What a Hot Fiesta win looks like

The purple piñata wild can land on any reel and stands in for everything except the fireworks scatter. Each one carries a x2, x3 or x5 multiplier, and if two or more wilds join the same win their multipliers are added: a x3 and a x5 wild on one line make x8. The top symbol pays 30x your bet for five on a line before any multiplier.

The piñata free spins

Three fireworks scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 pay 3x your bet and open a 3×3 grid of piñatas. They burst to reveal numbers, and the total, anywhere from 9 to 27, is how many free spins you get.

In the round, every wild that lands becomes sticky, keeps its multiplier and moves to a random position on each spin. Up to 3 new wilds can land per spin, so a long round can end with a screen full of wilds. Scatters do not appear during the feature, so there are no retriggers, and the round stops early if a win reaches the 5,000x cap.

Is the Ante Bet worth it?

The Ante Bet raises your stake by 40% (a 1.00 spin costs 1.40) and doubles your chance of landing the free spins. Since the moving sticky wilds in the bonus are the main reason to play Hot Fiesta, it suits players who would rather see the feature more often. If you play it, set your budget on the higher stake, not the base one.
