Esqueleto Explosivo
This game is no longer available at Monkey Casino. Sorry about that chaps! Why no have a spin on Thunderkick’s Esqueleto Mariachi 2 slot instead?
Mexicans know how to celebrate the Day of the Dead and with Thunderkick Games’ Esqueleto Explosivo or, for those of you who missed their first Spanish lesson at school, ‘Exploding Skeleton’, they can go even further.
This slot comes packed with enough extras to raise the dead with multipliers, dropping symbols and mucho mas!
Thunderkick is one of our favourite game developers. Try the Turning Totems slot machine as well if you have a minute- that’s another classic.
The Basics
The game is set in a shrine to the ancestors in a Mexican town square where in the evening light, five skeletons and an assortment of adorned skulls sit surrounded by candlelight.
It’s your job to roll those reels and stack the high-value skulls up for a chance to cash in and hear some Mexican musical mayhem. The party’s on!
The Graphics

Thunderkick Gaming knows a thing or two about good-looking games and Esqueleto Explosivo is no exception. The graphics are picture-perfect and full of bright colours- just as you’d expect from these crazy celebrations.
It’s the kind of thing we’ve come to expect from Thunderkick. ELK Studios is also gifted in this area- check out their Birthday slot machine for instance if you want to play a smart-dressed game.
And the soundtrack? Well, the background sounds to the play are 100% fiesta with fireworks, the sounds of the crowd, the music of a traditional mariachi band and dogs barking.
Esqueleto Explosivo Slot Game Play
Esqueleto Explosivo is a five reel, 3 row and 17 fixed pay-line online slot party that can be played across all of your devices. That’s unusual in itself as most games we see have 20 (like the Go Bananas slot machine) or 25 lines. But Thunderkick likes to stand out from the crowd!
At the base of each of the reels is the body of a mariachi skeleton grasping an instrument. As the reels spin a selection of traditionally decorated skulls come to rest on top, making a three-storey high bone bonanza.
I just love the sounds this game makes.
The high-value icons of the game are a bony bunch, the ancestor’s skulls which are each decorated candy style with bright colours and painted details. The most valuable is the pink skull, followed by the green, blue, orange and turquoise ones.
The game’s Wild is a sunglass-wearing skull with a coiffured hairdo. He looks like he can play the guitar.
Esqueleto Explosivo Bonuses
Esqueleto Explosivo slot offers a Dropping Symbols element which is a cascading symbols feature. After each win, the skulls explode to reveal new skulls beneath which can make for more winning combos.
You might have seen something similar on some of our NetEnt games- Gonzo’s Quest for example.
This means you can make consecutive wins and there’s an increasing Mucho Multiplier feature where the multiplier ramps up every time from 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x up to a bone-shaking, jaw-dropping 32x if you’re able to string together six winning combos back to back.
Then there’s Exploding Wild is a feature worth its weight in Aztec gold. When that Wild with the quiff arrives on the reels he takes out eight icons and these are replaced by new icons to help make you more winning combos. This Explosivo Wild ups the multiplier by x1 each time it lands.
Pros and Cons: Esqueleto Explosivo

The Monkey Verdict
With all of these bright colours, music and features, the Esqueleto Explosivo slot is a total Mexican fiesta with enough bang to bring the roof down and it’s a solid favourite with our players. Its potential 32x multiplier and Dropping Symbols generate more than enough fun to make Monkey Casino’s top slots list. And the best bit? The singing!
