About Day Of The Dead

The reel artwork on Day of the Dead is perfect for this kind of slot machine. It combines the classic casino cartoon style with Mexican motifs, creating a very colourful and exciting range of visual excitement. Symbols include two types of Mexican party scene that both come to life when you hit them in winning combinations, giving you a quick burst of skeletal dancing, then it’s back to your spinning ways. All of this grid based business is set in a beautiful background that’s modeled on a richly decorated table at the Day of the Dead celebration.

One of the places where Day of the Dead Slot truly excels is in the audio department. We don’t know what’s happened to the IGT development team here, but they’ve really gone all out with their Mariarchi style music that plays all the way through the basic reel game. This really helps set the scene with its trumpets and guitars and there’s the occasionally bit of fill music that comes straight out of left-field to surprise you. This is one of the best games we’ve ever heard and we’ve got to tip our sombreros to the guys behind the noise on this title.

Day of the Dead uses IGT’s Multi-Way Xtra system in the base game. This is where you’ll not only get paid out for different combinations on the reels, but you’ll also get an additional multiplier for every permutation of the said combination you hit on a single spin. You’ll need to make a set 50 coin bet to activate this wager system. Wins run from left to right and right to left giving you an amazing 720 ways to win across the game’s hexagonal reel set. If you want more information on this innovative reel play system then check out our special Treasures of Troy review where we go into detail on how this system works.

The action on the Day of the Dead’s reels is supplemented with a couple of cool reel features. There’s the special stacks of wild symbols that can help you make up the big wins by complete large amounts of combinations in the base game. Strangely enough there’s also a floral skull scatter, which has the power to pay you a prize for a combination of three or more symbols in view anywhere on the grid, which seems like a shout back to the days of old school slots. Still all of this works incredibly well together to bring you a quality reel game.

Bonus Features

Stop in five bonus symbols on subsequent reels to get yourself into the Day of the Dead bonus round. You’ll be pleased to know that these special symbols come in stacks on the reels and you’ll get eight free spins for every combination you hit. This means you can get a maximum of 96 free spins to take with you into this bonus round. As with many popular IGT titles you get to take your free spins on a special second set of reels that are even more packed with stacked wilds and bonus symbols, giving you chances for big combination wins and re-triggers galore.

Day of the Dead Slot Machine

The slot uses 5 reels and a diamond-like hexagonal layout featuring a 3-4-5-4-3 row structure. Thanks to the MultiWay Xtra feature, players can make use of 720 ways to win and get paid for creating winning combos left to right and right to left as long as they land matching symbols on adjacent reels. The game offers three bonus symbols, Wild, Scatter and Bonus, depicted as coffin cakes in pastel colours, the sugar skull and lady skeleton respectively.

Wild will land on the reels 2, 3 and 4 to complete your winning combinations by replacing all regular symbols. The good news is that Wild can appear in stacks thus completing multiple winning combos at the same time. Sugar Skull Scatter only pays prizes and landing five of these anywhere on 5 adjacent reels will earn you 50 coins.

Last but not least, 5 Lady Bonus symbols anywhere on 5 consecutive reels trigger the free spins feature and award 50 coins on top. The feature awards 8 free spins but if you manage to trigger it with more Scatter combinations, you can win up to 96 free games initially. Free spins can be retriggered the same way and you can play up to 240 free turns during the feature. Another set of the reels is used during free games, but all the symbols and payouts remain the same.

The top paying symbol is the Day of the Dead logo and placing 5 of these on adjacent reels will earn you 1,000 coins. Mariachi skeletons and pairs of skeletons award 400 and 300 coins for five of a kind respectively. Once you score a big win, mariachi skeletons will appear on the reels to celebrate your gain with you, which contributes to the overall festive atmosphere of the game.

This is one of our favourite IGT slot thanks to its colourful graphics, smooth animations and an entertaining music score playing in the background throughout the game. If you are not familiar with the Dead of the Day, you should know that it is a Mexican national holiday celebrated in honour of family members who passed away. Its imagery and symbols come in vibrant colours which may come as a bit odd given that it is dedicated to deceased people, but it is a playful holiday with lots of food and mariachi music.

Some of the symbols related to the Day of the Dead have become popular worldwide thanks to their vivid colours and ornate decorations. They include sugar skulls, or so called 'Calaveras', with La Calavera Catrina, the representation of a lady skeleton, being the most popular among them. This symbol stands for Bonus in the video slot we are talking about. The reels are set on an altar with marigolds and candles which are also part of holiday decorations.

When it comes to downsides to the Day of the Dead slot, we have to say that we are not very happy to learn that Wilds appear only on the central reels and that you need 5 Scatter or Bonus symbols to win a prize of trigger the free spins feature. It takes time to get all these symbols on the reels, so you better prepare to invest some money in the gameplay until you unlock the bonus game. After all, the game comes with an RTP between 94.91% and 95.52%, so give it a try and see for yourself.
