A combination of Mayan and Aztec mythology is the theme behind Northern Lights Studio’s new release Aztec Falls, an exclusive title for Microgaming Casinos.
Aztecs were a powerful civilisation back in the 14th- 16th century, steeped with symbolism and treasures. Take a step back in time for the ultimate gaming experience packed with innovative features and a top prize of 5,000x the bet.
About Aztec Falls
The setup is a familiar one played on 5 reels with 20 paylines. The top prize of 5,000x the bet is average with medium volatility and an RTP of 96.08%. It’s available on desktop and mobile devices with bets ranging between 20p and £40 per spin.
The Aztec and Mayan theme is apparent in the design with bright, bold imagery surrounding a classic style reel setup. Although not ultra-modern, Northern Lights have taken a traditional slot and given it a 21st-century makeover.
On the reels are the low-value royals, while the high values all relate to the theme including coins, pyramids, idols, and masks. The wilds are stone warriors and the scatter is a golden pyramid.
Gameplay
The wild acts as a substitute but if 5 show up on a payline they are worth 10x the bet.
If a coin symbol lands on the 5th reel the Coin Drop feature triggers. A large coin rolls into the centre of the grid, hitting Panchenko-style pins before dropping into the bonus slot. You now get one of the following features:
Wild – Substitute all symbols on the coin trail into wilds
Jackpot – The Jackpot Wheel Bonus triggers
Stacked – 1 respin is awarded with a stacked symbol
Multiplier – payouts are boosted by a 2, 3, 4, or 5x multiplier
Blank – You get nothing
The Jackpot Wheel is the key to unlocking one of the four jackpots the Mini, Minor, Super, or Mega valued at 30x, 200x, 1,000x, or 5,000x respectively. The Jackpot Wheel has red or green segments, if you land on a green segment, you move along to the next jackpot for a bigger prize but if you land on a red segment, you’ll receive a cash prize and the feature ends.
During the base game, the Cash Fall Bonus can trigger randomly, coins then fall from the top of the reels awarding up to 10x prizes.
The free spins trigger after 3 golden pyramids land on the reels on a spin awarding 5 free spins. On each free spin, a wild stacked totem lands, if it covers the entire reel it remains sticky for the duration of the free spins. If you are lucky you could end up with all the reels full of wilds.
Verdict
Northern Lights Studios have produced a decent slot with superb graphics and innovative features throughout. It’s a low-risk game thanks to the medium volatility which is suitable for a wide range of players.
