Game Guide: Rosa's Fiesta

Happy Cinco de Mayo, AE Players! To celebrate this historic Mexican victory, we thought we’d share one of our favorite new games from IGT – Rosa’s Fiesta!

One of IGT’s newer game themes, Rosa’s Fiesta contains some exciting features for players, including fever games, sticky wilds, and stacked symbols! Rosa’s Fiesta is a five-reel, 40-payline slot game that pays only from left to right. (Winning combinations must be on consecutive reels and begin on the first reel.)

In the main game, there are a variety of fun and funky symbols to delight players. The trio of margaritas is wild for all symbols, except bonus triggers. The bonus trigger symbol is a portrait of Rosa with either a green, white, or red background. Other high-paying symbols include a man in a sombrero, a mariachi band, a tequila shot, a traditional guitar, a trumpet, maracas, and stylized symbols for ace, king, queen, and jack.

Any combination of five or more of the Rosa symbols on consecutive reels will trigger the bonus games found in Rosa’s Fiesta. The first five symbols award five bonus games, and any additional Rosas that were spun will award the player five more bonus games each.

Each different color Rosa has a different outcome on the bonus feature:

• Green Rosa works as a standard bonus trigger.
• White Rosa acts as a bonus trigger and also remains on the reels as a sticky wild.
• Red Rosa acts as a bonus trigger, remains on the reels as a sticky wild, and also adds extra games to the bonus games count.

Each Fever Game costs the player one penny to play, regardless of the bet that was in place when the bonus was triggered. The bonus can also be re-triggered, and any sticky wilds that were part of the initial trigger remain throughout the re-triggered games, as well as any NEW sticky wilds!

Rosa’s Fiesta also makes use of IGT’s Residual Credits Feature, which is found in many of their newer games. After a turn of play, if the bank amount falls below the bet amount, the player will be given the opportunity to spin the Residual Credits Wheel for a chance to win another turn of play at the full bet amount. The cost to spin the Residual Credits Wheel is your remaining bank, and the odds of winning another turn of play at the full bet amount is equal to the bet amount divided by the remaining bank. The player can see the approximate odds of winning represented by a smaller version of the actual Residual Credits Wheel tucked behind the bank amount in the bank window.
