Theme and Design
The Aztec Fire: Hold and Win slot machine is set in a mystical world inspired by ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, specifically the Aztecs. The game’s theme revolves around fire, wealth, and mystery, with vibrant colors and intricate designs that Aztec Fire: Hold and Win free play transport players to an exotic realm. The game’s interface is modern and clean-cut, providing an immersive experience without distractions.
Symbols and Payouts
The slot features a mix of low-paying symbols (9-Ace) in various fonts and styles, accompanied by high-value icons related to the Aztec theme: golden masks, vases, feathers, and pyramids. The wild symbol is represented by a fiery image with an animal’s face.
Wilds
As mentioned earlier, the wild symbol is depicted as a fire-infused creature with two eyes and sharp teeth. It replaces other symbols (except scatters) to create winning combinations and participates in bonus features.
Scatters
The scatter icon takes the form of a fiery sun or temple door. When three or more scatters appear on reels, it triggers one of several games: a mini-game with extra chances, a progressive jackpot round with increased stakes and rewards, or an instant win feature for smaller wins. The exact outcome depends on random generation.
Bonus Features
The Aztec Fire slot boasts two primary bonus features that drive gameplay engagement:
Free Spins Feature
Activating free spins involves landing 6 to 10 scatters anywhere in the playfield (excluding the center). This rewards a number of rounds equal to the sum of the scattered symbols, with no maximum cap. In this feature:
- All winning combinations count for real money
- Payout multipliers are applied as specified in the paytable or based on random calculation at each spin
- Additional scatters retrigger free spins according to their count
Hold and Win Feature
This unique slot mechanic replaces traditional free spins. Upon reaching specific payout thresholds, winning combinations are "frozen" (or held). When all required wins for a given level have been accumulated, players enter the bonus round. Here:
- The game changes into a pick-and-win style mini-game
- Players select from a grid containing multiple multipliers and potential wins
- Each picked item adds to an instant win value that can go up or down depending on subsequent picks
