Luchamigos Slot Review 2024

Step into the ring with Play’n GO and fight for big wins in their latest release, Luchamigos!

Three best friends stumble across a magical Chilli that transforms the person who consumes it into Pro Wrestlers. Now pumped with super strength and speed, the three amigos can finally fulfill their destiny of becoming a member of the Luchadores and win themselves a fortune.

Lucha Libre is a Spanish term meaning freestyle wrestling that first came to light in Mexico in the early 20th Century. Since then, this sport has developed into a unique form of wrestling, where wrestlers wear colourful masks and pull off high-flying maneuvers.

Get ready to witness a somewhat friendly wrestling match between friends, with 3 Hot Amigo Features and an epic Power Chile Spins round, but will Luchamigos be a total KO? Let’s play on and find out!

Hot Amigos Feature

During the base game, landing 1 Amigo Wild symbol across the reels at the same time as a Power Chile Scatter symbol on reels 1, 3, or 5 triggers the 1 of 3 random Hot Amigo features.

• Gran Chico Feature – Gran Chico creates a 2×2 Mega Wild.
• Roco Elastico Feature – Roco Elastico awards 1 row of Stacked Wilds.
• Muchos Salvajes Feature – Muchos Salvajes awards up to 4 random Wilds.

Luchamigos Free Spins

Landing 3 Power Chile Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 7 Free Spins. 

During Free Spins, the Hot Amigos feature can randomly trigger without a Power Chile Scatter in view. Each time a Hot Amigo Wild lands in view, the Chile Meter above the reel set will progress, awarding additional Free Spins, up to a maximum of 15 in total.

A special Hot Spin feature can be triggered each time you reach a fire icon on the Chile Meter. This awards a guaranteed win and activates 1 of 3 Hot Amigo features each time.

Reaching the top of the Chile Meter triggers the Ultimate Spin which is awarded at the end of the Free Spins round. The Ultimate Spin will award a guaranteed win and automatically triggers 1 of 3 Hot Amigo features in their strongest ability.

• Gran Chico – Awards a 2×3 Mega Wild.
• Roco Elastico – Awards 2 Stacked Wild reels.
• Muchos Slavajes – Awards up to 6 Random Wilds.

Luchamigos: Our Verdict

Luchamigos is a beautifully designed slot that’s bursting with colourful animations and modern graphics. It’s nice to see a provider such as Play’n GO give their games the TLC they deserve instead of pushing their latest releases out when they still need a little fine-tuning as others have done in the past.

Like many other recurring slot themes, the Lucha Libre theme is one that we have crossed paths with many times over, but it’s what the Provider does with gameplay that really gets our attention, but has Play’n GO managed to do just that?

The Hot Amigos feature is relatively simple and easy to understand, yet can pack quite a punch. Landing yourselves an Amigo Wild at the same time as a Chile Scatter grants you 1 of 3 Hot Amigo features, all of which bring something new and exciting to the ring in the form of potential.

During Power Chile Spins, you can expect more of the same but with a few interesting tweaks. Here you will be able to win yourselves additional spins by progressing up the Chile Meter with each Amigo Wild that lands in view. Also, the Power Chile Scatter has been removed during this round, but the good news is that you can still trigger the Hot Amigo features without it.

Climbing the Chile Meter isn’t quite as difficult as climbing Everest, but you will still need a fair few Amigo Wilds to land if you’re to cash in on the Ultimate Spin feature at the top.

All in all, Luchamigos isn’t quite a top-tier game, but it will definitely keep you entertained.
