Aztec Wilds Slot Review 2021

Aztec Wilds is another highly engaging slot coming from Iron Dog Studio. The action is taking place in an ancient jungle temple, where several bonuses are hiding. The game features up to 20 free spins and theoretically unlimited multiplier, as well as both sticky and expanding wilds. Aztec Wilds uses a Tumbling Reels mechanics, meaning that you'll get to enjoy very fast-passed gameplay. To learn everything there is to know about this slot's bonus rounds, special symbols, RTP and all other important stuff, read our Aztec Wilds slot review. 

The Aztec Wilds uses a square-shaped 5x4 grid with 1024 ways to win. However, they don't allow you to lower that number manually. All of you who like to wager on the go should know that Aztec Wilds is available on all portable devices regardless of the operating system they use. 

The lowest amount you can bet is £0.50, which is still higher than what we have used to seeing at other similar slots. But the maximum limit is on point with up to £100 per spin. The symbols fall quite fast so you probably won't need a quickspin option to speed things up. But if you don't like to press the 'spin' button all the time, note that there is autoplay included. It's pretty advanced, so apart from up to 999 auto spins, you can also set it to stop when: 

• You score a winning payline
• A single win exceeds a certain amount
• When cash tops a set amount 
• When cash drops under a set amount 
• When you trigger any bonus round 

Aztec Wilds RTP 

With an RTP of 96%, the Aztec Wilds slot is precisely in line with the current industry average, so we can't say it's either good or bad. But you should know that there are 10s of slots which surpass this mark. Some of the best games with high return to player rate are Jokerizer by Yggdrasil and Bloodsuckers by NetEnt. Another thing you should be familiar with before playing is that Aztec Wilds comes with a medium to high variance. It means that his game is likely to give huge wins, but you'll probably have to go through many empty spins before hitting a major cashout. 

Iron Dog did a solid job designing this slot. It's not the best looking game ever, but we believe it's good enough to please most of the casual players. The reels and the background look like a part of an ancient Aztec temple. There are leaves and lianas on the sides, so we assume that the action is taking place in the middle of a jungle. 

The graphics have lots of small details, but the thing is that there are almost no animations. We expect a modern slot game to have at least some moving parts in the background, so this is a bit of disappointment. On the bright side, the gameplay feels very smooth, so spinning the reels of the Aztec Wilds slot is a real pleasure.  

The background audio is also pretty good. It's a simple drum beat with some jungle ambient sounds on top, so you most probably won't even notice it most of the time. There are also a few other cool sound effects included, for example, a noise of stones banging every time you spin the reels. In case you are willing to go deeper into exploring the Aztec-themed slots, we recommend you to try John Hunter and the Aztec Treasure by Pragmatic Play.  

Slot Symbols 

All the high-paying symbols in this game are Aztec totems and golden symbols. They all look pretty similar, which gives this game a nice uniform look, but sometimes you may find it difficult to set them apart. The lower paying symbols are just redesigned A, K, J, Q card signs. You'll find 3 Wild symbols in this game. The regular Wild is a Golden Mask, The Sticky Wild is a Colourful Mask, while the Expanding Wild has a big golden 'W' on it. We will talk more about what they do in the section below. 

Aztec Wilds comes with a single free spins feature and 3 different wild symbols. But before we start with the bonus features, it's important to mention that this slot uses a Tumbling Reels mechanics. Every time there is a winning payline, all of the included symbols will be removed from the reels. After that, new symbols will start falling from above to fill the gaps. The tumbles will continue as long as there are new winning combos. 

These are all the Wilds in the Aztec Wilds slot: 

• Regular Wild - Appears only on the reels 2, 3, 4 or 5 and substitutes for all non-wild symbols. It has a high chance of showing up on tumbles. 
• Sticky Wild - Shows up only on the 3rd reel, but will not disappear when part of a winning combo. 
• Expanding Wild - Appears on the reel 2, 3, 4 or 5 and expands to cover an entire reel with wilds. You can get multiple Expanding Wilds on the same turn.

Free Spins

You can reach the free spins round by having at least 4 consecutive tumbles. The base award is 14 free spins, while for each additional tumble you'll get an extra bonus spins and multipliers. Every tumble in the bonus round increases the multiplier by 1x. Also, note that there are no Expanding Wilds and Sticky Wilds during free spins. 

• 4 consecutive tumbles - 14 free spins and 1x multiplier 
• 5 consecutive tumbles - 16 free spins and 1x multiplier 
• 6 consecutive tumbles - 16 free spins and 3x multiplier 
• 7 consecutive tumbles - 20 free spins and 3x multiplier 
• 8 consecutive tumbles - 20 free spins and 6x multiplier  

Aztec Wilds is a solid slot with a couple of nice bonus features. There is nothing about it that will blow your mind, but we believe it's good enough, in simple words. The main bonus round with up to 20 free spins and a 6x multiplier is a solid offer, plus you get both the Expanding and Sticky Wild symbols during the base game. But all of these are very basic bonuses. If the designers have included some of the more sophisticated bonus rounds, Aztec Wilds would've been much better. This way, it can only serve as a great past time until you find a better game.
