Grim Muerto

What better way to acknowledge life’s biggest milestone - death - than to celebrate it? In Mexico, locals take the opportunity to honour their ancestors like no other culture in the world, with the iconic celebration of the Dia de Muertos, the Day of the Dead. This annual fiesta takes place over two days (or more), in a colourful appreciation for the ways the dead influence the living. It comes with festive music, food, flowers and, of course, the stunning skull theme. The latter has achieved international popularity as a party theme as well as an interior design scheme for Mexican-themed homes and businesses. In 2016, Play’n GO released the day-of-the-dead themed online casino slot Grim Muerto, paying homage to the Mexican celebration. It comes with festive graphics and a cheerfully, cartoonish appearance that echoes the mariachi-style soundtrack. Why not take a spin or two to see if death sending you some luck at Wildz Casino Canada?

Design

Death is not always the sombre, gloomy state represented in Western cultures: this is immediately apparent when you open the game Grim Muerto. It’s not grim at all; instead, you get a lively representation of this Mexican fiesta in slot format. The background is an altar of some kind, colourful and detailed, while the reels are home to the fabric-themed lower-paying symbols, the 10, J, Q, K and A. The stars of this show on this slot are the guitar Wild symbol and the cheerful, skeletal, mariachi players. These are the keys to the bonus features and they’re represented by the guitarist, the violinist, the trumpeter and the accordion player.

Gameplay

There’s plenty of unusual symbol action in this 5-reel, 3-row, 20-pay line video slot, including Expanding Wilds, a Second Chance feature, and a Free Spins round. The base game is a standard reel slot, in which the player simply chooses their wager and presses spin. Small wins may occur, especially when the Wild symbol comes into play, but the real fun comes in with the triggering of the mariachi action.

Bonuses and features

The celebratory nature of Grim Muerto becomes apparent when the bonus features spring into action.

Expanding Wilds

Expanding Wilds make for great fun: during each spin in the main game, one of the reels will be highlighted. If a Wild Guitar symbol lands in the highlighted reel, it will transform all symbols in its reel into Wilds.

Second Chance Feature

If two Scatter symbols appear on the reels, the player will be presented with a Second Chance opportunity to win. Four symbols are shown on the screen and the player clicks one to reveal a coin win, an X which returns the player to the main game, or a 3rd Scatter symbol which will activate Free Spins.

Free Spins

When three scatter symbols land on the reels or a 3rd is revealed in the Second Chance feature, Grim Muerto Free Spins are triggered. This bonus begins with 10 free spins. Before this round begins, a random symbol will be selected to serve as an additional Wild during Free Spins. Also, up to five reels can be highlighted during Free Spins. The combination of an additional Wild and extra highlighted reels increases the frequency of expanded Wilds. Each additional Book (scatter) symbol appearing on the reels during this bonus awards the player an additional three free spins. All free spins are played at the same bet level as the spin which activated the feature. These features make the game interesting, especially when the Free Spins keep on coming during the round.

Play Grim Muerto on the go

Players enjoy the freedom of choice when taking a spin of Grim Muerto. They can play at home on a desktop PC or while on the move on a mobile device, since the game renders perfectly in either format. If the mariachi soundtrack is a little too festive, it may be muted.

Volatility

This game is relatively simple to get the hang of and the Return-To-Player rate of 94.57% reflects that. It’s a medium volatility slot.

Worth a try?

The good times never stop with Grim Muerto, even at death! The serious topic of the theme is transformed into a fiesta-styled slot that provides bonus feature entertainment, tremendous graphics and a catchy soundtrack. There are opportunities to grab a win or two, with a bit of luck, so it’s a good all-rounder for newcomers or seasoned players. It’s fun to see what the different mariachi players get up to in their respective features. The gameplay is slightly different, with the introduction of interesting symbol action, so a spin of Grim Muerto could suit your taste.
