Designed and developed by Ainsworth, let’s check out this slot!

Is The Theme Interesting And What Symbols Are There?

South of the Border by Ainsworth is a slot game based on a South American theme. It's nothing particularly new in the terms of the thematic but the design sure is charming and lively. 

The background looks nice, it seems that the reels are placed in some sort of desert with cactus peeking from behind the reels as well. The symbols are cartoon-like and they are indeed adorable and nice to look at. 

The surprising thing is only the fact that the music theme isn't Latino-related but rather usual for this type of games. Nonetheless the graphics are indeed great.

Cactuses, Chilli Sauces, Pinatas and Tequilas are premium symbols paying up to 6x, 5x and 4x the stake respectively for their five of a kind combinations. Boring set of royals K, Q, J, 10 and 9 are to be found at the low end of the pay table.

The Mariachi is the wild icon and will substitute for all other regular symbols. It will appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. The Sun and Moon icon is the scatter with a value of its own, 100x the stake for its five of a kind combo.

There are also Sunflower Symbols that are scatters as well, but more about them later on in the features department, so stay tuned!

What’s The Betting Range And Features?

5 reels, 3 symbols high and 25 fixed pay lines grid setup is to be found in South of the Border. You win by matching symbols from left to right.

The betting range is set to go from as low as 1$ and up to a maximum of 40$ per single spin. The bet is selected directly meaning that you can only change the total amount of bet for each spin.

The title is considered to be of low volatility, meaning that you are to bump up into smaller wins of 150x the stake quite often. However, there is a fixed Grand Jackpot of 30,000$ so keep that in mind. Another amazing thing here is that the RTP is 96,50%!

Aside from the Wild and the Sun and Moon scatter we already mentioned earlier, this game has a feature that we already saw in some of the Ainsworth’s releases also known as the Loaded With Loot Feature.

The feature triggers once you’ve landed 5 or more of the yellow Sunflower symbols. You’re awarded with 4 free spins and the sunflowers that triggered the feature move to the meter positioned aside of the reels. Your job here is to fill this meter by collecting sunflower symbols.

You’ll be awarded with a Grand Jackpot by collecting 10 of the yellow sunflower symbols. It is also possible to get your hands on extra free spins!

Ready For Conclusion?

South of the Border has quite interesting features and most importantly low volatility that will most likely attract casual players even more.
