Taco Brothers Slot Elk Studios

Taco Brothers is a video slot with 243 paylines from Elk Studios software provider. I never play before any game from this software and before I opened it I didn't know which software created this game. After game loaded I saw Elk Studios, I said ok fine let's tried them out.

At the beginning I set bet to 0.5€ per spin. After few spins I saw that the game pay poor so I lower my bet. Later when I already finished session on this game I saw that you can play even with 0.1€ bet stakes. I was wondering how is this possible because the game offer 243 ways and it is unusual for this kind of game that have set minimum bet spin like this.

The game offer free spins feature, we can find many running wilds into this feature but when I played it, it paid poor. I was disappointed at the end when I saw how much I won, I had many wilds so I expected bigger win of at least x 100. The feature is created good with all wilds and other thing but I don't like paytable on it. I also think that this feature ended too soon, because when you get on the reels symbol of Cpt Diaz it will imprison running wilds and if all brothers end in jail the free spins feature ends.

The Elk Studios added into this game also betting strategies. If you choose one of them, the game will automatically raised your bets while you spinning. This kind of betting strategies I saw first time into video slots, but i don't think if can help you. I don't think I will play this game in the future, I don't like the fact how Taco Brothers paid me while I was playing, so i will leave it on some other side. Maybe I will change my mind if i will see any great winning picture on this game. Otherwise the graphics are great.

"Taco Brothers" is a game that includes several quite interesting innovations in aspects as design, options, and special features, which has a visually appealing theme with big symbols inspired by the adventures of three Mexican brothers, Pico, Pepe and Paso, which main targets are to rob the town bank, outwit the cpt. Diaz and try to conquer to the beautiful Señorita.

This slot of 5 x 3 reels was released by "Elk Studios" on 9 September this year, it has the feature 243 ways to win, a theoretical RTP of 96.30% and the value per spin is only 10 credits, and that’s why rates on paytable are considerably low, a situation that is compensated to some extent by the existence of two different wild symbols that help improve largely the hitting average of the game; normal wild has the image of a bell and only works as substitute for standard symbols, the other wild is called "Brothers Taco Wild" that is substitute and also serves to provide a re-spin whenever two of these symbols appear simultaneously on the reels, the main objective of this re-spin is to give an extra chance to obtain 3 scatters and thus trigger the free spins round, if it does not occur, then new combinations formed are also paid.

Scatter is the symbol of a safe and may appear only on reels 1, 3 and 5, and 3 scatters are needed to trigger an indefinite round of free spins; during this round one of the brothers is dropped on reel 5 to become a wild symbol that moves one step at a time from reel 5 to the left, and this happens until he escapes or until he is imprisoned for the appearance of the cpt Diaz symbol on reel 1, if at some time it appears La Señorita symbol, then it is restarted the brother tour, La Señorita also has the keys to open the jail, so her appearance also has the power to release the brothers who are imprisoned for continuing their journey as wild symbols; when a brother is imprisoned then the next one is dropped to start his own journey; 3 brothers fall in the following order: Pico, Pepe and Paso at last; the round ends when all brothers escape or when all are imprisoned, and in any case the player collects the loot collected throughout the round. This feature is somewhat complex, but it is certainly quite original and also quite funny, although I'm not sure if awards normally obtained here are sufficient to meet expectations of players.

Another important innovation on this game is the option to use betting strategies that are applied automatically by the machine, which are 3 as follows: Jumper (raises on win), Leveler (raises after five losses consecutive) and Booster (raises bet one level after a loss).

As we can see "Taco Brothers" is a really interesting slot and although its popularity grows very slowly, time will finally tell if this game is here to stay or just to be one more.
