From now till May 5, Mexican themed video slots will dominate at online casinos on account of Cinco de Mayo. One of the better online slots is La Cucaracha. It is a NextGen Gaming product available at Wager Gaming Technology powered online casinos like Liberty Slots.

La Cucaracha translates as the cockroach as is apparent from the symbols on the reels. It is on first impression an unusual name for a slot machine. But La Cucaracha is a ballad that became popular during the Mexican Revolution. The symbols in the slot game have a comical aspect. The cockroach is the scatter symbol. It is wearing a sombrero and carrying a guitar and a pair of maracas. It awards payouts multiplied by the total bet when two or more appear anywhere on the reels. When this happens, the cockroach bursts into a song, possibly La Cucaracha. The red chilli is the wild symbol and it substitutes for other symbols to make winning combinations.

The highest line payout is awarded by the cockroach larva in a glass of tequila. Five of this symbol in an active payline award 5000 times the line bet. This indicates high volatility in the online slot, especially as the other symbols pay out considerably less. The other thematic symbols are a pair of maracas, tacos, and cactus. These are followed by the usual playing card icons.

There are two bonus features in La Cucaracha online slot game. Three or more cockroach symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the free spins bonus. You will be awarded 10 free spins in which all payouts are tripled. The feature will be retriggered if you land three or more scatter symbols in the free spins. The second feature is a bonus game on the second screen. It is triggered when the chilli lands on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the same spin. You have to select three chilli stands in a fair. The chilli-ow-meter rates the chilli from the stands on a value from 1 to 5. You win a bonus amount of up to 100 times your bet depending on the total of the meter readings. If this feature is triggered in the free spins and the total value exceeds 12 then the free spins are retriggered.

La Cucaracha is a selectable 25 paylines online slot game. You have a vast range for the line bet starting from $0.01 and going up to $20.00. The maximum total bet per spin is $500, which will thrill the high rollers.
