Free slot: Narcos Mexico

How Narcos Mexico works

Everyone remembers the Narcos slot machine, an online game designed by the provider NetEnt directly inspired by the eponymous series. Well, now it's Narcos Mexico that will have the right to have a slot with its effigy. The provider Red Tiger has developed and published this slot machine which is available in many online casinos since March 24th 2022. Head to Mexico on Narcos Mexico! You will find in this incredible creation all the elements that made the success of this cult series on Netflix. Indeed, you will arrive in the middle of a war between 4 drug traffickers who are at the head of several Mexican cartels. It will take a lot of courage to try to get between these dangerous criminals who have been reigning terror for many years. As far as the setting of this slot is concerned, it takes you under the Mexican sun and the plot takes place on the outskirts of a sumptuous villa, more precisely on a driveway decorated with palm trees. As far as the operation of Narcos Mexico is concerned, there is a classic 5x3 starting grid. You will have to win by connecting between 3 and 5 identical symbols in an adjacent way. This extremely volatile slot machine also offers a very original bonus feature that features a completely different grid. We'll come back to these free spins in detail, which can win you huge amounts of money.

A slot machine as interesting as Narcos Mexico obviously contains many features that will make your gaming experience even better. In fact, during the paying spins, there is a symbol represented by explosives with a scorpion on top. This symbol serves as a wild and can replace any classic or premium symbol. In order for it to appear, the Supply Drop feature must be activated. When it does, a plane will fly over the grid and land several wilds that can only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4.

The Double Cash feature can also be found during the base game of Narcos Mexico. This feature can intervene randomly after a win and will double the amount won! Finally, there is the Win Exchange feature that allows you to exchange your potential winnings for free spins. In fact, if you win a sum of money between 30 and 100 times the starting bet, then you can put this win back into play to try to access the Narcos Mexico bonus. A wheel will appear and if the indicator falls on a green segment, you will reach the free spins. However, if the cursor points to a red slot, then you will lose the amount you have wagered. In addition, if you win more than 100 times the initial bet, you can access the bonus and collect the rest of the winnings.

Narcos Mexico Symbols

There are 9 different symbols during the pay spins in Narcos Mexico, which you need to connect to win. Each symbol has its own value that is set in advance by the developers, and we have to admit that the potential payouts are quite low in this slot. Once again, there are two distinct categories: classic symbols and premium symbols. We will first look at the classic symbols which will appear more frequently than the other symbols, which is why they are easier to connect. To restore the balance of the slot, these symbols are the least profitable. They are represented by the strongest values in a deck of cards, namely 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace. The payout range for these symbols is shown below for a starting bet of €1.

In the online casino world, premium symbols are also called high value symbols because they are the symbols that usually pay the most. This is once again the case at Narcos Mexico, however these premium symbols are rarer and therefore harder to connect. They are represented by characters from the series, including:

• The trafficker on a red background

• The trafficker on green background

• The trafficker on a blue background

• Dealer on purple background

The following image shows the payout range of all the premium symbols in Narcos Mexico. The values shown below are for a starting bet of €1.

The different connections of Narcos Mexico

As you can see, the objective of Narcos Mexico is to make connections of 3 to 5 identical symbols. Usually, 5x3 slots contain multiple paylines on which classic or premium symbols must be positioned for a connection to be valid. Here, the game is completely different as the connections in this slot are adjacent, which means that wins will be made as soon as the same symbol is present on at least the first 3 reels, its place on the column being irrelevant. This ways system allows you to benefit from 243 ways in each round of play. We remind you that the longer a connection is, the more you will win and we specify that the starting grid of this slot is read only from left to right. In the following image you will find an example of a valid connection on the left and an example of an invalid connection on the right.

Narcos Mexico Bonus Feature

The Narcos Mexico slot machine allows players trying their luck on this slot to reach a bonus feature where free spins are awarded. To access these free spins, there are several options available to you. Firstly, you will have to see 3 scatters appear during the same pay spin, represented by Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, the Mexican trafficker who acts as a mediator in the series. You also have the possibility of reaching the free spins by exchanging a win of more than 100 times your initial bet for the bonus, or to bet a win of between 30 and 100 times the initial bet.

As explained in the introduction, the starting grid during the Narcos Mexico bonus has absolutely nothing to do with the one present in the base game. During the free spins, you will find a 10x10 grid format, and the classic and premium symbols will be removed from the reels. The operation is also completely different. Each cartel leader is located in the corners of the grid. At the beginning of the bonus, the grid is completely emptied and only valuable and special symbols may appear. These will be collected and locked if they appear adjacent to one of the cartel leaders. The objective will be to collect as many value symbols as possible, as these will be collected and will constitute your total multiplier at the end of the free spins. At the beginning of the bonus, you will be awarded 3 free spins and if a symbol appears on the grid, then the free spins counter will be reset. The bonus ends when 3 consecutive free spins are lost. There is a symbol represented by an airplane that can affect the multipliers of a cartel by landing adjacent to a value symbol, either horizontally or vertically. When this happens, the airplane adds +2 to all multipliers of the cartel concerned. A telephone can appear in the same way as the airplane and will multiply all the values of a cartel by 2. Finally, if a value symbol appears adjacent to two cartels, then a fight takes place between the two leaders. The winner takes the territory and money symbols of the loser!
