Esqueleto Explosivo

The wombat says: Thunderkick slot Esqueleto Explosivo is based on the Day of the Dead celebrated in Mexico and other countries in Central and South America. These geniuses are the people behind the amazing Toki Time slot and Babushkas.

These sugar skulls are therefore the basic symbols of Esqueleto Explosivo Video Slot. They all come in different colours and patterns, being the turquoise skull, the yellow skull, the blue, moustache one, the green skull with a flower, and the pink skull with a rose in its mouth.

Celebrating Your Ancestors with the Boners
Anyway, on the Day of the Dead, people remember friends and family who have died and cook up gifts of sugar skulls and other snacks for the dead to enjoy – just in case the souls of their loved ones decide to pop in for a cuppa that day.

Meet Enrico Mortis and his famous mariachi band, The Boners, who celebrate the Day of the Dead by exploding their heads off to give you some chunky wins.

Hence the name; Esqueleto Explosivo – which is Spanish for Exploding Skeleton. If this is all too much for you, try the Joker Pro slot machine for a more traditional game!

Look and Feel

‘Bari-bara, orrrrie, guitarra, aa-aa, ai-ia, la-la-la, ii-ii’ – that’s the delightful ditty that The Boners sing as they (quite literally) lose their heads on the reels.

This wombat is a fan of the cheerful Mexican fiesta music and was singing along with the dead Mariachi band in no time. So a thumbs up for the soundtrack…

Superb Graphics
The graphics are good too, and this nicely animated slot is set in a Mexican pueblo with tequila, candlelight shrines, flowers and guitars in the background. The reels are made up of 5-guitar playing skeletons (hang on, one has a trumpet) and as you start to spin, brightly-coloured and heavily moustachioed Sugar Skulls pile up on top of each other to create the reels AND to make combos on its lines.

Nice work Thunderkick, the best thing we’ve seen since the Turning Totems slot! What do you feed your designers?

Game Play

With 5 reels and 17 pay-lines Esqueleto Explosivo slot uses dropping symbols instead of symbols that spin. This means that winning icons from each winning combo disappear, and are immediately replaced by new ones.

Multiple Chances to Win per Spin
Which gives you the chance to win more than once on EVERY single spin, nice! Plus, with each consecutive win, the Mucho Multiplier goes up a notch, starting at x2, then x4 and x8, and goes on until 32x – if you get really lucky!

Your symbols on the reels are the different band members, the dark blue skull with the massive tache, the light blue skull with all its teeth missing, the green lady skull with a flower in her hair (?), the orange skull and the romantic pink skull with the rose between his teeth.

Go Pink
The ladies man pink Sugar Skull will pay out most the most, giving you 2.5x your bet.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Explosivo Wild symbol, too – it’s the yellow skull dude in aviator sun glasses that will automatically blow up the closest 8 symbols next to it when it lands, replacing them with a fresh batch of sugar skull symbols.

Conclusion

Who said you can sleep when you’re dead? This band of happy skeletons are party mad, and prove that you can have fun even if you’re no longer alive. There are no Free Spins or bonuses here, it’s all about the multipliers and exploding wild symbols instead, but we like the simple and rewarding game play.

Give it a spin, and even if skeleton Mariachi bands aren’t your thing, they soon will be!

Wombat score: 5/5

Super, Super bueno!

A sugar skull, a common gift for children and decoration for the Day of the Dead.

A calavera [plural: calaveras] (Spanish – pronounced [kalaˈβeɾa] for 'skull') is a representation of a human skull. The term is most often applied to edible or decorative skulls made (usually by hand) from either sugar (called Alfeñiques) or clay that are used in the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos) and the Roman Catholic holiday All Souls' Day. Calavera can also refer to any artistic representations of skulls, such as the lithographs of José Guadalupe Posada. The most widely known calaveras are created with cane sugar and are decorated with items such as colored foil, icing, beads, and feathers. They range in multiple colors.^[1]

Traditional methods for producing calaveras have been in use since the 1630s.^[2] The skulls are created either for children or as offerings to be placed on altars known as ofrendas for the Día de Muertos, which has roots in the Aztec, Mayan, and Toltec cultural celebration of the Day of the Dead.^[3]

The tradition of sugar skulls is for families to decorate their loved ones' ofrendas with both large and small handmade sugar skulls.^[4] Children who have died, represented by small sugar skulls, are celebrated on November 1. The larger sugar skulls represent the adults, whose celebration takes place on November 2. It is believed that the departed return home to enjoy the offering on the altar.^[5]

In pre-Columbian times the images of skulls and skeletons were shown often in paintings, pottery, etc. representing rebirth into the next stage of life. During the 20th century a political caricaturist named José Guadalupe Posada became famous for making Calaveras as vain skeletons dressed in the clothing of the wealthy. The most famous one was Catrina, wearing a feathery hat, fancy shoes and a long dress. Catrina is considered to be the personification of The Day of the Dead.^[3] These skeletons are created from many materials such as wood, sugar paste varieties, types of nuts, chocolate, etc. When used as offerings, the name of the deceased is written across the forehead of the skull on colored foil.

Production[edit]

Sugar skulls before decoration.

Traditional production methods have been in use since roughly the 15th century. The process involves using molds to cast the calaveras. Production can be a lengthy process: a craftsman will usually spend roughly four to six months producing the skulls for a season. Traditionally made sugar skulls are considered folk art and are not meant to be consumed.^[2]

The production process is more focused on the aesthetic appeal of the skull than on the taste or food safety of the product. Furthermore, many calaveras feature inedible decorations, such as beads, feathers, and foil. Some skulls were formerly decorated with sombreros, although these designs have mostly disappeared since the 1970s.^[2]

The calaveras are traditionally sold at outdoor market stalls beginning two weeks before the Day of the Dead.^{[citation needed]}

Other calaveras are produced to be edible. Most are cast as one piece from cane sugar, which can either be left unflavored or else flavored with vanilla.^[6] Some calaveras are also made from chocolate. The calaveras are typically colored with vegetable dyes. As with the more decorative calaveras, these will sometimes have names written on the foreheads, as well. Calaveras may be eaten, or kept for a few days and then thrown away.^{[citation needed]}

Clay skulls[edit]

Clay toy variations of calaveras also resemble the shape of human skulls. These toys are often painted a metallic silver color, but they may also be found in colors such as white, black, and red. Beaded eyes of many colors may also be added for decoration.^{[citation needed]}

Literary calaveras[edit]

Poetry written for the Day of the Dead are known as literary calaveras, and are intended to humorously criticize the living while reminding them of their mortality.^[7]^[8] Literary calaveras appeared during the second half of the 19th century, when drawings critical of important politicians began to be published in the press. Living personalities were depicted as skeletons exhibiting recognizable traits, making them easily identifiable. Additionally, drawings of dead personalities often contained text elements providing details of the deaths of various individuals.

Face painting[edit]

Sugar Skull Clothing Stores

Sometimes known as 'sugar skull' make-up, or Catrina make-up, facepainting a skull with ornate elements is a popular element of Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico.^[9]^[10] Its use as a Halloween costume has been criticised as cultural appropriation.^[11]
