Grim Muerto

The festivity called Dia de Muertos is approaching and Play ‘N Go will give gamers the opportunity to learn the customs of one of the most important Mexican holiday by playing their new product called Grim Muerto.

Day of the Dead is dedicated to the deceased members of family and friends and this celebration is meant to provide support for those who passed away on their spiritual journey by building improvised altars and offering their favourite food and drinks.

Four mariachis are in charge of the music and high value prizes in this slot, which is set on one of those traditional altars.

Thanks to a number of special features like extra Wilds, Wild reels, free spins and the second chance, gamers will most certainly enjoy this five-reel slot with 20 fixed paylines.

Developer

Even though Play ‘N Go was founded in 1997, the company started working independently in 2004. Play ‘N Go is one of the first online gaming solutions providers that entered the mobile arena, enabling gamers to enjoy their favourite online games on mobile devices without worrying about downloading games.

Furthermore, their creations support full HD, making them look sharp and appealing. Such a way of doing business earned them a Mobile Product of the Year award from IGA in 2015.

How To Play It

Even though this festivity is dedicated to the departed, it’s all about music, celebration and fun, thanks to the colourful reels, joyful soundtrack and interesting additional features. Apart from being in charge of music, the four skeleton mariachis are also the high value symbols in the 2016 release.

Gamers will be entertained by four different mariachis: the Red Mariachi, who plays a guitar, the Blue Mariachi with a trumpet, the Green Mariachi that plays a violin, and the Violet Mariachi playing an accordion. Low value symbol are presented through playing cards icons.

The Book of the Dead is the Scatter that appears during base game, while the Candle Scatter appears during free spins. The Guitarron Wild serves as a substitute for all symbols except Scatters.

Rules of the Grim Muerto slot are simple as 1, 2, 3. This five-reel slot offers 20 fixed paylines with the option to set the number of coins per payline, going from 1 to 5, and the option to alter the coin value from $0.01 to $1.

This means that the minimum bet you can place is $20m while the maximum possible wager is $100. Play ‘N Go made it simpler for players to form a winning combination, since you only need two matching symbols on an active payline starting from the leftmost reel.

Special Features

Thanks to the Marco Siniestro feature, you will get a randomly selected highlighted reel in every spin. If a Wild symbol is landed on the highlighted reel, you will win an expanding Wild that covers the entire reel and makes more possibilities for landing winning combinations.

The Book of the Dead Scatter can appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 and once you land three Scatters you will trigger the Free Spin mode that will award you with 10 free spins.

During freebies you will have a new and improved Marco Siniestro feature that will highlight from two to all five reels, while one randomly selected mariachi will turn into an extra Wild.

Candle Scatters appear during this bonus round and once you land three of them, you will retrigger the Free Spin feature, earning another 10 freebies. If you land two Candle Scatters, you can win 3 or 6 new free spins.

Not many slots will give you a second chance, but, fortunately, this is not the case with Grim Muerto. If you land only 2 Book Scatters during base game, you will enter the Second Chance feature, which is basically a card game where you get to pick one of four offered mariachi cards.

A chosen card could unveil the missing Scatter and award you with free spins, or it can unveil a cash prize, or, if you do not have Lady Luck on your side, it will unveil nothing.

Maximum Payouts

Apart from serving as a Wild, the Guitarron is the highest paying symbol in the base game, offering 1,000 coins for five of a kind.

Free Spins feature is where you can win rewarding payouts, due to the fact that you get an improved Marco Siniestro feature, more highlighted reels, more expanding Wilds and extra Wilds. The maximum payout you can expect after a single spin cannot go over 2,500 times the initial bet.

Summary

Thanks to its wide betting range, the 2016 release will most certainly attract both penny punters and high rollers.

Action junkies will be more than pleased with the number of additional features offered, while, due to the fact that you only need two of a kind to start landing payouts, winning combinations will occur more frequently, but they will not be as high as the initial bet.

Free Spins feature is where you can expect some serious cash, with all the highlighted reels, expanding Wilds and extra Wilds.

When it comes to the overall visual appearance, you can count on interesting visuals and joyful soundtrack that will make your playtime more enjoyable.
