Aztec Magic Megaways

BGaming continues its fascination with the mysteries of ancient Mesoamerica in Aztec Magic Megaways, their first-ever Megaways release.

Honoring the Aztec culture is not new to BGaming. Following very successful titles in the series like Aztec Magic, Aztec Magic Deluxe, and Aztec Magic Bonanza, the studio decided to update the series with a new release. This slot once again transports players deep into the jungle with a recognizable visual identity that we came to know and love. Only this time, we are also taking Megaways with us!

BGaming signed a deal with Big Time Gaming which allowed them to use the Megaways mechanics in the game. The result is a fascinating game with average potential and stunning visuals.

Read the rest of the review to see whether this Megaways installment adds enough excitement to stand out in a crowded market or if it’s just another spin on a well-worn theme.

Okay, so BGaming has lots of Aztec themed online slots. Aztec Magic Megaways is in fact a sequel in the Aztec Magic series, as it’s the game that is bearing the Megaways mechanics. In fact, it’s the game that introduces Megaways to BGaming’s portfolio in a grand colossal way.

Playing Aztec Magic Megaways takes a little focus, that’s all. The whole process is straightforward.

First, set your bet size. It’s possible to choose from $0.10 up to $20 per spin, depending on your bankroll. When you have a ready bet, you can spin the reels. Click the spin and watch as the number of symbols per reel (2–7) changes every spin, producing up to 117,649 possible win combinations. That’s the power of Megaways.

Then, winning takes matching icons on adjacent reels. Land 3–6 identical symbols on adjacent reels from left to right to score a win that can be big. The number of icons – and their size – determine the payout.

BGaming keeps the betting range relatively tight, catering mostly to casual players rather than high rollers. Payouts for regular symbols range from 0.5x to 10x the stake for six-of-a-kind wins, with the two premium character symbols sitting at the top end of the paytable. Multipliers applied by wilds can significantly boost wins, especially when combined. The game’s max win potential of around 12,960x makes it appealing for those chasing big scores despite the lack of cascading wins, which is unusual for a Megaways title.

Aztec Magic Megaways keeps its feature set simple yet effective:

Wild Multipliers

Wilds land on reels 2–5. When they land, they can appear with random multipliers of x1, x2, or x3. When they participate in a win, you get the win boosted by the Multiplier.

If more than one wild is used in a win, their multipliers combine for bigger payouts. This allows you to score more and better.

Free Spins with Sticky Wilds

The game’s main feature is the Free Spins round. It’s unlockable with Scatters, as always.

During the free spins round, wilds appear on the grid along with other, regular icons. However, these Wilds have a special ability: they’re sticky. When they land, they stick in place until the feature ends, ramping up the potential for huge wins. This is actually the best way to reach the game’s maximum win capacity.

Bonus Buy Option

The game is also a Buy Bonus slot. That means that the game allows you to skip the wait and trigger the free spins instantly for 100x your stake. There are a few things to have in mind, though.

Buy Bonus is not available while Chance x2 is active. Moreover, in some markets, it is not possible to use this feature at all.

BGaming’s Aztec Magic Megaways runs smoothly on all devices. It’s the same as with all their games – they are all perfectly working on all platforms, making little difference between bigger and smaller screens.

The clean layout, vibrant visuals, and intuitive controls make it a seamless experience on smartphones and tablets. If you want to play on mobile, search for mobile casino apps – or just hit the casino directly from your mobile browser.

Theme, Visuals & Sound

The slot captures the Aztec theme with lush greenery, stone columns, glowing fireflies, and ambient jungle sounds. The design is bright but not overly complex, which makes for a pleasant but slightly understated visual experience.

Players expecting an immersive cinematic adventure might find the presentation a bit too subdued compared to other Megaways hits like Gonzo’s Quest Megaways.

If you like this theme, you should definitely check out other BGaming games such as Aztec Magic Bonanza – that one’s a lot of fun.

Our Experience Playing Aztec Magic Megaways

There’s nothing special to say that we haven’t before.

During our testing procedure, the gameplay was smooth and reliable, with frequent smaller hits that kept us entertained while waiting for bigger wins. We must note that the big wins are relatively possible through Multipliers, so focus on that feature more than basic gameplay.

Other boosters, such as Free Spins, felt regular and normal, nothing special to write home about. However, the absence of cascading reels was noted. That’s a staple of Megaways slots, so eliminating it from the game felt like an odd choice. It somehow made the base game feel slightly flat over longer sessions. The potential for 12,960x wins is enticing, but hitting such a high win will require a lot of patience so be warned.
