Aztec Gold Megaways slot review (iSoftbet)

With Aztec Gold Megaways, iSoftbet enters a select league of slot providers allowed to release slots under the Megaways franchise

Until now, iSoftbet has not been able to work their way into the premier league of slot game developers, no matter how hard they worked at it. This Megaways debut could very well be the tipping point for them towards an even brighter future and into the premier league of video slot development.

Aztec Gold Megaways has an adventurous Aztec riches theme going on, where you venture deep into the jungle, looking for gold and big treasures.

Winning serious coin is possible with this beautiful Megaways slot. In the base game, you can already win more than 19,000 x the total bet and also, during the bonus feature, you can earn thousands of times your stake.

Aztec Gold Megaways gameplay and features

Aztec Gold Megaways has stunning graphics: especially the priest and the wild animals are looking insane. These visuals and characters almost seem produced by Disney. The colours, their somewhat threatening posture, their coolness, everything is spot on.

Congratulations and bravo, iSoftbest designers!

All the familiar mechanics of a Megaways slot are present:

• A high variance.
• Changing Megaways per spin, up to a maximum of 117,649 ways to win.
• You can bet from $€ 0.20 up to $€ 20 per spin.
• Avalanche feature: Winning symbols disappear and make way for new symbols.

The theoretical payout rate of 95.99% is fair.

Symbols & payouts

The wild symbol replaces all symbols except the scatters (the golden discs).

The highest paying symbol is the high priest. Spin 6 of the same, and you win a prize of 1,000 coins, which equals 50 x the total bet.

The premium symbols are the wild animals, the jaguar, the snake and the eagle. These symbols yield a prize between 2.5 x and 10 x the total bet, with six identical symbols.

Finally, there are the low symbols: the card symbols 9, 10, J, Q, K and A. These awards you only 0.5 x to 1 x the bet, but do not be fooled by these low payouts: you can still take home serious payouts with these low symbols.

After all, you have stacked symbols, wilds, up to 117.649 Megaways (to win) and avalanche symbols.

Aztec Gold Cash Respins

The Aztec Gold Cash Respins is the main bonus feature of this slot and can best be described as Wolf Gold meets Megaways.

If you manage to spin five or more scattered sun discs, you win the bonus feature.

All discs contain cash prizes and are held on the reels. You may then try to spin as many extra prizes as possible.

You will receive three respins, which will reset as soon as you manage to spin one or more new prizes on the reels. When you run out of respins, the bonus will stop, and your total wins are added to your casino balance.

There are also GRAND prizes in the game, in the form of three non-progressive jackpots.

These jackpots yield the following:

• The Mini (30 x the bet)
• The Major (100 x the bet)
• The Mega (1,000 x the bet)

But that’s only the beginning. On top of that, you can also collect multipliers by spinning a complete reel of scatters.

The higher the reel, the higher the multiplier. For example, can you fill a reel of 5 symbols high? Then you win an x 5 multiplier.

These additional multipliers will be particularly attractive if you have hit the jackpot on a reel. For example, an already hefty prize of 1,000 x the wager can become an even grander mouth-watering prize worth a multiple.

Our verdict on Aztec Gold Megaways?

Aztec Gold Megaways is one of those typical slots you immediately fall in love with.

It looks stunning, has plenty of potential to land super big wins, and has a very original bonus feature.

Aztec Gold Megaways is iSoftbet’s first venture into the Megaways slot realm.

Let’s hope they manage to come up with a lot more of these gems.
