How to Play pokie

Aztec Bonanza is a video slot that features 5 reels and 30 symbols across the 6x5 symbol matrix. Initially, you will play with the reels of different height:

  1. 2 symbols on the first and last reels.
  2. 4 symbols on the second and fourth reels.
  3. 6 symbols on the central reel.

You can bet up to 10 coins valued from 1 to 50 cents per line (from 30 cents to 150 euro per spin). The bet must be a 30 fold.

The slot offers basic symbols, mystery symbols, free spins with bonus options, as well as Tumble Feature and Symbol Unlocking Feature.

Hit 3, 4, or 5 same symbols at the adjacent reels and land a winning combination. All combinations at each active line must begin from the leftmost reel. Payoffs depend on the current bet and multipliers.

Any win triggers the Tumble Feature, which extends the round. If it plays 2 and more times in a row, it starts the Symbol Unlocking. Find out more below in the review of Aztec Bonanza at Casinoz.

All money goes to the player's balance at the end of each spin. A gamble feature is not suggested.

The video slot invites the users to South America, where ancient Aztec temples are hidden in the jungles. You will see a pyramid behind the reels. Pay attention to beautiful animation: hanging trees, twinkling lights, etc.

The main screen looks like it was carved of wood. Symbols are designed as plates decorated with gems. Relaxing music is playing at the back.

Symbols, Wild, Scatter

You will land 8 basic symbols – gems of different shapes and colors, along with card suits, triangles, squares, circles, and even a half-moon. Same symbols may come in a stacked formation. Sometimes they cover the entire screen.

The only special symbol is:

  • Mystery Symbol (golden mask) arrives when the left top corner of the screen is activated during the Symbol Unlocking. Sometimes it also lands during free spins. All mystery symbols turn into the same elements picked by the random number generator.

Aztec Bonanza features no wilds and scatters. See the paytable for all possible payoffs.

Bonus games

Let's discuss the prize options:

  • Tumble Feature – every time you land a combination, you first get a payoff. Then the symbols of the combination disappear. Elements situated above lower on empty positions. The feature goes on while new paying combinations are being formed. New positions are getting unlocked in the process.
  • Symbol Unlocking – Initially, 3 positions in each of 4 corners are locked. After the first 2 rounds of Tumble Feature, those at the top left are getting unlocked. Mystery symbols are activated as well. After 2 more rounds, positions at the right top become available too. Up to 3 lower-paying symbols are substituted with more valuable at this point. When bottom positions are unlocked, all lower-paying elements become more valuable. Giant symbols (2x2) begin to land on the reels.

It's important to understand:

The more active positons on the reels, the more winning ways you get.

Free spins

Now about free spins:

  • 5 Free Spins begin as soon as you manage to unlock all positions on the reels. You will play on the casino's money by the previous bet.

One of the following features is triggered in every free spin:

  1. Mystery Symbols – mystery symbols land on the reels and turn into the same images.
  2. Symbol Transform – up to 3 symbols are substituted by more valuable ones.
  3. Giant Symbols – 2x2 symbols land on the first 2 and last 2 reels.

Free spins cannot be retriggered within one session.
