Wild Chapo Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Mexican drug cartels and crime syndicates are famous worldwide, and amongst the leaders that represented them, El Chapo is one of the more well known. Relax Gaming haven’t quite gone full crime lord on us, but we assume that Wild Chapo is their cheeky little take on the drug kingpin. So it’s off to the Mexican desert we go, with some slick graphics, smooth gameplay and the obligatory dose of Mariachi music.
As we take a look at the paytable we find the lower value symbols are made up of the card suits diamonds, clubs, hearts, and spades. The premium paying symbols are represented by the dog, owl, donkey and Wild Chapo, where a 5 of kind win will pay 10x, 15x, 20x, and 25x respectively.
Spinning your win into the action on Wild Chapo can cost you from as little as €0.10 a play, with the maximum stake on the game reaching €100. There is also an option to buy the bonus for those playing from a region where this is still allowed. This will cost you 60x your stake and raise the RTP to 97%, which is a considerable jump up from the standard playing RTP of 96.36%.
Wild Chapo Slot Base Game
Wild Chapo has a bit more to its base game than just its 5 reels and 15 fixed paylines, which is always helpful in maintaining a playing balance whilst in search of the free spin feature. So what little treats are lined up for you to enjoy, let’s take a closer look.
Respin Feature
The Respin Feature is activated on Wild Chapo when two bonus symbols land in view on a spin. The bonus symbols will be turned into wilds, remain in their place, and you will then be issued with a respin. If a new wild lands in view, then you will firstly be paid any wins that have been achieved, that wild will also stick in place, and another respin will be issued. The respins will only end once you fail to land a new wild symbol
Expanding Wild
Capable of landing on any reel, the TNT Crate is the expanding wild on Wild Chapo. When this land in view, it will explode and make its current position and all positions above it wild.
Wild Chapo Slot Free Spin Feature
Triggering the free spin feature on Wild Chapo will require a minimum of 3 scatter symbols to land in view. The scatter to free spin award ratio has been highlighted below.
- 3 Scatters = 7 free spins
- 4 Scatters = 9 free spins
- 5 Scatters = 11 free spins
The bonus will begin with the scatter symbols that triggered the feature turning into bombs and hovering over their trigger position. All reels will then spin and the aim is to land as many of the bomb symbols on the reels as possible. Each one that lands will hover over its landing position, and if more than one over the series of your free spins hits in the same position, then it will join the bomb that is already there ( with a maximum of up to 4 bombs being possible.
Once you have used all of your spins, then the bombs will then turn into wilds. Any position that has more than 1 bomb will turn into a multiplying wild. So for example, a position with 3 bombs would be a x3 wild. The reels will then spin and any wins that have been formed will be paid.
If during the free spins you land 3 or more bombs on 1 spin, then the bonus will re-trigger and 3 extra spins will be added to your current total.
Wild Chapo Slot Review Final Thoughts
Relax Gaming are renowned for creating quality slots, and Wild Chapo finds itself nicely falling into that category. The sound effects and graphics are excellent, and there is enough in the gameplay in our opinion to keep you occupied throughout.
The free spin bonus can be very hit and miss, with us seeing some bonuses pay as low as 10x. On the other hand, we also had a few that threw in plenty of multipliers, which made the final spin very interesting. Ultimately that’s what it’s all down to in this slot, landing the multiplying wilds and setting up an epic last spin. That being said, the respin feature in the base game can also prove to be very lucrative if the wilds keep on landing. Overall, it’s a good slot that’s worth a play.
