Luchamigos

The Luchamigos slot by Play’n GO is a brand-new chilli-infused luchador wrestling slot centred around Mexican culture. As always, Play’n GO has brought their A-game when it comes to visuals. The three main characters, the Hot Amigo luchadors, are charismatic and quite entertaining to watch. Furthermore, each of them has a special ability to bring to the reels.

They can create extra wilds, stacked symbols, and more. Furthermore, the free spins mode in this game is quite explosive. You can win up to 10.000x your bet with an average RTP value of 96.00%. With all the chilli eating and wrestling around you would expect the volatility to be high but it is set to medium. Let us dive deeper into the wrestling ring and analyse this game through our Luchamigos slot review.

First off, when you launch the Luchamigos slot by Play’n GO you can watch the amusing and light-hearted cinematic of the three amigos. Then you will notice the wrestling ring background and reels populated with beautiful symbols.

Place a bet, spin the reels, and let the magic happen. The game is played on a 5-reel board with 4 rows. There are no fixed paylines but 1024 different winning ways instead. You score a win by arranging at least 3 identical symbols on consecutive reels from left to right. As long as the reels are adjacent the vertical position of the symbols does not matter and multiple ways are combined.

The most common symbols you’ll see are the 8 regular paying symbols. The 4 low-wins appear as standard card symbols. However, the exciting 4 high-win symbols appear as the wrestling attire of a luchador. There are also different wilds that substitute for all symbols except the chilli symbol. The three amigos will also appear from time to time in the bonus game with special abilities but more on them later.

When it comes to payouts and betting options in this game, things are pretty standard. There are no buy features or ante bets so all you have is the standard wager. It includes placing a stake of $0.1 up to $100 which will get you a maximum win of 10.000x the bet. Luchamigos RTP values clock at 96.00% with medium volatility. This means that you will see a balanced amount of winning frequencies and low to high payouts.

Furthermore, the payouts for the regular symbols are not the highest in the current industry. Low wins will get you a max of 0.5x the bet for 5 of them in a winning way. High wins go up to 12x the bet for the same combination. That said, you quite often score multiple winning ways per spin and the extra features in the base game slightly compensate for the lower payouts.

The extra mechanics and bonuses in Luchamigos are quite exciting. The game revolves around the three luchadors amigos and the chilli spins. Let us cover each mechanic one by one:

• Wilds, Amigos, and Chillis – The two main extra symbols of the game are the amigo wilds and the power chilli. Amigo wilds act as regular wilds and power chillis trigger free spins when three are landed. However, if they land together, the amigos will eat the chilli and trigger one of their bonus features based on which of the three amigos is selected at random.
• Gran Chico (Red) – When Gran Chico eats the chilli he upgrades into Hot Amigo and creates a 2×2 stacked wild on the board.
• Roco Elastico (Green) – Upon eating the chilli, Roco will create a full reel of wilds on a random reel on the board.
• Muchos Salvajes (Blue) – Muchos will add 4 wilds to random positions on the board when he eats the chilli.
• Power Chilli Spins – Power chillis appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 and trigger 7 free spins when 3 are landed as we mentioned. The three amigo features can activate on any spin during free spins without the power chilli symbol. They also fill the Chilli Meter the adds additional free spins. Reaching fire icons on the meter triggers guaranteed wins and amigo features.
• Ultimate Hot Spin – After completing the Chilli Meter in free spins, an ultimate spin will trigger after the free spins are over. This feature awards a guaranteed win and activates a random boosted version of the amigo features.

As you can see, things can get pretty hectic during luchador matches, especially when power chillis are involved.
