Announced in 2023 by Relax Gaming, Wild Chapo 2 presents the famous Mexican rascal (Chapo) in a prison-based in the desert. But he doesn’t plan on staying and has enlisted the help of animal sidekicks to set him free!
The 6×3 layout game has reels structured like prison bars and positioned behind cactuses. Under the reels is a basement cell showcasing a dark silhouette figure (which we assume to be Chapo himself) wearing a Sombrero and walking briskly.
You’ll find a bucket (left) and a wooden barrel (right) shaking at specific intervals. Newsflash. These movements are triggered by Chapo’s animal friends — a Chihuahua, Owl, and Donkey — on the lookout as Chapo hatches the perfect escape plan.
Wild Chapo 2 has a 96.10% RTP (96.50% during the Free Spins round). Like the desert’s temperature, the slot’s volatility is high, offering you a chance to make decent winnings as you spin the reels. And your maximum reward for aiding Chapo’s escape? 20,000x your wager — a justifiable incentive on all counts!
Soundtrack-wise, Wild Chapo 2 integrates upbeat and thrilling mariachi sounds, setting the stage for an immersive adventure from start to finish. Without further ado, let’s take a trip to the Mexican deserts to see if Chapo’s escape plan succeeds or falls through.

Wild symbols in Wild Chapo 2 appear as the “WILD” inscription tied to TNT explosives. This icon only appears only on reels 2 – 5, and you’ll receive a respin if you make a winning combination featuring a Wild. Wilds remain in place during respins, and these respins will continue until you land a win that doesn’t include a Wild.
In-game Wilds typically showcase a number from 1 – 5. These values indicate how many winning combinations you must make with featured Wilds before they’re collected. Anytime you win with a specific “numbered” Wild, its value will decrease by 1.
Wild symbols are collected under the reels they appear on immediately they decrease to 0. Note that the “under the reels” segment represents the sub-grids underneath the game’s actual reels.
Furthermore, multiple Wilds landing on one reel will boost the Wild multiplier by 1 for every extra Wild collected. After the respins, you’ll receive a Final Spin. During this exciting feature, all collected Wilds will expand to cover the reels, thereby creating Wild reels.
We repeatedly triggered the Wild Respins feature and made decent winning combinations (usually around €100 to €200). However, our big break finally came after landing a “3” Wild that gave us a winning combination worth €510.
You’ll receive Free Spins when you land 3 or more Bonus icons during the base game. Here’s how many Free Spins you’re entitled to during gameplay:

During Free Spins, Wilds remain fixed until they’re collected or the Final Spin. After exhausting your Free Spins, you’ll receive the Final Spin. Here, wild symbols stored below the reels expand and fill the above reels.
Like in Wild respins, the multiplier on a collected Wild will increase by 1 for every extra Wild stored on that specific reel, creating multiplier Wild reels during expansions. Winning combos featuring multiple Wilds will have their multiplier numbers multiplied together.
Additionally, landing a Bonus symbol on the reels during the Free Spins round earns you an additional Free Spin.
After what seemed like an eternity, we landed four Bonus symbols across the reels and received 10 Free Spins. As the round commenced, we noticed that while the reels had retained their positions, it was now sunset.
Well, it seems like the desert only grants rewards when the Sun goes down. Winning on almost every spin, we earned a total of €3,720 after 11 spins (Final Spin inclusive). Guess who had their shoulders raised after this mind-blowing event? You guessed right — us!
On the rewards screen, you’ll notice that the reels that once served as prison bars have lost their rigidity and are now broken. Upon closer inspection, you’ll see Chapo’s silhouette donning a Sombrero and placing what looks like a cigar on his lips! We were rewarded for our efforts — so we’ll turn a blind eye to Chapo’s escape. Sincere apologies to the morality police!
If you’d like to access the Free Spins round without taking numerous spins to land the required Bonus icon combination, there’s a simpler but more expensive alternative — the Buy Feature.
By clicking the “Buy” icon, you’ll be redirected to a screen where you can activate the Free Spins round for 70x your original bet.
Once purchased, the slot automatically spins the reels to land three or more Bonus symbols to trigger the Free Spins round.
The original Wild Chapo was fun. But Relax Gaming has taken the thrill and excitement to the next level with the sequel — Wild Chapo 2. Again, Wild Chapo needs his animal sidekicks to break out from the desert-based prison with a bang!
You won’t find a truckload of bonuses on Wild Chapo 2. But that doesn’t reduce its appeal. The significant incentives — Wild respins and the Free Spins round — are excellent, integrating subtle add-ons to increase your winning combinations.
The Free Spins round earned us our “biggest win.” Although you can automatically activate this bonus game via the “Buy Feature” add-on, we don’t recommend taking this route.
Why? It’s pricey (at 70x your bet) and unprofitable. We utilised this feature several times and couldn’t make half the amount used to purchase it on each occasion.
Besides this drawback, we’ll recommend Wild Chapo 2 wholeheartedly. It’s action-packed, rewarding, and makes you part of a great cause which involves aiding Chapo’s escape from his desert cell!
Dragon Gaming released El Mariachi in 2020. This 5×3 layout game has 10 paylines. Featuring a 95.5% RTP, El Mariachi has a lesser payout percentage than Wild Chapo 2. Regarding in-game features, both games are similar, hosting Free Spins, Respins, and Wilds.
Unlike Wild Chapo 2, El Mariachi has medium volatility. Also, the latter’s maximum payout is 20x less than what’s featured on Wild Chapo 2, wielding a max win of 1,000x your wager.
Mexican Chilies was released by Retro Gaming in 2021. This 5×4 layout game has its reels set in the desert, just like Wild Chapo 2. Mexican Chilies’ RTP value maxes out at 95.72% — a bit lesser than what you’ll find on Wild Chapo 2.
Although Wild Chapo 2 has three notable features, Mexican Chilies has just one — Retro Bet Feature. Although the latter slot has a 10,000x maximum payout, it’s half of what Wild Chapo 2 offers.
