The Brothers' take on Esqueleto Explosivo 2 Bonus Buy

Esqueleto Explosivo 2 took the studio's beloved Day of the Dead slot and turned the volatility up. The original was a low-vol cluster-pays gem; the sequel is a high-vol bonus chase with up to 32× multipliers and a 5,000× cap.

Five reels, three rows, 99 paylines, the same singing skulls and mariachi soundtrack the first slot was loved for. The signature mechanic is the cluster-cascade: wins clear off the screen, new symbols drop in, and a meter on the left side fills as you string clusters together. Hit Mega Esqueletos (oversized 2×2 skull symbols) and they explode the surrounding tiles for chain reactions. Three or more Mega Esqueleto scatters trigger free spins, where multipliers climb from 1× up to 32× as the meter fills.

Default RTP is 96.13% — slightly higher than the original. Volatility went from low to high; the studio didn't try to hide that. Max win caps at 5,000× the stake (compared to the original's 700×, which was the main reason for the upgrade). The Bonus Buy lands you straight into a guaranteed-trigger spin at a price multiple of your bet, but at a reduced 90.35% RTP — a steep drop that the casino discloses but most players miss. Bet range runs from 10¢ to €/$100.

Around the table, the Brothers debated whether the volatility jump was worth losing the original's gentler character. Honest answer: yes, narrowly. The 32× multiplier ceiling and 5,000× max-win make the sequel a genuinely different slot, and the Day of the Dead aesthetic still lands. Just skip the Bonus Buy — 90.35% is brutal, and the meter chase is the actual fun.

What we like

  • 32× multiplier ceiling in free spins is a real escalation
  • 5,000× max win is a 7× upgrade from the original
  • Mariachi soundtrack and Day of the Dead visuals are some of Thunderkick's best

What we don't

  • Bonus Buy RTP drops to 90.35% — verify before you click
  • Lost the original's low-volatility friendly maths
  • 99-payline structure is dated against modern cluster-only formats
The Brothers' takeA volatility-cranked sequel that earns its place — the multiplier ceiling is the upgrade, just don't pay the Bonus Buy tax.
