Dia Del Mariachi Megaways Slot Information

Dia Del Mariachi means “The day of the Mariachi,” which is celebrated on January 21. With such a musical theme, All41Studios has put a lot of effort into creating an excellent theme song in the base game that picks up the tempo and becomes more intense in the free spins. A full orchestra with guitars, trumpets, and many other instruments accompanies the player. There are no lyrics, though, so it’s up to the player to sing.

We are in a colorful Mexican barrio with apartment buildings in green, red, white, and other colors. In the far back are some green hills and a blue sky. The game’s logo is at the top left corner, and below it is the four Jackpots listed. All buttons are located to the right, and the reels are at the center of the screen. The grid has 6 reels and a changing number of rows, changing the size of the symbols in every spin. Above reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 is a horizontal reel that spins simultaneously as the other reels, and the symbols are added to the regular reels below. There can be 7 positions on each reel, making up to 117649 ways to win. To land a win, the player needs at least 3 of the same symbols on adjacent lines, starting with the first reel to the left. The game can be played on all devices: desktop, notepad, and mobile phone.

The lower-paying symbols in this Mexican street party are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. They pay 1X-1.50X the bet for a combination of 6. The higher paying symbols are maracas, trumpet, violin, and guitar. Landing 6 of those will give you between 2X to 50X the bet. The Wild Symbol substitutes all mentioned symbols, but not the Scatter Symbol or the Special Symbols. The special symbols are piñata, firecracker, rocket, and wheel.

Dia Del Mariachi Megaways Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Dia Del Mariachi Megaways?

You can win up to 12000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Dia Del Mariachi Megaways?

The features are Cascading Wins, Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, Special Symbols, Bonus Wheel Jackpot Feature, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Cascading Wins

Any player familiar with the Megaways mechanic knows that there’s a chance to score several wins within one spin. All symbols that are included in a win disappear from the grid while new symbols fall in from above. If there’s a new win, the affected symbols will also disappear and new ones will rain over this Mexican neighborhood. The cascading win is over when no more wins are being made.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol is depicted by a W, and it substitutes for all regular symbols, but not the Scatter Symbol or the special symbols. Wilds can only land on the extra reel above reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, but they can also appear on other grid positions with help from the firecracker and the rocket symbol.

Scatter Symbols

The Scatter Symbol is golden and has a picture of a sombrero. You need to land 4 scatter symbols anywhere to activate the free spins, and any extra scatter symbol gives you 2 extra free spins. Landing 4 scatter symbols during the free spins awards 10 additional spins. The scatter symbol appears anywhere except on the extra reel.

Special Symbols

The Special Symbols can only land on the extra reel in the top. They all work miracles, but they need to be activated by one of the sombreros hanging above. Each of the four positions on the extra grid has a sombrero above it, which randomly lights up on some spins, activating the special symbols. All four sombreros are constantly activated during the free spins, making the special symbols work extra hard. The four special symbols are Piñata, Firecracker, Rocket, and Bonus Wheel.  

Piñata = Whenever the piñata lands, the player is awarded a cash prize of 2X, 3X, 5X, or 10X the bet.

Firecracker Symbol = This flammable little piece explodes and turns all symbols on the reel below into wild symbols. There’s one exception, though; scatter symbols stay the same.

Rocket Symbol = Shoots itself onto the grid, transforming up to 3 symbols into wilds. The rocket can transform symbols on any position on reels 2-6, but it doesn’t transform scatter, wild, or special symbols.

Bonus Wheel = Landing this wheel triggers the Bonus Wheel Jackpot Feature.

Bonus Wheel Jackpot Feature

This feature launches a Bonus Wheel with a guaranteed win of one of the four jackpots. The wheel will give the player any of these prizes:

Mini Jackpot = 15X the bet

Minor Jackpot = 50X the bet

Major Jackpot = 500X the bet

Mega Jackpot = 10000X the bet

The feature is over after one spin, and one of the jackpots has been paid out.

Free Spins

Four Scatter Symbols bring you here with ten fresh free spins, and every extra scatter will give you two additional spins. If you land 4 symbols during the spins, you’ll be awarded an additional 10 spins. The sombreros are always active in the free spins, meaning that the special symbols automatically activate when they land. The feature is over when the player runs out of spins.

Bonus Buy

For 80X the bet, you can buy yourself a spin that is guaranteed to trigger the free spins. The feature is played exactly the same as when activated the regular way.

Dia Del Mariachi Megaways Slot Conclusion

All41Studios invites us to a proper street party with mariachis playing full-on. The game looks good, and the music is rich and well-made. Anyone who has played Black Gold 2 Megaways, Moriarty Megaways, or another of the wide variety of Megaways games will be familiar with the cascading wins and the changing number of rows and ways to win. We can see why the mechanic first developed by Big Time Gaming has been so popular and now incorporated by many game developers. The exploding cascading wins work well in this game, and the wins are pretty frequent. Just as with the other Megaways games are the wins sometimes ridiculously small, but it probably has to be that way when there are so many ways to win.

The special symbols and their abilities are a fresh blow through the Mexican neighborhood. It is kind of annoying that they don’t activate more often in the base game, though. While in the free spins, the player can expect constant action from rockets shooting themself onto the grid and firecrackers blowing up symbols and replacing them with wilds. It sure adds extra excitement to the game, and the adrenaline rises, even more when the music picks up its tempo. Of course, the Bonus Wheel containing a 10000X Jackpot is another amazing feature. We had to spin the reels for a ridiculously long time to activate the feature, but it might just have been that we were unlucky. We can’t know for sure since All41Studios hasn’t announced the hit frequency for the features.

Speaking of numbers, the RTP of 96.42% is considered good, quite above the average slot game. The max win of 12000X the bet is also considered good for a game with high volatility. Don’t forget that we also have the Mega Jackpot, paying 10000X the bet.

Dia Del Mariachi from All41Studios is a musical party with Mexican musicians accompanying the player through exploding firecrackers, shooting rockets, and a Jackpot Bonus Wheel paying 10000X the bet.
