Luchamigos Slot Review

Luchamigos Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Luchamigos slot is played on 5 reels and comes with 1,024 paylines. Way wins are awarded for adjacent symbol combinations from left to right, beginning from reel 1. Only the highest winning combination is paid per symbol combination.

Stakes range from 10p up to £100 per spin, which means that it caters to all pockets. Simply used the + and – buttons below the reels to adjust your total bet. You can also click one of the pre-defined values shown if you wish. Autoplay and turbo spins are also options for non-UK players.

The Luchamigos RTP is 96%, which is around the average figure for online UK slots of this kind. But it’s a little lower than many of the best Play’n GO slots as they typically have an RTP rate of 96.2%. In terms of volatility, this game sits in the medium to high range.

The maximum win is 10,000 x your total stake per spin or free spin. The Free Spins feature is your best chance of landing the top prize due to the additional features you can enjoy as well as extra free spins.

Theme – discover the magical chilli

The theme in the Luchamigos slot game is all about wrestling. Lucha libre essentially means ‘freestyle wrestling’, and is a term used in Latin America for professional wrestling. It’s a huge sport over in Mexico and other countries in that part of the world.

The reels are set in front of a ring, which has been placed in the centre of a town square. The locals are all chatting away, which gives a sense of the popularity of this sport. There are commentators on either side of the reels, with a traditional tune playing in the background as you spin away. The visuals are pretty basic, but I like how they’ve done the audio. It’s very authentic.

On the reels, the card suits make up the lower-paying symbols – clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades. These are joined by high-paying gloves, trunks, boots and belts, which all make up part of a wrestler’s attire. The belt is the most rewarding symbol, paying 2, 4 or 12 x your total stake for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

The game’s standard Wild pays the same as the belt, and it substitutes for all symbols except the Power Chile Scatter. There’s also an Amigo Wild in the game, which can trigger the Hot Amigo feature. More on that further down.

Luchamigos Mobile

The Luchamigos slot has been created using the latest HTML5 technology. This means it can be played on mobiles, laptops, PCs and tablet devices. Mobile players can enjoy this Play’n GO release on iOS or Android, and it plays really well on smaller screens with its 5×4 reel setup.

Luchamigos Bonus Features

There are 4 bonus features to get stuck into in the Luchamigos slot game. The Power Chile Spins are the main part of the action, but you’ve also got 3 Hot Amigo features with Gran Chico, Roco Elastico and Muchos Salvajes. Read on to understand how the bonus features work in full.

Hot Amigo feature

Alongside the standard Wilds in the game are Amigo Wilds. When any of these land with a Power Chile Scatter in the base game of the Power Chile Spins feature of the Luchamigos slot, the Hot Amigo feature is triggered. There are 3 possible modifiers with Stacked Wilds, Mega Wilds and Random Wilds:

• Roco Elastico – upgrades into Hot Amigo and creates 1 Stacked Wild
• Muchos Salvajes – creates a 2×2 Mega Wild and creates 4 Random Wilds
• Gran Chico – upgrades into Hot Amigo and creates a 2×2 Mega Wild

Power Chile Spins Feature

Landing 3 Power Chile Scatters in the base game of the Luchamigos slot game will trigger this bonus feature and award 7 free spins. The Scatters appear on reels 1, 3 and 5 only. It’s important to note here that Hot Amigo features can activate on any spin without the Power Chile Scatter. Landing a Hot Amigo symbol will also see you progress the Chile Meter above the reels, as shown in the screenshot above.

Reaching the +2 on the Chile Meter will award 2 extra spins, which means that up to 15 free spins are available in total. You will also not fire icons on the Chile Meter. Once you reach any of those, a Hot Spin will occur, awarding a guaranteed win and activating 1 of the 3 Hot Amigo features, as explained above.

If you complete the Chile Meter, an Ultimate Hot Spin will trigger once you’ve used all of your free spins. This will guarantee you a win and activates 1 of the 3 Hot Amigo features with its strongest ability, which is:

• Roco Elastico –Creates 2 Stacked Wilds
• Muchos Salvajes –Creates 6 Random Wilds
• Gran Chico – Creates a 2×3 Mega Wild

Luchamigos Review Summary – a KO victory

I really enjoyed the Luchamigos slot. I think the audio really helped here as you can get some will very dull soundtracks that will have you reaching for the mute button straight away. This was the complete opposite. I enjoyed listening to the traditional music as I was spinning away.

I must admit that I didn’t land many bonus features during testing, so I can only assume the chances of landing these are quite low, although we don’t have that specific information to share from the provider as they don’t disclose it.

Essentially, the game is all about the Wilds, with Stacked Wilds, Random Wilds and Mega Wilds all playing a big part when it comes to potentially winning big. There are enough bonus features here to keep you interested, but I would have liked to see a multiplier or something else to really top it off and put it alongside some of the best slot games around with a wrestling theme.

Overall, the 10,000 x max win potential will be rare to land, just like most slots, but the wins were very frequent when I was testing this game, albeit on a lower scale payout-wise. But you’re never far away from something happening on the reels, which keeps you interested. The soundtrack does a great job of keeping you gripped too. Overall, it’s a very well-put-together slot and this will certainly appeal to anyone who enjoys the wrestling theme.
