The Veil Thins Out as Spirits Celebrate
Skull Fiesta invites players to visit a supernatural graveyard where the dead roam. While many traditions associate the restless dead with bad omens, Skull Fiesta keeps true to Mexican tradition, showing a more light-hearted side of things where the dead simply wish to reunite with their living relatives and celebrate alongside them.
In this 4×5 slot, players will collect various symbols associated with Mexican culture, including painted skulls, guitars, drums, and maracas.
Día de los Muertos celebrations are further enhanced by the RIP Fortune meter below the reels. The tracker advances when RIP symbols land on the reels, regardless of winning combinations. Once the feature kicks in, up to 10 positions are activated, transforming matching symbols on the reels into Coin symbols with a bet multiplier.
After that, the RIP symbol grants one of several possible effects.
- Replicate – doubles revealed Coin values before awarding the sums
- Reawaken – awards the sum of all current coin values and reactivates the position with new ones
- Reinfest – selects a random number of Coins and enhances their value before awarding the sums
A combined effect featuring two or three of these mechanics is also possible.
Players can win up to 10,000x during both the base game and the bonus round.
The Festivities Culminate During the Eternal Rest Bonus
Landing three or more Scatter symbols, on the other hand, triggers the Eternal Rest Bonus where all game mechanics remain mostly the same, but the RIP Fortune Meter remains persistent throughout the round and does not reset between spins.
Additional RIP Symbols that land during the bonus round add an additional RIP Symbol on the RIP Fortune meter. To top it all off, extra RIP Symbols also award two additional free spins.
Players can use the Buy Bonus feature to buy free spins in markets where this is allowed. Alternatively, they can trigger the Bonushunt Featurespins, doubling their wager while tripping the chance of triggering the Eternal Rest Bonus.
Players can also buy activate the RIP Fortune Featurespins to guarantee themselves a RIP Fortune feature every round.
