Wild Luchador Slot Review
Grab the tequila, throw on a mask and get ready to wrestle in Wild Luchador from Quickspin.
Wild Luchador may not look like anything more than a quirky take on Mexican Luchadors at first, but the gameplay and potential will knock the wind out of you like you’ve just been bodyslammed.
Wild Luchador delivers mucho Wilds, mucho Multipliers and mucho potential. Let’s head ringside to see Wild Luchador in action.
Wild Luchador Slot Theme
The Theme for Wild Luchador situates you in the middle of a ring looking outward towards a bustling crowd of spectators. Everything in the background is very two dimensional, so players probably won’t be too overwhelmed with the artistic impression here. That being said, it does well to convey the theme that Quickspin was going for.
The music of Wild Luchador does especially well to set the scene for an action-packed night out in Mexico with fiesta music that really livens things up.
Overall, we think Quickspin have done well to create something that grabs your attention with Wild Luchador. If you’re impressed by what they’ve done design-wise, then you’ll definitely want to stick around to experience the gameplay.
Wild Luchador: Betting and Symbols
Betting options in Wild Luchador are pretty extensive, but those who exclusively play at £/€0.10 or £/€0.20 stakes might feel conflicted about this one. The lowest option here is £/€0.30 per spin which doesn’t sound like much of an increase but will slowly add up to more money wagered, which could put low stakes players off. On the other end of the scale, the highest betting option here is £/€90, and with plenty in between most people should feel sufficiently catered for in Wild Luchador.
The highest paying symbol in this slot is the Skull Symbol, followed by the Tequila, Candles, Chilli, Cactus and Guitar. Low paying symbols are Ace, King, Queen and Jack, 10 & 9, and there’s also a Wild Symbol which substitutes for all symbols except for the Death Clock Scatter Symbol.
Wild Luchador: The Base Game and Features
Wild Luchador is a 5 reel slot with 243 pay ways. To form a win, you’ll need to connect at least 3 of any symbol from left to right on adjacent reels, starting from the left-most reel.
The payout potential here is surprisingly good, and you’ll undoubtedly see some Base Game hits that replenish the balance as you spin.
The shining feature here is the Luchador Wilds, which can activate within the Base Game and form some crazy wins.
Luchador Wilds
Luchador Wilds can strike random reels at any time.
When this happens a short animation will ensue, which shows Luchadors being fired from a cannon. Pay attention to how many fires out of the cannon, because this is how many Luchador Stacked Wilds you’ll get.
Up to 5 Luchador Wilds can strike at any time, and if they do then you’ll have a full screen of stacked wilds and a huge win to go with it.
As you’d imagine, 5 Luchadors don’t come easy. Quite often only one or two may fire from the cannon, but even these have the potential to form some great hits if they’re in the right places.
The Luchador Wild Feature will be fundamental when it comes to the Dead Slam Free Spins mode.
Dead Slam Free Spins
To gain entry to the Dead Slam Free Spins, you’ll need at least 3 Death Clock Scatters.
- 3 Death Clock Scatters – 7 Free Spins + x2 Multiplier
- 4 Death Clock Scatters – 7 Free Spins + x3 Multiplier
- 5 Death Clock Scatters – 7 Free Spins + x5 Multiplier
You’ll notice that the Luchadors have had a bit of an outfit change in this mode having opted for Day of the Dead attire instead. In Dead Slam Free Spins, the Luchadors will appear much more often with a strike almost every spin. Dead Slam Free Spins has all the potential of the Base Game Luchadors plus a lot more with them Multipliers in effect.
5 Luchadors on Screen with an x5 Multiplier might cause you to elbow drop your computer in disbelief, and you’d be forgiven for doing so considering how significant the payout would be.
