In Fortunes of the Aztec by Pragmatic Play, players are taken on a journey deep into the Mexican jungle to ancient Aztec temples, where they will have a chance to uncover fortunes of the Aztecs. So, you could say the title of this online slot is incredibly fitting.
An immersive and authentically Aztec experience is on offer in this game that has six reels and a whopping 4,096 paylines, with the artwork and design only serving to enhance that experience and add to the authenticity.
As always, this developer is pragmatic in their approach. Pragmatic Play, aptly named, know what players want and expect, such as a free spins round, but then factor in a win multiplier that won’t reset at the end of each go. It’s typical of this studio, one of the most respected in the industry.
Other impressive games offered by Pragmatic are the likes of Forge of Olympus, Wild Celebrity Bus Megaways and Rabbit Garden.
You could describe the artwork and graphics in Fortune of the Aztec as Azteccy as they come. What you’d expect to see when loading a game that is based on the Aztecs is precisely what you get here, and this includes the symbols on the reels as well as what’s going on around them.
There are six royal icons to kick things off – 9, 10, J, Q, K and A – and they pay between 0.5x and 1.5x the bet. Players will be pleased to know there are four premium symbols that follow, and they are the blue fish, green head, red mask and gold mask. They can pay between 2x and 20x for five of a kind. There is a wild, which works as a substitute, and a scatter, which will trigger the free spins bonus round.
There are several bonus features in Fortunes of the Aztec, and they begin with the Tumble System. As everyone probably knows by now, many slots have a mechanic where icons involved in a winning combination are removed from the game area and replaced by those above tumbling into the spaces vacated. As a result, chains of tumbles can occur in the same round.
A win multiplier will increase by 1x every time the reels are emptied in full due to tumbles occurring. The multiplier will reset after each spin in the base game, but this isn’t the case in the free spins feature.
Talking of the free spins feature, three scatters in view on the reels simultaneously will trigger it. But it’s a case of the more triggering scatters, the more free rounds a player will have on their hands. Three, four, five or six scatters will deliver twelve, fifteen, twenty or twenty-five free spins, respectively.
As mentioned above, the win multiplier can come into play and stay in play in the free spins round, which is definitely a plus. Adding more free spins to the running total is also possible, with three, four, five or six more scatters producing a further five, seven, ten or twelve free rounds.
When Pragmatic Play roll into town, or in this case, the Mexican jungle, you know there’s going to be a fun experience to be had on PartyCasino. Fortunes of the Aztec is yet more great work from this developer, and they take basic ideas such as the theme and the free spins feature, enhancing them further with great visuals and a rising win multiplier, for example, respectively.
