Play Aztec Empress for Free

The Aztecs had the reputation to be fierce warriors able to conquer vast territories and to amass riches from all around the continent.

The game screen of Aztec Empress surely reflects such wealth thanks to its golden reel symbols and rich background decorations. The wall that stands behind the reels is decorated with precious stones and abstract shapes, while the reels take up a lot of space in the foreground.

With a somewhat bulky command bar at the bottom, Aztec Empress has a fairly classic yet efficient look. So far, so good, but let’s check out the game play next to see how we can place our first bet on the reels.

Aztec Empress is organised around a few classic rules, coupled with an explicit set of commands to let players get started fast.

The game matrix is made up of 5 spinning reels and 15 pay lines at most. Winning combinations of symbols appearing on these lines will be valid and trigger cash rewards for the lucky players. Simply use the command buttons to pick a coin value, decide on a total bet and activate as many pay lines as you see fit for the next turn before you spin the reels and let luck take the wheel. After each win, you gain access to an optional mini game to double or even quadruple your last pay out. To do so, you have to guess correctly the color or suit of a hidden card, respectively.

All the pay outs of Aztec Empress depend on the combinations that you find across the reels and the amount of money into play as well. Bet more and you should be able to win larger rewards; the bet max button is also there to let you go all-in in just one click of your mouse. And for a faster experience, use the auto play game mode and place the same bet on several spins in a row.

The pay table of Aztec Empress contains both classic reel symbols and plenty of original icons, rarer but naturally more valuable. The rewards listed from now on correspond to a one-coin bet in the game.

The numbers 9 and 10 are the most common symbols of the game, followed closely by the Jack, Queen, King and Ace. Pay outs with these symbols span from 5 to 150 credits.

The dagger and ceremonial axe, golden mask, conquistador and Aztec warriors are the most valuable symbols here. You can expect up to 700 credits with 5 warriors lined up, and the last two symbols also accept short combinations of two icons for a small pay out.

Aztec Empress also features some classic yet generous bonus features that can make every spin even more interesting at once.

Starting with the Empress herself, who plays the role of the wild card in the game. Every time she appears, she can replace all the symbols listed so far and give you an extra chance to win a cash prize. Each combination featuring a wild is also worth twice as much than usual. Wild combinations themselves can amount to an extra prize of up to 4,000 credits.

Finally, the pyramid is a scatter and can therefore trigger a win in any position on the reels (up to 1,500 credits). Besides, 3 or more scatters anywhere on the screen also award a bonus round of 15 free spins with tripled prizes all along (except for the 5-Empress combination, which pays its normal value).

Aztec Empress is a classic yet generous slot game with decent graphics and generous bonus features that give the entire game a whole new dimension every time that they are triggered.

The basic rewards might be slightly lower than other similar games, but the free spins and wild multipliers can make up for that fact quite easily.
