Remember all that scaremongering over the apocalypse in 2012? It was all linked to the Mayan calendar, a civilization similar to the Incan empire. Thankfully for us, RTG didn’t buy into the whole end of the world thing which made way for Spirit of Inca; a five reel slot which comes complete with five boiling point progressive jackpots.
Spirit of Inca Theme
The great Incan City of Machu Picchu can be seen in the background, whilst the reels themselves are edged with a fine golden brick pattern. One thing which immediately stands out are the mini, major, grand, maxi and minor counters at the top of the screen. These give a quick summary of five ‘boiling point’ progressive jackpots which must trigger by certain values (more on this later in the review).
Every icon is themed and intricately designed (some are animated) which makes playing an immersive and educative experience. These include ceramics, bone jewelry, flowers, beads, treasure, scrolls, asp bracelets, jade lions, Machu Picchu, Priestess and Incan Spirit designs.
Betting Options and More Functions
If you’ve played RTG games before then boiling point jackpots may be familiar to you. This slot offers five of them which are displayed at the top of the slot. The interesting thing about these jackpots is that they have a tipping point; a preset value which means they must be won. If it’s getting close to that value then you know one of the networked jackpots is about to drop; players have never been so informed and RTG has promised more of their slots will include Boiling Point jackpots in the future too.
Spirit of Inca Slot Features
There are two major influencers on the reels of Spirit of Inca; the Incan Spirit and the Priestess. She plays as the slots scatter symbol and unlocks wins of 2, 10 or 100 coins when three, four or five icons appear in any position.
Incan Spirit is not only a striking animated symbol but acts as an expanding wild too. This means it can expand to fill the whole reel when it appears on screen to act as a substitute for any regular icon (priestess excluded).
The Incan Spirit icon will also trigger the ‘spirit of Inca’ bonus game when he appears on both the first and fifth reels at the same time. This loads five symbols where your first three picks will reveal up to 25 free spins each. Your fourth pick will reveal a bonus multiplier, ranging from 1x to 10x, which will be applied to each free spin prize. Finally your fifth choice will award either a wild reel, an additional bonus or nothing before your free spins play.
Our Take on Spirit of Inca
Spirit of Inca is a visually appealing slot, thanks in no small part to its animated graphics. The bonus features are very good too because of their generous nature once triggered. When combined with the boiling point progressives we think this is fantastic all-rounder, and a slot which is necessity for 2013.
