About Azteca Gold
Azteca Gold is one of many Aztec-themed slots you can find online. With no shortage of them, MetaGU will have to do something impressive to make this one stand out. The game itself is barebones stuff, featuring 5 reels and just 10 paylines. You can have a crack at the slot for as little as 0.10 per spin (with all ten lines active), rising to 10.00 a turn. It may not be expensive, but Azteca Gold hardly brings much to the table, either. There is a non-progressive jackpot that is worth a paltry five thousand times your bet, and even the RTP is marginally dipping below the industry standard at 95.72%. This colourful, mobile-friendly game just seems to lack a few features towards its business end, and that could hold it back.
Special Features
A conventional wild symbol can be found and used in Azteca Gold. This can act as the joint top-paying symbol in the game and replace all standard paying icons in the game.
Expect to win up to 5,000 coins in this game. It is a non-progressive prize, can be yours if you land five of crowned jackpot emblems anywhere in view. They act as scatters; so, they don’t need to appear on a line.
There is a Fortune Wheel bonus, too, but that is hardly worth mentioning, as it seldom delivers wins of any substance. There is also a free spin icon. One of the features that does appear in Azteca Gold is the drop mode. This has been a thing in many similarly themed games ever since Gonzo’s Quest introduced Tumbling Reels all those years ago. That primarily takes effect during the Free Drops round, which we’ll come to just now.
Bonus Feature
Acquiring three scatters (totem, God-like emblems) will trigger the Free Drops round. This is a free spin slot feature in everything but name. Here, every free spin will see a cascading reels mechanic provide multiple free drops until no new wins occur. For instance, landing a win will see you get consistent free drops (and not diminish your free spin counter) until no new wins occur.
There is also a conventional free spin bonus round in this game, and it can bestow two, four or even six free spins when two, three or five idol symbols appear on the base game’s reels. Up to 600x a bet can be won in this feature.
