Aztec Gold: Extra Gold Megaways Slot Review

The saga of gold and the Aztec civilization continues, but not far from where it stopped the previous time. The Aztec Gold Megaways slot gets a remake and the result is, well, the same. Everything about the game remains - the graphics, the gameplay, the features, the symbols and even the three jackpots - the Mini, Major and Mega.

So what gives iSoftBet the right to call the Aztec Gold: Extra Gold Megaways slot a new online slot in 2020? The answer is: overhauled math model. This means that players will find a game that looks the same but has a different rhythm to it, and that's not such a bad prospect to consider.

Aztec Gold: Extra Gold Megaways Introduction

When it comes to the gameplay details, iSoftBet has taken good care to continue the game's ability to create an exciting momentum with the cascading wins payout system. As the winning outcomes are removed from the reel set and new symbols are added, players can get multiple wins from the same bet.

What is more, Aztec Gold: Extra Gold Megaways comes with the Sun Disc reel modifier and with a mystery symbol that can improve the odds at landing a bigger win. Last but not least, a Hold and Win jackpot game is the way to cash winnings and potentially one of the jackpot prizes.

Aztec Gold: Extra Gold Megaways Design Features

The graphic design doesn't differ from its predecessor's but there are few slight differences that have to do with the choice of colors and improved animated details. This is one of the few games that has made us chuckle at the choice of sound effects and we mean this in a positive way. For example, when you land a winning outcome with the eagle symbol you will hear the animal's screech and when the snakes land a winning outcome, you can hear a hissing sound.

The above is just one example of how well-made is Aztec Gold: Extra Gold Megaways slots. The entire reel adventure is filled with moving parts, exciting visual effects, the radiating glow of gold during the Hold and Win or Cash and Spin if you will, bonus feature, and so on. Those who play Aztec Gold: Extra Gold Megaways should definitely consider having the sound on, as the musical score is nothing short of astounding.

How to Win Aztec Gold: Extra Gold Megaways Slots

Landing winning outcomes requires three or more matching symbols across the six reels, however, the combination of symbols and wilds has to begin on the leftmost reel. The game's wild symbol is represented by the W letter, which can substitute for any of the standard paying symbols, including the most valuable symbol of the Aztec Gold: Extra Gold Megaways slot - the emperor which is worth 50x for six of a kind. The same symbol pays between 2x and 25x for two, three, four and five of a kind.

The remaining high-paying symbols can pay ranging from below the amount of the bet for three of a kind. The payouts range between 0.2x and 5x your bet.

All symbol payouts except that of the emperor's seem low-ish which is expected for Megaways slots, but the sun discs are there to improve the outlook of the final tally, if the player is lucky to land the winning combination that starts the jackpot Hold and Win bonus.
