Wild Luchador slot summary
Wild Luchador slot from Quickspin retains their tendency of late to compete in the high-volatility market, as we saw with Sticky Bandits 3 slot recently. The oft-used Mexican wrestling theme is what we get here with the local music, a silhouette of the canvas under the reels and the typical symbols reflective of the country. Thunderkick's Luchadora slot and the pretty average Lucha Legends by Microgaming were the last manifestations of this subject so we hope this one has more chilli than those. So can we win some bouts here for our bankroll or will it end up wearing a death mask too?
On the reels...
We have 243-ways to win here so that means 5 reels of 3 rows each on Wild Luchador slot. The 5-of-a-kind pays are Champion Belt Wilds at 33x bet, Skull 17x, Tequila 15x, Candles 13x, Chilli 12x, Cactus 10x, Guitar 8x with six card values paying 5 down to 3x for each full way. Some symbols appear stacked and there are scatters in the form of Death Clocks on all reels. The final symbol and the only actual modifier is the Luchador expanding Wild which can randomly appear on 1-5 reels when you see the Luchador Cannon appear over the grid on a spin. All 5 would pay you a staggering 8100x bet and come to think of it, the pays here are identical to Microgaming's old classic 243-way Thunderstruck 2 slot!
Dead Slam Free Spins
Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters will award 7 free games in all cases. You cannot get extra spins nor retriggers. What you will see is far more Luchador Cannon spins and 1-5 Wild reels and to boot, you get a 2x round multiplier for a 3-scatters trigger, 3x for 4 and 5x for all 5. You may have figured that this then makes the maximum pay for 5 Wild reels on a 5-scatter trigger a whopping 40,500x bet! There are no standard single Wilds in the bonus though. You can buy the feature in some jurisdictions for 70x bet which tells you it has a an average pay of around 66x or so.
Our View...
Wild Luchador slot has a 96.00% RTP or 96.54% if using feature buys exclusively. The sounds and graphics are lively if a little stereotyped and the animations and overall appearance okay. When it comes down to it, the Luchador Cannon is simply equivalent to MG's Thunderstruck 2 Wildstorm feature and as I said, the maths for the base game is exactly the same. The free games are simply a multiplier round with more frequent Luchador Cannons and 90% of the time you'll see one reel, occasionally 2. So we may have potential here but most of the mechanic is a copy and rework of something we've seen before. Not going to bother wrestling this lot again I'm afraid..
