Nacho Libre Slot Machine
It’s clear from the opening screen that this slot has immediate comedy value. You’ll see a wrestling ring featuring one particularly large competitor dressed in all black, facing a tall, thin looking man – it is clear there is only going to be one outcome. Welcome to Nacho Libre, the wrestling based slot from iSoftbet! The gameplay has a very different feel to your average game, this due to many of the symbols being the length of an entire reel. This slot features a free spins round where you’ll choose how the round is played out and a Jackpot pay out.
The reels are set against the backdrop of the wrestling ring seen in the opening. The standout symbols on the reels are the five featured wrestlers in the game (the full length symbols) – these being Dynasty, Sage, Esqueleto, Rosales, Ramses. These all wear various masks and brightly coloured spandex, all except Ramses who looks like the poor relation, wearing just a pair of shorts. All five stand against a bright background, making them stand out even more. The wrestlers are joined by the playing card symbols from 10 to Ace, each of these also featuring a much smaller image of a wrestler. Whilst playing you hear the background noise of the wrestling crowd and a rather deep voice exclaiming the name of any wrestler who should encompass a whole reel when the spin comes to a stop.
Setup and Play for Nacho Libre Slot
This slot has something of a standard five reels, but a much fewer than usual ten win lines. Perhaps because this number is so low, you’ll not have an option to play fewer, with all ten in play on every spin. You’ll choose both your coin value and the line bet amount (of between 1 and 10) to set your total stake for the spin.
You’ll win at this slot by landing at least either two or three consecutive symbols from left to right on a win line. Ramses, Sage and Rosales are the three symbols who pay out for just two in a row or more and also offer the biggest wins, with 1,000 coins, 750 coins and 750 coins awarded for five in a row of each respective symbol. Dynasty and Esqueleto are both worth 250 coins for landing a full house, while the playing card symbols are the lowest paying in the game.
Wild symbols are the red bell that rings at the end of each round and this will replace any other symbol apart from the scatter. There is an added advantage when gaining a win with the wild as there is a 2x multiplier attached to any wins.
The biggest win at the entire slot is 5,000 coins and this can be won directly on the reels. This amount is won if you land each of the five wrestlers in their entirety on the reels. They can be in any order, as long as all five are there.
The scatter symbol is the title symbol and should this appear three or more times across the reels, the free spins feature is activated.
Nacho Libre Slot Free Spins Round
Having landed the feature you are given an immediate choice. Your first option is 15 free spins where the wild symbol will expand to cover the whole reel. Your second option is 10 spins with a standard wild – the key difference here being that all wins are subject to a 3x multiplier.
Having a choice when it comes to a free spins round is a nice touch and certainly makes you feel more involved in the feature, whereas you’ll usually just be given a set amount of spins.
Having landed the feature you’ll gain an immediate cash win, which increases depending upon the number of scatter symbols you landed.
Nacho Libre Slot Conclusion
This slot by iSoftbet certainly catches the eye. The oversized symbols give the slot a slightly unique feel and the mix of characters certainly brings a smile to your face – especially when the commentator continually pronounces their names in that deep voice of his. The features at the slot are good too – the combination of the interactive free spins round and the Jackpot win making for a good game overall. Whether this slot would make any top ten lists is open to question, but this will keep you entertained nicely for the occasional half an hour.
