What Our Reviewer Says …

A solid medium-high variance slot with an Eldorado style theme ideal for gold-hunting with simple game features but big potential

What We Like

  • Vibrant visuals and fun jungle soundtrack
  • 2-part bonus round with 4 jackpots to play for
  • Low minimum bet of just 9p
  • Simple to understand
  • High top prize of over 20,000x

What We Didn't Like

  • Basic gameplay with just one feature round
  • Quite volatile so can be tight a lot of the time

Theme and Design

Aztec Gems Deluxe is a striking production with lush, luminous green vegetation surrounding the reels, which themselves are stacked with bright gemstones and some super-cool god-like wild and money symbols. There are picturesque waterfalls in the background and a lot of Aztec-style frills to the paytable design. The atmosphere is capped by a suitably busy jungle soundtrack with drums, bird calls and relentless thumping dance track that kicks in as you spin the reels. If you're into jungle or Aztec games you'll enjoy this one.

RTP and Variance

There are 3 available RTP settings on Aztec Gems Deluxe – 96.5%, 95.5% or 94.5%. Which you play at will be at the discretion of the slot site you choose. Therefore I recommend checking the RTP setting by clicking the ‘I’ on the game screen (bottom left) to make sure you are getting good value on your bets.

The variance rating is 4/5 according to Pragmatic Play, making this one of their more volatile offerings. So, expect an uneven win distribution but potential for the occasional high value streak.

Maximum Win

The maximum win is a very promising 22,519x which is higher than most Pragmatic Play games. You can find more with high potential in our list of their highest paying slots.

Symbols and Paytable

Aztec Gems Deluxe plays on a simple 3 reel and 3 row grid with just 9 paylines. You’ll need to land 3 identical symbols from left to right on a payline to trigger a win.

There are FIVE gemstone symbols in different colors. The lowest value is the gold at 0.89x up to red, 9.78x. Wilds are the beautiful gold amulet and sub in for gemstones to complete paylines as well as paying out up to 27.78x for 3 on a line.

There is also a blue money symbol that pays out an instant win and triggers the Money Re-spin feature and launches other special features, such as the Multipliers Wheel of Fortune and fixed Jackpots as described below.

Features and Gameplay

This is a not a feature-rich game. Instead, its just about trying to unlock

Money Re-spins Instant Cash Payouts

The BLUE coin is a pure money symbol. It takes on an instant prize value from a ‘pre-defined’ list. If you land 4 of these, you’ll trigger the Money Re-spin feature.

The coins that triggered the feature hold in position and you receive 3 re-spins. This time only coins on blank spaces can land. If you land another coin, that also holds in position and the re-spin meter is reset to 3 and the reels will keep spinning until either no new coins appear or the whole grid is filled with coins.

When the round ends, if there are still blank spaces on the grid then the total value of all coins is added together and that is your payout.

Alternaticley, if you manage to fill the whole grid with coins, you’ll launch one of the special features: Wheel of Fortune or Multiplier.

Wheel of Fortune

Now you get 1 spin of a Wheel of Fortune to give you an extra prize in addition to your wins from the Money Re-spins.

Prizes are multipliers of your stake and can be anything from 18x up to 388x your total bet. There are also FOUR fixed jackpots that can be unlocked in the Wheel. They are Mini, Minor, Major or Grand. These jackpots can reward you with 100x, 250x, 500x or 1000x your bet respectively.

Multiplier                   

An alternative to the Wheel of Fortune is the Multiplier. Here, simply a multiplier of 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x or 10x is applied to the total winnings accrued during your Money Re-Spins feature.

Final Verdict

Aztec Gems Deluxe is a stylish production where the jungle animations and soundtrack are pleasing and the lustrous golden stylings are really easy on the eye. For me, the gameplay was a little too simple, though when it kicks into life in the bonus round things do get more interesting, particularly with that high value to payout to aim for. As with all these games, the mid to high variance means you should be ready for the unpredictable and be prepared to stick with it for 100s of spins if you really want to trigger something memorable.
