Inspired by the game’s two energetic themes – Fiesta de los Vivos™ (the festival of the living) and Fiesta de las Calacas™ (the festival of the skeletons), the event transformed the casino floor into a spirited celebration with Day of the Dead decor, live mariachi band, confetti cannons and stunning visuals throughout the property, bringing the game’s festive setting to life.
VIP guests received themed giveaways and were among the first to experience Mariachi Fortunes Trio. During the VIP free-play event, more than 20 hand-pays were paid out totaling nearly $75,000.
Additionally, AGS representatives, property executives, and Sandia Resort & Casino employees gathered to commemorate the occasion with a ceremonial ribbon cutting.
“Mariachi Fortunes Trio has seen tremendous success since its debut in July and continues to build momentum across the country,” said Mark DeDeaux, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Slots, AGS.
“These games – along with their immersive theme, rich features and stellar bonus options – being first to market in New Mexico is a celebration of the fan-favorite brand and our special partnership with Sandia.”
Mariachi Fortunes Trio was soft-launched on October 15 and will be available at Sandia for a limited time before expanding to casino floors across the region.

Mariachi Fortunes Trio™
Mariachi Fortunes Trio transports players to a vibrant celebration of life and tradition with two energetic themes—'Fiesta de los Vivos' and 'Fiesta de las Calacas'. Each version is filled with colorful art, upbeat mariachi music, and festive symbols like piñatas, sombreros, and glowing neon animals such as the axolotl.
The game is a triple-pot, hold-and-spin experience where players collect coins on each of the mariachi characters’ hats to unlock unique bonuses. These can unlock new reel windows, collect all coin values on screen, split coins into two or three matching values for bigger wins, or combine for powerful bonus outcomes.
A second-chance nudge may activate when spins run out, keeping the energy high and wins in play. Mariachi Fortunes Trio is available on AGS’ Spectra SL49+™ and large-format Spectra SL75+™ cabinets, delivering immersive gameplay with high-definition visuals and bold cabinet presence.
