The Day of the Dead—because apparently, just dying once isn’t festive enough. Who needs quiet remembrance when you can dress up skeletons like they’re ready to party in Vegas and eat enough sugar skulls to give even the dead diabetes? It’s the only holiday where you spend an entire day throwing a fiesta for your ancestors, hoping they pop by for some tequila shots and to silently judge your life choices—no, Granny, I’m still not married, but thanks for the haunting reminder!

Fortunately, there’s no risk of granny’s judgmental face popping up when you play the Day of Muerte slot from Onlyplay.

Are you ready to party?

The Day of Muerte slot features five paylines spread across three reels. It includes two high-paying symbols, two medium-paying symbols, and three low-paying symbols. The slot also features a wild symbol that will substitute for all other symbols to complete winning combinations. However, the wild symbol will not substitute for bonus symbols to trigger the slot’s bonus game.

A round of the bonus game is triggered when at least one bonus symbol appears on each of the three reels. Bonus symbols include the granny frame, instant win symbols, and jackpot symbols. 

At the start of the bonus round, the symbols that triggered it will be locked in place. You’ll receive three respins to add more bonus symbols to the reels, and if successful, the respin count resets. If you go three spins without landing a new symbol, the round ends and all values are totaled for your prize.

Is Day of Muerte Just Beating a Dead Piñata?

Betting on the Day or Muerte slot starts from $0.50 a spin and tops out at $50 a spin. If you’re betting at that $50-a-spin maximum, you have a chance to win up to $205,150 thanks to the 4,103x max multiplier. The slot offers medium volatility, which provides a balanced gameplay experience with a mix of smaller frequent wins and occasional larger payouts. The slot features an RTP of 95%.

The Day of Muerte slot falls into the increasingly overcrowded category of Day of the Dead-themed slot games. While the theme is visually appealing, it’s hard to ignore just how many slots have already trodden this path. To make matters worse, the inclusion of a standard Hold and Win feature as the only bonus doesn’t exactly scream creativity. Overall, while it’s not a bad slot, it doesn’t do much to stand out from the crowd. I give the Day of Muerte slot a solid but uninspired 6 out of 10.
