Taco Brothers Saving Christmas

The wombat says: It’s Yuletide, and to celebrate, ELK Studios have released a Christmas version of Taco Brothers slot. These are the genius designers behind the likes of the Wild Toro slot machine, in case you were wondering.

So what’s new? Well, not a lot really, we’ll be honest. In fact, you could say Taco Brothers Saving Christmas is basically the same game with a bit of tinsel thrown on top, and a few jingle bells. But that would be rude, so we’re not saying that. Ok, well maybe we are a tiny bit…

We’re a great fan of Mexican themed slot the Chilli Gold 2 slot and the Taco Bros slots. Bring it on!

Game Play

Your symbols in this festive slot are the same as the normal game, but all have a Christmas twist to them; think fairy lights, wrapping paper, gift cards and seasonal staples- holly and ivy. Paso, Pepe and Pico themselves are the high value symbols, while the guitar, the cacti, the lantern and spade and, of course, Christmas tequila make up the lower pay outs. There is one difference in the gameplay this time though, and that’s the shiny Christmas Bell, which will make up the Wild in the base game.

Taco

So how DO Taco Brothers Save Christmas? Well, they need to blow up the safe where Captain Diaz is holding ALL the Xmas tacos ransom, to restore ‘peace on earth to all mankind’, and bring yuletide happiness to Santa Maria. All while earning you some nice payouts… Plus Taco Brothers Saving Christmas is a ‘243 ways to win’ slot, which really does feel like Christmas!

If you don’t manage to save the tacos, you an always head over to the Pizza Prize slot machine and go for an Italian!

Festive Features

There’s a whole heavenly host of Christmas cracking features for you in this slot, including Taco Brothers Respins, Running Wilds, Exploding Safe Multipliers and Free Spins. Phew! Taco Brothers Respins are triggered by landing 2 or more of the Taco Brother Wild logo symbols. They will then give you another chance to spin for Scatters (to trigger the Bonus round) on any of the reels that don’t already have Scatters on them!

Wild Escape Bonus

Taco Brothers Saving Christmas Eve

If you find 3x Safe Scatters symbols along the reels, you’ll trigger off the Wild Escape Bonus Round. Here you’ll be treated to Free Spins, and all wins will be multiplied by the Exploding Safe Multiplier.

But that’s not all Wombat fans! During this Free Spin round, the Taco Brothers will also try to escape across the reels – this is called Running Wilds – and your Spins will continue until Pepe, Pico and Paso have all broken out.

If Captain Diaz shows up on the reels, a Taco brother will be thrown into the Christmas clink. Your festive bonus round will end when all 3 siblings are imprisoned. But don’t worry, just as in the original game, the sexy senorita can save your Spins (as well as Pepe, Pico and Paso). When she appears on the reels, one of the brothers is set free and the bonus continues!

Choose your bets

This slot also has some advanced betting strategies to keep you busy over the festive period…

The Jumper – Your bet level will increase after a win but resets if you lose.

The Leveler – Your bet level will increase x2 for every 5 rounds you lose and will resets if you win.

The Booster – Your bet will increase x1 on each losing round and reset if you win.

Mobile Taco Brothers Saving Christmas

Taco Brothers Saving Christmas is also available on mobiles and tablets.

Conclusion:

We loved the original Taco Brothers slot, and this cool Yule reboot is just as good. Merry Christmas to you all from Elk Studios and from us here at Wombat Towers. All together now: ‘O Come all Ye faithful…’

'Weird Al' Yankovic's Greatest Hits is a compilation album of parody and original songs by 'Weird Al' Yankovic, featuring his best known songs from his first five studio albums, all of which were released in the 1980s. 'Weird Al' Yankovic's Greatest Hits was met with mostly positive reviews from critics, with Heather Phrase of AllMusic noting that it provided a good overview of the early part of Yankovic's career. Despite this, the album failed to chart upon release, and ranks as one of Yankovic's lowest-selling records.

The music featured on the album span Yankovic's release in the 1980s, with the earliest songs being recorded in 1983, and the most recent song being recorded in 1988.[1] Yankovic's 1983 debut album is represented solely by 'Ricky'.[1][2] Both 'Eat It' and 'I Lost on Jeopardy' were taken from Yankovic's 1984 release 'Weird Al' Yankovic in 3-D.[1][3] Yankovic's third album, Dare to Be Stupid has three songs featured: 'Like a Surgeon', the eponymous 'Dare to Be Stupid', and 'One More Minute'.[1][4] 'Living with a Hernia' and 'Addicted to Spuds' were culled from the 1986 album Polka Party!.[1][5] Finally, Yankovic's then-recent studio album Even Worse is represented by 'Fat' and 'Lasagna'.[1][6]

Heather Phares of AllMusic noted that, 'though [the album] only covers the first half of 'Weird Al' Yankovic's career, it nevertheless features nearly all of his best work'.[7] She highlighted 'Eat It', 'Fat', and 'I Lost on Jeopardy' as the album's stand-out tracks, and concluded that the release 'is still the most consistent and concise album in his catalog, and a great introduction to his very special brand of musical humor.'[7] Fred Cisternia of Amazon.com gave the album a relatively positive review, writing that, 'If you want to take a funhouse mirror trip back to the 1980s, Greatest Hits is a good way to do it.'[8] Nathan Brackett and Christian Hoard, in The Rolling Stone Album Guide, awarded the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, denoting that the album averaged between good and excellent.[9]

The record was released on October 18, 1988, and upon its release failed to chart.
