Gates of Aztec

Gates of Aztec Review

Whenever a developer creates a popular game, copies and similar versions are inevitable. This is common in the industry. Gates of Aztec is very similar to another popular game, except it includes a bonus buy option (not available in the UK).

The game features an ancient Meso-American theme, with an Aztec warrior instead of a Greek god. The main feature is multiplier symbols up to x500 that accumulate during tumble win sequences. These build a global win multiplier in the bonus round, and the 5,000x potential is the same. It comes down to your preferred theme and bonus buy eligibility.

Gates of Aztec Slot Features

Wins occur by landing 8 to 12+ matching symbols anywhere in view, awarding between 2 and 50 x your stake for the latter. Winning symbols are removed via the Tumble mechanic, allowing new symbols to fill the gaps. This repeats as long as you keep winning. There are no wild symbols.

You can land different color Multiplier gemstone symbols on all 6 reels, with random multiplier values between x2 and x500. The values of all present multiplier symbols are added at the end of a tumble sequence, boosting your total tumble win.

The Bonus Round triggers from 3, 4, or 5 scatters, awarding an upfront scatter payout of 3x, 5x, or 100x your stake. You get 15 free spins regardless of the number of triggering scatters. All applied multiplier symbol values are added to the global win multiplier, boosting future wins. Landing 3 scatters in the same free spins tumble sequence awards +5 extra spins.

You can turn on the Ante Bet between base game spins for 25 % more per spin. This doubles your bonus round chances. Eligible players can purchase the bonus round via the Buy Free Spins button, paying 100x your stake to get at least 3 triggering scatters. The RTP does not change if you buy the bonus round, and the feature has an organic hit rate of 1 in 448 spins.

The base game wasn't very exciting, so the bonus round was purchased. The video shows the multiplier that was racked up.

Review Summary

Gates of Aztec is a similar release to another game, with the addition of a bonus buy option. The theme is Meso-American, with an Aztec warrior. The visuals are well done.

The combination of scatter pay tumble wins and accumulating multiplier symbols up to x500 per symbol is still effective. Similar features can be found in other games. Gates of Aztec is still an engaging release. The 5,000x potential remains, and some twists would have made the series more interesting.
