treasures of aztec z slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Let’s be honest here; the name of this one – Treasures of Aztec Z – is slightly silly. Why not just call the game Treasures of the Aztecs? Perhaps Playstar just really likes the letter Z – I have no idea, but I’m sure their titling decision won’t help them regarding the search engines! Furthermore, the market has been flooded by Aztec-themed games ever since the release of Gonzo’s Quest – recent examples include Aztec Bonanza, Aztec Gold Extra Gold Megaways (another ridiculous title, by the way, iSoftBet!), and, Treasures of Aztec?! Yes, it seems that PG Soft has already published a game with a very similar title, but it’s a very different machine in all but name. There’s plenty of competition here then, so how does Playstar’s alternative pay?

The first thing you will notice after opening the Treasures of Aztec Z slot paytable is that every symbol is listed with a payout for just a single symbol. Any number of wilds can pay between 1x and 10,000x the total bet, which seems frankly ridiculous, if I’m honest. How on earth do you calculate an RTP if the payout for your highest-paying symbol is random? There are six more paying symbols, and it’s worth taking a look at them on the paytable because the reels are littered with other junk that does not pay anything. Of the six that do, the payouts for a single symbol are 0.5x, 0.3x, 0.2x, 0.1x, 0.06x, and 0.02x. Hitting multiple symbols across the reels can increase these payouts by up to 6x, but that still isn’t going to get you very far! To win something respectable, you are going to need to win many times during a single round – either that or get extremely lucky with the wild symbol payouts. This setup sure is different; there’s no denying that. 

The minimum possible bet on this machine is higher than most at €0.50 per round. I’m not entirely sure why that is, but it’s probably related to the very unusual payout mechanics. The maximum bet is relatively low too, at just €6.00 per spin, which might upset some of the richer Asian players who this machine is almost certainly aimed at. 

treasures of aztec z base game

I’ve played a couple of other online slots with mechanics similar to Treasures of Aztec Z, but I rationalised that those machines were as strange as they were because they were based around the famous (and hugely popular) Chinese tile game Mahjong. This game, however, is an entirely different proposition – it looks like a regular slot machine with its six reels of four rows each, along with a Megaways-style horizontal reel at the top of the playfield. Winning only requires a single symbol on the leftmost reel, but the catch is that most symbols on the reel strips are completely worthless!
