Piñata Bucks

Piñata Bucks Online Slot Game

The main selling point of this casino slot game is that it has amazing graphics inspired by the traditional Mexican fiesta. Lightning Box’s designers have done a fantastic job with the visuals, so even if you don’t care about parties where they smash papier-mache donkeys to pieces, you will still love this slot.

It’s the graphics that attract players to Pinata Bucks, but what makes them stay is the dynamic gameplay with plenty of interesting features. Then, there’s the fact about its money-making potential. With an above-average RTP and medium volatility, this video slot can bring big bucks your way.

Piñata Bucks Theme, Design, and Symbols

When I do an online slot review, I like to test every single thing by myself, which is why I played Pinata Bucks both on a PC and a smartphone. As you would expect from a Lightning Box game, it worked great on each platform.

One of my first impressions was that it looks great with all sorts of fiesta-inspired symbols and a scene of a dark blue-golden sunset in the background. I'm not too crazy about the soundtrack, which is kind of repetitive, but I must admit that does the job of bringing a pinata party atmosphere to your room. Some of the symbols on the reels are tequila bottles, chameleons, cactuses, female dancers, guitar players, and a donkey piñata.

The wild is a sunset landscape icon while the scatter is represented by the colorful donkey piñata. The scatter is also the highest-paying symbol since you earn 2,000x your bet for lots of them on a line.

When it comes to the reel layout, it’s interesting as well. There are five reels in the game, with the middle one featuring a 4x4 with 16 symbol positions. The two reels on each side of Reel 3 (a.k.a. REELFECTA) have three rows.

The result is that there are 1,296 paylines in this game. Add to this the fact that Pinata Bucks also has wild symbols, and you’ll understand that winning isn’t that hard. Of course, you’d love to win as much as possible, and to hit the biggest win (500x), you need to trigger the free spins feature first.

Piñata Lock Spins

Piñata Bucks has a unique feature called the piñata lock spins bonus feature which gets triggered by landing 6 or more scatters on the reels. After triggering the feature, you will be taken to a new grid set of 4 reels and 4 rows. Only blanks and blue piñata symbols can land on the grid during the free spins and you can get a maximum of 5 free spins.

Once a blue piñata symbol lands on the reels, it will lock in place until the end of the feature. If you land more than one of these symbols, they will join together and become a bigger blue piñata that rewards you with higher payouts. It is also worth pointing out that the lock spins bonus feature triggers the jackpots. In order to receive the major jackpot, you must fill up the entire grid with blue piñata symbols which are not that difficult

How to Play Piñata Bucks Slot Game Online?

The first step to starting your Mexican slots party is to find an online casino that has Piñata Bucks in its game library. Then, after making an account and funding it, you can start playing this online slot. Before you hit the spin button, however, it’s important to decide on your stake. You can choose from anywhere between 0.10 and 60 coins.

If you go with the maximum bet, you will have a chance to land the top win of 2,000x, as well as to hit one of the four progressive jackpots. The chance of that happening isn’t too bad given that this slot has an RTP of just under 95%. However, the fact is that you’re going to get smaller prizes way more frequently.

In order to get a prize, you need to get at five matching symbols on the reels, from left to right. The middle reel consists of another four reels, resulting in more ways to win. There’s also the scatter symbol – Pinata – which can bring money your way regardless of its position on the reels.

Piñata Bucks Paytable

The role of the Piñata symbol isn’t just to trigger the free spins round. This symbol can win you money on its own, but only if a lot of them appear on the screen. For instance, if 11 pinatas pop up on the screen, you’re going to get your bet multiplied by 2,000.

For all the other symbols, you just need to get three, four, or five of them on the payline to get a win. The size of the win depends on the symbol as you can see below:

  • Mariachi –  Pays 1.20x for three, 4x for four, and 10x for five symbols on a payline.
  • Flamenco dancer – Pays 1x for three, 1.60 for four, and 5x for five symbols on a payline.
  • Gecko – Pays 0.5x for three, 1x for four, and 3x for five symbols on a payline.
  • Tequila bottle – Pays 0.4x for three, 0.80 for four, and 2x for five symbols on a payline.
  • A, K, and Q cards – Pays 0.10x for three, 0.60 for four symbols, and 1x for five symbols on a payline.
  • J and 9 cards – Pays 0.10x for three, 0.20 for four, and 0.60 for five symbols on a payline.

Summary 

Piñata Bucks is an innovative slot with attractive visuals and fun gameplay. The graphics are worth praising without a doubt and the animations on the symbols are eye-catching as well. On top of everything, it also gives you a fantastic chance to win big money. Not only can get you up to 2,000x your stake, but you can also land one of the progressive jackpots.
