Celebrate Día de los Muertos with the Esqueleto Explosivo 3 Slot
The Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) is that time of year when you throw a party, and all your dead relatives decide to drop in—literally. Forget spooky vibes; this is all about sugar skulls, marigolds, and setting up altars with enough food to make your grandma’s ghost proud (or give her a reason to haunt you if you screw it up). Families hit up cemeteries, crack jokes, share memories, and basically try to bribe the spirits into sticking around for a laugh or two before they vanish back to the afterlife—no Ouija board required.
While the release of Día de los Muertos might get lost in the noise of Halloween spookiness, they are most certainly different holidays. So, the release of the Esqueleto Explosivo 3 slot from Thunderkick is for the 2 November Day of the Dead and not Halloween on 31 October.
The dead come out to play!
The Esqueleto Explosivo 3 slot features a cascading reels mechanic that will remove symbols involved in a winning combination allowing new symbols to fall into the empty spots. If another winning combination is completed, the process starts again and will continue to cycle until no new winning combinations are formed.
In addition to substituting for other symbols to complete winning combinations, the slot’s wild symbol will also explode from time to time, removing lower-paying symbols in a 3×3 area around it. This explosive action enhances your chances of landing better payouts.
A unique element of the game is the Mucho Multiplier, which is prominently displayed beneath the game grid during both the base game and during free spins. Each time a cascade is triggered, this multiplier doubles in value. In the base game, the multiplier follows a progression of 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, and 32x. However, in the bonus game, it can soar up to a staggering 1,024x. It’s important to note that the Mucho Multiplier resets at the end of each spin, no matter whether you’re in the base or enjoying a round of free spins.
The slot’s free spins feature is triggered with three or more scatter symbols. If you land three scatters, you are awarded ten free spins. Each additional scatter used to unlock the feature will add another 2 free spins to your total. During a round of free spins, explosive wilds that land are collected in a meter, and filling the meter grants one extra free spin. However, once the meter is filled 5 times, no further wilds can be collected or extra free spins awarded.
Is Esqueleto Explosivo 3 losing more than just its heads?
Esqueleto Explosivo 3 is a high-volatility slot that offers players the chance to win up to $150,000 with a maximum multiplier of 7,500x. The game caters to a wide range of betting preferences, with bet limits ranging from $0.10 to $20 per spin. The slot features an RTP of 94.22%.
The first Esqueleto Explosivo slot was released way back in 2015. Esqueleto Explosivo 2 followed in 2020 and Esqueleto Explosivo 2 Reborn in 2022. Now, in 2024, we get the Esqueleto Explosivo 3 slot, the fourth game in the franchise.
To be honest, the slot really hasn’t changed all that much, certainly not in its appearance or in its animations. Even the background music is exactly the same. The Esqueleto Explosivo 3 slot is the most different in the franchise with five rows instead of just three, but that’s really about it. Is that a problem? No! The slot’s great, it always has been. the refreshes that Thunderkick releases every few years really just reintroduce me to the game and how great it is. As a result, I think the Esqueleto Explosivo 3 slot is a great addition. I give it a nine out of ten.
If you’re looking for a few other Thunderkick slots that I would recommend, try out Xterminate and Pink Elephants 2.
