AZTEC TWIST

The Aztec Twist slot is a product by Hacksaw Gaming, inspired by Aztec culture, featuring vibrant colors, tribal masks, and traditional music.

This game transports players to the area south of the Rio Grande, immersing them in the world of the ancient pre-Columbian Aztec people. While the game doesn’t delve deeply into Aztec history, it does take inspiration from the culture’s aesthetic, showcasing a unique stone tower structure as its game grid.

Aztec Twist is highly volatile, meaning it offers the potential for significant wins during free spins, although landing such rewards may be quite difficult. Additionally, the RTP (Return to Player) value is 96.36%, in line with the average for these types of digital games, with a maximum possible prize of 6,800x the bet, which is slightly lower than other Hacksaw Gaming titles.

Players can wager between CAD 0.20 and CAD 100, appealing to various types of players. Upon starting the game, instead of the typical spinning reels, the entire grid performs a twist-like motion, as hinted by the game's name.

The game grid consists of 5 columns and 8 rows, rotating to reveal a new set of symbols. Winning combinations are based on the Cluster Pays system, similar to other Hacksaw titles, such as Cubes slot. The game’s simple matrix design highlights colorful stone symbols of lower value and more rewarding Aztec masks.

As a mobile-first game, Aztec Twist optimizes the entire grid to fit the screen of any mobile device. Accompanied by subtle, tribal music, the game provides an immersive auditory experience.

Wins occur when at least 5 symbols land in adjacent positions, either horizontally or vertically. Instead of a cascade feature, the game uses a symbol lock system, allowing players to grow their wins. Mask icons, the highest-paying symbols, can reward up to 40x the bet for a combination of 21+ symbols. The lower-value symbols can provide up to 15x for combinations of the same size.

The Wild symbol (depicted as a hand) substitutes for all regular icons to form winning clusters. Landing 3 Scatter symbols triggers 8 Free Spins. During these spins, 2 additional reels are added to the top of the grid, bringing golden mask symbols into play. These symbols lock in place and occupy entire rows, with the left reel awarding a multiplier between x1 and x8, while the right reel offers values of x10.

During the base game, filling an entire row with identical symbols makes them sticky, and a random multiplier between x2 and x5 is applied. This triggers Re-Spins, and additional winning clusters can further increase multipliers before being applied to the final payout.

Aztec Twist breaks away from traditional slot game styles with its innovative twists. Though simple in its mechanics, the Bonus Round adds an extra layer of interest with its potential for rewards during Free Spins. Players may find this game particularly engaging on mobile devices due to its mobile-first design.

Like other games by Hacksaw Gaming, Aztec Twist is built with HTML5 technology, ensuring smooth performance on both desktop and mobile platforms. The Aztec Twist demo is available on the SPIKE Slot website, playable without any need for registration or additional software.
