El Luchador Makes An Entry In Bovada Casino

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

The El Luchador is the newest game on the block at Bovada Casino. In keeping with the wild image of this casino, El Luchador is based on a freestyle wrestling theme which finds many takers in Mexico. Many other Spanish speaking populations appear to be fond of this sport. These wrestlers are professionally known as “luchadores”. They typically camouflage their identities by wearing face masks and use pile drivers and head scissors.

This wrestling themed slot game comes with 25 pay lines and five reels. These reels are placed inside the wring wherein the wrestlers compete against each other. There are motley wrestler’s images which give bonus points whenever they appear on the pay lines. The crowd applause and cheers form the background score in this game.

This new game comes with multiple unique and exciting features like the Match Multiplier feature. This comes at the start of any spin when a multiplier gets shown for that spin – all the payouts are then multiplied by this multiplier that typically ranges in value from two to five. The Match Multiplier remains missing in the free spins round. There is a Fly High wild feature whereby at the end of a spin, the luchador can fly across reels and make the scatter symbols into wilds.

This feature is equivalent to three wilds. It can even trigger two times more and new winnings are paid at the end of each new win. Those wilds which have been added because of this feature cannot be substituted by newly added wilds. There is another Ring Pick feature whereby three rings come onto the screen after a random spin. The players must then choose one of these and earn bonus credits.

There is also a bonus game of free spins – as many as ten free spins get generated when more than three scatter symbols come anywhere on the reels. Payouts get doubled and free spins can be retriggered. Following a spin, this game provides a progressive jackpot as well.

North America Gambling Trivia

New Jersey, has, for a long time, been trying to regulate and make online gambling legal. Regardless of opposition from a horse racing lobby, the new online gambling regulation was drafted by Senator Lesniak and has successfully passed the Senate Government and Wagering Committee. However, John Burzichelli from the Assembly suggested that all online gambling needs a state-wide referendum.

This move is in keeping with the state constitution which says that, all gambling, barring horse racing or lotteries, must be based in Atlantic City. Finally, in a hearing held recently, it was argued that no part of the constitution was being violated since all online gambling transactions can only be completed after they are accepted by the Atlantic City server.

In Canada, Ontario came up with a six-year plan related to both land and online casinos which are guaranteed to bring home as much as 1.3 million dollars for this cash-starved state. Laws will accordingly be modified to enable people to buy lottery tickets online. Side by side, talks for a new land based casino are also doing the rounds.
