ELK documents 243 betways, volatility 6/10, respins, sliding/running wilds, multipliers and the Wild Escape bonus game. The public page does not publish one universal RTP.
Running Wild brothers
The Taco Brothers can move across the reels as special wild characters. Movement creates a sequence of related outcomes, so the feature’s value comes from persistence and repeated evaluations rather than from a single static wild substitution.
Respin route
The base game includes respin behaviour that can create extra chances to enter or extend feature action. A respin should be counted as part of the original feature sequence when reviewing session results, not as evidence of a separate “hot” period.
Wild Escape bonus
The Wild Escape bonus combines character movement, free-spin style play and escape mechanics. The important educational distinction is between a trigger condition, which is random, and the deterministic rules that govern what happens after the feature has started.
Multipliers and 243 betways
Multipliers alter win size while 243 betways define how matching symbols connect. Those are different parts of the math model: one affects payout amount, the other defines qualifying combinations.
Where it sits in ELK Studios's catalogue
Taco Brothers is therefore best compared with games sharing its 243 betways, running wilds, respins and Wild Escape bonus mechanics structure rather than simply with games using the same theme.

Session takeaway
Taco Brothers should be approached as a rules-and-maths problem, not a pattern-prediction problem.
