Slot Details

La Fiest is a video slot with five reels, four rows and 40 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols on a line from left to right only. You can salsa through the reel festival on desktop and mobile from 0.10 to 100 credits per spin. The game has high volatility (4/5) with an RTP of 96.19% and a hit frequency of 21.88% (roughly 1:5 spins). Using Bonus Buy Feature increases the RTP to 96.55%.

A typical rural town centre in the Spanish heartland is in the background of a game window that is held on a wooden pedestal. Dominating the reels are the mighty bull and the matador who holds a rose in his teeth to charm the senorita attending the festival with her grim-looking father. Vibrant colours and a quirky salsa soundtrack will get you into the mood for the reel festival that is about to unfold.

The pay symbols start at the low end with card suits shaped as perfume flacons – blue clubs, green diamonds, purple hears and red spades – awarding across the board 0.7x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by a senorita, a senor, a matador and the mighty bull. Hit five on a line to win 2x to 10x your stakes. All symbols can appear fully stacked with the max pay in the base game peaking at 400x your bet for a full screen of bulls or wilds or a combination of both.

The game has no less than four wild symbols – tomato wilds, tomato splash wild, donkey wild and stallion wild – all substituting for any regular pay symbol and also yielding 10x bet for five across the reels. Lastly, there are four types of scatters, the standard icon on reel one and three as well as one marked with roses, tomatoes and bulls on reel five, which will determine the bonus feature to be played.

La Fiesta Slot Features

Get ready for a festival of random and bonus features as Relax Gaming has been intent on bringing a fresh summer breeze into casino lobbies and included a whole host of them into this salsa reel party. As usual, we will take you through in the best possible order.

Three random feature can trigger at the start of any spin in the base game to modify the reels for potentially bigger wins. La Tomatina will add a number of random wilds to the reels, Pamplona will superstack the bull premium symbols and San Joan will get you a roaming donkey wild. The latter appears upright two symbols high and will start off with an x1 multiplier. As he roams between the reels, respins are played at no additional cost and the multiplier increased by x1 for every move. The feature will end when the donkey will randomly fall into the horizontal, giving you one more respin and a last x1 multiplier boost. Only wins containing the donkey wild will benefit from the multiplier.

Hitting two standard scatters on reels one and three as well as one of three feature scatters on reel five will trigger the Free Spins Fiesta Tour with four different bonus modes. The La Fiesta Tour Bus will pull up and display a giant wheel and a ladder showing the four features in ascending order of their win potential. You can now choose to take the won feature or gamble it for a better one. A lost gamble will get you a lower-value feature except for the Falleras Free Spins where you’ll get nothing and return to the main game.

Here’s what you can expect from each feature. Remember that you don’t necessarily need to gamble any won feature and can simply take what you got at any time. Once selected, the game will start the free spins round with the chosen modifiers. We listed them below in ascending order of their win potential.

• Rose Scatter on reel 5 – Falleras Free Spins: A mini-game with only red and golden roses on the reels appears with each red rose landing giving you +1 free spin and a golden rose getting you +1 free spin and x1 multiplier increase. The reels respin as long as roses land or the entire screen is filled. The feature then starts with the total number of collected free spins and the multiplier. Roses can land during the round, awarding the same extras.
• Tomato Scatter on reel 5 – La Tomatina Free Spins: Will get you 7 free spins which cannot be retriggered. Any tomato wilds landing on a free spin will stay sticky for the remainder of the feature.
• Bull Scatter on reel 5 – Pamplona Free Spins: Will get you 6 free spins with a herd of bulls charging through the screen at the start of each free spin and adding superstacked bull premium symbols to the reels. The maximum you can win from this feature is 2,400x your bet should you manage the highly unlikely feat to hit a full screen of bulls on each of the six free spins.
• San Joan Free Spins – Highest win potential: This feature can only be won by successfully gambling the Pamplona Free Spins. A roaming Stallion Wild standing upright 3-symbols high with a progressive multiplier is added to a random reel. Just like the donkey in the base game, the stallion will roam from reel to reel while respins are played at no additional cost and the multiplier is increased by x1 for every move. The feature will end at random when the stallion will fall into the horizontal, giving you one more respin and a last x1 multiplier boost. Only wins containing the stallion wild will benefit from the multiplier.

Lastly, players lucky enough to be in a jurisdiction, where feature buys are still allowed, can take a shortcut and gain direct access to the main event. Clicking on the Buy Feature button will bring up a screen to display the amount it will cost, which is 50x your base bet. Once confirmed, it will deduct the amount from your balance before starting a spin that will land the two standard scatters on reel one and three as well as one of the three feature scatters on reel five.

Final Verdict

Well, that was some jolly good fun and all with a comical touch. This kind of feature-rich slots is usually not the domain of Relax Gaming. But they did a pretty good job in cramming no less than seven random and bonus features into the gameplay. All work rather well together, although I have some reservations about the max win potential. It will be quite the bullfight to get past the 2,000x bet mark while in my opinion, the noted 14,778x bet seems to be out of reach. Nonetheless, the slot is very entertaining and deserves a salsa reel dance.
