- A new game with a common Aztec theme
- Clear a reel to increase your multiplier
- Win up to 10,000x with 4,096 ways to win
Making a new and innovative slot that really stands out isn’t easy with so many out there, but Pragmatic Play have tried to create something a bit new here by taking a common tumble mechanic and adding a twist to it. It allows you to build up multipliers for an impressive win potential up to 10,000x, but more on the details of this later. To get going, you need to spin the reels. There are 5 of these with 4 rows to give you 4,096 ways to win. Just look out for the base symbols which are ranked in ascending order based on their value as follows:
- 9 or 10
- Jack or Queen
- King or Ace
- Blue Fish
- Green Man
- Red Man
- Yellow Woman

Fortunes of the Aztec Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. There’s one of these also that substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the scatter of course. It only appears on reels 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Tumbles. This game offers tumbles, a mechanic whereby winning symbols are removed from the screen and new ones are allowed to fall in from above to replace them. If this create more wins, the same will happen again and this process repeats, all within the same spin, until there are no more wins.
Win Multiplier. Whenever all symbols disappear from a reel due to a tumble, a win multiplier is applied that starts at 1x and increases by 1x for every instance it happens. This is a global multiplier and applies to all wins. At the end of the spin, it resets back to 1x.
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered when you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols on the same spin, giving you 12, 15, 20 or 25 free spins, respectively. During these, the multiplier that increases when you clear a reel doesn’t reset, and any multiplier from the base game is also carried over. Additionally, you can land 3, 4, 5 or 6 more scatters during the bonus to get 5, 7, 10 or 12 more free spins.
Bonus Buy. You can buy the bonus in some regions for 100x your stake, giving you 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters at random.
Conclusion
Fortunes of the Aztec slot from Pragmatic Play is a new and fairly simple game, but it does offer some big wins thanks to multipliers. In the base game these rarely get too high as they reset between each spin, but this doesn’t happen during the main free spins bonus so it’s much easier to get them higher. Normally games offer increased multiplier per tumble, but here you have to clear a reel which does happen more often than you might think, but I’m not sure it’s any better, just a way of making the game stand out a bit more. Overall, with a solid win potential up to 10,000x your stake and decent gameplay, it’s certainly not a bad game, but we’ve seen better.
