Big Juan slot by Pragmatic Play is at least a bit different from their usual format albeit with a quite a common theme. We get many Spanish or Mexican games including Pragmatic's own Hot Fiesta slot, then we witnessed Pinata Bandidos slot as Genesis Gaming's effort and who can forget IGT's great Pamplona slot from years ago? Here our archetypal moustachioed male woos the lady with his annoying guitar strumming and the symbols yet again involve chilli and pinatas, and surely I don't need to tell you the music style that accompanies your play. So can Juan give our bankroll a big boost here or will it be muerto for our money?
On the reels...
The 5 reel of 4 rows have stacked symbols and 40 lines are present on Big Juan slot. Pinata scatters appear on all reels and there's single Chilli Wilds initially but there is a Wild Switch feature whereby if 6+ identical symbols appear on the middle 3 reels, they all turn into Wild Chillies too. The pays for 6-of-a-kinds aren't high with Juan 6.25x bet, Senorita 5x, Chihuahua 3.75x, Sauce or Guitar 2.5x and 5 card values all paying 1x. That's all for the base game.
Re-spins Feature
You get 10, 12 or 15 for 3, 4 or 5 Pinatas respectively. You are now faced with a 3x3 grid with the centre position a Bag of Coins. You can spin in either coin values, jackpot tiles or extra spin. On the right is a single reel which either awards Win symbol or Boost. A Win symbol will pay any coin values in view, a boost will add them to the Bag of Coins as well so it only increases in value and is paid every time a Win symbol lands thereafter as well as any coins you may hit on that re-spin. The symbols, aside from the Bag of Coins, are not held. On the left you have 4 fixed jackpot values of 12.5x, 50x, 250x and 2,500x and these only fill in their respective meters if landing when a Win symbol lands. You need to collect 3 in the meter for the Mini, 4 for the Minor and 5 for either the Major or Grand. Your round is capped at 2,600x bet.
Our View...
Big Juan slot has a 96.70% RTP and you can buy the bonus in some countries for 100x bet in which case the RTP is lower at 96.53%! The game is colourful and those Wild Boost wins can be quite good in the base game. The free games are not too rare here but don't often pay much in all fairness but even so, are fun to watch and the lower jackpots can be won more than once with of course the chance of the Grand 2,500x one. The game is marked as high volatility too though with these daft Pragmatic pay out limits I wouldn't call 2,600x the mark of a volatile maths model. I don't know about Big Juan, more like average Juan...
