Game Overview
Introduction
Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways™ is an Aztec themed slot from the game provider iSoftbet. The format of the slot is one of 6 reels where symbols ranging from 2 – 7 height will appear on them. This means that through the technology of the Megaways™ engine upon which the game operates, it’s possible to generate up to 117,649 paylines on any spin of the reels.
Players can expect high levels of action throughout their gameplay, with features that include cascading reels, mystery symbols, multipliers, fixed jackpots, bonus buys and a cash respins bonus feature.
Aztec Gold Extra Gold Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
As we’ve mentioned, and as the game title suggests, the theme is of course one of the Aztecs. This sees us presented with reels that are set in an ancient stone structure hidden away in the undergrowth, as the golden sun beams down upon them. The audio to the game is made up of wind and percussion instruments, which were heavily associated with the ancient Aztecs.
When it comes to the paytable on Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways™, we discover that the lower value symbols are made up of the classic royal cards 9 through to the ace, with pays reaching a maximum of 2x when wins are formed with them. The higher value and premium symbols are reserved for the Eagle, Snake, Jaguar, and Aztec Man, where a 6 of a kind win will pay 3x, 4x, 5x and 50x respectively.
Spinning the reels on Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways™ can cost as little as €0.20, with the max stake on the slot coming in at €20 a play. To the left of the screen you will see that you are presented with the option of activating the Extra Gold feature, this will give you an increased chance of triggering the bonus, but will come at a cost of an extra 25% added to your current stake. Your chances of hitting the bonus are increased because at a normal stake 5 scatters are required to trigger the bonus, whilst when the Extra Gold is active, you will only need 4 scatters to hit for the bonus to activate.
Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways™ Cascading Reels
We’re all now very well acquainted with the cascading reels mechanic, and this is again featured in the base game on Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways™. This particular in-game feature is a good way for players to build up winnings through just one staked spin, as we will now explain why.
When winning combinations of symbols are formed on Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways™, they are then eliminated from the reels. The symbols above them will then fall down to fill the spaces that have been left, but this will then leave a void above them.
New symbols are then dropped in from above to fill all remaining spaces. This can again provide more winning combos and this will cause the cycle to continue. The cascading reels feature will only end when no further winning connections can be formed.
Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways™ Mystery Symbols
An additional symbol that can randomly land during your base game play on Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways™ is the mystery symbol. This symbol is represented by the step pyramid and can land anywhere within the playfield. Once all of the reels have stopped, the mystery symbol will then transform into a randomly selected symbol from the paytable. Players should however note that it is not possible for it to transform into the scatter symbol.
Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways™ Cash Respin Bonus
The cash respin bonus on Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways™, is triggered through the cash respin scatter symbols landing anywhere in view. As we mentioned earlier, if you are playing the standard game then you will need 5 of these symbols to land for the feature to trigger. If however you are playing the Extra Gold Stake, then you will only need 4 of the scatters to land for the bonus to activate.
As the cash respin feature begins, there are a few points that you need to be aware of. Firstly, the scatters that you triggered the bonus with will stick and remain in place for the duration of the feature. Secondly, the amount of Megaways™ that you had in play when the feature was triggered will also remain constant for the length of the bonus. So the higher the amount you trigger the bonus with the better. Finally, the amount of rows on each reel will be represented with a multiplier at the top of that reel, this can come into play later on in the bonus.
So once the feature is under way you are initially given 3 spins, the main aim is to land as many new multiplier values on the reels as possible. Each time that a new multiplier is added your respins will be replenished back to 3. If you can complete a full column of winning values, then those amounts will be multiplied by the multiplier at the top of the reel, which can lead to some monumental wins.
Players should also be aware that along with the standard multiplier values, there are also 3 fixed jackpot amounts that can be won. These are the 30x Minor Jackpot, 100x Major Jackpot, and 1000x Mega Jackpot.
Aztec Gold Extra Gold Additional Modifiers
There are a couple of base game modifiers that can trigger on Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways™ that are worth mentioning. These have been highlighted and detailed below.
- Max Megaways™ – On any base game spin the Max Megaways™ modifier can trigger. This will guarantee that the next spin will roll in the full 117,649 ways to win.
- Sun Disc Boost – This modifier is also capable of triggering on any base game spin. When it is activated it will add a random amount of scatter symbols to the reels, which in turn increases your chances of triggering the bonus feature.
Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways™ Bonus Buy
For those that are playing from a region where the bonus buy option is still allowed. You are given two options if you would like to get instant access to the Cash Respins feature.
The first option is the standard bonus buy which will roll in a feature with a random reel configuration, and cost you 100x your stake. The second option is the upgraded bonus buy, where the Max Megaways™ reel configuration will roll in, this will cost you 150x your stake.
Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways™ Slot Review Final Thoughts
Some of you may already be aware that iSoftbet launched an original version of this game called Aztec Gold Megaways™, which was an extremely successful release for them, and their first slot in the Megaways™ niche. The team at iSoftbet obviously thought that there was still some room for improvement on the original game, and so we have been treated with this upgraded version.
The extra additions such as the Mystery Symbols and Max Megaways™, fall in line with the providers Twisted Tale series of slots that includes Queen of Hearts Megaways™, Morgana Megaways™ and Moriarty Megaways™, so even though the theme of the slot doesn’t quite fit in with those games, iSoftbet have clearly chosen to uniform the newer releases going forward.
Overall we feel the original game has been improved upon, and for those who are still able to buy the bonus, there is added excitement that you can trigger it with the Max Megaways™ and all of the potential that comes with that.
