Great Aztec

Solid Aztec Examination

The aesthetic of this game isn't quite as novel as in its Megaways counterpart, with much of the presentation mirroring the previous title. The focus remains on the Mesoamerican jungle and the Hold&Win feature, a staple in many releases.

The base game includes mystery symbols, and the Aztec Magic feature can randomly trigger, providing a larger mystery symbols win or initiating the Hold&Win round. This round features prize boosters, jackpot symbols, and multipliers for full reels and rows—a divergence from the Megaways versions. However, the 2,500x potential falls short of its predecessors.

Activating the Extra Gold ante bet costs 25% more per spin, purportedly increasing the odds of triggering the bonus round due to stacked scatters. Premium symbols yield between 5 and 20 times your stake for five-of-a-kind wins. The Wild symbol substitutes for other symbols to enhance line wins and pays up to 25x your stake for five wilds on a payline.

Mystery Symbols can appear in the base game, transforming into a randomly selected pay symbol. The Aztec Magic feature may activate at random, awarding a significant win with mystery symbols or triggering the bonus round.

The Aztec Gold Respins bonus round is triggered by at least 4 sun disc scatter symbols, initiating a Hold&Win feature with 3 respins. Landing 3 scatters may trigger the 2nd Chance feature, where reels with scatters remain sticky while others respin.

If triggered with a Booster modifier, the triggering symbols receive higher cash prize values. Each new sun disc resets the respins to 3, becoming sticky alongside the initial discs.

Filling a row with sun disc scatter prize symbols applies an x5 multiplier to all prizes on that line. A full reel of sun discs grants an x3 multiplier. The Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega sun disc symbols award 10x, 25x, 50x, or 100x your stake, respectively.

The Aztec Bet Bonus Buy may be available. It allows purchasing the regular bonus round for 60x your stake or the super version for 200x your stake. The super version offers larger sun disc prizes. The feature has an organic hit rate of 1 in 200 spins.

Review Summary

It's unusual to release a Megaways version before the standard one, but that's the approach taken with Great Aztec. The two games share visual similarities, with an Extra Gold Megaways variant also available. It's difficult to find a strong reason to prefer this version over its more potent counterparts, particularly given the lower 2,500x potential.

While features differ slightly, the similarities outweigh the distinctions. The Extra Gold version also has mystery symbols and higher jackpot symbols in the Hold&Win round. The key differences are the prize booster and row multiplier in this game, while the previous installments only offer a reel multiplier.
