Description
We’re well aware that Aztec Idols is far from the only Aztec-themed game around. But reviewers have praised this Indiana Jones take-off as one of the better of these kinds of slots. It’s called Rich Wilde and the Aztec Idols to give it its full name and it’s from established software provider Play’n GO.
Embark on a Latin American jungle expedition with this adventurer as your travelling companion, and enjoy a five-reel, 15-payline treasure hunt that’s packed with bonus features as you discover a long-lost empire and its gods.
How to play
Go deep into the Mexican jungle with Aztec Idols as you search for concealed riches. You can look forward to some great 3D animation and background including a golden temple, although the theme is not overdone.
Some cracking sound effects include drums and pipe, jungle rumbles and crickets, along with some upbeat noises to celebrate a win.
This game offers the kind of production quality players have come to expect from Play’n GO, with symbols from Aztec culture including face masks alongside stylised carvings, statues of idols, the golden Aztec temple, and the Mayan sun wheel. There are also playing-card symbols. High-value symbols are 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace.
Coin values on Aztec Idols range from a penny to up to £25, and you can play with between one and five coins. Use the Bet Max button to keep all 15 lines in play. There’s also an Autoplay feature, with which you can choose up to 50 spins, and set the reels to turn automatically.
You can activate and deactivate as many of the paylines as you wish.
Special features
Go wild
The Wild symbol for this slot is Rich Wilde himself, and he substitutes for all others apart from the bonus, free spin or scatter ones. Land two, three or four Rich Wilde symbols to pocket 10, 100, a thousand or five thousand coins respectively.
There are further wins to be had from landing the grey and green masks and the bear mask.
Bonus game
Spot three golden Aztec temple symbols anywhere on the reels to launch this feature. Win up to 150 times your total wager by choosing three of the five golden idols.
Free spins
This is launched when three Mayan sun wheel symbols appear. A sun wheel will spin to give you a certain number of free spins (up to 50). At the same time, it determines the extra scatter symbol that you will win during the free games. (Unfortunately, you can’t re-trigger free spins.)
The scatter
This is the rotating Aztec calendar – land three to get free spins plus an instant prize of five times your original wager.
Finally, the golden temple unlocks the doors to it, allowing you to choose a treasure chest and win a prize.
Pick ‘em game
This can give you up to 150 times your total bet. The game plays a video of Rich going into the Aztec temple. You’ll see five pedestals, each of which has its own golden statue. Click on one of them to see the green gas or coins that will be your prize. Basically, just keep collecting prizes until you hit the gas.
Return to Player (RTP)
This is pretty generous with this game, at 96.65%.
Verdict
With some excellent bonus features and good mobile interface, not to mention its fun theme and strong pay-out rate, Aztec Idols has a lot going for it. Try it for yourself and see what you think!
