If anything can be said about the BetMGM iGaming sites, it’s that they pack a lot of variety into the program. Often, that variety changes with the season, with unique game mixes and special promotions.
For instance, BetMGM routinely offers up mixes of slot themes to match the season. This week, it’s games with Mexican themes to match next week’s Cinco De Mayo celebration. Money Mariachi Fiesta Infinity Reels, from developer ReelPlay, is packed with special bonus features.
The Mexican-themed slot is based largely around the “Day of the Dead” Mexican festival. It is a scatter-pay format. At least five matching symbols are required to form a winning combination, starting from the leftmost reel. The first six symbols are low/mid values consisting of bouquets, glowing objects, hats, maracas, gravestones, and candles, all done in fluorescent colors to keep in with the theme. Four characters make up the high pays, which also appear during a re-spin feature as the special symbols. A guitar wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols.
Game Play
The base game starts on a three-reel, four-row grid. Whenever a win registers, including the right-most reel, another reel is added to the grid. If the next spin registers a right-hand win, the process repeats until no wins are registered involving the reel on the right. Also, when a reel is added, a multiplier applied to all wins goes to 2X, doubling all pays. The multiplier goes up by one with each additional reel.
The Infinity Bonus is a payout of 888 times the bet if 12 or more reels are added in a single game round.
“Level Up Respins” are triggered when three or more Shrine symbols appear on a spin. Three respins are awarded, with the Shrine symbols locked in place as cash symbols. A standard hold-and-spin sequence ensues, with the spin meter returning to three with every additional cash-on-reels Shrine symbol. When a reel fills with the Shrine symbols, another reel is added to the matrix.
Other Mexican-themed games offered for Cinco de Mayo include Chilli Picante Megaways and Taco Fury XXXtreme.
Baseball Bonanza
Speaking of seasons, how about baseball season?
BetMGM in Pennsylvania has ongoing promotions during baseball season linked to the state’s two Major League teams. Philadelphia Phillies fans who opt into a special promo get a $5 Casino Bonus to use on the themed game Philadelphia Phillies Slingo when Phillies pitchers strike out 10 or more batters in a home game. The promotion bonus can be claimed once a week.
Pittsburgh Pirates fans earn a $5 Casino Bonus to be used on the themed slot game Pittsburgh Pirates LuckyTap when the Pirates hit two or more home runs at the Bucs’ PNC Park. Like the Phillies promo, the bonus can be claimed once a week.
These specially themed games and promotions are augmented by BetMGM’s ongoing promotions, including a welcome offer specially designed for poker players. Members who sign up for a BetMGM Poker Account receive a 100 percent deposit match up to $1,000, plus up to $85 in Tournament Tickets to be used on the site’s scheduled tournaments.
