Cinco de Mayo is just a few days away and if you are looking for appropriate new video slots with Mexican themes there are two that are recommended. Both games can be played at online casinos like InterCasino.

The first video slot is known as Taco Brothers, which has the popular 243 ways structure. It is from Elk Studios. The evil Captain Diaz bans tacos in the town of Santa Maria. The Taco Brothers take him on. The high paying symbols are the Taco Brothers Paso, Pepe and Pico. The low paying symbols are typical Mexican icons like guitar, cactus, rum and lantern. The church bell is the regular wild symbol. The Wild Escape free spins feature is triggered by the safe symbol. The free spins come with an up to 3x multiplier.

If any of the Taco brothers land on reel 5 they become Running Wilds. With each free spin they move one reel to the left. When Captain Diaz appears on the reels, the Running Wild symbols are imprisoned. If all three brothers get imprisoned the free spins feature ends. But the Senorita can help them to escape. When she lands on the reels then the imprisoned brothers are set free and the Wild Escape free spins resume. The free spins feature ends when all the Running Wilds have exited the reels from the left.

Paco and the Popping Peppers is from Betsoft. Paco, in his sombrero and serape stands outside the reels conducting the proceedings. The symbols on the reels are an assortment of Mexican vegetables that include pepper, red chilli, green chilli, pineapple, tomato, potato and onion. The pinata is the wild symbol. It awards the highest line payout, but only for a five-of-a-kind combination. Three Paco’s hut symbols trigger the bonus round. You have to guess whether the next card will be higher or lower. A correct guess awards bonuses. You play till you make 10 correct guesses or three wrong ones.

The highlight of this slot game is the popping feature. When winning combinations are formed, the symbols involved pop and disappear. New symbols fall down from above to fill the gaps. If winning combinations are made again then the process will repeat. Payouts are made initially and after each pop. But the payout multiplier increases by 1x each time. It starts at 1x and goes up to 10x for consecutive pops in the same spin. If there is no winning combination then you move on to the next spin with the multiplier reset to 1x.
