Aztec Bonanza Slot Machine: Features
The setting of the Aztec Bonanza slot machine is in the heart of a wild and untouched jungle near an ancient Aztec temple. The slot's graphics are very detailed with symbols like tribal masks and stone totems, but most importantly a series of animations that destroy, transform, or create symbols on the reels during the game. The slot also features a gaming system with 5 reels and 384 different ways to create winning combinations, and revolves around a tumble feature that makes winning symbols extracted in various plays explode. When creating a winning combination, the player literally sees the symbols that are part of it explode and all remaining symbols on the reels slide down, freeing up reel positions that can then be filled with new game symbols.
Wild Symbol
The only bonus symbol provided by the Aztec Bonanza slot machine is the mystery symbol depicting a large tribal statue. This symbol can only be drawn by freeing the corners of the reels from stone blocks or during the free spins bonus, and once drawn it can transform into any of the game symbols.
Free Spins
The Aztec Bonanza slot machine's free spins bonus can only be activated by freeing the entire game area from the various stone blocks present at the corners of the reels. These hide game symbol positions underneath them and can increase the number of symbols present on the reels in a play. To eliminate the stone frames, it's necessary to draw sequences of 2 winning combinations in successive phases of a single play. When forming a first winning combination, the player sees one of the frames light up, while forming a second one while one of the frames is already lit makes it explode, freeing part of the screen. When all four corners are free, the free spins bonus is activated and the player receives 5 free spins. During the spins, the game area remains totally free and 3 different bonus functions are active. In each spin, the bonus activates one of these functions, with the mystery symbol making mystery symbols appear in random reel positions, the symbol transform converting up to 3 low-level symbols into better symbols, and the giant symbols making large symbols appear that can occupy entire portions of the reels.
