Reflex Gaming Introduces The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™

Reflex Gaming, recognized as the UK’s largest independently owned omni-channel game supplier, has launched an exciting new slot: The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™. This visually impressive title transports players to an ancient Aztec world, combining suspenseful gameplay with innovative features, including Reflex’s proprietary Treasure Hunt™ mechanic.

Set on a 6x4 grid with 20 paylines, the game draws inspiration from Montezuma’s legendary riches and mysterious ruins. Central to its gameplay is the Treasure Hunt™ mechanic, a pick-based feature that activates when two Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. Once triggered, players embark on a journey through a 30-segment treasure map where they can reveal Free Spins, cash rewards, jackpots, and Sticky Wild bonuses. Unlike typical slot features, the progress made on this map persists between gaming sessions, offering players a sense of ongoing progression and investment.

One standout element of this mechanic is the Sticky Wilds collected during the map phase, which are saved and carried over to the next Free Spins round triggered through the map itself. This layered system builds anticipation and encourages long-term engagement, making each session feel meaningful and connected.

Bonus Features and High Stakes Excitement

Free Spins can also be unlocked by landing three or more bonus symbols directly on the reels. During the Free Spins round, collecting additional Scatter symbols allows players to spin a bonus wheel that can award various prizes, such as multipliers, more Sticky Wilds, or one of four fixed jackpots. With a maximum win potential exceeding 3,800 times the stake (up to €380,000), the game offers plenty of thrilling opportunities.

Adding further excitement is the Montezuma Mystery Prize, which activates when full stacks of Montezuma symbols align alongside the special Cursed Idol symbol. This event elevates the game’s cinematic intensity, transforming the reels with dramatic effects and significantly boosting potential wins.

To appeal to a wide range of players and markets, the game supports a Golden Bet option, which doubles the likelihood of triggering Free Spins, as well as a Bonus Buy feature where permitted by regulation.
