Aztec Gold: Extra Gold Megaways is yet another iSoftBet video slot developed under the licence from Big Time Gaming. Using the Megaways mechanics, the slot is played at 6 reels and offers up to 117,649 ways to win. The theme of the game is obvious from its title, so you can expect to get transferred to the Aztec empire where you will meet Montezuma, the last fully independent ruler. Packed with a total of seven bonus features and with three fixed jackpots up for grabs, Aztec Gold: Extra Gold Megaways pays up to 21,417x the total bet.
The Aztec theme is obvious as soon as you load the iSoftBet title that boasts some eye-catching visuals and a matching ambient music score and sound effects. The reels are set within a temple and filled with high-value symbols in vibrant colours depicted as Montezuma, leopard, snake and eagle and low-paying playing card royals. The slot also features three special icons – Sun Disc Scatter, Wild and Mystery symbols.
To play the game, you have to wager 20 coins. Pick a suitable coin value from $0.01 up to $1, meaning that your total bet can be anywhere between $0.20 and $20 per spin. However, if you want to increase your chances of entering the bonus game, you can use the Extra Gold bet that will raise your stake to 25 coins. The game offers another extra feature called Aztec Bet that enables you to buy the bonus game at a prize of 100x or 150x the total bet. The letter guarantees maximum Megaways throughout the bonus feature. If you wish, you can activate up to 1,000 automatic spins. Landing at least 2 or 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels left to right will earn you a prize.
The iSoftBet title is a typical Megaways game, meaning that each reel can contain up to 7 icons which can lead to up to 117,649 ways to win. Besides, it benefits from cascading reels, with each winning spin being followed by a cascade where successful symbols get removed from the grid and new ones appear as long as you create new winning combos.
The Mystery symbol represented by the Aztec pyramid can appear on any spin to reveal symbols of a kind. Three random modifiers can also trigger on any spin. They include the Montezuma feature that can award a massive payout or trigger the Aztec Gold Cash Respins feature, Max Megaways that grants 117,649 ways to win and Sun Disc Boost that can add 10 or 20 extra Sun Disc Scatters to the reels.
Now, Sun Disc Scatters are the key to the Aztec Gold Cash Respins feature. You need 5 of these to enter the feature where you are granted 3 respins. The triggering symbols are kept in their positions while the rest of the positions spin. Whenever a new Sun Disc Scatter hits the reels, the number of respins is reset to 3. Each Scatter features a multiplier or a Mini, Major or Mega Jackpot symbol. At the end of the feature, you will get paid accordingly.
If you like Megaways slots, you will like Aztec Gold: Extra Gold Megaways by iSoftBet. Although it offers no free spins, its bonus features will keep you entertained and you can end up winning big. Yet, this is a highly volatile game, so it may take time to hit a win or activate one of the bonus features. Its RTP could be a bit higher, though, as it sits at 95.98%, which is a bit lower than the industry average.
