golden calaveras slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

So just what is the deal with the Calavera anyway? Well, according to Wikipedia, it is a representation of a human skull and is most often used to describe edible or decorative skulls made from either sugar or clay. These artefacts are most often used in the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead and the Roman Catholic holiday known as All Souls’ Day. The term can also refer to any artistic representation of a skull. Still, the most widely known Calaveras are created with cane sugar before being decorated with coloured foils, icing, beads, and feathers. The “Golden” Calaveras featured in this game don’t seem to resemble this typical description, but it sure makes for an interesting and unique theme for an online slot!

Yet again, I must admit to being a little uninformed regarding some of the symbols in an online slot… sigh. I wondered if Google Lens could tell me what some of these things are, but the only one it recognised was the sombrero. Yes, Google, thanks for that; I know what those are! I’m going to call the highest-paying symbol the red hot water bottle… that is on fire… and is decorated with a skull and crossbones. Yes, I’m sure that’s what it is. A full pay line of five-of-a-kind of these will pay you 50x your bet, whilst the guitar symbol is worth 40x for all five. The green sombrero will pay you 30x for five-of-a-kind, as will the three candles. That completes the high-paying part of the paytable – only four symbols doesn’t seem like much, but all symbols are stacked on the reels, and the setup seems to work well.

The betting range starts at a very low roller friendly €0.10 per spin, whilst the maximum is €20.00 – not a crazily high maximum bet, but still, more than enough for the average slot player, let's face it.

base game & MODIFIERS

The base game of Golden Calaveras plays out similarly to many other online slots, but there are just enough unique and innovative features here to give the game a different feel. Yes, it is a typical 5x3 playfield, and yes, it is a ten fixed payline game, but these aren’t bad things as long as the feature set holds up.

golden calaveras slot free spins feature

There’s quite a lot going on in the base game already, but Silverback Gaming has been kind enough to include a free spins feature as well. Three scatter symbols are required to trigger the bonus round, and you will receive a 20x cash prize immediately and up to 100 free spins!

The free spins bonus round starts at a 1x multiplier, increasing by 1x with each subsequent spin. A three-scatter trigger will award just 10 free spins, but you can also win 20, 50, or 100 free spins when the feature is triggered by more than three scatter symbols.

If you hit any further bonus symbols whilst the feature is in play, up to 3 more free spins will be added to your remaining counter. If you hit three bonus symbols at once, a full retrigger will be activated, adding at least ten more free spins to your remaining total.
