The Mariachi Bring a Diamond Fiesta to Thunderbolt

From the Arabian desert in 5 Wishes, we're moved us to the cheerful streets of an unknown Mexican town, right in the middle of a Día de los Muertos celebration.

Alongside Mariachi music, the player is taken on an adventure filled with precious diamonds and upbeat tunes, beautiful ladies and some chilli pepper spice. The design is partly cartoonish, but does not affect the visual experience as the colours are so alive and simply ready to jump out of the screen. Surrounded by lights and decorations, the 5 reels and 3 rows in the base game accommodate symbols such as maracas, scorching hot chilli peppers and bottles of tequila.

PLAY DIAMOND FIESTA

The symbols of a lady with a fan and the mariachi guitarist complete the paytable as high-value icons, and playing card denominations from 9 to Ace represent lower values. The painted skull is one of the Scatters, with the shiny diamond being the other bonus symbol. The Wild is the proud and cheery Señor Skeleton – he appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, replacing any standard symbol if need be without affecting the Scatters.

Wait for 6 or more diamonds to appear on a single spin and they will trigger the Jackpot Diamond Feature. The reward is 3 re-spins with the diamonds held in their positions. Once the re-spins are played, the diamonds will be removed to unveil prize value or jackpot. Mini and Minor jackpots may be revealed in any grid.

Expanding Reels Mexican-style

Major and Grand jackpots may appear in corner positions in the 8x4 grid only. So, how does the gird expand? When diamonds land in all four corner positions during the Jackpot Diamond Feature, the reels expand – from 5x3 to 6x3, then to 6x4 and eventually to 8x4. Each additional diamond will award players another re-spin.

But, that's not nearly all! Three or more Scatter Skulls appearing anywhere on the reels will activate the Free Spins round. Initially, the player will receive 6 freebies, with more potentially added as more Scatters appear spin after spin. The Jackpot Diamond Feature can also activate during free spins. With 4 jackpot prizes and a top payout worth 800x the bet, Diamond Fiesta is one party you need to clear your agenda for. The date is 22nd of April and the venue is Thunderbolt Lobby!
