What We Didn't Like

Theme and Design
A lot of thought (and research) has gone into producing La Fiesta. And the result is a great looking slot that’s built to entertain. The action takes place on what looks like a wooden float being pulled around the streets of a town during fiesta season. Wild parties are happening in the background if the soundtrack is anything to go by. There are nicely drawn Spanish characters and the whole thing comes to life thanks to the primary colors in the palette. It’s top quality and just what you expect from Relax.
RTP and Variance
La Fiesta has an RTP of 96.19%. This is about average for a Relax Gaming slot. Occasionally they push out a game with a much higher RTP. For example, Book of 99 has an RTP of 99%, Marching Legions has an RTP of 98.12% and Epic Joker has an RTP of 97%. All these games are available at the slot sites listed on this page too.
The variance for La Fiesta is high. It’s a volatile game with an uneven win distribution. This is also typical for Relax who are one of the top studios creating high risk slots for UK players. Keep this all in mind when choosing your stake because you can get burned.
Maximum Win
The top win here reflects that high risk model too at 14,778x. It’s not Relax’s highest paying slot however, with Wild Yield (50,00x) and Dead Riders Trail (50,000x) both eclipsing this one by a long way. You can also win much bigger prizes on Relax Gaming’s Dream Drop Jackpot slots which have progressive wins in excess of £1,000,000!
Symbols and Paytable
La Fiesta plays out on a reel set with 5 reels and 4 rows. There are 40 paylines to win on with wins triggered by landing 3 or more identical symbols across a line from left to right, starting at the left most reel.
There are 8 symbols in the table. The low payers are the 3-d card suits, all valued the same from 0.2x for 3 on l line up to 0.7x for 5 on a line. The premiums are the festival characters – card lady, bull fighter, lothario and the bull himself. These are valued at from 0.5x for 3 card ladys up to who is worth 10x for 5 bulls.
Watch out for the Wilds too - the tomato, squashed tomato and expanded stallions. These substitute for any pay symbol to complete a line and pay handsomely with each one paying 1x, 5x or 10x for 3, 4 or 5 on a line.
Features and Gameplay
Like many Relax Gaming slots, La Fiesta is absolutely STACKED with features. Base game modifiers give way to no less than FOUR bonus rounds. It’s also an education in Spanish festival names …
Here is how they all work.
Wilds, Symbol Stacks and Multipliers Trigger AT RANDOM!
Keep your eyes peeled because at any time, any of these can happen …
La Tomatina – Wilds land at random on the reels.
Pamplona – The high paying bull becomes a stacked symbol.
San Joan – A donkey wild arrives on the scene with a progressive multiplier attached. And the donkey moves – he gets on hind legs and re-spins occur and the multiplier increases. When he lies down the feature ends and you get ONE more re-spin!
FOUR Free Spins Rounds With Sticky Wilds, Mega Stacks and Multipliers!
The nature of your free spins round is determined by the scatter that triggers it. You’ll need THREE scatters to land and the last indicates which of these bonus features ensues …
Las Falleras Free Spins
If you hit 2 guitar scatters and 1 rose scatter, the Las Falleras Free Spins begin. Find the red and gold roses in the mini game first to determine number of Free Spins and your Multiplier.
La Tomatina Free Spins
If you hit 2 guitars and 1 tomato scatter, the La Tomatina Festival awards 7 Free Spins. Any tomato Wilds become sticky and remain in place for the duration of the round.
Pamplona Free Spins
Hitting 2 guitar scatters and the bull scatter will trigger the Pamplona Free Spins, which give you 6 spins with Stacked Bull Wilds for big potential wins.
San Joan Free Spins
San Joan Free Spins can only be triggered from the La Fiesta Tour Bus gamble game. When activated, a black stallion arrives on the screen awarding a Multiplier. It walks across the screen on each spin, increasing the Multiplier by 1x every time.
La Fiesta Tour Bus
You can also gamble your Free Spins bonus feature with the Tour Bus gamble game for the chance of upgrading to a better bonus – but there is the chance you could lose it altogether! Playing the gamble game is the only way to trigger the San Joan Free Spins round.
Final Verdict
I absolutely loved this game. La Fiesta is a slot with a massive personality and a huge number of bonus features which is what we are here for. The Wilds and Free Spins all appear regularly, while the Tour Bus gamble is a fun way to add some tension and keep players on their toes!
As ever, Relax’s design team have created an enthralling backdrop to the game as well, and with the humorous animations of bulls and donkeys, there is never a dull moment. And in terms of maths, the low minimum bet combined with medium-high volatility also makes this a great game for all players with a potentially thrilling jackpot.
As for the free spins options, my vote goes for La Tomatina – the chance to land sticky tomato wilds on SEVEN spins gives you a good chance of pushing upwards towards that big value top win.
Testing Notes
Test spins and results analysis by Mark Wadie on 11.07.24
Results from 100 spins with real money on La Fiesta at Casumo.
- Stake Size: £0.1
- Start balance: £1,043.92
- End balance: £1,045.47
- Hit Rate: 13% (13 winning spins in 100)
- Biggest Win: 34.7x
- Free Spins Round: 3
First a word on the production which I really liked. Relax know how to create fun slots and this one is very entertaining. The animations around all the features are really cool, and the segues into free spins with the chance to gamble are excellent as well.
In terms of bets, I knew it was a volatile slot so I started with low stakes – just 10p per spin. The win rate was low at 13%, that’s barely better than a win every 1 in 10 spins. Which is tough. However, the flipside to that is that I saw THREE free spins rounds. That seems unusual and its unlikely La Fiesta will trigger that frequently every time you play. However, it’s still a positive sign – perhaps the RTP is weighted more into these features.
As it was, the wins were not huge. I saw the Pamplona free spins once and the Falleras twice. Pamplona delivered just a 12p win from 12 spins (unbelievably poor) whilst Falleras kicked out a 32x and a 34.7x (better, but not crazy). The Falleras is more fun because it has a pre-free spins feature where reels spin to reveal red and gold roses to see how many free spins and what multiplier make up the round. I had 12 spins and a 4x multiplier first time.
Overall, this was an enjoyable 100 spins. It is frustrating to have so many dead spins. But when that is offset by frequent bonus triggers, I’ll take that.
