Day of the Dead Slot Machine

Don’t be fooled by it’s somber title – Day of the Dead is a traditional Mexican celebration aimed at gathering friends and family to assist loved ones, who have passed away, in their spiritual journey. Dancing, laughing, marigolds, sweetness and skulls are all on order for the day and this is reflected in IGT’s Day of the Dead. Full of vivid colors and catchy background music, this game pays tribute to this internationally recognized festival with its cheerfulness and charm. The unusual hexagonal shape of the reels provides the player with 720 ways to earn, with winning combinations from left to right or right to left.

Traditional Day of the Dead necessities are represented on the reels and a lively mariachi tune keeps the player in a fiesta state of mind. It is suspected that homage is paid to La Calavera Catrina (Lady of the Dead) in the form of the beguiling bonus symbol. While there aren’t a staggering amount of features in the game, it will certainly bring out the fun side of every player.

This allows for combinatons to be won from left to right or from right to left, increasing the player’s chance of winning big.The RTP is 92.52%, which, while not in the higher percentages, is still not a figure to be sneezed at. Dancing or instrument-playing skeletons are also a common feature in this game so keep an eye out for them if you’re in the mood for a good laugh.

Summary

The general consensus is that this game pays out small amounts constantly. The unusual shape and right to left or left to right combos allow for a player to trigger free spins fairly often. There is no progressive jackpot, nor is there quickspin. However, you are guaranteed to have fun playing this game with its comical animations and feet-tapping music.

One is transported to Mexico, with the scent of marigolds in the air, candied sweetness on the tongue, joining in lilting laughter and making merry with the mariachi band. With no complicated features, the beauty of the game lies in its simplicity as well as its entertainment value.
