As for the base game, this slot features 5 reels with 20 paylines to bet on. You can win up to 2500x your bet or 50,000 coins. The interesting element is that in today’s highly volatile slot market, this iSoftBet release features low to medium volatility. Furthermore, the RTP value is quite worthwhile at 96.28%. Let us dive deeper into this Great Aztec slot review and analyse the game in detail.

The standard base gameplay loop of iSoftBet’s Great Aztec slot is quite simple. The reel structure is the modern classic 5×3. There are 20 active paylines to score on and multiple payline wins are combined. To score on a payline you will need to land 3 identical symbols starting from the left-most reel and going to the right. Only the highest win is paid per line.

Moreover, the regular symbols of the game are your bread and butter. There are 9 of them and they all represent different Aztec motifs or wild animals of the jungle. The wild symbol also appears in the base game substituting for regular symbols and it even has its own payout value.

Additional special symbols appear in the base game as well but we will cover them in the extra features section.

The Great Aztec allows for several betting options so let us cover them all. First is the classic one of placing a bet and trying to score on paylines. The wagering range is anywhere between $0.2 and $20. Secondly, you can activate the Extra Gold ante bet that will increase your chances of scoring the bonus for 1.25x your bet. Thirdly, you can choose to forgo scoring on paylines and buy the Hold and Win bonus automatically for 60x or 200x your bet for the super version.

Whatever option you choose the maximum win will always be 2500x the wager. Furthermore, the volatility factor is medium allowing balanced hit rates and payouts. The overall return-to-player value is 96.28% which is quite decent for modern slots.

As for regular symbol payouts, the most you can get is by matching 5 symbols in a payline. Low-win symbols will get you up to 2.5x your bet. The high-win symbols will let you score anywhere from 5x to 20x your bet. Wilds also have payout values and you can get 25x your bet for 5 of them.

There are a few extra features in this game with the main ones being jackpots, mystery symbols, and the Hold and Win feature. Let us cover each one:

• Mystery Symbols – These will appear randomly in the base game and reveal any paid symbol except the Sun Disc Scatter.
• Sun Disc Scatter – Landing 4 or more of these will award Aztec Gold Respins.
• Aztec Magic – On any spin, Aztec Magic can trigger randomly and reveal a big reward with mystery symbols or the Aztec Gold Respins. If the player triggers Aztec Gold Respins and also triggers the Booster modified, all the scatter symbols will be multiplied before the bonus game. If the player lands 3 scatters they can trigger a second chance where scatters lock and the remaining reels spin for the 4^th
• Aztec Gold Respins – When you trigger this bonus game the board will change into the Hold and Win-style reels. All Sun Disc Scatters remain on the board with cash prizes and you get 3 respins to attempt to land as many as you can. Landing any symbol refreshes the respins to 3. Complete a horizontal line or vertical line to multiply all wins by x5 or x3 respectively. This is also where you can get the Mini (10x), Minor (25x), Major (50x), or Mega (100x) jackpots for a big win. The game ends when you run out of respins or when you fill the board and you get a combined reward of all cash prizes.

As you can see, the base game will revolve around scoring high-win symbols with the help of wilds and mystery symbols. Aztec Magic will also help in triggering the Link and Win bonus game.
