Aztec Moon - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Aztec Moon takes a 5x3 format with 10 adjustable paylines, keeping gameplay pretty standard. It’s a 2015 release from Magic Dreams, a lesser-known developer in the slot world that has some hidden gems worth checking out.

You might see Aztec Moon mentioned online under the World Match developer, and that’s because World Match signed a deal to reinvent some of the Magic Dreams land-based catalogue for the online slot arena.

Below the reels is a sleek user interface at odds with the design of the slot itself but neat and easy to navigate. Lines, total bet, autoplay, fast play and spin run from left to right. Further below this are your balance, game information and sound toggle.

Symbols fit the Aztec theme nicely, including an Aztec Chief, a Queen, snake, emerald ore and a sun. The wild is an Aztec god, which can appear stacked. This substitutes for all symbols bar the free spins and bonus game symbols to help create winning combinations. There’s also a Free Spins symbol and a colourful wheel Bonus Symbol.

You can step back in history and into the jungle for free, with the Aztec Moon demo at Slots Temple. Play anywhere, at any time, without risking your own cash. Let’s take a look at what this intriguing slot has to offer.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

As you might have guessed by the name, this is an Aztec-themed slot. Also fitting the sub-genres of history and mythology, Aztec Moon appeals to your inner historian and adventurer, throwing players straight into the heart of the lush Mexican jungle to walk among this ancient civilisation. The fierce Aztecs were tribes of warriors in Mexico during the 13th century CE, which was the post-classic period between 1300 and 1521. They fought wars with other tribes to gain territory and dominance over Mexico, but they were also known for land cultivation, creating a hieroglyphic script, building temples and pyramids and developing artificial islands and irrigation systems.

The backdrop for this slot is a lush green forest with leaves all around. The reels are encased in stone, with symbols against sand-coloured slabs. The symbols themselves and the reels look more rugged, natural and native, but the quality of the graphics overall is rather underwhelming.

Aztec Moon RTP & Volatility

The RTP is 95.73%, which is pretty decent even though it’s just short of the 96% average we prefer to see in such video slots. The variance isn’t known, but we would anticipate, given the wagers and max win, that it’s likely a lower-volatility offering with lower but more regular payouts. This also helps keep the game entertaining and rewarding for longer.

How to Play Aztec Moon

1. To play, select your betways, playing on either 1, 5, 10, 25 or 50 paylines.
2. Choose your credits, from 1 to 50.
3. Hit spin and hope the Aztecs find you to be in their favour.
4. Autospin is available for 5 to 1,000 automatic spins.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

It appears that the minimum stake is 0.10 and the maximum bet is 30.00, so while the range is ideal for those wanting to minimise the outlay and risk, the top pop may not be enough to appeal to the bigger hitters.

* The maximum win is thought to be x500.
* The Aztec chief symbol is the most valuable, worth up to 1000x the wager for five on a payline. The Queen is worth up to 100x for five-of-a-kind.
* The Free Games symbol awards up to 100x for five.

Aztec Moon Bonus Features

This slot has two main features in the way of free spins and a treasure-hunt-style mystery bonus.

Free Spins - Three or more Free Spins symbols anywhere on your reels will trigger 12 free spins, where wins will be doubled.

Bonus - Three or more Bonus symbols will kick off the bonus feature, where you’ll search for glorious Aztec treasures in the hopes of scooping some prizes.

Overall Review

The theme is created well with vivid aesthetics and themed symbols, so even though the graphics aren't anything special, it's an engaging slot to enjoy. Adjustable paylines and good bet increments give players more control over how they play while keeping it user-friendly and intuitive.

We like that prizes are doubled during the free spins round to boost payouts, and the bonus adds some mystery as you try to uncover hidden treasure. The max win at x500 is reasonable for more casual players, but it may not be attractive to those playing to win big. Likewise, the wagers and likely lower variance suit casual players rather than high-rollers.

Aztec Moon is a pretty straightforward slot that’s entertaining enough for casual gameplay, but it may not pack enough of a punch for the more daring or adventurous players among us.
