The Grim Muerto video slot is based around an undead mariachi band made up a few members who have come back for the Day of the Dead and to provide you with different sources of value on the reels. This game's graphics are definitely up there with what players would expect from Play N Go, but it doesn't have the gaudy 3D graphics that you see sometimes with other providers. Overall, this is a feature-packed game with chances for some pretty serious payouts thanks to the free spin features and generous pay table.
Game Format
This slot uses a pretty typical format with 20 paylines across five reels and three rows. Betting has been set up to be as easy and intuitive as possible with lots of options for customizing your total wager per spin to get it down to exactly what you want, or at least pretty close to what will work for your bankroll. This is achieved by giving players coin sizes to choose from that range from $0.01 to $1 apiece, with many denominations, and the ability to bet anywhere from one to five coins per payline.
Highlighted Reels
When you sit down to play, one of the first things you'll notice is that the background of a random reel will be golden. We want to explain that right away so that there is no confusion. If you get a wild symbol on the golden reel, then it will expand to cover all three spots on that reel. This is especially relevant in the free spins feature when you will get two or more golden reels on each spin, which obviously adds a lot of value.
Free Spins Features
Get three or more of the purple book with a skull on it as a scatter to activate a set of 10 free spins. Additionally, you can get candles during the bonus feature to add even more spins with one or two candles anywhere on the reels activating three or six more free spins, respectively. On top of that, one of the four mariachi symbols becomes an extra wild, and this is in addition to the extra golden reels. It's clear that a whole lot of value is wrapped up in this free spins bonus round, and that adds a bit of volatility to the game.
Second Chance Feature,/h2>
If you get two of the scattered books on the reels, you'll have a second chance feature appear at the end of your spin. The way this works is that the four mariachi symbols show up, and you can either get a third book to activate the feature, you can win some coins or you can end up with nothing. It just depends on how lucky you are with your pick. This is a cool type of feature that we can't remember having seen before, and it just goes to show that Play N Go is looking out for the players in terms of extra little ways to add value to the game.
Biggest Wins
The golden guitar symbol is the wild symbol in this game, and a 1,000x win is yours when you line up five of a kind. You can also take down 700x for five of the red mariachi or 500x for five of the blue one. The green mariachi pays 400x for five of a kind, and a payout of 350x is your reward for picking up five of the purple. All five of these symbols pay for as few as two of a kind, which helps to increase the hit-rate and lower the overall volatility of the game.
The rest of the pays are based on the A, K, Q, J and 10 symbols. The red A, cyan K and purple Q all pay 100x for five of a kind. Along similar lines, the green J and blue 10 both pay 75x for five of a kind. All three of these minor symbols require a win of three of a kind or more for a payout.
Overview
Grim Muerto is a good example of a game that uses an atypical theme as the source of gameplay and features instead of just using it as a source for the graphical inspiration. We prefer this approach because it gives more in-depth gameplay and a more cohesive experience for the player overall. Play N Go is really good about using this approach in their games, and it's one of the reasons why they've picked up so much support from players in the time they've been open. Overall, we think this is a slot that all different types of players will get a lot out of.
