ABOUT
The Puebla Parade is celebrated every fifth of May in Mexico to commemorate the Battle of Puebla where they defeated the French army. Play N' Go takes inspiration from this meaningful celebration to create Puebla Parade, one of the brightest, most festive slots you can find in online casinos!
Betting Options and Bonus Features
Puebla Parade immediately greets players with festive music and bright colors alongside 5 reels and 3 rows. Beside the generic J, Q, K, and A icons on the reels, you will find many Mexican culture-inspired symbols like tacos, guitars, chips and dips, and the most premium of all: the pinata, paying 4x for 5-of-a-kind winning combinations. The slot machine will have a 7/10 volatility, 96.2% RTP, 421 paylines and a max win of 5,000x the total bet.
All the features in Puebla Parade begin with the wild symbols, and there are 2 types of them: Senor Wilds and Senorita Wilds. When both of them land on the same spin, they trigger 2 respins. During the respins, both wilds move randomly and should they land on the same spot, they'll merge together to become the Pareja Wild. This wild will carry a 2x multiplier and 1 more row is added to the reels.
A wild landing during respins means the counter is reset to 2, so it's possible to form up to 3 Pareja wilds and extend the number of rows to 7. Coincidentally, this also triggers the bonus round with 8 free spins, during which all Pareja wild symbols carry a 3x multiplier and alter their positions after every spin.
Roshtein's Take
Although Puebla Parade feels fruitless at times, it's still a beautifully made game with great attention to details. With a theme focused on a dance party, the sound design is second to none. The reels sound satisfying and the background music may very well be the best I've ever heard: it ebbs and flows between moods, from peaceful to energetic to bittersweet.
However, Puebla Parade is the kind of online slot where most of the wins really happen in respins and the bonus spins. Yet, it can take a while to get a bonus since you essentially have to collect 6 wilds of both types in a continuous streak. As a result, there are many longer periods of dead spins or spins with minimal wins. That said, when you get 3 retriggers of respins immediately followed by the free spins feature, it's so satisfying that it's almost worth the wait.
