Lucha Libre 2 is a 5×3 wrestling online slot by RTG that returns us to the world of Mexican wrestling. Beat your opponent in the Time to Rumble bonus to win free spins and the Fist of Fury special feature.

You can find Taco Malo’s next great adventure at Intertops Classic Casino. This is just one of the awesome Real Time Gaming releases US players can play there!
SLOT INFORMATION
Players can bet between $0.01 and $7.5 on each spin. However, the minimum stake is only possible by playing with only one active payline. Lucha Libre 2 is played on a 5×3 board with 30 paylines that can be toggled at will.
Wins are unlocked by finding three or more identical symbols next to one another, starting with the leftmost reel. All wins have to follow an active payline to win the cash prize.
The slot comes with a theoretical return to player (RTP) of 95%. However, RTG allows individual online casinos to set this value higher or lower.
BASE GAME
Fourteen icon designs total can be found on the reels. The two wrestlers are Wilds, while Mucho Mayhem and the fist are Scatters.
A golden belt, a cup and the referee share the title of most valuable symbol. All three pay 500x your total stake for a five-of-a-kind win. This value can climb higher thanks to multipliers boosting payouts. Chili sauce, tequila, nachos and pepper icons grant the lowest possible win. It pays from 3x to 75x.
WILD WRESTLERS
When a wrestler covers the reel they appeared in, they will either offer a multiplier or spread onto adjacent reels. Wild multipliers can climb up to 10x, which drastically increases your winning potential!
TIME TO RUMBLE
Land three or more Mucho Mayhem Scatters to trigger this bonus. You can pick three fighting moves to bring down your opponent. If you win the match, you get a slightly better version of the bonus. The moves and their rewards are listed in the table below.

VERDICT
RTG has gone all out to capture how colorful Mexican wrestling is. It is a distinct visual upgrade over the original Lucha Libre, which we quite appreciate.
The game borrows some ideas from the original title and adds new bonuses of its own. It works out quite well, allowing players to win up to 5000x in a single spin.
