When I heard that the slot game maker Barcrest was releasing the game King of the Aztecs I just had to give it a try. It has been a long time coming, from a company that brought us the popular Irish leprechaun slot – Rainbow Riches Win Big Shin Dig, as well as several others. However, I can't say I am immediately taken by this 5 reel slot, due to some of the features within it.
My first issue with the game is that there are random wild reels awarded at any time on the center 3 reels. I have no problem with this in principle, as it can lead to some pretty nice wins, but I just don’t like random rewards unless it’s a very big progressive jackpot. I don’t really see the point of rewarding things randomly, as it defeats the object of the game. Others may feel differently to me, but I just like to know when I am winning.
The scatter feature is probably the most rewarding in this game. It is incremental, so if you get 3 of them you will get 2x your stake, 4 with give you 10x and 5 will give you a staggering 200x! Don’t get your hopes up too much, as 5 scatters is very rarely seen. In the short time I have been playing King of the Aztecs, I have only managed to get 4 of them once. The good news is that wilds will substitute for scatters, which can increase your chances of winning big.
As I previously mentioned, I am not overly taken with King of the Aztecs, but it is certainly not a bad game. What it lacks in game interaction it makes up for with some decent rewards. I still prefer other Barcrest slots like the wealthy life of Monty’s Millions or the very playable Ca$hino.
