Aztec Magic

Theme

The Aztec civilization and empire flourished in Central America and, during a period of about 2 centuries, they developed rich cultural life with a strong economy and spiritual practices.

Today…

…the only remainders of this once great empire are the famous stepped pyramids with staircases leading to the shrines on the top.

The lifestyle, legends, and myths of this long-gone empire…

…have been attracting a lot of attention from all over the world.

Software developers often use historic themes as their main inspiration, and those involving lost empires and civilizations are especially popular among players. So…

…it’s no wonder Aztecs are the reoccurring theme in the world of fruit machines.

When it comes to this title…

…in the background we can see green Mexican mountains, valleys, and forests. The stone cut reels are situated at the top of the hill, with traditional Aztec symbols engraved into stones.

The soundtrack…

…features flute and tribal drums and follows the theme perfectly. Visually, the release is well – done with crisp and colorful graphics and design.

Betting Options and Symbols

Aztec Magic slot is played on 5 reels, 3 rows, and 15 pay-lines.

Punters can adjust the bet value and the number of lines they want to play on. The bet value goes from 0.01 to 3 $ which means that the max bet per spin is 45 $.

AND…

…when it comes to symbols, there are standard 10, J, Q, K and A as low – value icons. The last two are the highest paying among them and will get you 75 x bet value for landing 5 on a line. 

The high – value icons are the 3 Aztec symbols engraved in stone, and if you manage to line 5 of a kind, you could be rewarded with as much as 500 x bet value. 

Special Features

The icon players have grown used to seeing in most modern video slots is the Wild.

In this title, the Wild comes in the form of a tribal shaman whose eyes are glowing red. He can substitute for all regular symbols bar the Scatter.

If the Wild is part of the winning combination, it will TRIPPLE the winnings. The Wild is part of the paytable with 5.000 x bet value if you manage to land 5 on a line.

ALSO:

Present on the reels is the Scatter, aka the Aztec priestess. She’s holding a knife and a golden cup, obviously ready to perform a sacrificial ritual. Getting 3 or more Scatters anywhere in the view will trigger 10 bonus spins.

There’s more:

After every winning spin, players are given the opportunity to activate the Gamble feature. They are taken to the mini card game where they have to guess the color of the hidden card. If they guess correctly, the win from the previous spin will double and if they don’t, their win is annulled.

Conclusion

All in all, there is nothing innovative or groundbreaking in the case of this slot. The developer BGaming made sure it features standard gameplay with a nice package of extras. The bonus rounds and the Wild multiplier are always great additions and will be appreciated by the players.
