The new slot game Amazing Aztecs has gone live as scheduled on May 31. It has been developed by the independent games developer Just For The Win exclusively for Microgaming. It is live at the desktop and mobile gaming platforms of online casinos like 32Red, All Slots and Spin Palace.

It was expected that Amazing Aztecs would be different, but no one expected how different it would be. The artwork is like nothing seen before in Aztec themed online slots, of which there are a fair number. Usually such slots have realistic symbols crafted in ornate detail. But Amazing Aztecs have a modernist design in flat pastel colours. The game logo is the highest paying symbol. A combination with five of these awards 10 times the total bet. As in the earlier Just For The Win video slots the payout table multipliers are directly applied to the total bet. The other high paying symbols are four Aztecs. These probably are the king, queen, lad and old lady. The low paying symbols appear to be simplified modern designs of Aztec art. All symbols pay for combinations of three, four and five. There is no wild or scatter symbol. Amazing Aztecs is a 243 ways to win online slot. You set the total bet directly. The bet ranges from $0.10 to $100.00.

There is only one bonus feature in Amazing Aztecs online slot. It has a chance of being triggered after any winning spin. Then one of the symbols in the middle reel is randomly selected. If that symbol is a part of any winning combination then you win one Giant Respin. Otherwise you have to option to activate the next paid spin. In the Giant Respin there are only the selected symbol and blanks on the reel. But the selected symbol can also appear as giant symbols that are 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 blocks. Within each black each cell acts like the individual spin. During the feature, the booming sound of ancient drums builds anticipation as the reels spin. If after the Giant Respin any winning combinations are formed with the selected symbol, you receive payouts according to the payout table along with a cascade of golden coins from the Aztec treasury. Otherwise the respin is lost. The feature cannot be retriggered.

There are some other slots due to be released in the coming period from the Microgaming stable. These include Cash of Kingdoms, Fortunium and Robin of Sherwood.
