There’s not much to say about this Azteca Gold mobile slot from MGU studios. It’s ok. It’s got some wins. But it’s basically forgettable.
These kind of slot games are always the hardest to review. You know the one: a theme you’ve seen before, mechanics you’ve played before, with still a few decent wins.
There’s nothing wrong, but there’s nothing too exciting about it either.
This Azteca Gold slot is basically a 10 payline Aztec themed game with three bonus symbol; one will make you super rich, one will make you quite rich, and the other will help pass the time.
The big draw? There are multiple stone face masks that do different things. They all look very similar, so thank-god the casino game studio has used words to try and distinguish between them.
The jackpot symbol is clearly what most of us would want to hit, but they are so rare, we didn’t even notice them till we looked at the pay table.
Mostly you’ll catch the free spins, which are fun because you get avalanching wins: so 10 free spins can feel more like 15.
But then when you think you get this as standard in games like the Jungle Jim slot by Microgaming or Gonzo’s Quest title by Netent, you start wondering what the point?
Sure the wheel of fortune has 6o0 times your bet max win, but again, you rarely see those numbers.
This Azteca Gold online slot suffer from the fact that it’s constantly compared to other games it resembles but never manages to quite match up to it.
Still, there are some good wins to be had, and if you love the jungles of South America, this lost temple has a little gold to find. But we suspect it will remain lost for most of us.

Wilds: One of the many mask symbols is the wild - you'll recognise it by the word rather than the design. It can be used to replace all other symbols on this 10 payline slot machine to create a win.
It cannot be used to replace the three bonus scatters.
Jackpot symbol: the mask with the tongue pocking out is the jackpot scatter symbol. I say scatter because you simply need to find five anywhere in view to win 5,000 times your bet. However, anything less than 5 doesn't pay.
Scatters and Free Spins: The stone mask with the skinny face is the free spin slot symbol. 3, 4 or 5 on the screen will trigger either 10, 12 or 20 free spins respectively.
Here you'll have avalanching wins; meaning any wins will disappear and you'll get more symbols cascade down from above, giving you a second chance to catch more winning symbols.
This goes on until no more wins can be found, and you then move on to the next spin in your free spin bonus round.
Wheel of Fortune Bonus: The stone mask with the elaborate headdress and named 'bonus' will trigger a second screen wheel of fortune bonus.
Here you will spin a wheel of fortune and win cash prizes - the maximum you can win is a total of 600 times your bet.
If you trigger using 3 bonus symbols (90% of the time) you'll get 2 spins of the wheel. 4 gives you 4 spins of the wheel, and 5 symbols give you 6 spins of the wheel.
If you are going to create a new casino game with a theme that's been done a million times before, try and stand out from the pack.
This Azteca Gold game on mobile doesn't quite manage to do this, with a messy theme with too many symbols competing for your attention.
Still, you can't deny that there's some good wins to be had if you can get either the jackpot symbols to line up or the wheel of fortune.
But mostly you are spinning a 10 payline phone slot with some free spins to move the monotony along.
Check out Aztec Warrior Princess by Play'n GO or even Jaguar Temple by Thunderkick for something with a little more of an edge to it.
