Taco Brothers Slot – Online (ELK Studios) Slots Free Play
[cgp_game_sc game_id=”7513″]
The ancient adage goes something like, “during the discovery of gold, sell spades,” and there's truth to it. Selling heavy machinery may be time-consuming, so villains, including Wicked Captain Diaz, prefer to take people's riches and liberty outright. Here we are at ELK Studios' third franchise installment, the largest and tackiest of the bunch: Taco Brothers Derailed.
Taco Brothers occurred in Santa Maria, a tranquil town, where Derailed also takes place. However, there is a mining boom this time, and it promises “gold, tacos, as well as railroads for all.” Sounds good, except that Captain Diaz is coming back to throw a wrench in the plans. It's up to the player to help the three sons and the enigmatic Señorita in exchange for some cash. Santa Maria will not appear like it's in the throes of a mining boom, and Derailed looks gloomier than the original slot. It is like a darker side of the Wild Toro II game, with fewer cheerful images but similarly peppy Spanish music.
To think that 2015 saw the release of the first Taco Brothers film is astounding, but it's not surprising to see a few statistical 180s since then. The obvious one is the max win, but we've also bumped up factors like volatility to a “High” rating (7 out of 10) and dropped the RTP to 95%. Each game's five X-iter settings or the standard mode, where purchased spins cost twenty pence or cents to one hundred euros or pounds, would provide the same result.
Likewise, the grid's robe in the new layout has six reels, four rows, and 466 ways to win. A combo must hit in a diagonal or horizontal direction to be eligible for a payout, beginning on the game's leftmost reel. Payouts are made from the left to the right on neighboring reels. The best-paying icons are the brothers, awarding 5 to 50x the wager for a sequence of six, followed by shakers, skulls, whistles, safes, and lanterns, awarding 0.5 to 2x the stake for a row of six of them. This online slot has many exciting scenes, some of which are more mundane than others. All of them may stand in for any other symbol in a paytable.
Slot Features
Although Derailed has undergone many revisions, some features have clear ties to the first slot. First, we'll discuss Walking Wilds as well as Multiplier Wilds. The Taco Brothers' pay symbols may appear as a walking wild. They advance to the screen’s left by one position, and a new spin is triggered after each step.
When a Walking Wild drops off the board to the left, the respin is over. Any Taco Brothers who pay to sign the same color as a Walking Wild will likewise become wild. Walking Multiplier Wilds are unusual and only appear on the first reel. They’re loaded with a multiplier applied uniformly to all standard wilds in the field. Like the Taco Brothers, each leftward movement of these wilds triggers a respin.
Robbery on a Taco Train
The Train Heist bonus round is triggered by getting three bonus symbols on reels two, three, four, or five. Each of the three wilds will fall in the bonus round. The brothers are introduced to reel six individually, and they shift to the left by one spot with each spin, bringing with them a different multiplier.
When Pico reaches the bottom sequence first, he starts a respin with every leftward movement. When Pico disappears or goes to jail, his younger brother Pepe moves to the second row, right side. After Pepe has disappeared (either by choice or by being incarcerated), Paso takes his place in the back row. The game’s bonus round concludes when every brother is locked in or off the reels. The remaining brothers' multipliers are combined when one brother leaves the grid.
Two other significant icons are present. Captain Diaz is one such character, since he appears just on the opening reel. If he does, the sibling that’s close to the initial one gets locked away as a worthless blocker tile. In second place, on the second reel from the right, is the Senorita. When she scores a hit, she either frees a trapped Brother or teleports the one currently on the 1st reel to the 6th.
Smash ‘n Grab Taco Feature.
You'll unlock this special function when four bonus icons appear during regular play. At the beginning of this bonus round, reel six is filled with walking wild icons and the three wilds. They all walk to the left in unison, setting off a respin. Because of his wild nature, Captain Diaz cannot imprison any wild symbol in this Super Bonus round. If the Señorita scores, she will cast a wild brother on the sixth reel. When the wilds leave the reels, the feature is over.
Final Words
This slot machine is a fun, engaging slot with a cast of characters reminiscent of some of the best shows on television. The game is simple to play, with an intuitive setup and paytable. The Taco Brothers Derailed slot has all the makings of a classic, so try it today.
