How to play Spiñata Grande?

Spiñata Grande video slot from NetEnt makes use of 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 paylines. What’s best about this amazing video slot is its Mexican theme. Bright, colourful, entertaining and packed full of good old fashioned mariachi music, every spin will have you dancing in your seat.

Spiñata Grande’s main eye catchers are the fantastic piñata characters. For those of you unfamiliar with piñatas, they are papier-mâché containers in the shape of animals or objects and filled with toys and candies. The piñata is then broken with sticks as part of a fun celebration to release all the goodies inside for everyone to enjoy.

You will find these brightly coloured and highly detailed animal piñatas are your big pay out symbols in the game. Along with the standard 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace, you have the moustachioed fish, the wacky bird, the pink burro (donkey) and the charging torro (bull).

Even the backdrop of the game showcases the Mexican fiesta atmosphere with floating balloons and brightly coloured pennants, making you feel that your next spin could very well trigger a party.

You can try this game today for free before playing for real money, where Spiñata Grande allows you to bet from as little as €0.20 but you can increase this to €200 per spin if you have money to burn. Here at Mr Green, we definitely recommend a coin setting of around €2.00 per spin, it’s a great balance between playtime and payouts.

Spiñata Grande features

Wondering where the usual scatters, wilds or bonus features are? Spiñata Grande takes these typical bonus features found on the majority of other slot machine titles but does something a little different. Gone are the typical scatters and wild symbols, instead Spiñata Grande has utilised ‘colossal’ symbols. The best of which is the ‘Mini-Slot’ feature that’s basically a slot machine within a slot machine. Confused? Don’t be. It’s a great bonus feature that really pays out directly in the form of coin candy and also free spin rounds. It can take a little time for the ‘Mini-Slot’ to appear, but hold out because when it does appear, it’s where you will make your biggest wins.

What about wilds? Well the wild symbol in this game only appears during the free spin round bonus, but what a wild it is! The wild is a colossal 3×3 symbol featuring a huge Mexican styled skull that covers reels 2, 3 and 4. You will find that every time this symbol lands on your free spin round, the winnings go through the roof. We personally like it… in fact, we really love it… a lot!

Colossal Wins

From the very first spin of Spiñata Grande, you will notice the colossal (and colourful) symbols, but what exactly is a colossal symbol and why is it special?
Firstly, colossal symbols are 2×2 and 3×3 symbols, double and even triple the size of a regular slot symbol. What makes the colossal symbol really special, is the way it partly stacks itself across several reels, creating winning paylines as it goes and big wins if it falls alongside its smaller symbols of the same type. For example, a 3×3 colossal landing across reel 1, 2 and 3 wins itself, but a 2×2 or standard 1×1 symbols falling on lines 4 and 5 to will complete a 5x symbol payline.
This is why Spiñata Grande has a maximum coin win of 120,000 coins (€120,000)!

Spiñata Grande in-game bonus features

Spiñata Grande is one of the best slot machine online for bonuses. As mentioned previously, the game doesn’t offer scatters, free spins or wilds in the usual way. The standard game play revolves around the use of colossal game symbols, while the bonus features are triggered when the ‘Mini-Slot’ appears in game. When this symbol appears, it’s almost like hitting the jackpot!

Colossal Mini-Slot Feature

The ‘Mini-Slot’ machine is a 3×3 colossal symbol that depending on how much of the bonus symbol is revealed, will reveal 3, 6 or 9 random casino rewards from instant wins in the form of bronze, silver and gold coins, plus a chance to open up the great free spins round for even bigger win possibilities.

Spiñata Grande Free Spins

If the mini-slot feature is revealed during game play, three free spin symbols will trigger five free spin rounds. Every additional symbol will reward the player with one extra free spin round.
It’s only during play in the free spin rounds that the ‘Colossal Wild’ can appear. The colossal Wild is a 3×3 wild that substitutes for all symbols except for colossal bonus symbols and when hit it greatly increases your bonus payout.
