Taco Tuesday Slot Review

Taco Tuesday is strong with its Mexican food theme - even the reels are made of tortilla wraps. You can see a stream of red, white, and green flags. There is a real opportunity for an upbeat salsa soundtrack, perhaps recreating the energy of the famous Mexican hat dance song. Unfortunately, there is no music to speak of, just some automated reel spinning sounds. 

The symbols are a set of poker royalty, from Ace to Jack. They are colourful, and each contains a reference to Mexico in the form of a cactus, a maraca, and a sombrero. Otherwise, crucial ingredients such as avocado and hot sauce are present as higher-paying symbols. 

The most valuable symbol is the Logo; it will return 41x your stake when you match five along a payline. This symbol is also the Wild, substituting for any other to help complete a win.

Two different scatters trigger different bonus features. One depicts a chicken, while the other displays a Mexican man.

All tacos benefit from a little extra flavour. Let’s take a look at the Taco Tuesday bonus features on offer.

Free Spins Feature

Landing three of the Chicken Scatter symbols awards 10 free spins. During the spins, reels one and five are stacked with Wilds.

Pancho Pays Feature

Landing three of the man Scatters launches this feature with 10 spins. During these spins, the Scatter symbol pays out 2x for 1, 15x for two, and 25x for one.

Card Gamble Feature

Following a win in the main game, you have the option to risk your winnings by trying to predict the colour of the upcoming card in a deck. If you guess correctly, your winnings will be doubled. However, if you guess incorrectly, you will lose your winnings, and the game will end.

Ladder Gamble Feature

In the ladder gamble game, players can click the 1:1 button to determine if they will advance or descend on the ladder. Moving up will boost your winnings, while moving down will reduce them. The game concludes once you reach the highest or lowest rung. You have the option to collect your winnings at any point by clicking on the rung below your current position.

Despite sounding incredibly delicious, Taco Tuesday ends up seriously lacking in flavour. The maths model is very underwhelming, with the 1,250x maximum win being a big disappointment. Other than this, the game’s restrictive betting range and basic design are also not going to attract players. The game does deserve some credit for its bonuses, with the Wild Stacks in the Free Spins round creating some good winning potential, but this is not enough to earn this slot a recommendation.
