Lucha Legends (Microgaming) – Review & Demo Play

Lucha Legends - Game Information

I sit right by the ring as Microgaming rolls out Lucha Legends with El Diablo, Mario, Burro, Sal and Pepe. They feel strong, wild, and fearless, ready to get into the ring. The setup is 5 reels with 25 paylines, and there’s only one championship belt in sight. It gets a bit scattered on the grid yet stays the ultimate prize. I jump in to see who lifts it, spinning alongside the legends and doubling the fun round after round.

I play with the x2 Power Up on the left when I fancy turning the pace up. Hit it and the bet doubles, the sound runs faster, and the red frame glows yellow under bright lights. The crowd starts to cheer the legends, shouts blending into a latino rhythm as the bout builds. Lucha Legends landed in 2018 from the Games Global stable, and the package still feels sharp when I step into this ring for a proper session.

Muy Caliente on the Reels in Lucha Legends

When Lucha Legends gets Muy Caliente on the reels, I end up close to the ring with the best view. Above the canvas sit Mexican country colours, and below are intriguing pictures with masks. The reels carry desert tones while the symbols burn in fiery shades. Every so often a luchador jumps into the centre and leaves a wild trail. El Diablo has the brains, Mario the brawn, Sal and Pepe play dirty, and Burro enjoys a proper scrap, all kept honest by the referee and ring lady.

Time to Shame the Opponent in Lucha Legends

I take my cue from lucha libre where the aim is to unmask your opponent. In Lucha Legends, Scatter masks trigger the free spins feature. Land 3 masks on reels 1, 3, and 5 to bring 10 free spins. Inside the feature, 2 Scatters award an extra free spin, while 3 masks drop the initial batch again. It’s a tidy loop that keeps the round alive, and I’ve had some neat extensions when the masks line up just right on those specific reels.

When the Lucha Legends logo Wild drops and helps a win in the base game, a Super Wild can randomly trigger. A luchador then leaps in and smashes the Wild, and I get one of two outcomes. Either I see two Wild neighbours appear, or the Super Wild pays with a x3 or x5 multiplier. Substitution symbols sit on reels 2, 3, and 4. That jump only kicks in when a Wild is part of the line, which keeps the mechanic tidy and readable.

Turn the Lights On in Lucha Legends

I flip Power Up Mode on when I want more ring action. Pressing the button increases the odds of seeing Super Wilds. Instead of two Wild adjacent positions, the number of replacement symbols is doubled, so the leap can spread wider when it lands. The bet also doubles, so I time it for streaks and features. With the lights on, the crowd noise and tempo lift, and the whole set feels lively without losing the simple five-by-three, 25 line core.

Symbols in Lucha Legends

I rate the symbol set in Lucha Legends for how it sells the bout. Apart from the wrestlers, you get letters and a couple of special icons. The championship belt acts as the Scatter, while the Lucha Legends logo is the Wild. The referee pops up to keep the action clean, and the ring lady opens new rounds. That mix gives the reels a proper lucha flavour, and I always have a quick glance for belts and logos before each spin fires.

In the feature, every Wild with the potential to create wins is turned into Super Wild. That keeps the pressure on while the spins run down. Substitution symbols settle on reels 2, 3, and 4, so my eyes sit centre stage when the hits start chaining. In the base game, the Super Wild transformation only comes when a Wild helped form the line in the first place, which fits how the wrestlers jump in to steal the moment.

The Super Wild outcomes matter for value. I either get two Wild neighbours added for extra lines, or the Super Wild pays with a x3 or x5 multiplier. Both routes can carry wins through those desert-coloured reels when the fiery symbols line up. I like how luchadores leave a wild trail when they enter the centre, because it signals the change clearly. With masks, belts, logos and letters in play, the set stays clear even when the crowd goes loud.
