Sugar Skulls Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Booming Games have put together a good looking slot in Sugar Skulls with a potentially packed free spins feature. You can land base game wins over the 20 paylines but you’ll be on the lookout for the Free Spins scatter to trigger 10 Major free spins with only wilds and stacked high paying symbols.

There are two other symbols to look out for - the brightly coloured wild symbol that replaces every other symbol except the scatter, and the star shaped pinata that bursts and showers you with random Fiesta Awards.

Apart from the special symbols the paytable is evenly split between 4 high paying sugar skull symbols and 4 royals from J to A.

In terms of gameplay, this is a classic with a twist and the features work well together to deliver the potential for wins up to 1,000x your stake. Land matching symbols on a payline to score base game wins up to 50x.

Two versions of this slot exist and we recommend playing in bonus mode to get the hang of the volatility and hit rate. The gorgeous graphics also look great on mobile and tablet.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Booming Games take on the popular Day of the Dead theme is an interesting mashup of traditional iconography with a steampunk twist.

So we have sugar skulls sporting goggles and clock gear decorations, and royals decked out in clockwork. It’s very effective and contrasts with the traditional decorations in the background.

Dia de los Muertos is celebrated on 2 November every year when Mexicans celebrate the dead. With its rich history and traditions and tasty dishes, the most ubiquitous symbol is the calavera or sugar skull.

The slightly mournful guitar soundtrack is also a big plus and the team behind this free Booming Games slots game has done a great job of capturing the spirit of the celebrations.

RTP & Volatility

The fact that this game has low volatility and a 95.93% RTP will appeal to most players, especially those who prefer a more casual gaming experience.

The right combination of symbols could net you a 1,000x multiplier top win but even in this low volatility slot that’s a tough ask. The random Fiesta Pinata awards players up to 100x their stake but is purely dependent on luck.

Overall Review: Our Verdict

Sugar Skulls is a really beautiful game with some good features that produce entertaining gameplay.

The free spins are the main attraction, although the presence on the reels of only wilds and stacked high paying symbols is no guarantee of a big win. The Pinata can also award you with a 100x multiplier, but it’s elusive.

If you like the theme try the Esqueleto Explosivo free play slot from Thunderkick with cascading wins and a progressive multiplier.
