Lucha Libre Slot Demo

You will get a lot of mashups in terms of the elements that make up a slot game. Many developers combine different ideas to create a game that nobody has seen before, which is never a bad thing.

RTG, the studio behind Lucha Libre, are experts when it comes to Mexican themed video slots. And we will see the best of their work once again here as Lucha Libre is the first instalment in a collection of games, something else they specialise in.

It’s essential to get all the elements in a slot game as near to perfect as possible, but there will always be stand out features, and in Lucha Libre, it’s definitely the theme and design, which we will come onto shortly. The 5×3 grid and 25 paylines is the standard approach, and that’s fine.

If you have spun the reels of any of RTG’s slot games before, you will know they consistently deliver fun, excitement, and the chance to walk away with excellent cash prizes. Anyway, onto the what Lucha Libre is all about.

Design & Theme

Many reading this review will have come across Lucha Libre before, but for those who haven’t, the game has a Mexican theme that combines with wrestling. Punters will immediately notice the wrestling ring behind the reels, and it’s like you’re there watching while enjoying drinks and snacks.

And, yes, you guessed it, they appear on the reels – tortilla chips and guacamole, chilli peppers, television sets, beer, tequila and more feature as icons to give the action the authentic Mexican flavour it warrants. The best way to describe the design is memorable, it will stick in your mind, and you will recognise it immediately on viewing.

Bonus Features

In a wrestling match, you will generally have two competitors, so it makes sense that Taco Malo and Guacamole, the stars of the show in Lucha Libre, are wild icons. If a punter needs them to substitute for other regular icons to complete wins, they will. But they can’t replace scatter symbols.

RTG doubled upon wilds, and they do the same with the scatters. The wrestling ring and mask are the symbols to watch for, as three or more will trigger the Time to Rumble bonus feature. There is also the Mask of Fiery Doom feature in Lucha Libre, too, with RTG continuing their decision to double up across the board.
