Aztec Treasure

This is a 3 reel, 8 payline progressive online slot game with an Aztec/Ancient Civilization theme. According to some interpretations of ancient Mayan and Aztec texts, 2012 is the end of the world as we know it. Let’s hope not so you can enjoy your winnings from this great slot from BetSoft. Because despite its overall simplicity, there is the possibility of a lot of “BANG for your buck”. And if you hit the progressive jackpot, you can use your winnings to buy a “doomsday bunker”, jet off for carefree abandon, or whatever you desire.

Aztec Treasure Characteristics

The game symbols include a variety of characters and items to support the ancient civilization theme such as Aztec warrior (who plays a role in the bonus game) and Aztec adornments (mask, necklace, feathered headdress), etc...

Audio wise when any of the five paylines are activated, there is Tribal music and animal noises to compliment the theme. The slot has superb graphics and animations. The Aztec Warrior is sure to make you chuckle with his grunting, or perhaps it is a language, as he collects the gems that will deliver you to the bonus game. More about the bonus game later in the review.

There is no scatter Symbol or multiplier symbol in this slot, but there are only 8 symbols, including the “Aztec Treasure” symbol which goes toward the progressive jackpot top reward when you spin 3 of them wagering the maximum bet of 5 coins.

Since there are only 7 winning combinations with coin sizes from .02 up to 1.00 your odds improve with every spin. The maximum bet is $40 which makes it an excellent penny slot, capable of meeting almost all players’ preferences.

Obviously, the more you wager and the more paylines that are activated, the higher the payout.

Aztec Treasure Special Features

As mentioned above, as the Aztec Warrior animation collects the gemstones, and once all 3 are collected, the bonus feature is triggered.

Here is how it works. As the reels spin, watch for a gemstone that appears only on reel 3 inside a gold coin symbol. When the gemstone appears, it is sometimes held, and then on the next spin, the Amazon Warrior will show up and toss a spear at it. When the spear hits it, he rushes out and collects the gem. When 3 gems are collected, the screen changes to the start the bonus game. You will be directed to place the gems into 3 possible holes which hide Aztec treasures. As they are placed, you will be awarded bonus credits, and once all gems are placed, the bonus credits are added to your coin collection as you are returned to the original slot.

There is also a “HOLD” feature that allows you to freeze the desired reel(s) for the next spin. Simply select “HOLD” for individual symbols, or the entire reel line from bottom/top, and the symbols or reel are held for that spin.
