Thunderkick is once again taking its players to an unusual adventure inspired by the Mexican holiday called Dia de Los Muertos. Following the success of the original game, launched back in 2014, the developer brings the sequel titled Esqueleto Explosivo 2. This 5-reel game comes with stunning visuals, entertaining experience, while the luckiest among players can look forward to claiming prizes of up to 5,000x their stake. Playable from a mere $0.10 bet, this January 2020 game comes with several potentially rewarding in-game features such as Dropping symbols, Wilds, Scatters, Free Spins, and multipliers.
The newly-launched game looks very similar to the original, with the transparent reels set against a Mexican street. Esqueleto Explosivo 2 comes with the Connecting Pay Ways game engine, which means that winning combinations are formed by landing 3 or more matching symbols in consecution from the leftmost reel. This Thunderkick release features a 5x3 layout with a total of 99 paylines on offer. When it comes to wagering, it starts at $0.10, while the maximum stake is set at $100 per spin. Like in other Thunderkick games, players will have 14 different values to choose from.
The original release boasted stunning visuals, while punters can expect even better graphics in the sequel. Once the reels start spinning, you‘ll encounter vibrantly-coloured skulls - cyan, orange, blue, green, pink, and purple ones, with the latter being the highest-paying regular symbol, awarding a payout of 5x the bet for all 5 in a winning combination. Wild will appear only on the three middle reels, replacing all other symbols except for Scatter. As usual, the Scatter symbol will be used to trigger the game‘s Free Spins bonus round.
The Dropping mechanic will see winning symbols explode, with new ones dropping into the empty places. This can lead to new combinations being formed, but will also increase the size of the multiplier by 1, while its maximum value can go all the way up to 32x!
Wilds can also increase the size of the multiplier, as this symbol can both replace and destroy the icon on the grid.
Unlike its predecessor, Esqueleto Explosivo 2 comes with a Free Spins bonus round, which represents a nice addition to the game. To trigger it is easy: simply land at least 3 Scatters, and you’ll receive up to 14 spins. Landing additional Scatter while the feature is active will add more spins to the count.
Wilds can add more spins to your count as well, but it can also take the lowest-value multiplier from the play. In practice, this means that the multiplier will reset to a higher value.
Esqueleto Explosivo 2 is very similar to the original game, although many important differences set them apart. In addition to a higher RTP, more paylines, and higher volatility, the sequel features a Free Spins bonus round. Thanks to this feature, players can expect bigger wins - especially as multipliers can be further increased to 64x! With a bit of luck, you can claim prizes worth up to 5,000x your wager on every spin!
