Pragmatic Play launches new Mexican-themed slot 'Big Juan'

Pragmatic Play has released its latest Mexican-inspired game, called Big Juan, announced the iGaming content provider on Friday. It is described as “a fiery fun-filled fiesta” which offers high-volatility action and exciting bonus round features.

Residing on the left-hand side of the screen, a hospitable depiction of the Big Juan character overlooks gameplay, while traditional-looking streets fill the space behind the colorful reels. This becomes more visible during the Free Spins.

The joyful theme creates an atmosphere of celebration, explains the company in a press release. This is exemplified by the decorations in the town, musical instruments, and playful symbols, including a guitar, piñata, hot sauce, and even Big Juan himself.

One of the game’s highlights is its unique Wild Switch feature: when six or more of the same symbol lands across the 2nd, 3rd and 4th reels, all the symbols involved turn into Wild symbols, which promise the player bigger wins.

Another key feature is the Free Spins bonus. Landing the Piñata symbol three to five times takes players to a 3x3 set of reels, providing them with 10 to 15 respins and a Bag of Coins symbol placed in the middle of the reels. Players can win Extra symbols, Coin symbols, or one of the four fixed jackpots ranging from Mini to Grand, awarding players up to 2500x their stake.

Big Juan can show you some big wins! 🙌
