Fortunes of the Aztec

Fortunes of the Aztec is a visually striking online slot from Pragmatic Play that immerses players in the ancient world of the Aztec civilization. The game features a 6×4 grid layout set against a backdrop of Aztec pyramids, lush foliage, and a cascading waterfall, creating an atmosphere that is both serene and captivating. The slot's symbols include colorful carved blocks depicting standard card royals (9, 10, J, Q, K, A) as the lower-paying symbols, while the high-paying symbols are represented by a fish and three distinct Aztec statue heads.

The game incorporates a tumbling reels (cascading) mechanic, where winning symbols are removed from the reels after paying out, allowing new symbols to fall into place and potentially create additional wins. This feature is enhanced by a global win multiplier that increases by +1 each time an entire reel is cleared via the tumbling mechanic. The multiplier resets between base game spins but remains persistent throughout the free spins round.

Fortunes of the Aztec also features a wild symbol, depicted as an Aztec chief, which appears on reels 3, 4, 5, and 6. The wild substitutes for all paying symbols, helping to create winning combinations. The scatter symbol, appearing on reels 2 through 6, is the key to triggering the free spins round. Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters awards 12, 15, 20, or 25 free spins, respectively. During the free spins, the global win multiplier does not reset, offering the potential for significant payouts.

The slot offers a bonus buy feature in certain jurisdictions, allowing players to purchase direct entry into the free spins round for 100 times their chosen bet size. With a maximum win potential of 10,000x the player's stake, high volatility, and a default RTP of 96.42%, Fortunes of the Aztec delivers an exciting and potentially rewarding gaming experience.
