A regular round of Pinata Smash begins with a six-reel setup comprised of three symbols on each reel. Hitting a winning combination will split the comprising symbols into two smaller pieces. This process can occur two more times, which by my math would create a layout of six reels at 24 rows each, but I must be going wrong somewhere as Skywind’s advertised maximum way count is 2,985,984 – that’s six reels of 12 rows, not 24.

This randomly triggered event claims to add dynamite symbols to all reels when activated, but I think that description is somewhat confusing; dynamite symbols might well be ADDED to the reel strips, but that doesn’t mean you will land one on every strip, which is how the paytable makes it sound.

I’ve had as little as one dynamite symbol and half a dozen or so quite a few times. When the reels stop spinning, all dynamite symbols will reveal the same symbol hidden underneath – this may result in nothing at all, or it may result in a huge win that will keep on splitting and adding more dynamite to the screen until you reach the free game chance feature. We’ve seen this type of feature many times in Megaways slots, so if you are familiar with the mystery symbol feature of those games, then this one works the same way.

Here’s an odd one – this feature is described in the paytable, but I could not get it to activate regardless of which country I switched my VPN to – I feel sure that it is likely included in the full real-money game, but it seems to be missing from the demo slot.

According to the paytable, you’ll need to increase your bet by 40% to activate extra dynamite, guaranteeing every spin is a dynamite spin. I don’t think I would pay 40% more for that modifier – it’s just far too unpredictable. I might consider it if it was 10% or 20% at a push. At 40%, I just don’t see how it could be profitable.

If you can split any reel into its maximum number of segments (12), you will be asked to pick a Pinata at the end of the spin for a chance to win a special free game. When this game commences, you can potentially unlock extra free spins by splitting another reel into 12 segments during your free spin. There’s no free lunch here, however; each time you unlock a new reel, you’ll need to pick a pinata again to decide if you can continue or if your bonus round is over. You could potentially trigger this 50/50 choice six times in a row with six reels. You have a 1.56% chance of success should that occur, which I think you might agree, doesn’t feel like the odds are stacked in your favour.

Here’s another strange one – two bonus buy features are described on the paytable, yet they are seemingly missing from the slot's demo version. Again, I feel confident that they must exist, so I will tell you about them even though I wasn’t able to experience them myself:

• Split’N’Lock Feature – Costs 100x your stake and presents you with five pinatas to select from. These selections hide prizes of between four and ten free spins, during which any split reels will remain split for the duration of the bonus round. If you manage to unlock any reel to the maximum height of 12 symbols during this feature, the free games chance feature will activate as in the main game.

• Dynamite Feature – For a whopping 350x your regular stake, you can opt for this option which also offers between four and ten free spins, but these spins are all guaranteed to by dynamite spins in addition to the features of the Split’N’Lock feature. Note that you can gamble for these spins instead of the Split’N’Lock spins after you pay your 100x stake – I wouldn’t say I like this and feel it is precisely why the UKGC chose to ban bonus buy features in their jurisdiction altogether. Skywind, take note – you can’t make someone pay 100x their regular bet, then ask them if they want to throw it away a second later!
  

This is a crazy online slot, and I am thoroughly disappointed that I was unable to find any way to access the bonus buy and extra dynamite features described on the paytable. I’m really looking forward to seeing how much people can win out of this game over the next few months – the potential for mammoth wins is definitely here, according to the developer. Will we see such wins emerge? I really hope so!
