Fruit-themed slots are very common at online casinos, but La Tomatina is a bit different.
Developer Tom Horn has come up with a slot based on the famous La Tomatina festival and it is that event that lends its name to the game.
With five reels and 40 paylines featured in the La Tomatina online slot game, there are plenty of ways for players to win from each spin of the reels.
"La Tomatina is another fantastic addition to our expanding games portfolio," said Tom Horn's chief executive Ondrej Lapides. "Its vibrant atmosphere, engaging Spanish tunes and exciting features will definitely hit the sweet spot of players in many geographic markets."
Players opting for La Tomatina will get acquainted with the characters of Fernando and Sergio, who can impact what will happen on each spin.
For all the details about playing the La Tomatina online slot game, read on for our full review.
La Tomatina has a pleasing design, with the reels flanked by the two characters of Sergio and Fernando, who are responsible for the game's Wild symbols.
As with most online slots, the controls are found at the bottom of the screen, below the reels. In the bottom-right is where players will find the spin button, with auto-play located to its left. Just underneath the button for auto-play is an option to bet max, which is handy for high rollers.
Stakes can be changed towards the bottom-left corner of the screen but the 40 paylines are fixed, with players not given any control over lowering this number in any way.
Symbols start with the standard low-paying card icons that range from A to 10, while there are also clothing items and musical instruments that can appear on the La Tomatina reels too.
It is the bonus features that really catch the eye in La Tomatina, though, so let's assess them.
La Tomatina's bonus features centre around the two different Wild symbols. It will come as no surprise whatsoever to players to learn that these are tomatoes, hence the game's name.
What is a bit different is the Wild symbols do not just pop up on the reels, they are thrown on to the game by the two characters we mentioned earlier.
Red tomatoes are the game's first Wild. When one of these appears on the reels, players enter the Flux Spins bonus round. Each spin still needs to be paid for, but after each of them there will be another red Wild that pops up, increasing a player's chances of a substantial win.
During the free spins games, the Wild also acts as a multiplier to boost those wins further.
A second Wild symbol, a yellow tomato, is what players on La Tomatina will be hoping for. This triggers the Sticky Respins round, with the number of respins depending on the number of yellow Wilds that appear.
In the bonus game, the yellow Wild will be locked in place and the spins are re-triggerable too.
Tom Horn is not one of the most famous names in the world of online slots, but the release of games such as La Tomatina might help to change that in the near future.
La Tomatina's twin Wild symbols mean it has something a bit extra and the game's design and sound makes an experience that is quite different from most online slots out there.
Decent wins can be achieved in the Flux Spins bonus round but it is fair to say that some of the massive life-changing sums of money that can be won at online casinos are not likely here.
Despite that, La Tomatina is a fun title that is sure to capture a solid audience for Tom Horn.
