Lucha Legends slot review (MicroGaming)

Lucha Legends is a Microgaming slot, and as the case with almost any other game from this slots provider, it is about 2 years late to the party

Slots about the famous masked Mexican wrestlers were hip a long time ago until every self-respecting slots provider released their own wrestling game.

Thunderkick started a trend with Luchadora. Yggdrasil followed with Lucha Maniacs, and iSoftbet also gave it a try with Nacho Libre.

And now it is finally time for Microgaming to release their Mexican wrestling slot.

Is it original? Not by a long shot.

Is it any fun? You bet!

We dove in the wrestling ring for you and came out black and blue.

We did, however, test Lucha Legends to perfection. And, we entertained ourselves.

How does the Lucha Legends slot work?

Lucha Legends is a colourful video slot from Microgaming where 5 masked Mexican wrestlers are at the centre. They are divided into 4 symbols since 1 symbol consists of twins.

The game is played on 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols. There are 25 fixed paylines, and the minimum bet is $€ 0.25 per spin.

Placing an additional bet is possible. This bet doubles the wager, and you will also unlock extra boosters. This wins you the Wild boosters more often, and the maximum multiplier goes up from 3 x to 5 x.

The maximum wager without an extra bet is $€ 37.50 per spin, and with the super bet active, it is $€ 75 per spin.

The theoretical payout rate is 96.38%. The variance is low to medium.

Symbols and payouts

The premium symbols consist of the 4 (+1) masked wrestlers. They carry impressive names: Burro (the Donkey), Sal & Pepe (salt and pepper), El Diablo (the devil) and Martio (the beast).

5 of these wrestlers on an active payline amounts to 12 x the total bet (based on, no active super bet).

The medium paying symbols consist of the referee and the scoreboard girl.  A 5-of-a-kind of medium symbols awards you 6 x the total bet.

The low (card) symbols J, Q, K and A are worth 3 x to 4 x the total bet, still based on a normal bet, without a super bet.

The Mucha Legends symbol is the wild symbol and can change into a ‘super’ wild at random moments.

Super Wilds

Any time a wild can change into a Super Wild. Then, 1 of the 4 wrestlers comes into the picture and shows his “signature move”, his trademark.

That gets you extra wilds, extra multipliers or both.

Free spins bonus

3 blue championship belts award you 10 free spins.

During these free spins, you have another chance to earn Super Wild boosters, that can set you up with some very lovely rewards, if you are lucky.

Two scatters during the free spins bonus get you +1 free spin, and three scatters are good for +10 free spins.

What do we think of the Lucha Legends slot machine?

This Lucha Legends video slot from Microgaming has taken us by surprise.

Admittedly, we are secretly very devoted to this kind of Mexican wrestling slot machines. In fact, Thunderkick’s Luchadora is one of our favourite slots.

Microgaming did a great job designing the Lucha Legends game, and you can win the Super Wilds very regularly. Because you have 4 different wrestlers, each with their speciality, it does not get boring quickly, despite the low variance.

The payout percentage of 96.38% is quite good.

3.8 stars out of 5.
