Aztec Blaze

With this slot, players are taken to Mexico as they visit the home of the Aztec Empire. They arrive at an ancient temple, which is guarded by an array of different wild animals. Introducing Aztec Blaze, a slot that is loaded with features. The game is also very immersive, with visuals that pop against the plain background, an adventurous backing track, and various sound effects that will play whenever three or more symbols match.

This slot was produced by Pragmatic Play and has their signature user interface. Like with many games by this provider, there is also the option to buy the bonus instead of landing scatters during the base game. Pragmatic Play are a hugely established online casino games provider, who have produced other hit titles in the past, such as Extra Juicy Megaways, Book of Fallen, and The Hand of Midas.

Players can also bet an additional 60% in order to give them an extra life whenever the respin mode occurs, if they wish. We will talk about this bonus later on, but this betting option is unique when it comes to ante bets from Pragmatic. On a lot of their previous slots, the ante bets are directly related to the chance of unlocking free spins. Finally, Aztec Blaze has an RTP of 96.50%.

Aztec Blaze features the Jack, Queen, King, and Ace symbols which are seen frequently in online slots. Matching a total of 6 aces will award 1.4x the bet size. The premium symbols are linked to different animals, with a monkey, snake, crocodile, and bird. These award 4x, 4x, 6x, and 8x the bet size for matching 6, respectively.

The two special icons in this slot are the wild symbol, represented by the word ‘wild’ being set on fire, and the scatter symbol, which is displayed as a temple. Scatters are linked to the free spins mode, while wild icons can replace any existing symbol across a payline, except the aforementioned scatter.

There are two bonuses in Aztec Blaze. Let’s start by taking a look at the respin feature, which is activated if there is a winning combination within the base game. This triggers a mega symbol to land across one of the reels before the first respin is played. If the subsequent respin lands a combination of 3 or more symbols, the player will move up to a new level, before another respin occurs. 

This happens until there are no more matching combinations, with the maximum level being set at 6. During each level, the size of the mega symbol expands until level 3. From round 3 and onwards, the multiplier increases, with level 4, 5, and 6 awarding 2x, 3x, 5x, and 10x on all potential wins.

Like most people would expect from a Pragmatic Game, there is also the free spins bonus. This occurs when a scatter symbol lands on both reel 1 and 6. Free spins in Aztec Blaze are almost identical to the mode mentioned previously. However, players get five lives in total, or six if they opted for the additional bet. The same level system also applies.

With a massive variety of Aztec slots available to play, it's clear that this theme is a favourite amongst punters. Pragmatic Play games also tend to come with a variety of exciting features, which can help them to stand out from the crowd!
