Money Collection Feature

Golden money symbols appear on all reels, revealing a random cash value between 0.5x and 50x your bet. When at least 1 Wild symbol appears alongside Money symbols, the total value of all present Money symbols is awarded.

In addition, Wild symbols may also carry a random Multiplier between x2 and x50. For each Wild, the multiplier is applied to the total value awarded.

Bonus Buy

Head straight into the Free Spins round for an additional 100x your bet, where 5 or more Money symbols will land.

Free Spins

Landing 5 or more Money symbols in the base game triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 9 Free Spins.

Before the round begins, the value of each triggering Money symbol is added together and collected, serving as the starting value for the Progressive Feature.

During Free Spins, the value of all new money symbols is collected and stored in the progression meter next to the main reel set. Before collection, each Wild symbol that hits will collect the current value, multiply it if applicable, and apply it to your total win.

Landing 5 or more Money symbols awards an additional +3 Free Spins.

Conclusion

At first glance, Aztec Treasure Hunt could be mistaken for a Hold & Win slot, yet it continued to surprise us with its unique features and functions.

In the base game, you don’t need a ton of Money symbols to hit in order to cash in on them. Instead, a minimum of 1 Wild symbol is required to see the Money Collection Feature in action. In addition, Wild symbols may also carry a random Multiplier which is applied to the value of present Money symbols before collection.

With no functioning Scatters, it falls to Money symbols when triggering the Free Spins round, where a minimum of 5 is needed. All triggering Money symbols are tallied and collected into a special Progression feature. New money symbol values are also added to this meter, applying to the total win when activated by the Money Collection feature.

The best outcome in terms of max win is 5,000x your bet, although this figure doesn’t do the game justice. However, this figure has come to be expected from Pragmatic Play, who tend to cling to their safety net more often than not.
