktop) shows the number of active ways for the current spin.

Land two to six matching symbols on adjacent reels and you have a winner. All in a combo will be part of a reaction that will see them explode to make room for new symbols to tumble into place. The process will continue as long as more wins occur after a reaction. All are accumulated and paid before the next spin starts.

Watch out for one or more Mariachi band members or the entire crew to pop up randomly at the start of a spin in the base game to trigger the Sombrero Spin. Based on the number, 1 – 4 sombreros at the top of the horizontal tracker will light up. Landing one of the special symbols in a highlighted position will activate the respective modifier.

  • Piñata: Awards a random bet multiplier as extra win – x2, x3, x5 or x10
  • Firecracker: Turns itself and the entire reel wild. They won’t be sticky and disappear after they were part of a winning combo
  • Rocket: Turns itself and three random symbols, except scatters, into wilds. Again, they are not sticky and will be removed with the next cascade.
  • Wheel: The moment where you can win one of four fixed jackpots – Mini at 15x, Minor at 50x, Major at 500x and Mega at 10,000x bet. A segmented bonus wheel will appear, giving you one spin to determine which jackpot you will win.

Activated modifiers will be applied before the win evaluation for the current cascade. The Piñata will award its prize before being removed. The symbols in the scroll then move to the left to fill the empty position. More than one modifier can land within a spin sequence but will only be awarded if it stops underneath a highlighted Sombrero.

Dia Del Mariachi Megaways Slot Free Spins

Hitting 4 Sombrero scatters anywhere on the main reels within a single spin sequence will trigger 10 Free Spins. Any further will add +2 spins to the tally. Landing again four scatters during the feature will retrigger 10 spins. Every free spin is a Sombrero Spin with all four sombreros highlighted, guaranteeing at least one modifier per game round. No multipliers or other extras are available in the bonus feature.

For those impatient among us who cannot wait for an organic feature trigger, there is the Buy Free Spins option that will let you cut through the chase and go straight to the main event (restricted in some jurisdictions). Clicking on the golden button to the left of the spin button (desktop) will open a pop-up screen, displaying the cost to purchase the Free Spins feature. On this occasion, it is 80x your default bet. Once confirmed, the game will start a spin sequence that is guaranteed to land at least four Sombrero scatters.

Final Verdict

In an ever-growing sea of Megaways games, it becomes increasingly difficult for developers to stand out with their creations. Taking a first look at Dia Del Mariachi Megaways made us yawn as it included yet again the fixed jackpots that Microgaming has used countless times in the past. However, diving deeper into the Mexican party atmosphere and gameplay unearthed the four modifiers, each with a distinct potential impact on the winnings. Overall, the well-known solid Megaways action with a few interesting sidekicks.
