Review of the Aztec's Treasure

This game has an unashamedly South American feel to it that to be honest is slightly on the kitsch side, but it works. The graphics are suitably lush and highly stylised, making it extremely visually pleasing.

Like many slots in this genre, the symbols include a set of high playing card insignias, and the designers of this game clearly went to town, making images that have you believing they could almost have been carved into a stone on a temple wall.

Beyond the cards, there's a great selection of imagery, including a beautiful princess, golden jewellery, a weird priest dude with an ornate feathered headpiece, and more besides.

The game is fast paced, but you can actually control the speed at which it happens, which is handy, particularly if you're planning to enable the built-in Auto-play feature.

One word of advice this game has a progressive jackpot attached to it which is randomly triggered: I have no idea what sets it off, it could even be on a combination that wouldn't otherwise win. But its existence means that there's value in betting high, because it pays out in chunks relative to your original wager. It would be a shame to hit it on a wager of 1c, for instance.

Wild Symbol:
The wild symbol in this game is a strange and crusty looking Aztec King – he turns up only on the middle 3 reels. This guy can be used to complete any combination that would normally win. One small gripe – unlike most other games in this genre, he doesn't multiply the winning, he just rescues it. Also, there's no payout for getting a combination of him.

Scatter Symbol:
There's a scatter symbol in this game, represented by a chunky little golden idol. If you land two or more scatters anywhere, you earn yourself an instant payout, which is a multiple of your initial bet, the top limit being 100 coins. Also, if you land three or more ...

Free Spins:
... you get free spins!  Three scatter symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the free games feature, which is as close to a bonus round as this game gets. The first time this happens, you will totally fall in love with that chubby idol he's so generous, I love him.

Depending on how many scatters appear, you can earn up to 25 free spins of the reels and anything you win is automatically TRIPPLED. What's more, this feature is re-triggerable, meaning you can earn more free spins during your free spin rounds if you hit more scatters even a single scatter earns you more spins during free spin mode.
