Game Overview
The Aztecs are a fascinating topic of conversation, and recently, I’ve been finding out more about them in the Ancient Apocalypse series, which is well worth a watch and offers up a different theory as to what modern archaeology would have you believe. I guess that’s a nice enough little intro to lead into the Fortunes of the Aztec slot from Pragmatic Play, which perhaps isn’t going to change your views on the distant past, but this 6-reel game does come with 4,096 ways to win, an RTP of 96.42%, and a maximum win of 10,000x bet.
Checking in on the feature set, I can tell you this is a cascading reels slot, so all symbols involved in winning combos will be removed and replaced with new wins for extra chances to win. We have the inclusion of a Win Multiplier too, which will increment in value each time you clear an entire reel of its symbols. Finally, a free spins feature is triggered when at least three scatters land in view. During this round, the win multiplier will not reset between losing spins, and a full reel wild is guaranteed to land on one of the reels every spin.
Okay fellow adventurers, Quetzalcoatl and the rest of the Aztec Gods await our arrival. So, what do you say? Shall we go and see what we can find in our Fortunes of the Aztec demo slot? Let’s go; it’s ready to play below.
Fortunes Of The Aztec Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
There’s one thing for sure when it comes to the Aztecs, and that is they are no strangers to being the theme of an online slot. A quick peruse around our game library or the search bar will reveal a hatful of titles for you to explore if this is a slot genre that ticks all of the boxes for you. I suppose it would be rude of me to plug the Aztec niche and not throw you in a couple of suggestions, so I’d recommend checking out the fantastic Montezuma from SG Gaming or iSoftbet’s Aztec Gold Megaways, which has a top prize of 12,000x bet.
Let’s jump into the paytable on Pragmatic’s Fortunes of Aztec, and the highest paying symbol in the game is a gold mask worth 20x bet for a six of a kind win. This is followed by the red mask at 5x, the green mask at 2.5x, and the final premium value symbol, the fish, valued at 2x the bet for a winning combo of six. The low pays come in the form of six royal symbols, with the Ace paying 1.5x for all six, the King worth 1x, the Queen and Jack sharing equal payouts of 0.6x, and last but not least, the Ten and Nine, both paying 0.5x for a six of a kind hit. Wild symbols appear on reels 3, 4, 5, and 6 only, substituting for all other regular in-game symbols.
Staking options begin at just €0.20 a spin, with the maximum price per play reaching an eye-watering €100. As we now expect from Pragmatic Play, there are numerous betting possibilities for players to choose from within this range, making the slot accessible to punters with lower balances as well as those with cash to burn.
Base Game & Modifiers
Fortunes of the Aztec is set across a 6×4 reel matrix, a classic formation of a 4,096 payline slot, which is precisely what we have here. Wins will be awarded for three or more matching symbols landing on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel first. All wins will result in a reel cascade taking place, with winning symbols being removed and new ones dropping down to replace them.
Win Multiplier
Each spin will begin with a win multiplier of x1 in play. Every time all symbols are removed from an entire reel in a winning combination the multiplier will increment by a further +1 in value. When the sequence of wins comes to an end, the total winnings will be multiplied by the value of the win multiplier.
Fortunes Of The Aztec Slot Bonus Features
Scatter symbols are present on reels 2 – 6 and landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 of them will trigger the bonus round and award you with 12, 15, 20, or 25 free spins respectively.
Free Spins Feature
Whilst the free spins are active, you are guaranteed that a full reel wild will land in view. I didn’t see this stated in the rules, but this seemed to be the case in every feature I had. Furthermore, the win multiplier you accrue in the feature will be carried over onto each spin and not reset back to x1. Extra spins can be won by hitting 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters, with 5, 7, 10, and 12 additional spins being added respectively.
Bonus Buy
Those who can’t wait to trigger the bonus round organically can utilise the bonus buy button if it is active. This will come at the cost of 100x the current bet.
Pros
- A well-known theme that tends to be popular with players.
- The maximum win of 10,000x bet.
Cons
- Varied RTP levels are offered to operators, which quite frankly sucks.
- Some of the features can be incredibly low paying.
Final Thoughts
I do enjoy playing Aztec themed games, but they can come across as just being a little bit lazy from the developers, especially in the case of Pragmatic Play, who have more than most in this particular genre of online slot. You may disagree and get a good bit of mileage out of Fortunes of Aztec, but for me, the time I spent reviewing the slot was more than enough.
