Esqueleto Explosivo 2 Game for Free – Demo & Review

Esqueleto Explosivo 2 scores 8.7/10. It outshines rivals like IGT’s Day of the Dead and Pragmatic Play’s Muertos Multiplier Megaways with better visuals, mechanics, and win potential.

Thunderkick improved on the original with an RTP boost (96% to 96.13%), higher volatility, and a max win increase from 700x to 5,000x. It now ranks among their best titles alongside Pink Elephants and Beat the Beast.

With crisp animations, detailed skulls, and 99 paylines, it offers more depth than comparable slots like NetEnt’s Wild Wild West or Microgaming’s Grim Muerto. For high-volatility fans, Esqueleto Explosivo 2 delivers a superior Day of the Dead experience.

The colorful skull mariachis immediately caught our attention with their cheerful expressions and detailed decorations. Each winning combination triggered celebratory music and explosive animations that created genuine excitement.

The game maintains the original's charm while feeling more sophisticated. Cascading symbols flow smoothly, and the multiplier meter builds tension effectively. We found the pacing perfect for extended sessions – not too slow to become boring, not too fast to feel overwhelming.

The high volatility becomes apparent quickly. Base game wins remain modest, but the frequent cascades and multiplier progression keep engagement high. This suits players who prefer building towards significant bonus features rather than steady small wins.

Esqueleto Explosivo 2 features a 96.13% RTP, placing it slightly above the industry average of 96%. This percentage indicates that for every €100 wagered long-term, the game returns €96.13 to players. We consider this fair for a high volatility slot.

The high volatility means wins occur less frequently but tend to be more substantial. During our testing, base game wins typically ranged from 2x to 20x stake, with occasional larger hits reaching 50x through multiplier combinations. The real potential emerges during free spins, where 64x multipliers can generate wins exceeding 1,000x stake.

Players should expect dry spells lasting 50-100 spins between significant wins. We recommend bankrolls covering at least 150x your stake per session. The volatility suits experienced players comfortable with risk-reward scenarios rather than casual players seeking frequent small wins.

Dropping Symbols activate after every win, exploding winning symbols and allowing new ones to cascade down. This mechanic can create consecutive wins from a single spin, with each cascade advancing the multiplier meter.

Mucho Multiplier starts at 1x and progresses through 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, and maxes at 32x during base game. Each cascade or Explosivo Wild appearance advances the multiplier one step. The multiplier resets only when no new wins occur.

Explosivo Wild appears exclusively on reels 2, 3, and 4, substituting for all symbols except scatters. When landing, it explodes 3-8 surrounding symbols (depending on position), excluding scatters and the highest-paying purple skull. This often triggers cascades and multiplier advancement.

Free Spins Bonus triggers with 3+ scatter symbols, awarding 10, 12, or 14 spins for 3, 4, or 5 scatters respectively. During free spins, every third Explosivo Wild collected adds an extra spin and removes the lowest multiplier from the meter. Once the 32x becomes the base multiplier, a 64x multiplier unlocks for the final spin.

The paytable consists entirely of decorative skulls, each with distinct colours and designs. The purple female skull with earrings and roses pays highest at 5x stake for five symbols. Pink skull pays 2.5x, green pays 1.4x, blue pays 1.2x, orange pays 0.9x, and cyan pays 0.7x for five-of-a-kind combinations.

The golden Explosivo Wild wears sunglasses and appears only on middle reels. It substitutes for regular symbols and explodes nearby positions when landing. The clockwork scatter skull features mechanical elements and triggers the bonus round.

Esqueleto Explosivo 2 uses 99 connecting paylines across 5 reels and 3 rows. Wins form from three or more matching symbols touching horizontally or diagonally on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost position. Minimum bet starts at €0.20, while maximum reaches €100 per spin, accommodating various budget levels.
