Aztec Idols Slot

Aztec Idols, or to give it its full title, Rich Wilde and the Aztec Idols, centres on the adventures of a daring explorer on a quest for hidden treasure. Created by Play N Go, it's a 5 reel, 15 payline slot that comes with pick me and free spins bonus features. Join the expedition from between 30p and £1.50 per spin.



The first thing to say about Aztec Idols is that it looks terrific - the graphics and sound are excellent. Look out for a selection of 4 different Aztec face masks on the reels alongside playing card symbols from ace to 10. Rich Wilde himself is the wild, substituting for all other symbols apart from the scatter. Find 5 in a payline and a 5,000x payout awaits.

The imagery is HD style and complemented by some sleek animations. The drum heavy backing track has a primitive feel and features an array of blasts and whistles as well as noises from the jungle. The spinning of the reels is super slick too. Play ‘N Go have put plenty of thought into the look and feel of Aztec Idols and it's certainly paid dividends.

The first symbol to keep a special eye on is the Golden Pyramid - find 3 of these anywhere on reels 3, 4 and 5 and you'll trigger the Pick the Idols feature. It's a classic pick me affair where you select an idol to reveal a cash prize of up to 150 times your total bet. Watch out for the booby trapped idol which brings the feature to a close.

The second scatter symbol is the Sunstone (the wheel shape). Three of these on reels 1, 3 and 5 will unlock the Free Spins feature. A spinning Sunstone will appear on screen, revealing the number of free spins awarded as well as which symbol will act as an extra scatter during the bonus round. Up to 20 free games can be had in this round. Unfortunately, you can't trigger extra free spins or the Pick the Idol feature during the feature.

The variance in Aztec Idols is on the high side so some careful bankroll management is recommended. The bigger wins come from the features but you may be waiting some time to hit them. They can pay dividends when they do arrive though.

If you're a fan of Indiana Jones or even Lara Croft you should find Aztec Idols right up your street - this is one treasure hunt well worth joining. If you like Aztec-themed games, NetEnt’s Gonzo’s Quest is very good as to is WMS’ Montezuma.
