Azteca (Joker123): three calendars, one wheel, 10 to 20 free spins

Azteca on Joker123 is a jungle-temple slot that doesn't overdo it. The animations are there, a golden temple glints, an ancient calendar turns, but they stay in the background and don't slow the spins down.

What's on the Azteca reels

The symbols are what you would expect from the theme: carved masks mixed with card symbols styled as stone engravings. The wild is an explorer figure, an adventurer character who substitutes for the regular symbols to complete wins.

Sound does a lot of the scene-setting. Wins come with drums, pipes and cheerful tones, and when the reels stop you hear dragonflies and jungle noise underneath.

The calendar and the bonus wheel

Three calendar symbols start the free spins. First, a wheel spins, and it decides two things:

• how many free spins you get, anywhere from 10 to 20
• which symbol becomes an extra scatter for the round

During the free spins, scatters are copied at random across the screen, which can turn an ordinary spin into an unexpected payout. It is the part of the game where the larger results tend to come from.

One shot at the feature

There's no retrigger. When the free spins end, they end, and you're back to the base game hunting for three more calendars. That makes the round's outcome depend heavily on what the wheel hands you at the start.

Keep your stake at a level where a long wait for the calendars won't hurt. You can play Azteca on Joker123, or look through the Joker123 review list for similar games.
