Wild Chapo Slot Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

? Wild Chapo is an explosively volatile Mexican-themed video slot from Relax Gaming, and it plays out on 5 reels with 15 paylines. The base game comes with random expanding wilds, 2x2 wilds and sticky wild respins. However, everything hangs on the climactic wild release on the final free spin, as this can lead to payouts up to 10,000x your stake.

Wild Chapo Review

Not to be mistaken for a game about the infamous Sinaloa Cartel boss ‘El Chapo’, Wild Chapo is still a hardcore gambling experience from Relax Gaming. There is nothing relaxed about this release at all, and literally everything boils down to the final spin during the bonus round. The base game keeps you afloat with different wild features, the sticky wild respins being the most lucrative due to potentially repeated wins.

Chapo translates to “shorty”, and being “short” of wilds on the climactic final free spin can break your session for sure. The humorous, cartoon-style visuals suit the gameplay well, as you need a somewhat lighthearted atmosphere to take the edge off the nail-biting free spins round. The fateful final spin can land you up to 10,000x your stake, but it can also land you close to nothing. This is bound to repel some players, while appealing wildly to others.

Wild Chapo Features

The wild can land on all 5 of the reels, and they step in for all regular pay symbols like wilds usually do. The wild is also the highest paying symbol in this game, awarding 40x your stake for 5 on a payline.

You will sometimes land TNT barrels that turn into 2x2 wild blocks, and these are equal to 4 regular wilds. A crate of TNT can also land in the base game only, and it explodes to make itself, and all symbols above, into wilds.

When you land 2 bomb scatters (1 short of triggering the bonus round), these are transformed into sticky wilds, and a respin is granted. You get new respins as long as you keep landing more wilds, and these also become sticky. This can generate repeat wins, and the feature ends when you don't land any new wilds on a respin.

You trigger the Bonus Round when you land 3, 4 or 5 bomb scatters anywhere in sight, and this awards 7, 9 or 11 free spins, respectively. Non-Uk players can purchase the bonus round at any time for 60x via the bonus buy feature, but this option might not be available in all jurisdictions.

The triggering scatters turn into small sticky bomb icons overlaying their respective reel positions.

The bonus round is all about collecting as many of these bomb icons as possible, and more than one on the same reel position increases the multiplier with +1 up to 5x at the most. Land 3+ scatters on a free spin to increase your tally by 3 extra spins.

Everything builds towards the final spin, where all the bomb reel positions turn into wilds and/or multiplier wilds. This usually generates the bulk of your bonus round payout, and more than one multiplier wild included in a win means their respective values multiply with each other. The latter is key to truly win big, as a screen full of regular wilds pays “only” 600x your stake.

The 200 Spins Wild Chapo Experience

Not all that much happened for us in the base game, so after a while we caved and purchased the bonus round. This happens at 0:57 into the 2-minute highlights video, and we racked up a decent number of wilds with a couple of 2x multiplier wilds to boot. How much we got away with in total can be seen by hitting the play button.

Review Summary

In our experience (we purchased the bonus round quite a few times during testing), you should expect very little from the regular free spins. It all boils down to the final spin, where all the bombs turn into wilds and multiplier wilds. Many times you’ll win nothing at all before that final spin, turning the bonus round into a truly nerve-racking ‘hit or miss’ showdown.

Having more than the minimum of 7 spins also seemed to be very helpful, as those few times we got 9 free spins we usually won a lot more.

Getting extra spins serves the same purpose, but there are occasions when those darn bomb icons are really hard to get. Players who enjoy the thrill of a climactic final spin will certainly get a kick out of this one, not least since you can win up to 10,000x your stake.

Pros

  • Random expanding wilds and 2x2 wilds
  • Respins w/ sticky wild feature
  • Bonus round w/ climactic final spin wild release
  • Win up to 10,000x your stake

Cons

  • Everything hangs on the final free spin
  • A screen full of non-multiplier wilds awards only 600x

You can look forward to a respin feature where framed positions turn wild on the final spin, and the bonus round also comes with a similar final spin wild release.

Wild Chapo is a well-made slot, ideal for players who like to condense all the thrills and nail-biting tension into one make or break final free spin. Overall, we'd say Wild Chapo is worth a few spins. It's a deceptively simple slot that has more going on under the hood than you would expect. Still, remember.
