Grim Muerto

When the going gets dead, the dead get going! InGrim Muerto, a 2016 online casino pokie from Play’n GO, the enigmatic Mexican celebration of the Dia de Muertos (or Day of the Dead) comes to life. Mexican tradition sees this annual celebration take place as locals gather to honour their ancestors in an appropriate way, by holding a two-day fiesta. This party is loaded with cheerful music, delicious food, flowers and the iconic skull-themed makeup and decorations. This theme has become a global hit, as seen in Mexican-themed parties and businesses around the world. The game centres on the celebration and promotes all the elements of it, including the festive mariachi-playing skeletons and cheerful music. It’s a slot style enjoyed by many, so why not take a spin into Mexican culture with Wildz Casino New Zealand?

Design

The Mexican take on death is a far cry from the gloomy approach normally seen in Western culture. Grim Muerto isn’t grim at all, it’s a wild ride of music and colour. The slot rolls out across a bright altar of symbols and imagery, with the lower-paying card symbols 10, J, Q, K and A decorated in attractive designs. The real stars of this pokie are the guitar Wild which can help to complete combinations and the mariachi players, the guitarist, the violinist, the trumpeter and the accordion player, all of who contribute to triggering fascinating bonus features.

Gameplay

The regular slot action is made more interesting by the additional activity created by certain special symbols. It’s a 5-reel, 3-row, 20-pay line video pokie loaded with Expanding Wilds, a Second Chance feature, and a Free Spins round. The base game isn’t too alluring, with smaller wins created by achieving combinations from left to right, but it gets much more interesting when the Wild and Mariachi bonus features pop into action.

Bonuses and features

Grim Muerto offers players the chance to celebrate when the bonus features kick in (with a bit of luck).

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.
