Mad Muertos (Pragmatic Play) – Review & Demo Play

Mad Muertos - Game Overview

I’ve spent time on Mad Muertos and it lands as a high-energy Day of the Dead slot with Pragmatic’s multiplier-focused style. The setup uses six reels and familiar mechanics, then drops in multiplier symbols that can reach up to 1,000x. The presentation is festive and colourful, which helps long sessions. It feels built for players who enjoy straight, punchy rounds rather than complex build-ups, and the pacing stays brisk across the base game.

The headline numbers read well. Max win sits at 25,000x and the RTP model can vary by operator, with a version slightly above average available. Gameplay will feel familiar to fans of the studio’s previous multiplier-led releases, which is both a draw and a limitation. One point worth flagging is that win multipliers during free spins do not carry over between spins, which takes a bit of steam out of longer bonus sequences.

Mad Muertos Symbols and Paytable

Mad Muertos uses scatter pays-style thresholds that pay at 8+, 10+, and 12+ symbol counts across the set. The top tier reaches 50x for 12+, moving down through bands that include 25x, 15x and 12x for better clusters, and right down to 0.25x on the lowest bracket. Multiplier symbols and Scatters are both present, supporting the bonus trigger and the big swing moments. The structure keeps hits frequent while leaving real weight for premium stacks.

Bonus Features in Mad Muertos

Free Spins trigger on 4 or more Scatters. The round leans on multiplier symbols to spike outcomes, but those multipliers don’t persist between spins, so momentum resets each time. That keeps variance high and puts the onus on short bursts rather than long compounding chains. I found the best sequences came when early multipliers landed on top of strong symbol counts, since the ladders can stretch to big numbers up to 1,000x when the screen lines up.

The standard Buy Bonus costs 100x your stake and guarantees 4 or more Scatters on the entry spin. The listed RTP for this purchase sits at 96.52%. I used it when the base game cooled off, as it’s a straight shot into the feature without faff. It suits session planning when you want a defined cost-to-try for bonus chasing. I rarely chain buys back to back, spacing them out helped the bankroll breathe while I tested base rhythm.

There’s also Super Free Spins at 500x total bet. In this mode every multiplier symbol lands with a minimum value of 20x, which tightens the floor for spike hits. The RTP on this buy is shown at 96.55%. It’s a pricey option that I reserve for high-risk runs, but the minimum multiplier floor pairs well with the 25,000x cap when you’re pressing for peak outcomes. It changes the feel straight away, as even small hits can stretch when a 20x lands early.

RTP, Volatility and Win Potential in Mad Muertos

For numbers, Mad Muertos runs on a headline RTP of 96.53%, though multiple RTP models exist across operators, so I always check the info panel first. Volatility is high and it plays that way in practice. The max win is 25,000x, which is serious top-end for this style. Stakes range from 0.20 to 300, giving room for testing and proper shots. The six-reel layout keeps the field busy without slowing the spin cycle.

Mad Muertos Slot Review – Personal Take

From a session feel angle, the artwork is sharp and the theme is lively, which fits the hit pattern. I rate the presentation as superior and the gameplay as popular by design, echoing the studio’s recent run. It doesn’t try to reinvent anything, and that’s fine when the numbers are strong. The only gripe is the non-sticky multipliers in the feature, which can blunt chains that would otherwise roll. Audio sits in the background without getting in the way.

Across my play, the base stayed entertaining enough while I hunted Scatters. When I wanted a faster route, I alternated between the 100x buy and the 500x Super Free Spins, leaning to the latter when pressing for bigger multipliers thanks to the 20x floor. If you’re not worn out by the formula, Mad Muertos earns a spot in the rotation as a solid, high-potential hit chaser. That approach balanced risk across the session.
