No longer able to resist the call of the ring Microgaming have thrown on a mask and back flipped into the action with their latest slot, Lucha Legends! This slot machine sports five colourful masked Luchadores whose outrageous antics and special wrestling moves will unlock zany bonus features and have you trying to pin down some big wins!
Bold and Exciting, Welcome to Lucha Legends
In keeping with the magical world of Lucha Libre every aspect of this new slot is bright, rich and over the top! David Reynolds, Games Publisher at Microgaming, is a big fan of the theme and design style of Lucha Legends:
"Lucha Legends is a fun and vibrant slot that taps into the global popularity of professional Mexican wrestling, capturing the drama and excitement with several big-hitting features. This is a beautifully animated game designed to deliver round after round of action and entertainment."
We found the music to be instantly recognisable with a distinctly Mexican flavour, only with the pomp and sass turned up to eleven! The score ranges from funny and energetic with a driving rhythm and pealing trumpets to a more sedate almost sexy sound which adds to the humour, given the subject matter of the casino game.
The graphics are bold and cartoony, with the five heroes of the game decked out in vibrant reds, blues, greens and more. Each one distinct in design style, size and posture – this is a line of five Luchadores that promises action and entertainment.
The five Luchadores who make up the high-value symbols are:
✓ El Diablo – Clad in the red of his namesake this daunting villain with the giant mustachio sets the Wilds on fire!
✓ Burro – This good-natured corn munching blue Luchador body slams errant Wilds into submission!
✓ Martio – This green-clad human mountain is known for his deep chuckle and power punching Wilds into big wins!
✓ Sal & Pepe – What they lose in size they make up in teamwork! Watch as they tag team Wilds for your entertainment!No wrestling match would be complete without a referee, a ring girl and a championship belt, Lucha Legends is no different. In addition to the obligatory filled symbols of A, K, Q and J, you will also find Violeta the lovely ring girl and making sure no one strays too far beyond the “rules”, Ricco the referee!
Finally, the gold championship belt symbol acts as the Scatter symbol and is the one that unlocks the Free Spins feature!
Action-Packed Features Rule the Ring
Lucha Legends is a 25 payline 5x3 reel slot with the potential to appeal to a large selection of players. The betting range is from as little as €0.25 up to a sizeable €75.00 per spins!

Super Wilds Feature
Whenever there is a Wild symbol on the reels, regardless of if it’s a winning payline or not, there is the chance that one of our five high flying Luchadores will spring into action with their signature wrestling move and activate the Super Wilds feature.
This feature sees a Wild converted to a Super Wild, and triggers one of the following events:
1. The Super Wild feature will add two additional Wilds to the reels.
2. The total win for this game will receive a randomly applied 2x or 3x multiplier.Power Up Mode
This feature is not one that is triggered by a game mechanic, rather you choose to engage it during Super Wilds. The reason is that it does offer a series of benefits it also doubles the current stake per spin! So if you’re playing on a budget keep an eye on this feature.
The benefits of selecting Power Up Mode are:
1. Super Wilds expand from only adding two Wilds to adding 4 additional Wilds to the reels!
2. The bonus win multiplier is increased to either 3x or 5x your win!Free Spins
