The arrival of the conquistadors in the sixteenth century marked the beginning of the end for the Aztec Empire in central Mexico but their legacy lives on to this day through various media including books, movies, and now this enthralling slot machine game from Spin Play Games in association with Microgaming.
Almighty Aztecs have some interesting special features including Free Spins, Expanding Wilds, and special Bonus Buy options that will perhaps help you in your quest to find some Aztec gold.
The graphics are not the best, they depict a simple Aztec forest scene, but they are colorful and they do help to set the scene. The Aztecs, after all, were known to love rich, vibrant colors.
The reels are adorned with eight symbols that look like relics from Aztec art. Four of these represent lower value wins and the remaining four represent higher value wins. The lower value symbols are the gemstones, the higher value symbols are tablets, snakes, and an Aztec warrior. As you would expect, this game does indeed have a wild, and what better symbol than the sun? The Aztec warrior is the scatter and spinning five of them in will guarantee you a payout of 50x.
Almighty Aztec is not the first Aztec themed slot game to make use of Expanding Wilds but, in case you are not familiar with them, as the name implies, they expand to cover the entire grid and thus guarantee you a win. In this game, they are represented by the Aztec serpent god, Quetzalcoatl.
As with other 243 ways to win slot games, the Free Spins feature is activated by spinning in scatters, the Aztec warrior as you may recall. Depending on just how many scatters you manage to land, you will be awarded either 5, 8, or 12 free spins. The good news is that it is during the Free Spins that you can win the 500x jackpot. Land that and you will feel like you really have found Aztec gold!
The Bonus Buy option gives you the chance to give the base game a miss and get straight into the Free Spins. Just be aware that this is relatively expensive, costing 50x for just five free spins. It is a nice feature but is probably not worth paying that much for, better to just wait until you actually land the Free Spins feature by spinning in enough scatters.
The Almighty Aztec is an easy slot to master and has a few interesting features like Expanding Wilds. The design is colorful and visually appealing and you can play for stakes ranging from 0.10 up to a whopping 500.00 per spin! The return to player percentage is a reasonably generous 96.38% which means there will be plenty of smaller wins along the way along with the ever-present chance of hitting something big. Overall, Almighty Aztec is a basic slot game with some interesting features and a staking level to surely interest most players.
