Muerto and Mictlan

The theme is based on Día de los Muertos, a kind of Mexican variant of Halloween. Play'n GO thus ties in with the South American wisdom of the former Aztecs.
You recognize it by the name, because 'Muerto en Mictlán' means: "death in Mictlán". In Aztec mythology, Mictlán represents a level of the underworld after death, similar to Purgatory.
Each deceased was given 4 years in Mictlán to fulfill assignments. So you should not be surprised that there are 4 levels within the game theme of the slot machine. The 4 levels come on top of the slow starting base game.

When you start playing the base game, there doesn't seem to be much spectacular going on. The game consists of 5 reels and 3 rows.
They are depicted against a background of a paved square with flower garlands and ordinary garlands in exuberant colours. The flower garlands are on the tiles and hang over the reels you are playing with.
Many different shades are used, such as green, yellow, purple and orange. If you land on a level from the base game, the atmosphere of this slot machine suddenly changes
The tension suddenly comes to the fore very clearly. The ghosts wake up and demand your full attention.

In Muerto and Mictlán are two deceased characters, Catrin and Catrina, around which Play'n GO built the game. Also, characters such as roses, flowers and playing card symbols spin by. If you spin 5 of the same symbols, you will be paid up to 25 times your bet. If you spin 5 Wilds at the same time, you can expect 30 times your bet. If you don't get to 5 at once, the Wilds are replacement symbols. Only they don't replace Scatter for you.<br>
The game only gets really interesting when you level up from the base game. You will then enter the free spin feature. The music changes and you get to choose the type of Wilds you want to try to earn in the first level.

To level up you need to spin Scatter symbols. Scatters land in this slot on top of the regular payment symbols. They leave the payment symbols untouched, so they just pay out.
You can only earn 1 Scatter per reel. The 1 to 5 Scatters across the width of the game will level you up. If you go up 1 level, you will earn 5 free spins to play. This happens again with every level increase. If you play all 4 levels, you do this with a total of 20 free spins.
You have to choose a different Wild feature per level. So you always use 1 feature per level and from the remaining features you can choose any level after that.
Walking Wilds
This way you can choose running Wilds. These Walking Wilds slide 1 step from right to left during every free spin. On the left, they will eventually fall off your reel and disappear.
Sticky Wilds
There are also Sticky Wilds as a pick option. While you are playing the free spin feature, these Sticky Wilds will stick to your playing field the whole time.
Exploding Wilds
Then there are also Wilds that can explode. These Exploding Wilds inflate to a size of 2x2 when they land on your reels.
Expanding Wilds
And finally, there are the Expanding Wilds. When they land on your reels, they grow so big that they cover the entire reel.
While playing a level you need to earn new Scatters to level up 1 level. Once you've earned the required number of Scatters, you'll have to complete the level before you progress further.

If you have risen to level 1 with more than 1 Scatter, then a collection meter will be filled with the extra Scatters that you did not necessarily need for this. So you save the Scatters that you can use for a next increase.
To rise to level 2 you need 5 Scatters. Continue to level 3? Then make sure you can win 11 Scatters.
Level 4, of course, costs the most. You need 18 Scatters for that. If you run out of Scatters at some point, you'll fall back to the base game.

Suddenly, a multiplier can kick in. This can already happen during the base game. This multiplies your winnings by 1x, 2x or 4x.
If the Win Multiplier comes into play during your free spins, the multiplier depends on the level you are in.
Are you in:

• Level 1 or 2, then the factor is 2x, 4x or 6X
• Level 3, then the factor is 3x, 6x or 10x
• Level 4, then the factor is 4x, 10x or 30x

We think this is a beautiful slot with a heavy theme. It starts off fairly friendly with flowers and all kinds of beautiful colors, but the free spins completely change the atmosphere of the game. Spirits awaken and visions replace reality.
In this way, Play'n GO has developed the game theme very nicely. The bonus features keep things going. The payout percentage is also okay but can differ per online casino.
The theme of Día de los Muertos can be found here and there in a lock. For example, in the Calaveras Explosivas Slot of Habanero and Los Muertos of Wazdan. It's always a nice change to the Halloween slots. The fact that you can choose the Wilds yourself increases the playing pleasure.
