Beautiful Bones

Get ready to party, Day of the Dead style, with the inventive Beautiful Bones slot from Microgaming. If you want to celebrate a totally different kind of holiday, this is where the action is at. Beautiful Bones does indeed look beautiful, and it is also fun to play. There are two bonus features to look out for, and plenty of fireworks.

The reels are decorated for a fiesta, and the slot is styled on Día de los Muertos, the traditional Mexican celebration, with the symbols all characters from the Day of the Dead celebrations. The women with their faces painted to look like skulls pay out up to 300 coins each, while the guys pay out up to 150 coins. The music has a suitably Mexican twang to it, and it’s all very stylishly designed.

The Wild Symbol, a Heart, triggers a free spin when you get three Wild Symbols lined up either horizontally or vertically, and during this spin the central symbol will stay Wild. The most lucrative feature is, however, the free spins from the Scatter Symbol.

The Scatter Symbol is a grinning Sugar Skull on a backdrop of flowers and when you get one on reels 1 or 5 you add a sugar skull to the Sugar Skull Meter on the grid. If you want to, you can trigger the free spins bonus when you get to 10 or 20 sugar skulls on the meter, or you can continue to collect them until you have 30. At this point you automatically trigger the top tier free spin bonus. The top tier bonus is 18 free spins and a x5 multiplier. 20 sugar skulls awards 15 free spins with a x4 multiplier, and 10 sugar skulls gives you 10 free spins and a x3 multiplier.

Try to hold out for the top tier bonus if you can, since this is where I found most of the bigger wins to come from. This is an excellent game with a fun, stylish theme and it’s a great one to play all year round. The Beautiful Bones slot is a real winner with an unusual style.
