Lucha Libre

Rolled out on desktop and mobile in April 2015, Lucha Libre is the latest video slot from Realtime Gaming that celebrates the world of Mexican wrestling. The five reel, twenty-five payline game introduces a number of innovative features that seriously enhance the playing experience, with realistic sound effects including crowd noises and impressive animations making casino gamers feel as if they are actually watching the luchadores fighting in a ring.

The object of the game is to obtain at least three identical icons on an active payline starting from the left, although Wild symbols can substitute any other non-Scatter icon. The payouts will depend on the number and type of symbols forming a winning combination, with all the values displayed in the game’s Paytable.

Guacamolio and Taco Malo wrestlers are stacked Wilds and they only appear on reel 3 during normal game. When one of these covers an entire reel, it will either double or payouts or duplicate itself onto at least one more reel. Wrestling Ring and Mask are the two Scatter icons and these symbols are used to unlock the two bonus rounds.

Even the main game options are depicted as various luchadores, which adds to the general appeal. Casino gamers can activate up to twenty five lines, whilst coin value can be anywhere from $0.01 to $1. Auto Play is supported, and speed of the reels can be adjusted using the button located in the bottom left hand corner.

Lucha Libre is one of just a handful of video slots that has no fewer than three game icons serving as highest-paying symbols, with bald wrestling commentator, championship belt and trophy all awarding 1,000 credits when five of these are found on an active line. In case one of the Stacked Wilds substitutes in said combination, the payout will be doubled.

Wrestlers aptly named Guacamolio and Taco Malo are the two fighters in the ring, whereas the remaining game icons include wrestling ring, luchadores mask, bald commentator, championship belt, trophy, fight poster, bottle of booze, TV set, chips with guacamole dip, wrestler stickers, red chili peppers and bottle of beer.

Three or more Wrestling Ring Scatters appearing in any position unlock Time to Rumble bonus. The player then gets to choose one of three moves to try and help his wrestler defeat his opponent and in turn receives up to 14 free games at x2 multiplier depending on his success. Mask Scatters are added to reels 1 and 2 during the feature. If Masks appear on reels 1 and 2 with three Wrestlers on reel 3, Mask of Fiery Doom feature is triggered. Random number of free games will be played where up to four reels are held with Mask Scatters in all positions.

April 2015 also saw the release of the HTML5 version that has been optimized for the best possible gaming experience on tablet and mobile. The only thing that is different when compared to the desktop game is the game options panel layout, whereas everything else is pretty much the same.
