Aztec Gold: Extra Gold Megaways

Only almost one year after releasing their popular Aztec Gold Megaways online title, the creative iSoftBet developers have decided to present some improvements in this second version inspired by Ancient civilizations!

According to the title, this edition comes equipped with even more gold while sticking to the BTG Megaways engine and high-quality visuals!

Are you opt for returning to the dense jungle where you can come across an immense gold of up to 20000x your bet?

Theme and Symbols

This online title takes you back on a journey deep into the Aztec jungle where riches are hidden, waiting for adventurous souls to find them!

Expectedly, the background features the dense Mesoamerican jungle, showing some stones belonging to an ancient Aztec temple. Simultaneously, the overall atmosphere is enhanced by a soundtrack blending jungle beats with a touch of Asian occultism. 

When it comes to icons, even the simple playing card symbols from 9 to A are created in a theme-related style, followed by a falcon, a snake, a leopard, and Aztec Gods, together with the word Wild representing the special Wild symbol that substitutes for all the regulars mentioned above. 

A tribal Sun Disc acts as the Bonus symbol, while an Aztec temple is the Mystery symbol.

Betting Options and Other Functions

This jungle-themed online release from the software provider iSoft Bet is a 6x7 game with a number of paylines that varies between 64 and 117,649!

Before you indulge in this treasure hunting, you should set the bet, which starts at just 0.2 and goes up to 20, meaning it's not suitable for any type of pocket.

The biggest win you can land in the base game is 20000 times your bet, which is a slight improvement compared to the previous release!

The lowest-paid symbols are the usual but excellently designed, playing card icons paying 0.8x to 2x your bet for a single six of a kind.

The highest-paying is the Aztec Man, where a 6 of a kind win will pay 50x the bet. 

Special Features

Although the devs have recycled all the favorites from the original release, they also incorporated some new additions.

The first feature we should mention is the one that occurs the most – the Cascading Wins. This means that any winning symbols will disappear, leaving room for new symbols to fall in via a cascade and hopefully provide a chain reaction of wins.

You can expect a Mystery symbol to land anywhere across the reels, after which it will unveil a regular symbol, but not Wilds or Disc Scatters!

Now, let's mention two of the game's random features - The Max Megaways and the Sun Discs Boost, the first one guaranteeing a spin with the maximum 117,649 ways to win, while the second adding a random number of disc scatters to the reels for the current spin!

Speaking of the Scatters, you will need these symbols to trigger the game's main event – the Cash Respin feature!

Land at least five of these symbols, and you will get three Respins to start your quest for the Aztec treasures. Of course, all of the triggering Scatters and the number of Megaways (see here) will remain locked until the bonus game comes to an end, while... 

...any new Scatter that lands will turn sticky, too, and reset the Respin counter to three. 

Each of these symbols will show a coin win or one of the three fixed jackpots – Mini, Major, or Mega – rewarding 30x, 100x, or 1000x the stake, respectively!

But wait, there's more!

There is also the Extra Gold option at your disposal, representing the second novelty in the game.

This option gives you a chance to trigger the bonus game by landing four instead of five Scatter symbols while increasing your total bet by 25%!

Now, if you manage to fill an entire reel with Scatter symbols, you will activate a Multiplier that depends on the number of symbol positions on the respective reel. This gives you the possibility to get a multiplier from x2 to x7!

To wrap it up, you will get another newly incorporated feature – the Aztec Bet – that gives you a chance to buy the feature by choosing between the two options!

One of the options available is a 100x bonus buy that guarantees you the Free Spins, while the other is a 150x version, giving you the same thing but at Max Megaways.

Verdict

Aztec Gold: Extra Gold Megaways is an excellent addition to the iSoft Bet slot list, although many would probably think it's an unnecessary release, considering it is almost the same as the original!

Nevertheless, this is a decent online game with a popular theme, beautiful graphics, simple gameplay, an impressive pack of features, and excellent maximum potential of 20000x the stake!

Besides, the devs did make an effort to incorporate two new options that should be enough to make you give it a try!
