Amazing Aztecs 2 Ultim8 Pays Slot Review
A golden feathered snake coils around a misty jungle shrine, rainbow crest raised, its scaled tail curling back around the far side of the stone. Amazing Aztecs 2 Ultim8 Pays is a patient game disguised as a loud one: Just For The Win Studios has parked almost all of the upside in a single symbol that only pays if it’s allowed to grow, and left the reels quiet in the meantime.
The RTP is 96.00%, volatility is high, and the ceiling is a win over 8,000x your bet. Stakes run from 0.20 to 30.00. For more conventional fare from the same studio, Western Gold 2 and Scarab Kingdom are both worth a look.
Base Game & Features
Wins don’t follow lines here. Any eight or more of the same symbol, anywhere on the 6×5 grid, awards a Pay Anywhere win. If several symbols hit at once, the wins are added, and only the highest combination counts per symbol. Bonus, Super Bonus, Multiplier and Thunder Multiplier symbols sit outside this system entirely, so they never form Pay Anywhere wins themselves.

Every spin costs a total bet amount, and the last bet placed is the one the bonus rounds run on if you trigger one. That matters here more than usual, because the Diamond Menu prices everything as a multiple of the current bet, and the bonus bet inherits whatever you were staking when the feature landed.
Rolling Reels™
Every Pay Anywhere win sets off Rolling Reels. The winning symbols vanish, everything above drops into the gaps, and any new win pays again. The chain keeps running until a roll produces nothing. It works in the base game, the Bonus and the Super Bonus, which is what gives the multiplier symbols below their bite.
Multipliers
Multiplier symbols land on any reel carrying one of these values:
- x2
- x3
- x4
- x5
- x7
- x10
- x15
- x25
- x50
- x100
When a Rolling Reels chain finishes, everything it accumulated is multiplied by the sum of every multiplier visible on screen. Two x5 symbols and an x10 sitting together pay as one x20. A full screen of high values during a long chain is where the big results come from.
Thunder Multiplier
The Thunder Multiplier is a single persistent symbol with its own behaviour. In the base game it always lands at x2. In the bonus rounds it can arrive as high as x50. Each time Rolling Reels triggers, its value steps up to the next multiplier in the ladder, topping out at x100.
That ladder is the whole point of the symbol. It doesn’t reset between rolls within a feature, so a Thunder Multiplier that survives several chained wins ends the run worth far more than it started, and in the Super Bonus it’s the only multiplier in play.

Money Symbols
Money symbols can appear anywhere, in the base game and both bonus rounds, each carrying a random value:
- 0.2x the current bet
- 0.5x
- 1.0x
- 1.5x
- 2.0x
- 3.0x
- 6.0x
- 10.0x
- 25.0x
When Money symbols themselves form a Pay Anywhere win, the sum of every money value on the visible screen is paid out. Every Money symbol counts, whichever of them formed the win, so a crowded screen during a bonus round pays considerably more than the triggering combination alone.
Amazing Aztecs 2 Ultim8 Pays Bonus Spins
Bonus
Four Bonus symbols anywhere in the base game award 10 Bonus Spins. Landing three or more Bonus symbols during the round adds five extra spins. The last base game bet carries over as the feature bet, and winnings collect automatically, so there’s nothing to bank mid-round.
The engine of the round is the Global Multiplier. Whenever a Rolling Reels chain ends, the sum of all multipliers on the visible reel area is added to it. Any win after a chain is then multiplied by the Global Multiplier plus whatever multipliers are on screen at the time. A round that keeps rolling builds a number that pays on everything after it.
Super Bonus
Three Bonus symbols plus one Super Bonus symbol in the base game trigger 10 Super Bonus Spins. Retriggers work the same way: three or more Bonus symbols in the round add five spins.
The difference is what’s in the drum. In Super Bonus, the only multiplier symbols available are Thunder Multipliers, which can land at up to x50 and climb the ladder with every Rolling Reels trigger to a maximum of x100. Fewer multiplier symbols, but every one of them grows.

Diamond Menu
The Diamond Menu sells five options, each priced as a multiple of the current bet:
- Bonus Hunt – 1.5x the current bet, triples the chance of triggering the Bonus
- Super Bonus Hunt – 2x, triples the trigger chance, and any Bonus becomes a Super Bonus
- Thunder Multiplier – 5x, guarantees at least one Thunder Multiplier symbol lands
- Bonus – 100x, guarantees the Bonus feature and awards 10 Bonus Spins
- Super Bonus – 300x, guarantees the Super Bonus and awards 10 Super Bonus Spins
Every option runs at the full 96.00% RTP, so nothing on the menu changes the return; it changes the ride. The two Hunt options are cheap boosters, while the 300x Super Bonus is the steepest ticket on the list and buys the round where every multiplier grows. Options can only be used at any time a bet change can take place, and the menu itself, or parts of it, may not be available at every operator.

Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.7/10
Most of your time here is spent watching small Pay Anywhere wins roll over once or twice while the serpent holds its pose. That’s not a complaint, it’s the design: the game wants you hanging on for the round where the multipliers finally stay on screen, and the shrine’s gloss makes the waiting easy.
When that round comes, it’s superb. The Global Multiplier means a chain that lands early keeps paying for the rest of the feature, and the Super Bonus’s all-Thunder reel gives every symbol a route to x100. That’s the strength, and it’s a big one.
The weakness is the ceiling on your stake, not your wins: 30.00 maximum shuts out anyone who bets big, and the base game won’t carry a session on its own. This is a game for players who enjoy a long, quiet build to one loud moment, and who will pay for that moment at the Diamond Menu. Anyone who wants constant action or fixed jackpots will find this jungle too still.
