Slot Summary

For readers who judge a slot first by its stated ceiling, the x50000 maximum gives Maria's Marigolds an immediate point of reference. IGT places that scale inside a Day of the Dead Festival, where Maria serves as both the central character and a multiplier Wild. Free Spins then extend the idea through increasing multipliers and possible additional spins, tying the Flowers and remembrance theme to the main reward sequence.
MechanicsMultiplier Wilds feed escalating Free Spins

How It Plays

Regular play uses five reels, three rows and 20 paylines, with Maria acting as a Wild and the Skeleton serving as the Scatter Symbol.

Wins involving Maria receive her Wild multiplier, while three or more Skeleton Scatters shift the game into its Free Spins sequence.

Theme & Atmosphere

Day of the Dead supplies the cultural subject, joining marigold Flowers, remembrance imagery and a Festival atmosphere rather than treating the setting as generic Horror.

Maria anchors the scene as its named figure, giving the celebration a personal focus while the flowers connect directly to the game's title.

Features & Win Potential

Wild Multipliers apply when Maria participates in a qualifying line win, combining substitution with a stronger payout than an ordinary Wild Symbol.

The Free Spins Multiplier increases during the feature, while Additional Free Spins can extend the round beyond its initial award.

Bonus & Free Spins

Three or more Skeleton Scatter Symbols activate Free Spins, moving the game away from its fixed-payline base round and into an expanding modifier sequence.

During Free Spins, the Multiplier rises as the round continues and Additional Free Spins can prolong the feature, preserving the higher modifier for later outcomes.

Running simulation…
How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.88%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (50,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
