Set deep in a gritty underworld of power and profit, the Bloody Pesos slot has a crime theme, as it’s based on the Mexican cartel bosses and their illegal activities. The setting is a dusty Mexican town where the cartel keep their drugs and run their operations from. With blue skies, mountains and palm trees in the background, you’ll notice the hip-hop soundtrack.

On the reels, low-value symbols include chickens, police badges, suitcases full of cash and Day of the Dead skulls. The higher-value symbols are represented by a Mexican police officer and 3 members of the cartel: the cartel boss is the highest-value symbol awarding 20 x your total bet for 5 in combination.

Then you have the 2 Gold Guns Wild symbol: substituting for all paying symbols above, 3, 4 or 5 wilds in combination award a 2.5, 12.5 or 50 x bet payout. Bloody Pesos also comes with a Police Truck Scatter, which is key to triggering the Bullet Storm feature.  There is also a Bomb Scatter which activates the Cartel Carnage feature. More on both features below.

Bloody Pesos, as with all Yggdrasil slots, was created using HTML5 technology. Adapting to mobile, tablet and desktop devices, it is compatible with iOS and Android smartphone devices (using Portrait Mode).

Bloody Pesos comes with stacked mystery symbols which shift downwards with each spin to reveal a random symbol. The Bullet Storm will see the mystery stack reveal bet multiplier coins up to 2,500 x bet or scatters. In the Cartel Carnage feature, you get free spins with mystery symbols that nudge downwards and increase the multiplier, with no limits.

Secret Cargo and Smuggle & Uncover

In Bloody Pesos, you’ll see Secret Stack Mystery symbols landing in stacks of 4. Landing on all reels in both the base game and free spins, they all reveal a randomly chosen symbol.

When the Secret Stack lands on the reels, you’ll trigger the Smuggle & Uncover feature: secret symbols move down by 1 with each spin with all symbols uncovered by the secret symbols being the same. With a new symbol uncovered with each new spin, secret symbols can uncover paying symbols or Police Truck Scatters.

Bullet Storm

When the Bullet Storm feature is triggered, each position of the Secret Stack spins and reveals a bet multiplier coin or Bomb Scatter. Bet multiplier coins are worth between 1 and 2,500 x your total bet.

Cartel Carnage

The Cartel Carnage feature is activated by landing 3 or more Bomb Scatters anywhere on the reels. Beginning with no set number of free spins, reels 2 and 4 are filled with Secret Stack Mystery symbols.

Beginning with a 1x multiplier, the multiplier increases by 1 when the Secret Cargo feature is triggered and Secret Stack symbols are present on rows other than the 4^th. If Secret Stack symbols appear only on the 4^th row, 1 extra free spin is awarded. The feature continues until all Secret Stack Mystery symbols leave the reels.

If you trigger the feature (3+ Bomb Scatters) with a +1 Scatter, Secret Stack Mystery symbols move up 1 position. In the free spins, it can be revealed by Secret Stack Mystery symbols during the Bullet Storm feature, with a maximum of 3 scatters.

OnlyWins Mode & Buy Bonus

Bloody Pesos has 2 more options. The OnlyWins feature costs 2 x your total bet but gives you a 99.99% chance of forming a win on every spin. Finally, the Buy Bonus feature allows you to buy your way into the Cartel Carnage feature for 50 x your total bet.

Bloody Pesos Slot

Rating: 3.2/5

Bloody Pesos is Yggdrasil’s crime-themed version of Razor Shark. With 90,000 x bet max wins, it offers big win potential but lacks any originality to make it stand up against Push Gaming’s iconic game.

The Bloody Pesos slot has a hip-hop/crime/Mexican mashup of themes. The first thing that sprung to mind was The Border: Nolimit City’s game is much grittier. The soundtrack also reminded me of East Coast vs West Coast (also Nolimit City).

In terms of the gameplay, Yggdrasil ‘borrows’ many elements from Push Gaming. The Secret Stack Mystery symbols and Bullet Storm feature are nearly identical to the respective extras is Razor Shark. Even the top coin prize of 2,500 x your total bet is the same!

The Cartel Carnage feature is a rip-off of Razor Shark’s Free Games feature as reels 2 and 4 are filled with stacked mystery symbols. With the multiplier increasing for every nudge, Yggdrasil Gaming might of thought die-hard slot fans wouldn’t notice.

With 90,000 x bet max wins on offer, Bloody Pesos can certainly pack quite the punch. Razor Shark offers 85,475 x bet max wins but does come with theoretical unlimited max win potential (apparently). The RTP rate of 96.7% is also significantly higher than the 96% found in Bloody Pesos.

In conclusion, I recommend the Bloody Pesos slot if you want a cartel-themed version of Razor Shark. That said, the theme needs to be grittier and a lot more intense to stand up to others. Another game based on the cartel is Red Tiger’s Narcos Mexico: it’s the official slot for the Netflix TV series and comes with 10,486 x bet max win potential.
