aztec blaze slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

So, another Aztec-themed slot, then? The Mayan and Aztec civilisations present a wealth of inspiration for game developers. There were many slots based around these cultures years before a certain NetEnt game caused a literal explosion of such games. I’m referring to Gonzo’s Quest, of course, which was a fantastic slot, don’t get me wrong, but I didn’t ever quite understand how it became as big as it did. Let’s face it, most of us pick our favourite machines based on how generous they have been to us in the past, and I guess Gonzo just hasn’t been kind enough to me to deserve my blessings. Could Aztec Blaze be a different story? Let’s examine the paytable and find out!

Argh, another game with seemingly indescribable picture symbols… I love that, don’t you? We have a ummm… red bird with flaming eyes – a Phoenix, perhaps? That will pay you 8x your bet for a full pay line of six-of-a-kind, followed by a pretty nasty looking frog at 6x, a blue Spiky thing at 4x, and some sort of purple head with glowing red eyes (a Bitcoin fan, perhaps?) who also pays 4x your stake for all six of his symbols on a line. Four royals complete the lower half of the paytable, but the returns for those symbols are frankly not even worth mentioning. These payouts sound very small, but as we will soon be discussing, the colossal symbol feature adds a multiplier of up to 10x to these wins.

The usual Pragmatic Play wager selection setup is all present and correct here – either use the plus and minus buttons to control your wager or change the coin value and number of coins for more granular control over the total bet. These options give you minimum and maximum wagers of €0.25 and €125.00 per round – more than enough for anybody, I’d say!

base game & MODIFIERS

The large 6x4 playfield could have just been used as a standard reel set, but Pragmatic Play was having none of that! There are 25 fixed paylines spanning the grid, but the real pull of this game is the colossal symbols and the multipliers they employ.

aztec blaze slot bonus features

The free spins bonus round is a little unique, as it works similarly to the re-spin modifier in the base game. This is most likely the reason why you only require two scatter symbols to trigger the bonus round.

You start your feature with five lives, meaning you can afford five dead spins before your bonus terminates. Additionally, the level boosts from the regular re-spin feature are maintained even after a dead spin in this mode. I even managed to reach the 10x multiplier on two occasions – albeit on my very last spin!

The paytable mentions that you can retrigger this feature by hitting two more scatters during the bonus round. However, I never managed this during my game testing. This would be truly fantastic though if you manage to build up to a 10x multiplier and then score a couple of retriggers – I suspect that will be the way to get yourself up to the 2,000x jackpot.
