Wheel of Mictlan Demo (Play'n Go) Slot Demo & Review

Slot Overview

Wheel of Mictlan is a high-volatility video slot from Play’n GO that’s based on Aztec mythology and aggressive bonus mechanics, offering a massive maximum win potential of up to 40,000x! With expanding Wilds, Free Spins, and a Bonus Wheel round, there’s a lot going on, but is it too much, or can this dark mythological slot deliver? Read on to find out!

Theme & Design

Wheel of Mictlan is based on a Mesoamerican theme, and you’ll see a lot of theme-specific imagery, all of which centres on temples, carved stone idols, golden animal totems, and the presence of the god of death, Mictlantecuhtli. 

It’s nicely designed, although it’s definitely a bit more “cartoon-like” than many of the games we’ve seen from Play’n Go recently. Of course, if you’re familiar with games like Aztec Empire or Aztec Powernudge, you’ll recognise this kind of theme immediately.

Wheel of Mictlan Gameplay & Bonus Features

Wheel of Mictlan runs on a five-reel, three-row layout with 10 fixed paylines. Wins are formed from left to right. You can bet from €0.05 up to €100 per spin, and the game boasts a default RTP of 96.20%, although, as is common with Play’n Go slots, lower configurations are available.

The game has a “Flip Wild”, and this substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter and Bonus icons. Now, when two or more Flip Wilds land, each has a 50% chance of transforming into a full-reel Expanded Wild. During the Free Spins, however, you only need to land one Flip Wild to have a chance of the expanding mechanic triggering.

The Free Spins themselves are triggered by landing three Scatter symbols in view, and doing so awards 10 free games. You can re-trigger these, up to a maximum of 140 in total, and during the bonus round all the base game mechanics remain active, with more frequent Bonus Wheel triggers (info below.)

Whenever you see the Bonus symbol landing on the reels, there’s a chance of triggering the Bonus Wheel game. Landing three symbols always triggers this feature. When triggered, one of four outcomes is awarded:

• A win multiplier that applies to all reel wins
• An instant cash prize
• Extra Free Spins (if inside the bonus)
• Entry to the Cashpot feature

The Cashpot feature takes you to a match-style mini-game that awards one of three fixed prizes. Here, you can win up to 5,000x your bet.
