Aztec Falls Slot

We already know that this young developing team is issuing games on the portal of Yggdrasil (better known by the collective name Yggdrasil Game Server or YGS Masters programme). This is quite confusing as it transpires that 1 part of the Northern Lights Knockout slots 3-logy was broadcast on YGS and another part on the MG network.

Much the same is now happening with the Aztec Falls game. It spawned from the Niagara Falls (2019) slot, which the Studio had released on the YGS portal.

The new “Falls” title is dedicated to the nomadic tribe that roamed Central America and settled around the 13th century in the territory of Mexico. There, the Aztecs had built a dominant and powerful Empire of 3 alliance states around Lake Texcoco.

Because of their complex buildings and radical social system, intellectual, artistic and spiritual development, it is said that Aztec people have left an important war, farming and cultural heritage to mankind.

Similarly intriguing is the 20 paylines Aztec Falls machine. It is played on a 5×3 playing field and offers to spin with Medium Volatility and sufficient return (RTP of 96.08% by default). The machine comes with pleasant jungle sounds, a great tribe music piece, and not extraordinary but certainly super high-quality symbols and overall visuals.

This Aztec Falls video slot stands out with the exciting gameplay, fascinating and action-packed – with all the player’s favourite features: Multipliers, Stacked Symbols, Re-spins, Symbols Upgrade to Wilds, Stacked Wilds, Jackpots, Instant cash Mini-game, and Gamble feature.

While it doesn’t come with a lavish paytable, nor a high hit frequency (we measured it around 28% during internal testing), the game successfully supports the balance until the Free Spins round. That is mainly due to the Coin Drop‘s profitable, engaging and versatile functionality – only during the base game. In fact, the game’s 2 highest payout prospects take place during the main spins:

• 1000x the total bet in a regular spin (a full screen from Wilds or Logo-symbols – both delivering 10x the bet for 5OAK, plus the max Multiplier x5), and
• 5000x the total bet from the Mega Jackpot.

The Coin Drop feature is not only being the fore but also the star of the game. A gold Coin that lands (exclusively) on reel 5  makes its way down to 5 special sockets on a pin-ball kind of way (we read that it comes from a very popular Japanese arcade game – Pachin-ko that resembles a penny slot).

These sockets are on an Extra row, which turns together with the 3 basic rows on each spin. The Extra row contains most of the aforementioned additional perks.

We were very delighted to see that this is not an ordinary game with an old civilization topic. Northern Lights Gaming showed us that it is indeed possible to find a way for innovation in the glutted gambling market. Perhaps by stirring together old and new, popular and rare, familiar and exotic. Aztec Falls slot brings all that. It is a real trove that can satisfy even the most fastidious players.

We believe this is one of the best online machines currently on the market, super interesting and generous (very popular = frequently in hot mood = constantly loaded prize pool).
– Betting small is available for the low-rollers.
– Average risk is conveniently embedded to interest the largest possible gambling crowd.
– Gambling feature is inserted for the risk-takers.
– Respectable winning potential is implemented to meet the needs of all.
We highly recommend playing for fun or with real deposits. It is quite possible to receive several Jackpots in 1 session with average length or to obtain large prizes (of over 800x total bets) in the base game of the Aztec Falls slot machine.

Bonus Features of Aztec Falls slot

• Wilds – There are 2 types of Wilds. They both substitute standard symbols and pay10x/8x/5x for respectively 5/4/3OAK on a payline.
  The regular Wilds appear only in the base game and are gettable only from the Extra row.
  The FS Wilds appear only during the FS Bonus and are gettable only if Wild is displayed on the Extra row. Then the symbols in the corresponding reel are all transformed to full reel Wild and remain sticky till the end of the Bonus.
• Coin Drop Feature – A gold Coin that lands on reel 5 (exclusively) will initiate this Bonus. The Coin makes its way down to 5 special sockets in a pin-ball kind of way showing which of the current features on the Extra row will be applied. There are available 5 different options:

• Wilds – All symbols on the pin-ball coin trail will be replaced with regular Wild icons.
• Jackpot – Initiates the Aztec Jackpot Wheel and consequently provides a chance for gambling the award.
• Stacked Symbols – First the payout of the regular paylines is calculated (if any) and then an automatic Re-spin is awarded, where Stacked and heavy Stacked symbols can land.
• Multipliers – Factor x2/x3/x4/x5 will be applied to the winning combo(s) (if any) currently in view.
• Blank – No extra reward.

• Cash Fall Mini-game – At random the grid can begin shaking (like an earthquake), the stone base of the Aztec tablet can open and 5 spots (like 5 baskets under each reel) will be catching a random number of coins falling from up and rambling down. The falling coins (also on a pin-ball kind of way) bring the prize (up to x10) of the specific basket. The score of the Mini-game is the sum of all baskets.
• Scatters & Free Spins – The Aztec pyramid is the Scatter in the game. Pyramids don’t yield value and can show up only on reels 1/3/5. Landing 3 Scatters will trigger the Bonus FS, containing 5 un-retrigger-able FS. Here on the Extra row only Blanks and Wilds will appear. If Wild lands under a reel, then a full-stack Wild plummets into the corresponding reel and remains sticky till the end of the Bonus.
• Aztec Jackpot Wheel – It becomes available only when the gold Coin lands in the specific Jackpot socket during the Coin Drop feature. Artistically crafted Wheel comes on the screen offering 4 Jackpots via 7 slices. Spinning the Aztec Wheel guarantees:

• Mini Jackpot – worth 30x the total bet
• Minor Jackpot – worth 200x the total bet
• Super Jackpot – worth 1000x the total bet
• Mega Jackpot – worth 5000x the total bet

After the Jackpot is awarded there is a chance to Gamble the amount. You get to win the amount of the next level Jackpot (when the arrow points at the green segment of the Wheel) or in case of loss (the arrow pointing at the reed), the game grants a consolation prize. So, even the most reckless (who dare to gamble their Jackpot win) don’t end up empty-handed.
