Aztec Clusters Slot Review
Have you heard about the 23-year-old Mexican rapper named Dansur, who had gold chains surgically implanted into his head for a super bling hair hairdo? đŞŽ
The Aztecs also liked gold, but I think having a head full of chains and precious stones that smack you in the face might have been a bit prohibitive while playing in the Aztec ball court. And you know, that wouldnât have ended well. đ
But a brighter future might be on the cards if you play Aztec Clusters slot from BGAMING instead. It has a 10,000x multiplier #JustSaying đ°
Gameplay
Like any halfway decent Cluster Pays game, Aztec Clusters slot has a rectangular grid shape that makes it well-suited to mobile play (portrait mode for the win).
The Settings, Sound, Paytable, and Information buttons are close together in the mobile version, but I could still click on them individually without pressing the wrong thing.
The 6-reel grid is positioned between two waterfalls on their side of the screen, and to the left of the reels are the Ante Bet and Buy Bonus.
Aztec Clusters slot boasts a 10,000x max multiplier and an RTP of 97%, and while the $250,000 top payout isnât anything to sneeze at, I feel that it couldâve been a smidge more generous given the very high volatility rate.
The Scatter â which is a mask on an orange disc â can appear anywhere. Wild symbols that drop in a cluster (Iâll explain that concept below for you newbies) will stay in place (a.k.a. become sticky) until the refilling sequence is over.
Features
MULTIPLIER AREA:
Your aim is to form a cluster of 5 or more similar symbols that land adjacent to each other (horizontally or vertically). These symbols will explode and new symbols will fall into their created space.
A glowing outline surrounds the cells of the winning clusters, and if the subsequent win takes place on the same marked positions, a multiplier â starting from 2x â will be added to the cells. The multiplier value will increase by 2x for each additional win on those cells.
The multipliers of the various, highlighted cells are added up and paid out.
DIGGING UP A SYMBOL:
And every necrophiliac went đ¤đ I know, that was in poor taste but I couldnât resist. Okay, letâs get serious for a minute (but just 1 minute).
When the symbols involved in a winning cluster disappear, but the empty cells have yet to be filled with new symbols, thatâs when itâs possible to see a Bonus symbol being dug up in an empty cell.
The Bonus symbol can transform into Wilds, Scatters, Boosters, or Destroyers.
- Boosters upgrade all visible multipliers and then disappear
- Destroyer Symbols destroy all low-paying symbols without payment, and then disappear
FREE SPINS:
Land Scatters to gain entry into the Free Spins round: 3 Scatters = 10 spins; 4 Scatters = 12 spins; 5 Scatters = 15 spins; and 6 Scatters = 20 spins. The Free Spins round can be re-triggered by landing 3 to 6 Scatters.
Triggering Scatters transform into Wilds or cell multipliers with a value of 10x.
ANTE BET:
This is a costly Ante Bet, at 20x your bet. It has an extremely high volatility rating and youâll be paying the inflated amount until you decide to toggle it off.
What do you get for your money? Each spin guarantees at least 1 Wild will be dug up at the start of the spin.
BONUS BUY:
Options; I love em! And here are 4 that youâll see when you opt for the Buy Bonus:
- Option 1: Free Spins for 100x your bet
- Option 2: Free Spins + 1 guaranteed Wild for 200x your bet
- Option 3: Free Spins + 2 guaranteed Wilds for 400x your bet
- Option 4: Free Spins where all Scatters turn Wild for 800x your bet
Performance
I played on my desktop, I played on my phone, and I played on my tablet â Aztec Clusters slot took it all in its stride and asked for more!
Maximum Win
The 10,000x multiplier thatâs available in this game could change your life. Bet $25 (or from $0.25 if you prefer) and you could walk away $250,000 richer.
Conclusion
Aztec Clusters slot has a fun vibe about it but that belies the fact that this is a hardcore game with a very high volatility rate. But your risk is mitigated by the generous 10,000x multiplier thatâs on offer.
The mobile experience is decent enough for playing on the go, and I love having options in a Bonus Buy and youâll get 4 of them with this slot.
But keep an eye on that Ante Bet if youâre using it. Itâs great to have a Wild dug up at the start of each spin, but that doesnât mean youâre guaranteed a return on your investment, and at 20x your bet, you could rack up a significant expenditure if youâre not careful.
I enjoyed the whole Multiplier Area thing, as well as watching Bonus symbols being dug up â that added novelty helped keep my attention riveted to the screen.
All-in-all, Aztec Clusters slot is a solid and entertaining game.
