Play El Fuego for Free

To some people, Lucha Libre is a way of life. To others, it is simply a bunch of blokes and blok-ettes dressed up in silly costumes looking for elaborate ways to break their bones. Whichever way you look at it, you can’t argue with the entertainment value on show - regardless of whether you actually believe in the ridiculous scripted story-lines or if you are just in it for the pleasure of seeing people punch each other.

This free El Fuego slot machine (which literally translates from Spanish as ‘The Fire’) is based on the Mexican form of professional wrestling, starring a line up of beastly competitors who you certainly wouldn’t want to get in a scrap with, despite their cartoonish appearance. However, the real star of this sports themed slot machine is Emilio, the deceptively weak-looking pocket rocket who is the current wrestling champion. Apparently he trains by washing the dishes at his local soup kitchen…

If you want to play El Fuego at an online casino, then you will need to know a little bit about the gameplay involved. It’s all quite simple, really, and you shouldn’t have too much trouble getting the hang of the slot machine if you are used to playing video slots. And if you are a bit unsure about it, then you can always play for free before you place about real cash on the line.

When there is money in play, you can be sure that there are some walloping wins on offer - the best of which is a 2,000x line bet multiplier that is awarded whenever five Emilio icons align on a payline. On this brand spanking new slot, you can bet from 0.01 per payline, making a the minimum bet across all 15 lines 0.15. The maximum total bet comes in at 150.00.

Just like Emilio the diminutive dishwasher, this slot machine packs one heck of a surprisingly powerful punch when it comes to the size of the top prizes. And it gets even better, too. That is because the gambling game presents a couple of opportunities to boost your wins with some x2 multipliers. The first multiplier comes into play whenever the wild belt icon appears and completes a winning line by substituting for other icons.

On top of that, all wins are doubled whenever the game goes into free spins mode. Unlike most other video slots, this feature is not activated by a scatter icon, but instead it is triggered whenever a winning combination of character icons appear, with 5 free spins awarded for any five-of-a-kind wrestler combo. Spinners can continue to tally up the free spins during the bonus feature with all paytable icons (including 10, J, Q, K and A) offering extra free spins.

Mexico is rich with colour and spice, and in many ways the wackiness of Lucha Libre is a perfect encapsulation of the country’s vibrant and exciting culture. If you’re after more of the same, then why not check out the Nacho Libre slot machine from iSoftBet, which is based on the goofy yet hilarious comedy film starring Jack Black. And if you’d rather sample some different flavours from Mexican culture, then we would definitely recommend you try out Spiñata Grande by NetEnt, Paco and the Popping Peppers from BetSoft and Esqueleto Explosivo by Thunderkick.

El Fuego might not get every punter fired up for a fight, but it will certainly ignite a spinning spark in any player who grew up watching the likes of the Rock, the Undertaker and Triple H in WWE. There is no denying that the game promises to knock you out with some big wins, especially when those x2 multipliers tag in to the fight during wild wins and free spins. Plus, you can take the action with you wherever you go since you can play El Fuego on mobile and tablet. So, are you ready for the fight of your life?
