Game Overview
In the musical merry-go-round of online slot themes, it was only a matter of time until another game focusing on the Mexican Day of the Dead festival resurfaced. So, without further ado, I’d like to introduce you to Los Cuatro Esqueletos from Relax Gaming, which comes in the form of a standard game and a Dream Drop version too. Stat-wise, this is a 5-reel slot with 10 fixed paylines, an RTP of 94%, and a maximum win of 10,000x bet.
Cutting straight to the chase here, Los Cuatro Esqueletos is an expanding symbol slot, so as you’d expect, the base game is sparse on features, as is often the case with these styles of games. We do have two main bonus rounds that can be won though, with the standard free spins feature triggered when three or more scatters land in view. Once active, players will get to pick one icon from the screen, which will reveal their special expanding symbol for the duration of the bonus. There is also an enhanced version of the free spins that can be triggered, and you’ll need to collect 600 of the scatter symbols in the base game for it to be activated.
Are you all partied out, or can you handle another day of wild musical celebrations? The best way to find out is to try our free demo slot of Los Cuatro Esqueletos. It’s ready and waiting for you to spin its reels below.
Los Cuatro Esqueletos Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
The Day of the Dead may be one of the biggest festivals held in Mexico each year, but as I alluded to in the intro, it’s also a theme that has been used several times over for online slots. In fact, if you scour our library of video slots, you’ll uncover countless games within this genre, such as Pragmatic Plays Day of Dead and Muertos Multiplier Megaways, and Thunderkick’s classic Esqueleto Explosivo 2. Are we about to see another must-play title added to this niche of slots from Relax, or is mixing it with a book-style game taking things too far? Let’s head over to the pays section and kick off our review.
Sitting at the top of the paytable, we have four different coloured Esqueletos. The highest paying is the purple worth 500x the bet for a five of a kind win. Next is the red Esqueleto worth 200x, followed by the orange and blue Esqueletos with equal payouts of 75x bet for a winning combo of five. The low pays are represented by four royal symbols, with Ace and King paying 15x bet for all five, and finally, the Queen and Jack, both worth 10x the bet for a five of a kind win.
The betting range offers plenty of choices for those wanting to play for real money, with stakes starting from a minimum of €0,20 and reaching up to a maximum of €100. There are over 35 options between these amounts, so players of all sized budgets should comfortably be able to find a stake to spin at comparable to their bankroll.
Base Game & Modifiers
Played across a classic video slot matrix of 5×3, Los Cuatro Esqueletos has 10 fixed paylines that remain in place throughout the base game and free spins feature. For a win to be awarded, players will need to match a minimum of two premium paying symbols or three low value symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel first. These symbols will also have to land on one of the active paylines.
Scatter & Wild Symbol
The Piñata acts as the wild symbol and the scatter within the game. Therefore, it will substitute for all other symbols helping you to create additional wins.
Super Free Spins Collection Meter
Positioned to the left of the reels is the Super Free Spins collection meter. Each time a scatter lands in view, it will be added to the meter, and 600 scatters are needed for the enhanced bonus round to be triggered.
Los Cuatro Esqueletos Slot Bonus Features
If three or more scatter symbols land in view, the bonus round will be triggered, and 10 free spins will be awarded. Before the feature begins, players will have to choose from several symbols on the screen. This will reveal the special expanding symbol that will be in play for the duration of the bonus.
Free Spins
During the free spins, the aim is for your symbol to land on as many reels as possible. If it appears on enough, it will expand the full length of the reel, and you will be paid over 10 paylines. In the instances where a premium paying symbol was revealed, it must land on at least two reels for an expansion to occur, whilst lower value symbols will require a minimum of three to hit for a win to be paid.
Super Free Spins
You will receive 10 free spins, and before the start of the super free spins, two special symbols will be chosen randomly. These particular symbols have the ability to expand and occupy the entire reel upon landing. Furthermore, you can re-trigger the feature, granting you an additional 10 free spins and another special symbol. What’s more, there is no limit to the number of times you can reactivate the feature, resulting in all symbols transforming into special expanding symbols.
Pros
- All symbols can be transformed into expanding symbols in the super free spins round.
- A huge choice of stake sizes to play at.
Cons
- An overused theme that has delivered only a handful of classics.
- Collecting 600 scatters for the super free spins bonus seems like an astronomical number to me.
Final Thoughts
I can't say I'm a big fan of the Day of Dead themed slots as it is, so to encounter one that is a "Book of" slot too was never going to appeal to me, and I'm not sure it will to many others either.The saving grace for this game may be that some players enjoy it as part of Relax's Dream Drop series, but other than that, I don't see people queuing up to collect 600 scatters for a chance at the super free spins feature. Who knows though, give the demo a try and see if you agree or not.
