Online gambling games developer Wazdan announced Thursday that its much-anticipated major game Los Muertos has been released.
The theme is based on one of the most bizarre festival holidays in the world – Mexico’s Dia de los Muertos, famous for celebrating the dead with its unique atmosphere, colourful decorations, strange costumes and joyful parades.
With the reels of the base game set in a gloomy cemetery at midnight, Los Muertos has a 5 reels, 40 pay-lines format and several attractive special features including Big and Giant symbols, Giant Wilds, Free Spins, Bonus Slot mini-game, Multipliers and a special graveyard-themed gamble game.
Graphically, the game is endowed with smooth animations and symbols of colourful sugar skulls and characters with painted faces.
To launch the Free Spins feature, or get free cash, players have to catch the Bonus Symbol in the shape of a beautiful lady with a spectacular headdress of red roses. Then, the Bonus Slot mini-game is activated, where up to 9 symbols are spinning individually. White, Pink and Red Roses reveal cash prizes with 1x, 3x and 5x multipliers respectively. A mariachi wearing a sombrero gives Free Spins and it is possible for players to get on the edge of their seats racking up to 12 extra spins.
During the Free Spins, the game’s action moves to a quiet street in a Mexican city during the Day of the Dead. Here, players are cheered-up by a friendly man wearing a sombrero and a beautiful senorita wearing a stunning red dress. Giant Wild symbol is represented by the image of a smiling man which appears only during the Free Spins feature. This icon can substitute for all other symbols, so it is easier to complete winning combinations.
Each win can be multiplied in the extraordinary Unique Gamble Feature where the players task is to pick one of the mysterious figures standing with their backs turned toward the player and waiting for their move. If players guess correctly and choose either the beautiful woman or the man, players double their prize, but if the stranger turns out to be a skeleton, they lose it.
Los Muertos includes the now standard Wazdan game utilities of Volatility Levels, Double Screen Mode, and Energy Saving Mode.
Head of Sales at Wazdan Andrzej Hyla said Thursday: “This is one of our biggest releases this year and we believe it’s an important release for the slots industry. We are firmly on a path to creating a new kind of slots experience, and we were very keen to ensure that players take advantage of the Volatility Levels function as part of their immersion in this game.”
