Azteca

5-Reel 20-line Slots

The objective of Azteca is to obtain winning symbol combinations by spinning the reels.

To play the game:

• A wagering denomination can be chosen by clicking the Click to Change denomination button in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.
• Line bets are chosen by clicking Bet per Line. Each click adds a coin to the line bet. When the maximum amount is reached, clicking the button again resets the line bet to one coin.
• Paylines are chosen by clicking Lines to add a payline, or by using the numbered buttons on either side of the reels. Selecting a high payline includes all the lower ones too. For example, selecting payline 6 also activates paylines 1 through 5. Clicking Bet Max activates all paylines with the maximum bet per line and spins the reels.
• Total bet per game round = line bet X active paylines.
• Clicking Spin spins the reels with the current selection of lines and line bets.
• Reels can also be spun using the Auto Start function. Clicking + or - above Auto Start selects the successive number of spins to be enabled. Clicking Auto Start spins the reels. The Auto Start button changes into Stop during the Auto Start mode of reelspin. The Auto Start mode ends when the reels have been spun the number of times determined by the player, or when the player clicks Stop.
• Wins are calculated according to the paytable. Line win = line bet X corresponding multiplier according to the paytable. Scatter win = total bet X corresponding multiplier according to the paytable. The paytable can be accessed via the Info page.
• On a given payline, only the highest win combination pays while simultaneous winnings on different paylines are added up together.
• In case of a winning spin, the Win field displays the accumulating winnings. The win ticker can be stopped by clicking on the Win field.
• Once the successive spins in Auto Start have begun, they can be stopped at any time by clicking [Stop]. If [Stop] is clicked in mid-spin, the spin will be completed, but further successive spins will not continue.
• A win activates a Gamble button. When you click it, the Gamble page opens. There you can double the current winning by picking a card with a higher ranking than the dealer's card, opened on the left-hand side of the screen. If you pick a card, which is equal with the dealer's card (a tie), the bet is returned. If your card is lower than the dealer's card, the Gamble feature ends, you lose your winning, and return to the game. You can choose to bet your current winning for double the amount (Double button), or to bet half your current winning for double that amount (Double Half button). With every win, you can bet again. Click Collect to add all the current winnings to your balance and return to the Azteca's reels.
• Gamble is disabled during the Auto Start function, the bonus round, and the free games.

Paylines:

Active paylines are represented by lines that appear over the reels. Paylines can be activated and their shape displayed by progressively clicking Lines.

Please note: Only active paylines can register wins. The Scatter symbol is an exception to this rule. More information about the Scatter symbol can be found, below.

Please note: There is a difference between the line bet and the total bet. The line bet shows how much is being bet on a single payline. The total bet shows all game round bets. Payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the line bet. An exception to this is the Scatter symbol where the payout shown in the paytable is multiplied by the total bet. If winning combinations exist on more than one payline, winnings for each payline are added up.

About Payouts:

Payouts are listed on the Paytable screen. To find the possible win amount, the line bet must be multiplied by the payout.

If two winning combinations occur on the same line, the higher of them is paid out. If more than one active payline has a winning combination, the winnings are added up.

All winning combinations must start from the leftmost reel, and the symbols have to be consecutive. The Scatter symbol is an exception to this rule. More information about the Scatter symbol can be found below.

Wild symbol

The Wild symbol (Pyramid) can stand for any other symbol, except Scatter and Bonus, to make the best possible winning combination.

Please note: There is also a separate payout for 2 or more consecutive Wild symbols on an active payline, as seen in the paytable.

Scatter symbol

The Scatter symbols (Female Explorer) do not have to occur on a particular payline - if there are two or more Scatter symbols in any position on the reels, an additional win is earned. The payout for the Scatter symbols is multiplied by the total bet.

In case of 3 or more Scatter symbols, the player automatically gets 12 free games with multiplier 3 for all wins during the free games.

Note: To start the free games click on Click to Start (the Spin button).

During the free games, the same number of active lines, coin size and bets per line are used as on the spin that won the free games. If 3 or more Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels during a free spin, 12 additional free games are added to the existing ones. The win multiplier does not change. If the Auto Spin functionality is used (using the Auto start button), the free games are automatically spun and the Auto spin session is resumed.

Please note: During the free games, the Gamble option is not active.

Bonus symbol

3 or more bonus symbols (Golden Statues) on an active payline open the bonus game. 4 bonus symbols on an active payline multiply the bonus prize by 5. 5 bonus symbols on an active payline multiply the bonus prize by 27.

In the first bonus stage, the player collects golden statues to win prizes. One of the prizes will win the player an entrance to the second bonus stage, the Temple of the Sun. There the player can select one of two orbs to win an additional multiplier (x5 or x7) of the amount collected in the first bonus stage. For more information about the bonus stages, click Info, and then the right arrow button.

Note: To start the bonus round click on Click to Start.

Slot Machine Variants

Below is a brief explanation on every type of slot machine:

3-Reel Standard Slots – these are the most usual slot machines. You bet a certain amount, then spin the three reels and depending on the outcome of the spin, you either win or lose.

3-Reel Max Bet 2 Slots – these machines allow you to bet the maximum of two coins, not three as in Standard Slots.

Progressive Jackpot – a progressive jackpot means that a certain percentage of every bet goes into the progressive jackpot pool. You win the jackpot by obtaining a very high symbol combination, usually only when playing for maximum bet.

Bonus Game – machines that have a Bonus Game require you to obtain a special symbol combination, or collect certain symbols. When you do, you will enter a bonus round, with special prizes waiting for you. Please note that in some games you have to play for maximum bet to qualify for a bonus round.

3-Line and 5-Line Slot Machines – here you specify your bet per payline, and the paylines on which you bet. A payline is the line along which Your total bet is then line bet x number of lines selected. 3-Line Slots have 3 lines for you to choose between, and 5-Line slots have 5.

Multiline Slots – same as above, only these machines have more than 5 lines, usually 8 or 9.

3-Row and 5-Row Multispin Slots – this is the giant leap for slot machines. In multispin slots, after the first spin you choose which reels you want to hold, then spin the rest of the reels again. 3-row and 5-row mean you have 3 or 5 rows of reels, like in multiline video poker you have multiple hands.
