As you’d expect for a slot game with this theme, Lucha Legends is a bright and colourful affair. Joining the lower value A to J symbols are 6 masked Mexican wrestlers and a ring girl. There’s also a wild, the Lucha Legends logo, which substitutes for all other symbols bar the scatter. There are 2 extras on offer in Lucha Legends.
Super Wilds feature - hope to see 1 of the wrestlers randomly spring into life and turn the standard wild into a Super Wild. When this happens, 1 of 2 things will happen - the wild will turn into a multiplier wild to give a 2x or even 3x payout boost or the wild will spread to turn 2 adjacent symbols wild. A new payout consideration is made with the extra wilds in place.
Free Spins feature - this round is activated when you land the scatter on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin. You’ll then receive 10 free spins. Any wild that forms part of a winning combination automatically turns into a Super Wild to further boost your winning chances. Land 2 or 3 scatters on the same spin adds another 1 or 10 free spins to your total.
Lucha Legends also gives you the chance to play in Power Up mode. This costs double your standard bet. In return for that extra investment, you can expect to see the Super Wilds much more regularly. The goodies on offer from the Super Wilds increase too. The multipliers rise to 3x and 5x and the wilds spread to cover 4 adjacent positions rather than 2.
We enjoyed Lucha Legends. The visuals aren’t quite as sophisticated as in some similarly themed slot games, like Lucha Maniacs from Yggdrasil Gaming, but the blasts of trumpet and Mexican-style soundtrack are nicely realised. The range of extras isn’t bad either with the Super Wilds pepping up the base game.
The overall variance is in the medium range with maximum wins of 960 times your stake with 3x multiplier. If you opt for the Power Up mode, the 5x wild multiplier can give you payouts of 2,200 times your stake on every spin. Even if you’re not usually a wrestling fan, the extras on offer make the colourful Lucha Legends worth considering.
