Montezuma Megaways

Montezuma Megaways Slot Overview

There is still a lot that we can learn with regards to the ancient civilizations of Central and South America. This slot from Blueprint Gaming will help you to reveal some the secrets. When you first look at the slot it appears the same as a regular slot but appearances can be deceiving and when you take a closer look you will see that there is a sixth reel and an arched reel situated at the top of the game. The slot is complete with wild symbols, cascading reels and unlimited multipliers plus a massive 117, 649 different ways to line up matching symbols on your screen.

Aztec Theme and Design

In a similar way to other Aztec themed slots the reels in Montezuma Megaways are set against a leafy green forest with symbols that have come from the lost civilization which include gold idols, a high priest, carved snake and a beautiful woman. It is obvious from the outset that the designers have created top quality artwork with every attention to detail being met making this a real head turner, but it is the way the reels are set out that is most impressive. The main 6x4 reel set has a plain surrounding but the arched reel has a decorative and Aztec feel tying in perfectly with the overall theme. The soundtrack has also been chosen to suit the theme perfectly and when the symbols which are created from blocks land, they provide a satisfying thud when they land.

Spin your Reels

Montezuma Megaways can be played on all devices with the minimum bet of just 0.20 per spin. The game requires 20 coins, then if you raise the coin value to 1.00, you have the maximum bet of 20.00. This is a good range however, it may not appeal to the high rollers, and it is a high variance slot but there are high average returns of 96.17%. The Megaways system, is being used under license from Big Time Gaming, and this is an exciting innovation. The number of symbols you can land on each reel varies from three to seven per spin, and this means that you have a different number of ways to line up your symbols on every spin, with 117,649 ways available when you have seven symbols on each of your reels.

This is not all though as this slot takes things even further with the arched reel. This can stretch from your 2nd to your 4th reel and the four symbols that appear on it are treated as an additional row making your odds of winning even greater. There are also the cascading reels which work when you land winning symbols by vanishing to let the symbols above drop into their place. If luck is on your side this can see you landing even more winning combinations and the cascades continue until you land no further wins.

How to win

Landing enough matching symbols anywhere on adjacent reels running left to right will create a win. The usual playing card symbols Jack and Queen pays you 20 coins when they land on all six reels. The high priest has the highest value and will pay you 15 coins when he lands on your first two reels and 250 if he lands on all six reels. The wild is represented by the Aztec pyramid and can replace all other symbols apart from the gold token to create winning combinations. The scatter is represented by the gold token and this will activate the free games when in lands in three or more places with a possible 25 bonus spins on offer and there is also a multiplier that can be applied to a sequence of cascades in any free spin. If you land any two scatters during your bonus screen you win a spin of the multiplier wheel with a massive 100x on offer.

Conclusion

This slot can be played in a demo mode which is always a great way to learn how the game runs and how you can land winnings. However, once you begin playing for real the excitement at the thought of landing multiple wins can be truly rewarding.
