Players are introduced to the gaming grid of 5 reels with 3 rows and 30 adjustable paylines which sits in original style in a wrestling ring which is a sea of riotous colour with bold reds, blues and greens with a fiesty audience seen all around. The audio is fabulous bringing engaging mariachi music and the cheers of the crowd which further emboldens the exciting atmosphere.

The gaming symbols mesh well with the Mexican flavours bringing in a lot of colourful detail and there are no symbols that do not belong there. There are chilli peppers, nachos, a trophy, the fightbelt, fight cards, fight posters, a radio commentator, a bottle of tequila and the headphone wearing referee. The highest paying symbols are the prize belt, the trophy and the referee offering players payouts of 500x for five of a kind. The other remaining gaming symbols offer payouts from between 200x, 125× and 75x for five of a kind.
Players will need to place at least three and up to five identical matching symbols on a payline to make wins which pay out from left to right. There are two wild symbols being the two wrestlers. Nacho Friend has big muscles and a blue and gold mask and Taco Malo wears a fiery red and black mask and they can substitute for all the other gaming symbols with the exception of the scatter symbols of which there are also two.
The first scatter symbol is the orange and yellow masked fighter Mucho Mayhem who pays players both ways and the other scatter symbol shown as a clenched fist pays from left to right except during the Fist of Fury Game Feature. Scatter wins are multiplied by the total bet for players. In addition, these scatter symbols also carry their own payouts with the Macho Mayhem fighter paying out 250 for five of a kind whilst the Fist pays out 25 for five of a kind and even pays out for two of a kind on the reels.
The wild wrestlers can appear in stacks on reel 3 and this is where things get exciting as when they cover the reel they will either randomly multiply a win that includes a wild of 2x, 3x or even 10x or they can jump over to another adjacent reel to increase winning potential for players. The Scatters are paid before the wrestler jumps.
The fun Time to Rumble Bonus feature is triggered when players land three Mucho Mayhem symbols on the reels. Players will then need to select one of the three wrestling moves they wish to employ to defeat the opponent. There are options with more risk and others with less offering varying combinations of free spins and win multipliers.
The fist scatter symbols appear on reels 1 and 2 during the free spins and if players land one of these including a Wrestler wild symbol on reel 3 the Fist of Fury Re-spin Bonus feature is activated and where up to four of the reels can be filled with Fist of Fury scatter symbols which means more rewards.
