La Cucaracha Slots
La Cucaracha is a silly and fun new bonus slot game from Wager Gaming Technology. The theme is that of a cartoonish Mexico where the winnings will hook visitors and keep them coming back.
Mexican Style
La Cucaracha greets players with a dry Mexican desert in the manner of 1960s era cartoons, complete with prickly cactuses and lonesome birds and the hot dry desert sands. As is typical of Wager Gaming Tech games, the controls and play account balance is listed across the bottom of the play area in player friendly, intuitive controls. The soundtrack on La Cucaracha is very basic machine sounds, reminiscent of the functioning of brick-and-mortar casino slot machines, with whirrs, bells and clanks. It is not particularly creative, but it does not detract from the game.
Mexican Symbols
The low end combos are covered in this game by card indices ranging from 9 through Ace, as is typical in this style of game. In the middle range, the symbols are Cactuses, Tacos and Maracas. The higher end combos are handled by a Worm in a shot-glass and La Cucaracha himself. In addition there is a wildcard symbol of a mischievously grinning red Chili Pepper, but more on that later.
Mexican Style Play
The La Cucaracha symbol serves as the Scatter, and when he shows up in groups of three or more free spins are awarded with a 3x multiplier. This can make the winnings really rack up fast, and more free spins can be won during the free spin round too.
When the Chilies start coming up, though, is when the real fun starts! Three of the Chilies in a row brings up the Chilli-Ow! bonus round that features a fun and creative game. In the side game the player selects three chili peppers, each one of which raises the meter for the final recipe. The players winnings are multiplied by the level on the heat meter. If the heat meter reaches 12 or more, more free spins are awarded. This is a really well rendered bonus round that is fun t play, and especially appealing to those of us who love the chili peppers!
Mexican Treasures
Coin values on La Cucaracha may be set by the player to values ranging up to $10, and with 25 paylines, which makes the big bet here $250. Not quite the stuff of high-rollers, but certainly a big bet for most players.
The big jackpot is won with three worms, and it is 5000 coins. If playing pennies, that is a tidy $50, but if playing at the $10 level, it is worth a whopping $50,000!
