Cuba Caliente Bonus Features

Wild Symbol 

The wild symbol in the game works much the same as it does in other slots, substituting in for all other symbols apart from the scatter to potentially create more wins. However, the wild also has some added extras in Cuba Caliente. The central reel is classed as the wild reel and wilds will land stacked on this which helps you land payouts more easily. All wild symbols come with multipliers and the amount you get is determined at random. The spinners that land on the wilds can give you a 2x, 3x or 4x multiplier, or it will just be a regular wild. A win formed with a symbol that includes a multiplier will be multiplied by the total shown on the wild symbol. 

Free Spins 

Landing three or more of the Cuban car scatter symbols on the reels will trigger the free spins round. You get ten free spins which will play out immediately at the same number of paylines and the bet amount that you had set when the round was triggered. The sad part is that you can’t retrigger the free spins round, so you have to return to the base game in hopes of getting some more free spins. 

Conclusion 

Cuba Caliente is one of those slots that’s fun to play, even though you know you’re not going to get a big win. The soundtrack is catchy and matches the atmosphere. Make sure to play the game for free first so that you can get used to how the multipliers and free spins work, along with that third wild reel. The downsides of the game is the low RTP and the fact that you cannot retrigger the free spins round.
