Free slot: Aztec Pyramid Megaways

How Aztec Pyramid Megaways works

Aztec Pyramid Megaways is a slot developed and published by the online game provider Booongo, a provider that should be better known for its interesting and volatile creations. This fairly recent slot was released in May 2021 and is available at many online casinos. As the name suggests, Aztec Pyramid Megaways uses the theme of the Aztec civilisation, a world that is very much used by slot providers. This slot offers a rather unusual format, with 6 reels that can accommodate between 2 and 7 symbols. To win in Aztec Pyramid Megaways you need to connect at least 3 symbols on the first 3 reels. Each time you connect, the symbols involved will disappear and new symbols will appear above them: this is the cascade feature. The Megaways technology is present on Aztec Pyramid Megaways and will considerably increase the number of connections.

Aztec Pyramid Megaways features a wild symbol, represented by a golden snake. The wild symbol substitutes for any symbol and facilitates connections. The wild can only appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. An original feature is present on this slot, it is called Max Megaways. This feature intervenes randomly in the base game or in the bonus game and makes 7 symbols appear on each column. This feature allows you to reach the maximum setup of the slot, and to get 117,649 Megaways on a single game round.

Aztec Pyramid Megaways symbols

There are many symbols available in Aztec Pyramid Megaways that need to be connected to win. They have a different value depending on how rarely they appear and are divided into two categories: classic symbols and premium symbols.

The first ones are the ones that appear the most regularly, but they are the least profitable. They are represented by the strongest values in a pack of cards, namely 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace. The following image shows the payout range for each classic symbol in Aztec Pyramid Megaways (€1 bet).

Premium symbols are harder to connect, but have the highest value. They are represented by Aztec creatures and deities including:

• The fish ;

• The bird;

• The tiger;

• The Aztec god.

The infographic below shows you the value of each premium symbol in the Aztec Pyramid Megaways slot (€1 bet).

The different connections in Aztec Pyramid Megaways

As explained above, in order to win in Aztec Pyramid Megaways you will need to connect between 3 and 6 identical symbols. Unlike most slots, this slot does not contain any predefined paylines. This is because this online game uses Megaways technology which allows players to have a better understanding of the missing symbols and see the full potential of the slot. The connections are adjacent, which means that the mere presence of the same symbol on the first 3 reels is enough to win, regardless of its location within the column. Aztec Pyramid Megaways plays exclusively from left to right, and only the maximum win per line is paid.

The following image shows an example of a valid connection on the left and an invalid connection on the right.

How the Aztec Pyramid Megaways bonus works

Aztec Pyramid Megaways offers its users the possibility to access a bonus feature in which free spins are awarded. There are two ways to get these free spins. You can access the free spins by seeing at least 3 scatter symbols, represented by a golden pyramid, appear on the same spin. You can also purchase this bonus by paying 150 times your original bet.

The number of free spins you get depends on the number of scatters that appear:

• 3 scatters = 10 free spins

• 4 scatters = 15 free spins

• 5 scatters = 20 free spins

• 6 scatters = 25 free spins

The bonus starts with a x1 multiplier that will increase by 1 for each login. This multiplier will affect your winnings and allow you to win huge amounts of money if you are lucky. Unfortunately, it is not possible to get additional free spins during the bonus of Aztec Pyramid Megaways. However, there is no maximum multiplier, the multiplier can be increased unlimitedly.

Our opinion on Aztec Pyramid Megaways

Aztec Pyramid Megaways is a very pleasant slot to play, however it cannot be considered as an original slot. Indeed, the Aztec civilisation is one of the most used universes by the providers, who sometimes lack inspiration in terms of the themes of their creations. Despite this, the graphics are simple and effective and the gaming experience is more than positive on this slot. The strong point of this online game is that it uses the famous Megaways, a technology invented by Big Time Gaming that makes connections easier. The bonus of this slot is already seen elsewhere but has an exceptional potential. Indeed, Aztec Pyramid Megaways has a payout ratio (RTP) of 95.80% and a maximum multiplier of up to 50,000 times your original bet!
