Aztec Treasure Hunt Slot Free Demo

Pragmatic Play loves its historical slots, whether it’s the god-fearing worlds of the ancient Greeks in slots like Gates of Olympus or the many adventures of its biggest hero in titles like John Hunter and the Book of Tut Respin. In Aztec Treasure Hunt, John Hunter takes players into the world of the Aztecs, a theme that caught my attention straight away.

After all, the reason developers like Pragmatic Play churn out so many of these games is that players like me love them!

The slot showcases a 5×3 game grid layered with some of that famous Aztec gold. There’s a towering temple in the background and warriors, weapons, and gods on the reels. The design didn’t blow me away, but it was enough to grab my attention.

There are just 20 paylines in play on this slot, and the symbols require combinations of 3 or more. It’s a high volatility slot, but I didn’t even need to check the information screen to discover that—my first 10 spins on the game didn’t return a single payout, which told me all I needed to know.

A few features are available, including Money Collections and Wilds, as well as the ubiquitous free spins, and these are needed to give this Aztec adventure a lift, as there’s not much else happening in the base game.

The Aztec Treasure Hunt slot doesn’t try to do anything new. I have seen these features and a similar layout on other Pragmatic Play slots. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was just a reskin of one of them. But that doesn’t detract from the experience, as there are some impressive features to unlock and big combinations to land.

In my Aztec Treasure Hunt review, I’ll take a closer look at this casino slot and discuss my personal experiences with the game while also providing an accurate and considered rating. There’s a lot to uncover on this Mesoamerican adventure, so read on to learn more.

Pro Tips

This is a high volatility slot, so if you’re coming here with the intent of placing big bets and blowing your session budget in 10 or 20 spins, prepare to be disappointed.

The nature of the slot means it’s not uncommon to take 5, 10, and even 20 spins without winning anything. The winnings are usually large when they eventually land, but the potential for dry spells means it’s best to wait until you can play a longer session or drop your wager to accommodate more spins.

Also, it’s worth noting that while Aztec Treasure Hunt has a buy bonus option, these features are not available in all jurisdictions, and it costs a whopping 100x your wager. It’s a hefty price to pay, considering there’s no guarantee of getting a return.

If you’re keen to unlock the bonus and see what it’s like, play the demo and buy the feature there. Otherwise, just place your bet, take your spins, and see if you can unlock the bonus round organically.

Aztec Treasure Hunt Slot Bonus Features

Despite the lack of any major base game feature that would really bring this adventure slot to life, there are a couple of features that may appear from time to time.

Wilds

The golden shield symbol is the Wild. Three or more of these are needed for a 5x payout, jumping to 15x for 4 and 50x for 5. It’s a substitution Wild, so it will help to create combinations elsewhere, but it also appears on all reels and is the joint-highest symbol on its own.

Scatter Symbol Money Collection

The Money symbol assumes the role of a traditional Scatter. As with the Wild, it can land on all of the reels, and you need 5 of these symbols to launch the free spins.

That’s not all, either, as the Money symbols also carry multipliers that can trigger without even launching the free spins.

Free Spins

Once you get those Money symbols, you will be given 9 free spins and a shot at some of the slot’s biggest payouts. This is where I won the most money during my time with the slot, so I expect it offers the best chance of getting near the game’s 5,000x maximum win.

When the feature starts, all of the values on the triggering Money symbols are added together and released. What’s more, every time one of these symbols appears on a free spin, its value is held, and if a Wild symbol appears, it unlocks the treasure chest and collects that value.

Aztec Treasure Hunt Slot on Mobile

Pragmatic Play has kept everything in this slot nice and condensed. I was happy to see that all of the game’s options and settings are tucked away in the paytable, accessible via the “i” icon.

The grid isn’t too big, and there aren’t too many icons or features getting in the way, either. I’ll admit to not always having the best time playing mobile games on small screens, which is why I usually opt for a tablet, but Aztec Treasure Hunt didn’t give me any problems and played great on both Android and iOS devices.

Conclusion

With a limited number of paylines and bonuses, as well as prizes capped at 5,000x and a modest RTP of 96.03%, Aztec Treasure Hunt is not quite like stumbling across El Dorado.

It’s a well-put-together slot, though, and it’s one that should appeal to UK fans of similar slots like Gonzo’s Quest.

The Money Collection feature adds some nice multipliers to both the base game and free spins, and the latter feature is well worth waiting for.

Try it for yourself by taking the demo for a spin.
