El Andaluz Review
Inspired by Spain’s culture, and by the local dancing, in particular, El Andaluz is a slot machine that you’re going to find in Swintt’s collection. The look, features, and even the returns that are expected of it, all contribute to the impression that it’s an older type of game, one that looks like it belongs in a land-based casino.
Free Spins
3 or more Scatters trigger 12 Free Spins. Wild Symbols are sticky during the whole feature.
El Andaluz slot proposes a system where it spins 5×3 reels, and it gives you 10 active lines to get paid through. If you’re looking at a screen filled with wilds, wins of up to 1,200x the stake appear to be a possibility, and this is from a slot that has a low RTP of only 94.22%. The special features that we’re being tempted with, range from wilds to scatters and free spins.
El Andaluz Betting and Prizes
You are going to have anywhere from 10 to 10,000 coins in your wagers, but they’re going to be worth $0.01 each, so the actual betting range is between $0.10 and $100.
The best-paying winning combo is the one made out of 5 wilds, which pay 120x the stake on each line (up to 1,200x the stake total, or $120,000 cash). If we go by the regular symbols only, then we can claim up to 52x the stake from each one (520x the stake total for a full screen of Lady symbols).
I’m not crazy about the amount that the game will return to its players. Hence, 94.22% is way below the average these days, and the odds are even worse compared with most slots you see launched online these days.
El Andaluz Game Features
First, we have the Matador Wild, the usual substitute that’s going to be used in the creation of new combinations. Have it land next to regular symbols, and together they can form combinations. It also pays by itself, 1x to 120x the stake, for a combo of 2 to 5 symbols.
The other one is the Black Horse scatter, which you’re going to use as a scatter. 3 of these will get you 12 free spins. An advantage of this feature is that the wild symbol is sticky on its reels, so you get to use them until the free spins are over.
Theme & Design
Spanish dancers are the ones who take over the main symbols in El Andaluz. Moreover, there is a man as a wild, a black horse as the scatter. And a collection of regulars that start from the Lady and go to images of a hand fan. A pair of wooden noisemakers/clappers which are used as musical instruments, and then a couple of red roses. The final five symbols provide us with the Royals, each one in a different colour. And not very interesting to look at.
Conclusion
El Andaluz from Swintt provides us with a theme that could’ve been interesting. And the main symbols being used look pretty good, without being great. The overall feel is that of an older slot machine though. Both in the way its design was handled and in the lower odds that you’re getting from it. It doesn’t have the most exciting features around either. It’s fine to play for a short while if you enjoy the theme.
