ReelPlay starts this one on three reels and lets it grow: every win bolts another reel onto the right-hand edge and respins it, with the Symbol Multiplier picking up 1x each time. Three Shrines lock in the LevelUp Respins, and the counter goes back to three respins every time another Shrine turns…
Money Mariachi Fiesta Infinity Reels is an online slot driven by ReelPlay. I played it at 3.00 a spin. It employs 3 reels, 4 rows and 16 ways to win, with the reel set widening to the right as the wins keep arriving, and it is playable on all devices. Those 16 ways are not fixed paylines, and the count climbs as the grid does. ReelPlay has decided on a 96.16% RTP configuration in the base game, climbing to 97.04% if you buy the feature. The build my capture ran on points at a 94% configuration instead, so the return an operator serves is not automatically the one on the marketing sheet.
Visually, Money Mariachi Fiesta Infinity Reels remains faithful to the fiesta theme. I started on 2,000.00. I failed to slip into any sort of rhythmic trance across my 240 spins, though, because of how seldom the reels chain on - 42 paying spins in total, 24 of them beneath the stake, and a stretch of 20 dead spins concluding on spin 147. In all, 720.00 went through the game and 409.20 came back. In terms of mechanics, it's a blend between two concepts - Infinity Reels and a respin round - and each win appends a reel to the right and respins it. The chain carries on for as long as each new reel keeps the win alive. 3 or more Shrine scatters lock in for the LevelUp Respins. There are no free spins in this game at all; the respins round is the whole feature.
The characters do the paying here - the Guitarist, the Trumpeter, the Violinist and the Songstress, each bearing its own multiplier in the feature - and matching symbols pay on neighbouring reels from the leftmost reel.
The scatter symbol arrives in the form of a Shrine, and 3 are enough to trigger the bonus. The three that trigger it lock in place for the round. There's also a Symbol Multiplier that begins at 1x and rises by 1x with every reel added. It doesn't apply to the Shrine, though. A chain that has opened five reels is running at 3x by the time it gets there. Other than this, there's not much more happening as far as symbols are concerned.
Our Minty Verdict: One spin out of 240 carried 54% of everything the session won, and it was the one that opened the LevelUp Respins. Without spin 76, my 720.00 of stakes returned 187.20. The 96.16% on the sheet and the 20,350x ceiling both sit on the far side of a feature that turned up once.
Players need to land a minimum of 3 Shrine scatters anywhere on the reel set to trigger the respins feature, and this will grant 3 respins. The counter reverts to 3 every time a fresh Shrine lands, which means the round lasts for as long as the Shrines keep coming; unlock 12 reels in a single spin and the Infinity Bonus pays 888x the total bet. The feature buy costs 100x the bet if you don't want to linger. At the 3.00 stake I was playing, that comes to 300.00 a go.
As anticipated, the bonus is possible to re-trigger should you land further scatter symbols, and mine did, on spin 76. The balance moved from 1,831.70 to 2,050.70 on that spin, and 2,050.70 was as high as the session got. It paid 222.00 from a 3.00 stake - 74 times the stake, and 54% of everything I won all session. The other 239 spins returned 187.20 between them.
When it comes to Money Mariachi Fiesta Infinity Reels, I have mixed feelings: one trigger in 240 spins is just too sparse. It came on spin 76 and did not come back across the 164 spins that followed. Without it I'd have departed with almost nothing, something that is mildly irritating. The closing balance was also the lowest point of the run.
The 20,350x max win is admittedly the draw. But I concluded the session down from 2,000.00 to 1,689.20 - a 56.8% return.
