Wild Chapo 2

Wild Chapo 2: Slot Overview

Hola amigos! Keen to blow up some online stuff with sticks of dynamite? If so, why not take a gander at Wild Chapo 2, an online slot from Kindred owned developer Relax Gaming and a follow-up to the explosive delights of Wild Chapo? This time, Wild Chapo finds himself locked up in the clink and needs help busting out. To do so, players will have to harness the power of Wild Re-spins, free spins, expanding wilds, wild multipliers, and of course, plenty of reckless explosions.

It's back to the desert we go for Wild Chapo 2, though this time the setting is not a friendly casa or bar; it's the jailhouse, as indicated by the bars beneath the active gaming area, which Chapo wanders past every so often. The graphical style is the same as it was before, meaning a cartoonish world full of adorably loveable characters of the human and non-human persuasion. A bucket on a rope, a sombrero-wearing cactus, and playful animations make Wild Chapo 2 as disarmingly amusing as before.

Don't get too disarmed, though; Wild Chapo 2 is a highly volatile gambling machine which has expanded several things from the original. One is the game grid. This time detonations take place on a play area using 6-reels, 3-rows, and 25 fixed paylines. Winning lines are created when matching symbols, at least three of them, land left to right from the leftmost reel. The RTP has dropped ever so slightly to 96.1% when playing in the default mode or 96.5% when buying free spins. The bonus buy costs 70x the bet, whilst the base stakes range from 10 p/c to $/€50 per spin.

Wild Chapo 2's pay symbols are also similar to the predecessor, though different in appearance - and there are more of them. They start with padlocks shaped like clubs, spades, diamonds, and hearts as the low pays, followed by three bottle symbols, then doggies, owls, donkeys, and Chapo symbols. At best, six-of-a-kind winning lines pay from 1 to 20 times the bet.

Wild Chapo 2: Slot Features

Wild Chapo 2's explosive band of features includes Wild Re-spins, leaning heavily on the wild aspect, and a wild symbols collection fest of a free spins bonus round.

Wild Re-spin

Keep an eye out for the wild symbols appearing on reels 2 to 5 - any wins that include a wild symbol awards a re-spin. Re-spins continue to be awarded until a win occurs which does not include a wild. During re-spins, wild symbols are semi-locked in place on the reels. Now, wilds display a number ranging from 1 to 5 on them. This number indicates the number of wins the wild must be included in before it gets collected. Each time a wild is part of a win, the number decreases by -1. Reach zero, and the wild is collected.

Collected wild symbols are stored under their respective reel, and when more than 1 wild is collected on the same reel, the wild multiplier increases by +1 for each extra wild collected. When re-spins end, one Final Spin is awarded where the collected wilds expand to cover their reels entirely. Wins with more than one wild multiplier in them have their multiplier values multiplied together.

Free Spins

Collecting 3, 4, 5, or 6 badge scatter symbols in a base game round awards 7, 10, 15, or 25 free spins, respectively. Wild symbols in free spins are held on the reels until they are collected or until the Final Spin. When free spins end, a Final Spin is awarded where the collected wilds expand to cover the reels above them. Collected wild multipliers increase by +1 for each extra wild collected on the same reel, so full reel wilds can have multipliers when they expand. As before, multipliers are multiplied when more than one is used in a win. The final rule is that +1 extra spin is awarded for any scatter symbol landing during the feature.

Wild Chapo 2: Slot Verdict

The original Wild Chapo slot was a volatile beast that, like nitrogen, can be inert one moment and then used as a base for explosives later - Wild Chapo 2 follows a similar pattern. It's a game that can rumble along, all quiet, like, chilling out in the desert minding its own business, then next, someone's lit the powder keg whilst Chapo and the chums are blowing stuff up all over the show. Not only can this sort of activity help Chapo break out of the clink, but it might also well lead to a pretty substantial result.

Nowhere is this behaviour more apparent than in free spins. That's where the features are most funnelled into the all-important Final Spin. As you might expect, winning more free spins to do so might be just the thing to get a major leg up, so the 6 scatter 25 free spin trigger is like gold dust. However many spins are available, cross your fingers that wilds not only land but are used in as many wins as possible, shoving them beneath the reels and hopefully dropping a bunch of multipliers on them. Tough going when the process isn't playing ball, though intense when it is. As such, it's very close to the emotions evoked from Wild Chapo's bonus round, which also relied on wilds and wild multipliers in its Final Spin. Wild Chapo 2, in contrast, has a greater number of paylines at its disposal, and it also has greater winning potential too, capped at a ceiling figure of 20,000x the bet, roughly double the original.

For players who prefer spinning for some of the biggest wins possible, then Wild Chapo Dream Drop might be a good option instead. It's got all the Chapo antics, plus it's connected to Relax Gaming's massive progressive jackpot network. If not, then Wild Chapo 2 picks up where its predecessor left off, delivering everything the last one did, plus a little bit more in numerous regards. Wild Chapo 2 isn't exactly a Money Train to Money Train 2 type of progression, but it's an exciting replay of Chapo, his chums, and stacks of wild pyrotechnics.
