Aztec Riches

Aztec Riches by Barbara Bang utilizes a distinctive 3-4-5-5-4-3 reel layout across six reels, providing up to 3600 ways to win through multiway mechanics where matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right form combinations. Cascading reels, referred to as avalanches or the Gonzo mechanic, remove winning symbols and drop new ones, doubling the global multiplier starting at 1x in the base game—up to 1024x maximum—with free spins initiating at 8x. Symbols include low-paying card royals, green and golden totems, Aztec masks, Wild Aztec princesses on reels 3 and 4, and Scatters that trigger 10 free spins retriggerable by additional Scatters. Framed symbols on reels 3 and 4 transform into one or three Wilds when part of wins, enhancing combination potential. Visuals depict ancient Aztec carvings of masks and faces against stone temples and tropical foliage, with medium volatility balancing frequent smaller wins and occasional large payouts up to 5000x. A Buy Feature allows direct access to bonuses, and bets range from 0.1 to 50. This setup stands out for its non-standard grid and escalating multipliers tied to cascades, differentiating it from traditional 5-reel slots.
