The Lost Riches of Amazon

Instead of win lines, you have win combinations, and up to 2048 of them in this slot by Foxium. Jungle theme, collectible wilds, win totems and all around good production values make The Lost Riches of Amazon an interesting try for any punter. Add in free spins and a wheel of fortune and you might end up spinning for more than just a few rounds around the Amazon.

Theme

Cavalcade of animals features on the screen, with panthers, Guinness mascots, butterflies, startled panthers, frogs and sloths forming the basis of low-paying symbols. Lost temples, lost adventurers, map to lead them to safety and a backpack forms the row of higher paying symbols. A comic-style view of unexplored jungle forms in the background, with drum based music and echoes of epiphanies forming the sound world. The theme is well done and pervasive.

Betting Options and Functions

With no paylines to worry about the best is a simple total stake. This can run anywhere between 0.50 and 125 coins per spin. Symbols connect from either left to right or right to left on adjacent reels. Three to five symbols land a win, and these pay anywhere between 0.08 to ten times your bet. Can’t expect massive wins with such multipliers, but the 2048 ways to win makes up for that.

Features

There are two bonus features here, one for the wilds and one for the scatters. Wilds complete winning combinations whenever they appear on the reels and are also collected and held until you have twelve of them. Once the meter is full, they are randomly placed on the reels, though not on the middle one. Be careful as changing bet values nullifies the meter.

Golden Monkey Heads fills the other meter, up to forty high. There are four bonus features, each starting after ten symbols are collected. The first ten monkeys launch a match two game, with any matched prizes awarded to the player. The second feature launches a wheel with two levels. First one of these awards a prize and the second one a multiplier for it. After thirty heads the player is given eight free spins, with the possibility of gaining more spins, and with each spin increasing the chance of landing wilds on the reels. The final bonus game awards the player with five free spins and tall wilds on the outermost reels.

In addition to these, a lucky coin will award a respin with a guaranteed win combination.

Our Take

The Lost Riches of Amazon is a game well done - apart from the low basic wins. The possibility of winning only ten times your stake pales in comparison to most slots and is enough to scare some players away. This is a bit misleading though, as in the end, you can rake up some big wins if the reels favor you: just like in any other slot. Try it and see if the combinations favor you!
