Aztec Idols

If you’ve ever encountered Rich Wilde, one of the most-popular heroes of online slots, you’ll know that wherever Rich goes, fun is sure to follow. We’ve seen this intrepid explorer in Rich Wilde and the Wandering City, Rich Wilde and the Amulet of Dead and in Rich Wilde and the Shield of Athena, among many other riveting titles. Having made his first appearance in Book of Dead, he has shown that he has what it takes to outlast some of the scariest play environments, building up a large group of followers along the way. In Aztec Idols, you’ll join Rich as he explores Mesoamerica, somewhere in the region of modern-day Mexico, in search of the ancient Aztec civilisation. He’s always on the lookout for hidden treasures, but he also seems to enjoy ancient artefacts, too. This splendid slot whisks you into a land of golden temples and ornate carvings, where the jungle conceals exotic creatures and potential treasures. Take a look with Wildz at Wilde’s latest adventure and see if it’s one you are bold enough to join him on.

Design

Rich Wilde and the Aztec Idols is a 5-reel, 3-row, 15-pay line video slot featuring a Pick the Idols bonus and Free Spins. The reels are set in the tangled overgrowth of a Central American jungle, placed within roughly-hewn rock. The symbols represent Aztec mythology, with the lower-paying symbols being carved from tough jungle trees and the higher-paying symbols depicted as glowering masks. Rich Wilde himself appears as the Wild symbol, substituting for all other symbols bar the Bonus, Free Spin and Scatter. The latter is a golden temple complex that shines in the sun of the jungle clearing. Rich seems to have had an upgrade in his appearance, too: his features are more carefully designed than in his earlier games.

Gameplay

The base game play is of the standard place your bet and press spin kind, with the objective of achieving combinations of matching symbols when the reels come to a rest. This occurs fairly often, but the real fun kicks in should you be lucky enough to tap into the bonus features.

Special Features and bonus rounds

Pick the Idols Bonus

When three Pyramid symbols land in reels 3, 4, and 5, the Pick the Idols Bonus is activated. In this bonus, the player chooses from 5 golden items one at a time. Four of the idols reveal coin wins and one idol is empty and will end the bonus when this is selected.

Aztec Idols Free Spins

Three Sunstone symbols appearing anywhere on the reels will trigger Free Spins. Before Free Spins begins, the player is taken to a screen where the two rings in a sunstone will rotate. The outer ring selects a symbol which will serve as an extra Wild symbol during Free Spins. The inner ring contains numbers which equal the number of free spins that the player receives.

During Free Spins, Wild symbols, including the extra Wild selected on the sunstone, will expand to cover the entire reel if doing so will help produce addition bet line wins.

Additional free spins, the sunstone, and the Pick the Idols bonus cannot be triggered during Free Spins.

Gamble Feature

A further opportunity comes with the Gamble Feature. After any win in the main game, the bonus, or Free Spins, the player has the option to try and multiply their winnings up to 20x or 2500 coins (maximum Double Up win). The player can select GAMBLE after any win and be taken to a screen with a hidden playing card. The player can attempt to double their win by selecting the correct colour or quadruple their win by choosing the correct suit.

The player can receive their winnings without using the Gamble feature by selecting COLLECT or beginning the next spin. When Autoplay is enabled, the game will automatically COLLECT after each win. To reenable this feature, disable or set Autoplay to stop after any win.

Volatility

Rich Wilde and the Aztec Idols has a high volatility rating coupled with a relatively high Return-To-Player](/en/guide/rtp/) value of 97%, so you know that there are superb potential wins although it may take time and plenty of win-free rounds to see any rewards. Players should definitely track their bankroll balance to make sure that they are playing according to their pre-determined budget.
