Mist hangs between the trees and teal light falls through the canopy as a warrior princess stands above the grid, blade in hand and a crown of red and green feathers on her head. Aztec Princess is a calm-looking jungle game until the medallions start falling.
Theme and Gameplay
Nearly everything on the reels looks chiselled out of stone. Five painted glyphs cover the cheaper pay levels: a pink jaguar, an ochre eagle, a purple serpent, a blue monkey and a green frog. Above them sit a feathered headdress, a turquoise dagger and a golden sun mask, with the princess herself as the richest portrait. The Scatter is a stepped pyramid glowing under a bright sky, and it stands out nicely against all that carved rock.
Slot Features
Each win clears away and fresh symbols drop in to fill the holes, continuing while new combinations appear, with no limit on the chain. Payment is made once every tumble from the spin has finished. On a total stake of 1, the princess pays 10 for eight or nine, 25 for ten or eleven, and 50 for twelve or more. The frog sits at the other end, paying 0.25, 0.75 and 2 for those same groups.
Medallions in green, blue, magenta and red can land on any reel, in the main game and the bonus alike. When the tumbles stop, their combined value then multiplies the tumble win.
Four or more Scatters anywhere award 15 free spins, and they pay in their own right: 3 for four, 5 for five, and 100 for six or more at that same stake. Three or more inside the round add 5 extra spins. Buying costs 50x your current total bet and guarantees four Scatters on the triggering spin. Once issued, the bonus has to be finished within 3 minutes, or any unused spins are settled automatically.
RTP and Win Potential
Low volatility points to smaller, more frequent returns, which fits the way tumbles chain together. A round stops at 2,000x your total bet. Hitting the limit stops it straight away, hands over the maximum, and forfeits anything still to come.
My Thoughts On This Slot
That medallion rule is the part I find clever, since a banked total only wakes up when another medallion arrives. It gives each bonus spin a little tension without any extra screens to learn. My one criticism is the eight-symbol minimum on such a compact board, and the 2,000x ceiling may feel modest beside those huge 500x values.
