Grim Muerto Slot Review

Grim Muerto from Play ‘n Go is a slot machine that celebrates all things dead – rather an odd theme we thought, but that’s before we started playing it. You will have no doubt heard of the Grim Reaper – the skeleton in the black cape clutching a scythe, he’s also known as death and is a common element in history and culture as the creature who comes for you, causes your death and takes you to the other side.

It’s the stuff of nightmares, but Grim Muerto is totally the opposite of the Grim Reaper and is almost identical to the Day of the Dead – the Mexican holiday which is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd. Dia de Muertos allows the dead to live again and was also a topic covered by the James Bond movie ‘Spectre’. Play ‘n Go want slots enthusiasts to be able to celebrate Dia de Muertos every day of the week by playing the Grim Muertos slot game.

With 5 reels and 20 paylines, you can play from as little as 0.20. High rollers can bet a maximum of 1,000 a turn in the hope of scooping the biggest prizes on offer. There are free spins, wilds and a gamble feature on offer, as well as a 1,000x multiplier jackpot.

Celebrate in Style

A jolly fanfare will play out in the background with symbols falling into place on the reels. When you form a winning combination, those symbols will come alive. Skeleton, brightly coloured skulls, instruments and followers make up the symbols on the reels – which looks exactly like the streets of Mexico during their special holiday. Sugar skulls are used to decorate the gravestones of the deceased during the Day of the Dead – so it was no surprise to see them being a prominent feature in this slot game.

Spooktacular Payouts

The wild which is represented by the golden guitar is the highest paying symbol – five on your payline triggers that 1,000x multiplier, so betting big stakes can return huge payouts.

Other high paying symbols are the Mariachi (skeleton) symbols; the orange skeleton which offers a 700x multiplier, purple skeleton with a 500x multiplier, green skeleton with a 400x multiplier and the pink skeleton with a 350x multiplier.

Free Spins Feature

Marco Siniestro feature goes as follows; one of the reels is randomly chosen and highlighted for each spin. Wilds that are part of a chosen reel will become expanded and replace every symbol on that reel. This feature can come into play during the free spins bonus too – between two and five reels will be highlighted and extra wilds will be added to expand on those reels.

Three skull book symbols (scatters) will trigger the free spins feature. Ten free spins will be awarded with a 10x multiplier. If you can spin in 3 candle skull symbols during your free spins will re-trigger the 10 free spins. One or two symbols will award 3 or 6 additional free spins. During your free spins, one Mariachi will become an extra wild and substitutes for all symbols apart from the scatter.

If you only manage to spin in two scatter symbols, don’t despair because the ‘Second Chance’ feature will trigger. Select one of the Mariachi symbols to reveal your reward – find the hidden scatter and it will start the free spins feature.

Gamble if you are feeling brave (or lucky) to win double or quadruple any base game win.

Eerily Good Stuff

Grim Muerto slot machine may very well be styled on a spooky holiday, but it couldn’t be further away from it if it tried. Hearts, bright colours, happy skeletons and cheerful music can be found whilst playing this medium to high variance slot game from Play ‘n Go. It’s a slot machine that focuses heavily on free spins and there’s various ways to get your hands on them.

Big wins will come from the free spins feature – thanks to the 10x multiplier that accompanies wins. When we played this slot game, we triggered the free spins on a regular basis and you don’t have to bet big stakes to win big either – there’s plenty of ways to get your hands on big cash, whether that be during the base game or via the free spins bonus.
