Esqueleto Explosivo 2 is a slot machine dedicated to the Mexican holiday from Thunderkick developers.
Five years ago, Thunderkick introduced us to the Esqueleto Explosivo slot machine, dedicated to an unusual holiday celebrated in Mexico called the Day of the Dead. This slot has won an incredible demand among users, and now, after almost five years, Thunderkick developers decided to make a continuation of this slot, which was called Esqueleto Explosivo 2 (Esqueleto Explosivo 2) and is based on the same Mexican holiday.
As soon as you open the slot, the first thing you notice is the completely unchanged design. The background for the game, just like in the first version, is a street with houses, and the reels, or rather the skeletons on which symbols in the form of skulls land, are located on a table with lit candles. But the game engine of the Esqueleto Explosivo 2 slot (Esqueleto Explosivo 2) has undergone significant changes. The setup in Esqueleto Explosivo 2 remains the same with 5 reels and 3 rows, with a Mucho multiplier located at the bottom. One of the most significant changes is that the number of ways to generate wins has been increased from 17 to 99 paylines. This means that winning combinations are formed from 3-5 symbols touching diagonally or horizontally on adjacent reels starting from the first one. The symbolism of the slot machine (Eskeleto Explosive 2) has not undergone any special changes either, the same skulls from the first part will help you form the winnings, the only difference is that another skull has been added - with yellow hair and it is the most profitable image. The golden skull with sunglasses is still the Explosivo Wild, appearing only on reels 2, 3, 4 and replacing all regular pay symbols. The scatter symbol is a skull robot with red eyes and a key sticking out of its right ear.
Thunderkick developers decided to keep all the good features of the original, but still make a few game-changing additions. The game mechanics of Dropping Symbols, which we saw in the first part, is back again. This is a cascading win system that explodes winning symbols by removing them from the reels, allowing new ones to fall in their place and form new combinations. With each win, the multiplier will increase, which starts at x1 and doubles with each consecutive win - x1, x2, x4, x8, x16, with x32 being the maximum during the base game.
The Mucho multiplier also increases whenever a wild (golden skull) appears. Wild symbols appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 and replace all symbols except for the scatter. They also explode and destroy 3 to 8 characters in close proximity.
Fans of the first part will be happy to know that in Esqueleto Explosivo 2 the developers of Thunderkick have decided to add a round of free spins, which was sorely lacking in the original. In order to activate it, you need to catch 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols (robot-skull) during the main game. As a result, you will receive 10, 12 or 14 free spins respectively. Scatters continue to appear during the free spins and if there are at least two of them, they will award you additional free spins.
During free spins, interesting features come into play, namely the collection of wild symbols. If you collect 3 wilds, you will get one additional free spin. Also, the lowest multiplier (x1) is removed and replaced with x2. This continues until you hit the 32x base multiplier, and once that happens, the x64 multiplier comes into play for three more wilds collected.
In conclusion, I would like to say that Esqueleto Explosivo 2 is definitely more interesting than the original version due to improved features. Among them is an increase in the number of ways to form winnings, as well as free spins, and we can say with confidence that Esqueleto Explosivo 2 will be a great addition to the collection of Thunderkick games.
