Beautiful Bones Slot Review

The brand new Beautiful Bones slot from Microgaming is a celebration of the famous Spanish celebration Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead) and it is perhaps most well recognised from being featured at the start of the recent James Bond film Spectre. So how does Microgaming try to turn this festival of the passed on into a slot for the living? Let’s take a closer look and find out.

Beautiful Bones Top Bonus Features

  • Wild Spin Again feature – This is a great feature which triggers when you manage to hit a three of a kind winning combination on the reels. The middle position of that win then becomes Wild and you are given a free re-spin of the remaining reels with the Wild held in place, offering you the chance of another win. If multiple symbols trigger wins on that middle position then all the symbols part of the win will be held in place and turned into Wild symbols
  • Sugar Skulls Free Spins – This feature triggers differently to most other free spins in that you need to collect Sugar Skill scatters from anywhere on the reels as you play and when you have earned 10 Sugar Skills, you receive 10 free spins with a 3x multiplier. Collect 20 and you get 15 free spins and a 4x multiplier and collect 30 Sugar Skulls and you get the maximum 18 free spins with a 5x multiplier. The player can elect when to trigger the feature depending on how many of the skulls they have collected and which ones are available.

What’s the verdict on Beautiful Bones?

The Beautiful Bones slot is a very nicely and elegantly realised celebration of one of the most important Spanish festivals. The slot is bright, well designed and the symbols on the reels are very nicely drawn up and while they may be unsettling, with the skeletal faces, it is worth remembering that this is a celebration of the dead, not the occult.

There’s the usual Wild symbol on the reels alongside the playing card lows and the higher value symbols are characters associated with the celebrations. The slot plays nicely and has a nice mid-level variance, offering players a chance to win some very tidy sums both in the base game but particularly when you can trigger the free spins features (in particular the higher value free spins).

The Wild Spin again feature is a great option too offering you another chance at a win after you have just landed a 3-symbol win on the reels. While this doesn’t really offer the chance of huge wins across the reels the majority of the time, you can still pick up some valuable additional wins when the feature triggers.
