Aztec Treasure Hunt (Pragmatic Play) Slot Demo & Review

The Aztecs were skilled farmers and even more skilled warriors who loved drinking chocolate, playing a game similar to volleyball, and carrying out human sacrifices. That is all the knowledge I can remember from school way back when I used to listen to everything my teachers said and got my homework in on time, 100% without fail, and without the use of any AI tools like most people would need these days. Believe me or not, but either way, my general knowledge is not why we’re here; we’re actually here to see what Pragmatic Play’s latest slot is all about. Aztec Treasure Hunt is a 5×3 slot with 20 fixed paylines, a maximum win of 5,000x the stake, and a 96.03% RTP.

Feature-wise, the slot has a money collection feature that’s the centre of both the base game and a free spins bonus. You’ll receive cash prizes of up to 50x the stake as standard, while wild collectors can also hold multiplier values up to 50x that apply to those cash symbols. As for that free spins bonus, the cash symbols are collected in a treasure chest, which pays out its full amount, sometimes multiplied, whenever wilds land.

Is this slot worth a try, or is it a slot to be filed in the ‘meh’ category? You’ll only know after playing it for yourself, and the way to do that without risk is to use the Aztec Treasure slot demo below.

Aztec Treasure Hunt Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Aztec Paytable

Although less popular than Ancient Egyptian-themed slots, the Aztecs have had many titles formed around their civilisation. I think the first one that really hit the mark and is still an iconic slot to this day is NetEnt’s Gonzo’s Quest, and usually, when one developer scores a hit with a theme, others try to latch onto its coattails with similarly themed releases. Of the more modern Aztec slots, I’d recommend trying BGaming’s quirky cluster pays slot, Aztec Clusters, and iSoftbet’s Aztec Gold Megaways.

Moving on to the Aztec Treasure Hunt paytable, I have to say there’s nothing spectacular here, and in fact, the symbol payouts, in general, are on the low side. The Wild symbol and the Aztec Statue share a 50x the stake payout for five in a row, while the Blue and Green Aztec Warriors return up to 30x and 20x, respectively. The Axe and Sword are the remaining premium symbols, and these pay 15x and 10x for 5-symbol combos, while the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten are worth up to 6x, 5x, 4x, 3x, and 2x.

You know you’re always guaranteed a solid bet selection when playing a Pragmatic Play slot, and the options on Aztec Treasure Hunt range from a minimum of €0.20 a spin up to a maximum of €125.00.

Firmly rooted in an Aztec temple setting, the gaming grid features 5 reels and 3 rows, which hold 15 symbols each spin and 20 fixed paylines. Players can expect payouts whenever 3 or more matching symbols form on one of those paylines, starting from the leftmost reel.


Money Collection Feature

Like me, learning this slot has a money-collect feature will probably make you do a double-take at the title to ensure it isn’t a fishing-themed slot. Pragmatic Play usually reserves this type of feature for slots with hooks, reels (of the fishing kind), bait, and fish; however, it’s now crossed over to Aztec Treasure Hunt.

Money symbols can appear in any position across the reels, holding values of 0.5x to 50x the stake. As you probably know, these mean nothing until a Wild/Collect symbol lands simultaneously to scoop them up and pay you. The wilds can even hold multipliers of between 2x and 50x to enhance the potential rewards that can come your way greatly.

Those money symbols play their part in the Aztec Treasure Hunt free spins bonus, which triggering requires the small matter of landing 5 or more Money symbols simultaneously.


Free Spins Feature

Those money symbols reward 9 free spins of the reels, and before they play out, the values of the triggering cash icons are collected in a treasure chest to the right of the reels. Any further cash symbols landing throughout the bonus game also get scooped up into that chest, while wild symbols that land will pay you that current value multiplied by their multiplier values. You’ll receive an additional 3 free spins in return for spins revealing 5 or more money symbols.


Bonus Buy

You can buy yourself into the above free spins bonus for 100x your current stake using the Buy Bonus feature. Just note the bonus buy is only available in regions where it is allowed.


Pros

  • The Wild Collectors potentially holding big multipliers is where the big wins can occur.

Cons

  • Low 5,000x max win.

Aztec Treasure Hunt Slot Review Final Thoughts

Playing Aztec Treasure felt similar to their previous release, Black Bull, in many ways. However, this title differentiates itself via the Wild Symbol Collectors, which can spice up payouts through multipliers. I personally wouldn’t regard this as a masterpiece, but I can see why many will find it appealing.
