Bloody Pesos Slot Review

Slot review: Bloody Pesos

Bloody Pesos drops me straight into a dusty cartel hideout, with a villa in the background, sirens in the distance and a hip hop beat holding it all together. The reels feel packed with shady cargo, from chickens and skulls to briefcases of cash and twitchy gangsters. The whole thing has that slightly tongue in cheek crime flavour, yet the stakes feel serious once the Mystery Stacks start rolling through the grid.

As someone who has put a fair few spins through similar high risk titles, Bloody Pesos feels instantly familiar. The whole game is built around those stacked Mystery Symbols, respins and free spins, very much in the Razor Shark mould, only wrapped in a different skin. It comes across as unapologetically volatile, with long dry spells followed by sharp bursts of action when the stacks and multipliers line up across several reels.

Bloody Pesos Slot Overview

Bloody Pesos runs on a 5 reel, 4 row layout with 20 fixed paylines paying from the leftmost reel, so it is pretty straightforward to follow once you get used to the pace. Stakes range from 0.20 up to 70 per spin, which covers most bankrolls. The main maths profile is a 96% RTP paired with super high volatility and a hit rate around 29%, capped by a hefty maximum win of 90,000 times your stake.

Bloody Pesos Slot Information

In Bloody Pesos the action takes place in a sun baked desert town, with the reels sat in front of the cartel compound, smoke rising and trucks rolling past in the distance. The slot runs smoothly on mobile, tablet and desktop, and the pay system is simple enough, with wins landing when you hit three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the far left, lining up along any of the 20 paylines.

The low paying symbols in Bloody Pesos are the chicken, the police badge, the trunk of cash and the skull, which all pay 2.5 times your bet for a full line of five. Premium symbols are the blue cop, the green gangster, the pink gangster and the orange cartel boss, paying between 5 and 25 times your stake for five of a kind. Payouts feel modest, so you are usually waiting on features or multipliers to do the heavy lifting.

Wild symbols in Bloody Pesos can land on all five reels and substitute for every regular pay symbol, while a full wild line pays 50 times your bet, which is about as strong as it gets from the regular table. On top of that you have Mystery Symbols, standard scatters and Police Truck scatters, each with its own job. These special icons are tied directly to respins, Bullet Storm coin wins and the Cartel Carnage free spins bonus.

Bloody Pesos Slot Features

The main feature in Bloody Pesos is the stacked Mystery Symbols system. Mystery Stacks land fully stacked in sets of four on any reel, both in the base game and in free spins, and always trigger the Smuggle and Uncover respin feature. With each respin those stacks nudge down by one position, revealing a fresh batch of matching symbols every time, either regular pays or Police Truck scatters, until the final stack drops off the bottom of the grid.

When a Police Truck scatter appears within a Mystery Stack, Bloody Pesos triggers Bullet Storm, and every active mystery position spins individually for either a coin showing a bet multiplier from 1x up to 2,500x, or another scatter. Hit three or more scatters in view and you enter Cartel Carnage free spins, with reels two and four packed with Mystery Stacks and a global win multiplier that climbs by one each time stacks hit on rows above the bottom row.

Our verdict: Bloody Pesos

For me Bloody Pesos lands as a very punchy cartel themed reworking of that familiar Mystery Stack formula, with serious power tucked behind the Bullet Storm coins and Cartel Carnage multipliers. The OnlyWins side bet, which doubles the stake for a 99.99 per cent hit chance, keeps the base game lively, and the 50x feature buy lets you jump straight into the bonus, though the extreme volatility means swings can be brutal on a cold session.
