Maracaibo Slots
Summer won’t be around forever, and for those days when it feels like the sunshine will never be seen again, a lot of us need a pick-me-up to get us through the day. While you can indulge in a lot of relaxing ‘you time’, there’s nothing quite like capturing the spirit of vacations and gazing at sunlit shorelines.
Holiday blues or not, playing Maracaibo from WorldMatch will make all your problems melt away, and leave you feeling like you’ve just sunbathed the day away rather than looked out at bleak, rainy weather. Think palm trees, toucans and coconut drinks and you’ll have the right idea.
Vibrant, carefree and fun, this oasis will give you a respite from the everyday grind and transport you to an isolated beach devoted to you and a mouth watering 2,500 coins payout. Think of all the margaritas you can get with that kind of cash!
Soaking up the Sun
Catching those rays and topping up your tan is pretty easy thanks to all the accessories Maracaibo provides for you - from flip flops to beverages to feathered companions, you’re sure to look the part when wandering the shores of this slot machine.
Even the icons that aren’t traditionally holiday orientated have donned exotic flowers and parasols to help them fit in. Although seeing more generic looking symbols may disappoint some users, the way WorldMatch has integrated them has still managed to make them feel individualised, and as such the gameplay still remains multidimensional. Especially with those steel drums rhythmically playing.
There are 11 different symbols in total, which is pretty standard for the brand, and as expected some are worth more than others. The wild, free spins and bonus game icons are where your special features will come into play, and as for the base game, the green parrot is your biggest money gain at 2,500 coins for five matches. Poor number 9 is probably the tile you least want to see on your reels, for it’ll only get you a maximum of 75 credits. Still, every penny counts on your journey to potential riches.
When it comes to your free spins, you’ll always be awarded the same number with only the amount of credits altering with each winning combo increase: three icons will get you 10 coins, four will deliver you 25, and five will gift you a much nicer 100 credits.
The bonus game can only happen once per spin, and will need you to get at least three of the symbols anywhere along your reels, which let's face it, is more than simple enough! Once you manage this you’ll be given the choice of three islands, upon them three different types of objects, select the object you want to find out how much you win.
As always, the wild does what it always does and removes all icons except for the bonus and free spins, a standard format in most slot machines, not only WorldMatch ones.
The Cost of a Good Holiday
Betting on Maracaibo is nice and easy, and is very giving in regards to diversity – budgets can be tight around vacation time and so you can bet between 0.01 to 1 credit, with the option to try out the max bet feature if you’re feeling lucky.
When you’re paid up and have decided how you want to play - all in or cautiously - you can spin and stop to your heart’s desire until you land on that jackpot.
Good Getaway or Holiday Nightmare?
Honestly, it’s a bit of both with this one: the gameplay is decent, the payout is decent, the graphics are decent, even the music is decent. It’s all.. decent. It just lacks impact when compared with similar themes also on the market.
That being said, with WorldMatch you know you’re playing with a respected and well established brand, not to mention they have a fairly staple format that translates well from title to title, meaning you can adapt with ease. Maracaibo is one you should give a try if low to medium variance is your kind of gig when it comes to slot machines.
