Play El Tequila for Free

Released in May 2011, El Tequila is an online slot which perfectly captures the essence of Mexico, and you’ll be wishing you had some of the real stuff to neck as you join in!

The game is set in the middle of an ombre orange and yellow screen, which seems to represent the hot and arid desert climate of Mexico. With a few cheeky bottles of tequila poking out from the title, the reels contain all of the symbols you’d expect to see including chili peppers, cactus, tequila, pistols, mariachi guitars and vultures, to name but a few.

There’s no mistaking where you are, with the compulsive lure of the music in the background and the bright colours on the reels.

Before you get started on the tequila, you’ll need to set up how much you’ll bet for the maximum chance of slamming home a winner.

There are 7 reels in El Tequila so it’s a big slot, with a total of 14 paylines which are all horizontal or zig-zag, both left to right and right to left.

You can adjust the value from the minimum of 1.00 per line, right up to a maximum of 1,000.00. Playing on all the lines, this means a total minimum bet of 14.00 and a total max bet of 14,000.00, making it a game well suited to the high rollers.

But with a top prize of 800 for matching four tequilas and an impressive RTP of 98%, there’s an argument that this would be attractive for those after the big wins.

On the reels you’ll find some extras to help you rack up a win or two or land yourself some freebies.

The grumpy looking Mexican worm is the wild and doesn’t offer any payout of its own, but can represent other symbols on the reels. The only exceptions are the bonus and free spins. If you hit at least two wilds on the same reel, it will transform into an expanding wild, bouncing up and down to give you greater wins.

Scatters are also included in the game and if you land four or more of these - the shot of tequila and lime - anywhere on the reels you’ll win yourself four free spins. During these free spins, any wins you rack up will have a x4 multiplier.

Just like many of the other titles from Casino Web Scripts, there’s also the Gamble feature. Compared to the rest of the slot it’s a rather uninspiring design as it’s just the same card game as usual with a chili pepper added to the edge! it is possible to double up your winnings here though so if you’re lucky you probably won’t be complaining about the lack of imagery too much.

Just when you were really enjoying the party, there’s another little surprise: the Jackpot Win.

El Tequila has a progressive jackpot which anyone can win during open play. It’s triggered randomly and can occur both during normal play and free spins. You’ll know you’ve hit the big time as the screen will fill with scatter symbols and jewels will tumble from the sky. Note: you won’t win any free spins for these scatters but you’ll be too busy collecting your prize to worry.

As a progressive jackpot, the value is increasing constantly with 5% from every total bet added. Once triggered, 100% of the prize will be paid out and the value will be recalculated.

The limit on the jackpot payout is capped at 50,000 credits.

El Tequila by Casino Web Scripts is an online video slot with a fun atmosphere and a real fiesta vibe. The large betting options and the progressive jackpot mean that it’s very likely to be more attractive to advanced players rather than complete newbies as there’s no penny bets here. To score really highly it would have been nice to have an extra bonus feature but even without this, it’s a worthwhile play.
