Aztec Gems is a Pragmatic Play powered video slot that takes you back to the glory days of the Aztec empire. A land of plenty, its culture and history proves an interesting thought experiment to many, as all that remains of it are ruins and leftover historical records. The music track truly gives you the feeling of adventuring in unexplored lands, while you seek to unearth the many valuable gemstones that were hidden away.
This Pragmatic Play release allows for the bravest few to venture deep into the jungle and find the fabled City of Gold. Along the way, players may uncover some helpful bonuses, such as Wilds and win multipliers, that latter of which appears on each and every spin. The maximum possible win is a decent 375x your total bet.
All sorts of colourful valuables await successful explorers. Enrapturing rubies, sultry sapphires, enchanting emeralds, amazing amethysts and charming citrines all make an appearance, encased in a golden shell for no real reason beyond a showing of wealth by the mighty Aztec empire. The symbol variety is not amazing, but we did not expect much. A simple theme does not need complicated icons.
This is a 4-reel, 3-row game with 5 fixed paylines. It has three regular reels and a special one that exclusively displays win multipliers. Beyond that, it uses the same layout as all other Pragmatic Play titles.
The spin button can be found on the bottom right corner, with the Autoplay function beneath it. On either side of the Spin button are the bet value buttons which open a menu when pressed. Here, you can set the number of coins per payline and the individual coin value that ranges between $0.01 up to $0.50. The maximum bet is $25.
Three identical symbols pay left to right following one of the 5 fixed paylines.
This slot does not distinguish between higher and lower paying symbols. Instead, all the gemstones gradually increase in value.
The fourth reel does not house regular icons. Instead, only multipliers can appear there, so every winning combination has a chance to be boosted. You can draw the following multipliers: 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x and 15x. The higher the multiplier, the more difficult it is to hit.
With the smaller playing field, Wilds are even more important. Even one being present in the right position can dramatically alter the spin and transform a loss into a certain win.
Pragmatic Play has fully embraced mobile gaming, so all of their games are available on iOS and Android devices. If you want to lean back in the comfort of your couch or bed, or take Aztec Gems along with you and play it outside of your home, you can do so and still get the same experience as desktop versions.
