Skulls Gone Wild is one macabre edition coming from NetGaming in March 2021. Inspired with the Mexican celebration Day of the Dead when all who are deceased are remembered and revered, this game is highly animated, with meticulous visuals and thundering mariachi musical score. Opportunities to win up to 62,500 coins are aplenty, so take advantage from Wild Substitutions, the Symbol Upgrade System and a Respin Feature. The game’s RTP is set an excellent 96.42%.
Skulls Gone Wild has a classic 5-reel, 3-row grid offering 10 fixed paylines, on which players can wager from a mere $0.10 to $25.00. To configure bet values one must adjust the coin denomination going from $0.01 and up to $2.50. To award payouts the game must yield a combo of at least 3 identical symbols consecutive payline positions, starting both from left to right and right to left. Clicking Spin initiates the game, while opting for Autoplay has the reels whirling automatically.
All symbols occupying the reels are theme-related and make us feel the festive atmosphere of the unusual holiday. A Guitar, Marigolds, a Sombrero and a Cat Mask are on the lower part of the Paytable each delivering 50 coins when 5 form a win. Four Skulls with different adornments on them stand for high-value symbols that award 200 and 250 coins for 5 of a kind. Wild can take the place of any other symbol when completing winning combinations. Unfortunately, there’s no Scatter, hence no Free Spins Round.
During main game whenever you score a win, the Respin Feature will be activated. For as long as there are wins, the Respin Feature will continue. Besides offering free chances for wins, the Respin can also result in the Symbol Upgrade Feature. For every Respin one Skull is chosen and the upgrade is applied. Two versions are possible: all matching icons on the grid are transformed into Wilds or if identical symbols are in the same row, all icons between them turn into that symbol. The third option is for the chosen Skull to deliver a 5x Multiplier to the win in which it takes part.
Though there is no Free Spins Round to bring us opportunities to score massive wins, the Symbol Upgrade System strives to introduce a change and make up for the lack of the bonus we’re so fond of. As for its availability, this game can be played on any device you like, desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
