Aztec Gems Deluxe Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Aztec Gems Deluxe is a remake of one of the developer’s older titles, Aztec Gems. This is Pragmatic Play’s second “deluxe” title, but the developer has taken a different approach in the creation of Aztec Gems Deluxe than it did with Great Rhino Deluxe.

While the original Great Rhino and its remake are quite similar in terms of game, Aztec Gems and its deluxe version are very different to one another. With more paylines and a totally brand new bonus, Aztec Gems Deluxe offers players a brand new online gaming experience.

Theme and Graphics

The look of Aztec Gems Deluxe is quite similar to the original version of the game. This is probably because Aztec Gems already looked great, with eye-catching graphics, so there really wasn’t any need to change anything.

The symbols feature various gems, each one set in dazzling Aztec gold with ancient masks as the special symbols. There is a tribal soundtrack playing in the background, along with idle sounds like blowing wind and animal cries.

RTP and Variance

The RTP (return to player) of Aztec Gems is 96.5%. It’s also a high volatility slot – a 4/5 on Pragmatic Play’s own variance scale.

How to Win

With 9 paylines, Aztec Gems Deluxe requires players to land three matching symbols on any of these lines to win. The wild symbol is the most generous symbol in the game, paying out a prize of 27x for just three on the reels.

There are also mixed wins. The red and purple jewels can appear together in a winning combination to provide payouts, which enhances the winning potential overall.

Aztec Gems Deluxe Bonuses

There is no free spins bonus in Aztec Gems Deluxe, but players can trigger a respin bonus when four or more scatters appear on the reels. The round begins with 3 respins and the metre resets every time another symbol lands on the reels. Each symbol has a dollar value, and the total of all symbols is added up at the end of the bonus.

If you manage to fill the entire screen with symbols, then one of two things will happen. You could either land a multiplier of 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x or 10x that will applied to your total win in the bonus, or you’ll trigger the Wheel of Fortune.

In the Wheel of Fortune round, you’ll be able to trigger prizes between 18x and 388x your wager, or one of the four jackpots on offer:

• Mini: 100x
• Minor: 250x
• Major: 500x
• Grand: 1000x

This doesn’t mean that the top prize from the bonus is 1000x, though. Your total bonus prize will consist of your winnings during the bonus, which can be worth up to 22,519x your stake.

Overall Review

Aztec Gems Deluxe is a pretty big departure from the original game, but we’re not sure yet if that’s a good thing. We quite liked the original format of the game, with the multiplier reel but we really like the addition of an actual bonus game.

As a new online slot, Aztec Gems Deluxe isn’t really bringing anything innovative and exciting to the market. Still, it offers a fun online gaming experience – and the top prize worth over 22,000 is nothing to sniff at, either.
