Skulls Gone Wild slot machine: features
Few slots can be said to be more colorful and animated than Skulls Gone Wild! The background shows a Mexican town where the most important festival of popular tradition, Dia de los Muertos, is taking place. There are many decorations that enliven the atmosphere: besides the festoons, traditional dolls and candles stand out in the lower part, which are placed next to photos of deceased loved ones: these photos are extremely important because if a photo isn't displayed, the dead cannot return to dance and celebrate! The soundtrack is equally lively, perfect for the proposed atmosphere. Betting starts from €0.10 and the highest bet is €50.
Among the icons provided by the rules that alternate on the reels are:
- Skull with roses, which pays up to 250x;
- Bald skull, which pays up to 250x;
- Female skull, which pays up to 200x;
- A green skull, which pays up to 200x.
The icons with lower payouts, ranging from 5x to maximum 50x, represent other typical symbols of this festival: a kitten, a sombrero, a guitar, and yellow flowers. A unique characteristic of this slot is that wins with 5 aligned symbols are calculated from both sides.

Pros and cons of the Skulls Gone Wild slot
Skulls Gone Wild by NetGaming is simply explosive. By activating the Respin feature, you can enjoy a large number of free spins, because it's really difficult, with the proposed bonuses, not to achieve at least one winning combination. The slot's RTP is quite high and even with high volatility, the gameplay isn't too intimidating. Graphics and soundtrack are well done, although the latter is a bit repetitive and during longer sessions might disturb those who want to enjoy the action on the reels.
