Would you like to try win some cash?

Here’s a slot from EGT that is set in a border town that is between Mexico and the USA. It might get a different look in a few years’ time if a certain person has his way. Until then, players can just concentrate on doing their best to win as much cash as they can thanks to its lucrative bonus games. Whether you are a Senor or a Senorita, there are plenty of reasons to play ‘Route of Mexico.’

This is a five-reel slot from EGT that has three rows of symbols and on them there are a total of 20 pay-lines. It’s up to you to decide just how many of them to activate for each spin of the reels. You can either play just the one (it’s still possible to trigger the bonus elements in this slot with just a single pay-line in play), five ten fifteen or the whole twenty pay-lines. The minimum cost of playing all the pay-lines is 20 and the maximum you can play on a single spin is 400. Simply play at a level you feel comfortable with and amounts you can afford to lose.

EGT games always seem to have a large set of reels. That’s the case here but at least we still have a bit of space left over to see some of Mexico in the background. There’s a blue sky and some rather large cacti. As for the symbols, there is a massive Mexican influence with several animals that you’d see in that country (no sign of Speedy Gonzalez though). There’s an eagle, an armadillo and some kind of racoon. In terms of human symbols there’s a Senor with a big hat and Senorita with a purple flower in her hair. The latter two symbols pay 50x and 25x your stake if five of them end up on a pay-line.

The wild symbol is the a ‘wild’ sign located somewhere in the desert right beside two huge cacti. This only appears on the second, third and fourth reels. It can replace all the other symbols apart from the scatter symbol which is the classic 1950s red car. That also only appears on the second, third and fourth reels. That wild can appear stacked so that will greatly increase your chances of getting some more wins.

EGT games do share many features and they are present in this slot. That all kicks off with the four progressive jackpots on offer in ‘Route of Mexico.’ Just how much they have reached can be seen above the reels. The four progressive jackpots are in club, diamond, heart, and spade levels. It appears on a random basis and is a ‘pick ‘em game. Get three matching suits and whichever one it is, you win that progressive jackpot, hopefully it’ll be the top one.

Three of the scatter symbols anywhere on the reels will get you three free spins. A new set of reels is used for the free spins. There’s a new symbol too which is an ‘extra spin’ one which only appears on the first reel. That can help boost the number of free spins you receive. Another big bonus is that the wild symbols turn into Wild Reels. The first free spin has two of them, three on the second and that increases to four on the third. With that number of wild symbols on the reels, the chances of big wins coming along just got a lot higher.

If the extra spin symbol turns up on your first free spin, that will delay the arrival of the next wild reel. If it makes an appearance on the second free spin, then you get an extra spin with the second and third reels totally wild. If it pops up on the first reel on the third free spin then with three reels already wild, that extra spin must surely produce some good wins with all that substitution going on.

As with other EGT slot games, there is also a gamble feature in this slot. Again, it’s time to correctly guess the colour of the next playing card to double your win. Get it wrong and you lose everything so be careful and never try to go for the maximum five guesses allowed as that’s so difficult to do.

Other EGT games such as ‘Amazon’s Story’ and ‘Wonder Tree’ have similar styles of gameplay. While they also have the four progressive jackpots and a gamble feature, they both offer more free spins. ‘Mermaids Pearl’ from Novomatic also has 20 pay-lines and the chance to win free spins. Also, try ‘Reel King Free Spin Frenzy’ from Novomatic where there’s also the same number of pay-lines but the wild symbols appear on all the reels.

The gameplay will be familiar to those of you who that play a lot of EGT games. The theme is a decent one and well adhered to. The free spins round can definitely be a lucrative one, be careful with that gamble feature and best of luck with the progressive jackpot. Definitely worth giving a go.
