The Amazons are a race of mythical female warriors. Greek mythology places them as having originated from Ares and Harmonis, with their most famous queen being Hippolyta. But in the more popular presentation, the Amazons are associated with the rain forests of South America probably because of the river. Online slots developers seem to have adopted the second alternative. Two of the best Amazon themed slots are reviewed here.

Secrets of the Amazon from Playtech and can be played at online casinos like Mansion Casino and Omni Casino. The female Amazon warrior is the wild symbol with a 2x multiplier property. It also awards line payouts with a combination of five symbols paying a massive 50,000 times the line bet. The other symbols that award line payouts are the creatures from the Amazon jungles and include panther, cheetah, toucan, parakeet, snake, gecko and frog. The exotic moonflower is the scatter symbol. The top scatter payout is again huge at 2,000 times the total bet. Three or more scattered moonflower symbols trigger the free spins bonus feature. You have to pick one of the flowers to be initially awarded between 5 and 20 free spins. Each free spin raises the payout multiplier by 1x and you can win up to 50 free spins on the retrigger. Secrets of the Amazon is an extremely volatile online slot.

Amazon Wild is from Ash Gaming, which is now a Playtech subsidiary. So this video slot is also live at Playtech online casinos. It is a 5x4 slot machine with 100 paylines. The background setting has a touch of Mayan civilization; otherwise it is the Amazon forest again. The symbols on the reels are panther, monkey, lizard, frog, toucan, parrot, humming bird and four exotic flowers of different colours. The golden statue is the wild symbol. If you can land two of them on the same reel they will expand to cover the entire reel, giving you more opportunities to make winning combinations. Amazon Map is a bonus game on the second screen triggered by landing three or more map scatter symbols anywhere on the reels in the base game. A map will be displayed on the second screen and you have to select ruins. Each selection will award a bonus prize. The number of picks allowed is the same as the number of scatter map symbols in the triggering spin.
