If the world of slot machines is anything to go by, then the Aztec Empire had all the secrets. In fact, just about every reputable software company offers some sort of slot that claims to unlock the secrets of the Mesoamerican civilization.
Aztec Secret is the latest effort from Amatic Software and, to be honest, players can expect some pretty generic spinning action with 5 reels, 10 paylines and some standard visual effects. However, the game does make good on its promise to reveal some secrets with a special scatter and wild icon that triggers a bonus game of free spins.
From 1428 to 1521, the Aztec Empire ruled over the area we now know as Mexico. It was by no means the largest, richest or longest lasting empire in the world, but we are all fascinated by the Aztecs. Why is that? Perhaps it is because of how little we really know about the civilization, their culture, religion and beliefs.
What we do know, however, is that the Aztec people had a knack for building some magnificent things, from giant pyramid-like structures to ornate golden statues of their gods and deities. You will find all of these things on the reels of this slot machine, along with the famous Aztec leader Montezuma II, who is depicted wearing an elaborate and colorful sacred headdress.
Aesthetically, Aztec Secret is far from the most innovative game in the industry. However, there are still some pleasantly designed icons with plenty of exotic colors. The game also offers some nice and flashy animations when certain symbols combine to form winning sequences. For example, when the chief symbol creates a winner, it is covered with a holy golden mask, adding even more mystery to the character.
As for the game’s audio, the slot features the familiar sounds of traditional Mesoamerican panpipe music to transport players to the faraway lands of the Aztec people.
This Amatic slot machine has 10 paylines fixed on the reels, but players still have plenty of room to play around with different betting options. This is because there are plenty of different bet per line options, ranging from 1 coin to 500 coins. So high rollers could get stuck into this Aztec themed video slot with a maximum total bet of 5000 credits. No matter how much you bet, the line bet multipliers remain the same, multiplying in
There is a special bonus symbol in this slot machine – represented by a decorative image of a face. This bonus symbol has two special features, as it acts as a wild to complete winning lines for all other symbols, and also pays total bet multipliers as a scatter symbol. Therefore, when three, four or five appear, players win 2x, 20x and 250x the total bet.
The bonus fun doesn’t end there, as this slot machine has another secret up its sleeve. When players get three of these scatter symbols, they trigger a round of 5 bonus spins. At the start of each free spin, a symbol from the above paytable is randomly selected to cover any position on the reels from left to right until a winning sequence is formed. In other words, there is every chance that players will find some big winning prizes.
And if players aren’t satisfied with any prize on any spin, they can increase their winnings with a Gamble game. This gamble feature gives players the opportunity to double or quadruple their winnings from the qualifying spin by simply guessing the color or suit of a playing card.
Granted, Aztec Secret is just another Aztec-themed slot machine. And even then, there are games with similar themes and much more extravagant visual effects and bonus features.
Nevertheless, this game from Amatic promises some decent winning opportunities with maximum bets going up to 5,000 credits for a whopping jackpot worth 1,250,000 coins.
