Puebla Parade

Ready your dance moves because we’re spending the whole day dancing in Puebla Parade slot! Play’n GO takes us back to the 1860s in Mexico when Cinco de Mayo was commemorated after their win at the Battle of Puebla. The game is inspired by the Mexican culture’s festive symbology from the graphics, visuals, and soundtracks. Its expanding reels and pay lines come with average payouts and high volatility.

Puebla Parade slot features

Puebla Parade starts with a default 5×4 grid layout that expands with up to 7 rows as you progress in the game. It doesn’t have a lot of features so its gameplay is focused on the Wild symbols, Respins, and Bonus Spins.

Wild Symbols

This slot doesn’t have a Bonus or Scatter symbol but it has 2 Wild symbols that parade on the reels. Thus, it is up to the Wild symbols to turn up the heat in Puebla Parade. These special symbols appear as the Señor Wild and Señorita Wild characters in their traditional colorful Mexican clothes. The Señor and Señorita Wild symbols substitute for any paying symbol to help you form more winning combinations on pay lines.

These Wild symbols also appear anywhere to make their winning cluster and give the same prize. But if you land both the Señor and Señorita Wild symbols on the same spin, the pair are locked on the grid. These locked Wild symbols turn into Walking Wilds.

Respins

Aside from triggering the Walking Wilds, landing the 2 types of Wild symbols on a single spin triggers 2 Respins. The sticky Walking Wilds move around the reels during the Respins or Bonus Spins. The Respin count returns to 2 whenever you land another Wild symbol during the Respin feature.

Pareja Wild Symbols

If the Señor and Señorita Wild symbols joined forces during the Respins, the 2 symbols create a pair of dancers. This is called the Pareja Wild symbol that shows the couple as a single symbol. Once created, the Pareja Wild symbol comes with a 2x Multiplier value. This symbol also increases the height of the reels by 1+ with up to a maximum of 7 rows.

Bonus Spins

Three Pareja Wild symbols that land on a single spin during the Respins combine to trigger the bonus round. The Bonus Spins round starts with 8 Bonus Spins while the Pareja Wild symbols are upgraded from 2x into 3x Multipliers. Moreover, the upgraded Pareja Wild symbols also become Walking or Roaming Wilds that move around the grid during the Bonus Spins.

The Walking Wilds continue to move into a new position on each Bonus Spin. Even the upgraded reel height you achieved during the Respins feature is called into the Bonus Spins round.

Puebla Parade RTP, volatility and prizes

This game is played with 421 pay lines where winning combinations are formed with 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels. All winnings are also paid from left to right after a minimum bet of £0.05 up to a maximum of £100.  Expect some dry spins sometimes since Puebla Parade has high volatility with a 7/10 rating.

This depends on the market so always check the machine’s RTP first. Play’n GO used regular paying symbols and flexible Wild symbols with 1 out of 1,000,000,000 maximum win probability.

This leads to the maximum win of 5,000x the stake on each spin. Its low-paying symbols consist of the Royal symbols 9, 10, J, K, Q, and A that are worth 0.6x for 5 matching symbols. Meanwhile, its high-paying symbols consist of Mexican-inspired symbols like the Tortilla Dip, Taco, Guitar, Piñata, and Skull. These symbols are worth 0.8x to 4x while the Señor and Señorita Wild symbols are worth 4x the stake for matching 5 symbols.
