Big Juan

Big Juan Review

Wilds Streak and Pragmatic Play have taken a well-trodden path to bring you Big Juan, a loud and colourful slot with hot and spicy flavour. They used chillies, rainbow piñatas and blaring Mariachi music to keep in tune with the Mexican theme and added the Wild Switch feature in the base game for substance. When it triggers, Wild Switch is a rewarding feature, but not the only one that calls for noisy celebrations. How many piñatas will it take for you to smash your way into the respins round complete with jackpots, cash boosts, and extra respins? Read our slot review below to learn the dos and don’ts of this amusing party.

Big Juan Bonus Features

With a mix of different bonus symbols, it looks like Big Juan is a game with many bonus features when in reality, a respins session is where the bonus round starts and ends. In the base game, you’ll benefit from an additional feature involving spicy wilds if you can match enough paying symbols on three different reels. Let’s inspect all slot features in detail,

Wilds

A red hot chilli pepper acts as a wild and steps in to replace all other symbols if it’s possible to complete a winning combination. It doesn’t substitute for bonus symbols, nor does it appear in the respin feature.

Scatters

Scatters in Big Juan are detailed as candy-filled piñatas. They can appear on all reels and trigger the respins, but just like wilds, they’re not destined to pop up during this bonus feature.

Wild Switch

Landing 6 symbols of the same kind anywhere on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the base game will turn all the triggering symbols into wilds.

Respins

Hitting 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols in the base game, will activate the respins round, complete with 10, 12 or 15 respins. On activation, the initial 5×4 reel setup will then transform into a 3×3 reel grid with just one active position on reel 4. On the main grid, you’ll have a bag of coins sitting right in the middle of the main grid with coin symbols, extra spins and jackpot icons landing on the surrounding positions. Only two symbols, win and boost, can land on reel 4. If the win symbol spins into view on reel 4, you’ll have values of every symbol in view, including the sticky bag of coins, added to your play balance. If the boost symbol hits reel 4, the value of all gold coin symbols visible on the reels will be added to your bag of coins.

Big Juan Jackpot

A set of 4 fixedjackpots, worth up to 2,500x your stake, is up for grabs during the respins bonus feature with the overall win amount capped at 2,600x. Collect 3 Mini, 4 Minor, 5 Major and another 5 Grand jackpot symbols to win 12.5x, 50x, 250x and 2,500x your stake respectively.

RTP and Volatility

Big Juan is a high volatility game with a relatively high RTP of 96.70%. But if you’re going to buy your way into the respins round using the buy bonus feature, beware that it drops to a lower rate, which is unfortunate and also quite unusual.
