How to Play Treasures of Aztec

Getting Started

The game Treasures of Aztec is easy to play, and it is full of ancient artifacts:

1. Set Your Bet: You are allowed to bet ₱1-₱5,000 a spin. Bets can be adjusted using the coin symbol and arrows +/- buttons.

2. Understand the Dynamic Reels: The game has dynamic reel layout that has varying number of symbols in each reel on each spin, which forms 2025 to 32400 winning combinations.

3. Know Your Ways System: Choose between three, four, five or six symbols on the neighboring reels beginning with the left hand to win prizes which are paid as a multiple of your stake. You also win by matching symbols on at least 3 reels, beginning with the most left reel and the amount of winning symbols on each reel is multiplied by the amount of winning symbols on the other reels, then multiplied by the paytable.

4. Spin the Reels: Click the spin button once in order to play a single game with a stake of your choice.

5. Watch for Cascading Wins: Treasures of Aztec has a cascade mechanic (also called avalanche mechanic or tumble feature). When wins are paid, winning symbols are removed and new symbols fall down to fill up the gaps, and may give consecutive wins.

6. Wilds on the Way: The reel 2, 3 and 4 will have special framed symbols which can become Wild symbols when they are a part of the winning combination to lengthen your cascade sequences.

7. Base Game Multiplier: This is the base game progressive win multiplier that gets bigger with each successful win on cascades, only to revert to its start on cessation of cascades.

8. Trigger Free Spins: When the player lands 4 scatter symbols in play, the bonus feature will be activated which will grant 10 free spins with an initial win multiplier of x2. Every other scatter you land on then gives you two more spins on your initial score.

9. Free Spins Enhancement: Depending on your success in responding to the free spins, your multiplier will increase by x2 and this will not go back to the initial value once you fail to achieve another win.

10. Collect Winnings: You cascade win is added to your balance upon completion of cascade sequences.

Gameplay Mechanics

The Treasures of Aztec uses a dynamic 6 reel system, with different rows, which produces a Megaways-like experience.

Core Mechanics:

• 32,400 Ways to Win System: Treasures of Aztec is by all means a megaways game. PG Soft appears to have not paid licence fee to BTG by just not mentioning the trademarked name of the engine. It is technically a Megaways game but it does not have Megaways symbols and thus the number of symbols per reel changes with each spin.

• Variable Symbol Configuration: The 6 reels have varying numbers of symbols (usually 2-5 symbols on reel) which forms between 2,025 and 32,400 winning combinations per spin.

• Winning Combinations: There are three, four, five or six symbols to match on the reels, with all reels being adjacent to each other, and beginning with the left side, to win. The sum of the winning symbols per reel is multiplied, and then the sum is multiplied by the paytable value.

• Cascading Reels (Avalanche): Winning symbols are removed and the rest of the symbols that remain fall. New symbols are used to fill vacant places by dropping down. This goes all the way until they do not create new wins.

• Wilds on the Way: Sometimes your cascades cannot stop, and that is why you will seeWilds on the Way. Specialized framed reel symbols (2, 3 and 4) are converted into Wilds upon involving into winning combinations, and used in future cascades.

• Progressive Base Game Multiplier: It will begin at x1 and increase by 1 with each succeeding success of the cascade. Only when cascades are terminated and spin is initiated its reset to x1.

• Wild Substitution: The Wild symbols replace any pay symbol to assist in making or enhancing hits. The Wild symbol is the Aztec Queen/Princess.

Beginner's Guide:

• Begin with the lowest minimum bet (₱1) in order to know the dynamic reels and cascading games
• The strategies on how to win vary each spin between 2,025 and 32,400- embrace the variability
• Be aware of special framed symbols in reels 2, 3 and 4 which will be turned into Wilds
• Medium variations offer moderate gameplay and frequent wins and some big hits
• The multiplier of base game is increasing with repeated cascades- longer sequences have bigger multipliers
• The bonus round may prove to be very lucrative because the win multiplier is rapidly growing and unlimited
• The gold mask gives rewards of up to 80 times the bet on six of a kind placed in adjacent reels
• In Free Spins, the multiplier is multiplied by the x2 and does not go back to its initial value after a cascade- this is where the maximum wins occur
• It may be a difficult game to set of the bonus on naturally--be patient
• Its RTP of 96.71% makes it slightly above average
• Attention should be paid to the activation of Free Spins in which the constant x2 multiplier multiplied results in exponential wins
• The Megaways type of system implies that each spin is unique--there is no two spins with the same ways of a win

Theme & Graphics

Treasures of Aztec allows the gamer to live in the world of mystery of ancient Aztec civilization with its sacred temples, golden items and classical treasures of Montezuma II.

Visual Setting:

The reels are positioned in front of an Aztec temple which is somehow blurred in order to maintain the focus where it should be. The scenery includes giant wooden temple doors and Aztec carved stone architecture that reminds of the majesty of Teotihuacan the former capital of the Aztec Empire.

The color scheme is earthy and has rich golds, deep reds, jade greens, and royal purples, which portray the real Aztec style. The graphic design reflects the enigma and affluence of this highly developed Mesoamerican civilization that existed between 1300 and 1521 AD.

Cultural Background:

Aztecs were a Mesoamerican people that thrived in the central Mexico, 1300-1521. They were a very progressive civilisation during their time and were the most skillful in engineering, medicine and education. The theme of the game is based on the mythical riches of Montezuma II and those golden artifacts that had vanished following the Spanish conquest.

Symbol Design:

The symbols feature authentic Aztec-inspired imagery:

Premium Symbols (Aztec Artifacts):

• Gold Mask: The highest-paying symbol which will award 8x for a six of a kind win (80x stake per sources)
• Red Mask: Worth 7x for six of a kind
• Pink Mask: Will pay 6x if all six connect from left to right
• Purple Stone: Pays 3x for six across a payline
• Blue Stone: Pays 1.5x for six symbols
• Green Stone: Pays 1.5x for six symbols

Card Symbols (Low Value):

• The returns of Ace and King are 1x, while the Queen, Jack and Ten are 0.4x in case of a winning combination of six

Special Symbols:

• Wild (Aztec Queen/Princess): The Aztec Queen comes with no cash prize attached to her but she will be replacing all other standard symbols in the slot
• Scatter (Pyramid): This is the design of Aztec pyramids, which induces Free Spins

PG Soft has succeeded well in designing entertaining and lively icons in a setting of huge wooden temple doors. Every symbol has elaborate Aztec patterns and details of the real culture.

Visual Effects:

Winning symbols grow and end up consuming themselves with satisfying animations and golden particles when cascades take place. New symbols will fall down with elegant effects. This multiplier indicator becomes more noticeable with every victory.

Reel 2-4 have special framed symbols glowing with unique frames and upon transforming to Wilds, the sequence is enhanced with beautiful animation. In Free Spins, there are better visual effects that highlight the growing x2 multiplier process.

Audio Experience:

It also has a soundtrack that is not obnoxious at first which is relatively unusual in a slot. The music is based on traditional-inspired tunes, with elements of percussion reminiscent of the ancient Mesoamerican culture, and good sound effects of wins, cascades and feature triggers.

Treasures of Aztec Features & Bonus Games

Cascading Reels (Avalanche Feature)

Cascading Reels mechanic produces sequencing winning chances of individual turns.

How Cascading Works:

Winning symbols are removed after wins and there is the cascading of new symbols to occupy the gaps. This is repeated automatically until no other winning combinations are created.

Process:

1. Winning symbols burst and fade away
2. Other symbols falling down occupy blank spaces
3. New symbols fall from above
4. The process is repeated with new wins coming
5. Base game multiplier doubled with every cascade
6. Transformed symbols that are in a frame become Wilds in the following cascade
7. And lasts forever until no new wins emerge

Strategic Benefits:

• Various wins in succession through a single paid spin
• Both of the cascades enhance the base game multiplier
• Wilds on the Way can be provoked with new symbols
• Free Spins gives a chance of an infinite growth of the multiplier
• There is no end to cascade sequences

Wilds on the Way Feature

The Wilds on the Way feature is the unique innovation of Treasures of Aztec to achieve persistent Wild symbols.

How It Works:

During playing, special framed symbols are displayed in reels 2, 3 and 4. When these framed symbols are involved in winning combinations as well as when they are removed in cascades, they become Wild symbols in the following cascades.

Progressive Transformation:

1. Framed Symbols Appear: The reel 2, reel 3 or reel 4 has special frames
2. Winning Combination: Framed symbols participate in wins
3. Cascade Occurs: Winning symbols disappear
4. Wild Transformation: There are Wilds formerly winning framed symbols
5. Enhanced Wins: Wilds replace all other (except Scatter) symbols

Strategic Impact:

The Wilds on the Way feature will occasionally assist in maintaining the cascades going. This generates long winning streaks as modified Wilds will assist to make the further combinations in the ensuing cascades, amplifying the win multipler and the overall payout.

Progressive Multiplier System

Win Multiplier is multiplied when a person wins a cascade and the payout is increased gradually.

Base Game Multiplier:

Initial value at the start of each spin is x 1. The multiplier grows by 1x (x1 -x2-x3-x4, etc.) with every cascade victory. Only at the moment when cascades are stopped and a new base game spin is started, the multiplier is returned to x1.

Free Spins Multiplier:

In case 4 scatter symbols are landed, it gives 10 free spins and the win multiplier starts with x 2. Every successful win reaction in the free spins will add the value of your multiplier by x2 and this will not be set back to its default value when you fail to win again.

Free Spins Multiplier Progression:

• Start: x2 multiplier
• After 1st cascade win: x4 multiplier (x2 + x2)
• After 2nd cascade win: x6 multiplier (x4 + x2)
• After 3rd cascade win: x8 multiplier (x6 + x2)
• Continues increasing by x2 indefinitely throughout all free spins

Key Difference:

• Base Game: Base multiplier is x1 per cascade, and it is set back to new spin
• Free Spins: The multiplier begins at x2, and will increase by x2 with each cascade, and it will never be reset in the whole bonus round

Strategic Impact:

The bonus round is rather lucrative because of the multiplier of unlimited and quickly growing wins. The longer the multiplier in the Free Spins, which is cascading, forms the avenue to the 9,071x maximum win.
