Esqueleto Explosivo 2 Review
Celebrating the iconic Day of the Dead in style, Enrico Mortis and his infamous mariachi band, The Boners, return to charm up your life. Developed by Thunderkick, Esqueleto Explosivo 2 plays on 5-reels with 99 paylines and turns up the volatility to high.
Just like the first slot, Esqueleto Explosivo, this one blends Mexican slots with music slots to create something magical. Everything returns from the original title but this time with more to win and an impressive free spins round. Esqueleto Explosivo 2 is beautiful and wonderful, there’s so much to love in this slot and no reason NOT to check it out.
Design
If you just looked at this slot alone, you’d think it’s a masterpiece. The vibrancy in colours from the characters and backgrounds are perfect for The Day of the Dead celebration. However, it’s fully copied from the original slot. From the design of the skulls to the setting of the alleyway, it’s just the same slot copied over.
Even the music played from the mariachi band and in the background is almost identical to the first slot. Of course, the original slot is brilliant in design and one of the most eye-catching slots we’ve seen.
Unfortunately with Esqueleto Explosivo 2, we’ve seen this before and it feels incredibly cheap. Thunderkick has impressed us with almost all their slots, but the repetition is a letdown.
Gameplay
Everything you could need can be found at the bottom of the screen. The left-hand side contains a menu with the game rules and paytable, whilst the right-hand side has the stake selection, autospin and spin button. Players can set autospins of up to 5,000 with bets going up to 100.00.
Win Potential
Unlike the first slot, Esqueleto Explosivo 2 is a high volatility slot with an RTP of 96.13%. The returns will be less frequent, but high when they do - so make sure that you have the bankroll to sustain you.
Players can win up to 5,000x their stake by landing the multiplier of x64 - but that’s the maximum that they can expect to win. It’s a decent amount but may not be satisfactory enough for high rollers.
Our Verdict
If we hadn’t played the original, then this slot would be an utter knockout. Unfortunately, the design and most of the gameplay is repeated from the first game. However, the addition of free spins and a higher multiplier does make Esqueleto Explosivo 2 more appealing.
It’s only a small addition but makes a huge difference. This slot is clear for high rolling players who want bigger wins and they’ve definitely reached their mark. If you love the Esqueleto Explosivo series and thought that it needed free spins, higher volatility and a bigger payout, then definitely check out Esqueleto Explosivo 2.
