5 Mariachis Slot Review

Remember Martin Short, Chevy Chase and Steve Martin as the 3 Amigos? While in retrospect, while culturally insensitive, that movie was a hoot at a time.. That's probably because there's something inherently amusing about a Mariachi Band. It's just so over the top and larger than life.
I once got a lesson in “how not to propose to your girlfriend” when we were out for supper. It wasn't even a Mexican restaurant, but a Mariachi band exploded in from nowhere transfixing every diner. Zeroing in on a dumbstruck lady at a nearby table they serenaded her for what was minutes but no doubt felt like torturous hours to her. Then, the boyfriend put a rose in his teeth (I kid you not), got on one knee and popped the question. I don't know their history, but she slapped him in the face and stormed out. We mulled over the reason why late into the night – maybe she didn't like ao much attention? Maybe he was just a douche and she had already broken up with him? Maybe she panicked?
If you're THAT woman, please stop reading now, because this review is about a video slot by Habanero called 5 Mariachis. I really don't feel like incurring your wrath – that poor bastard who proposed must still have a red cheek.
Anyway, these Mariachis can bring their cheer to your PC, mobile device or tablet.
Beginning this fiesta I couldn't help embracing the festivities on screen. 5 Mariachis is unapologetically happy and try as I might, there was no resisting the good mood.

Gameplay

5 Mariachis is a medium volatility offering with 5 reels and 25 paylines. The standard symbols are a Spanish guitar, chili, castanets, cactus, tequila, senorita and of course, the 5 Mariachis. The low paying symbols are face card letters. The 5 Mariachis are the wilds in the game and each appears only on a different designated reel only. They substitute for anything except the scatter (a skull) and the bonus (a Pinata).
Personally, I found the controls a little bit small (maybe my eye-sight is fading in old age?) but I've been told that size doesn't matter – it all depends on effectiveness…
These controls do the job nicely and are all below the game screen: Info (including Paytable), Bet, Bet Level, Bet Max, Spin, Autoplay, Coin, andTotal Coins. Further down are Game settings (including Quickspin) and Balance/Bet/Win amounts in chosen currency.

Features

15 re-triggerable Free Spins are activated when 3 or more skulls appear next to each other.
During Free Spins when one or more senorita symbols appear, all symbols on the screen will turn to a random standard symbol.

Unique Features

Landing 3 Pinatas triggers a Bonus Game in which you pick a Pinata which then bursts open to reveal a prize.
In regular play, for each substituted symbol in a winning payline, a multiplier is applied.

Performance

I won't give you a song and dance about how these 5 Mariachis performed, but let's just say they partied their way through all tests beautifully. This is a solidly designed slot that will give you no hassles. The graphics, animation, sound effects and music are all a well-meaning, humorous caricature. Nothing is exceptional, but they all combine to create the perfect blend.

Conclusion

While I have learned never to employ a Mariachi band to impress a woman, I will however concede that these maestros of music are a fantastic addition to a slot. 5 Mariachis is a spicy offering with a pinch of humor, a lot of atmosphere and a healthy dose of winning chances. This successful recipe will keep you partying for hours.
