Temple Quest Spinfinity Slot
While some say that the best things in life are free, in reality, there’s not much that really is, but when you place bets on the Temple Quest Spinfinity video slot from Big Time Gaming, not only can you wager on 10 lines and get another 30 in play for no extra cost, you are also at a slot machine where, as the name suggests, free spins can play out an infinite number of times. Now, let’s put that into context, as any payouts from the free lines will be somewhat reduced, and while it would be very nice to make a living by sitting back and watching a free spins round play out for the rest of your life, it ain’t gonna happen.
But let’s not grumble over a few realities, as this Aztec themed online casino slot game remains an outstanding addition to the Big Time Gaming range, filled with high-quality images based around the topic and packed with bonus features including high value wild symbols, Mega Icons that can take up much of the game, and those free spins, which can supercharge your winnings at no risk to the bankroll.
Based in Australia, Big Time Gaming perhaps isn’t the best-known online casino games developer, but they have a growing portfolio of quality slot machines, along with some table games and speciality titles. The company is licensed in a number of jurisdictions, including the UK, Alderney, Gibraltar and British Columbia, so all of their games are fair, trustworthy and reliable, with good return to player percentages.
Aztec Adventures
Beautifully presented in mobile optimised and desktop formats, the Temple Quest Spinfinity video slot has 5 reels, each containing 4 symbols in normal play. There’s 40 paylines running from the left side and punters will need to see matching icons on adjacent reels across any of these lines to win a prize. While the stone-effect symbol reel and colourful symbols are certainly eye-catching, what immediately impresses you when the game is loaded, is the stunning background image of ancient Aztec ruins, set deep in the jungle and flanked by animated waterfalls.
Playing card symbols, each decorated with a couple of jewels, include the Q, K and A, while unique picture symbols such as a decorative green shield and a couple of stylish red and blue parrots will create the higher value win-lines. The top awards for a standard symbol come from the Aztec ceremonial mask, and unlike others, which need to be on at least reels 1, 2, and 3 to be worth anything, this creates a small coin win when seen just on the first 2 reels. Players will be claiming 1x their line bet when it’s seen on reels 1 and 2, all the way up to 50x for a full run of 5.
But there’s a special wild symbol that’s worth even more, and of course, helps to complete extra winning combinations by acting as any other standard icon if it’s in the right places to plug a gap in the line, or extend a win across extra reels. This wild is valued at between 5x and 375x the line stake, although it can’t replace the scatter symbol. There’s one other useful image that turns up quite frequently, and that’s a bird’s eye view of an Aztec pyramid, which isn’t actually worth anything, but whenever it appears, it transforms into a Mega Symbol.
Mega Wins from Mega Symbols and Free Spins
As the reels spin, you will notice that giant symbols will turn up, either in part, or in full as a huge 4x4 block. These Mega Icons can be enough to create winning combinations on their own, or they can work with the wild or standard-sized matching symbols to complete some high-value lines. The pyramid will transform into any Mega Icon whenever it’s in place, although like all others, it won’t necessarily be in full view and isn’t always going to result in a winning combo being created.
Launch the free spins bonus games however, and only reel 1 on the left side will have 4 symbols on it, and the other 4 reels will be completely filled by Mega Icons throughout, so anytime you have the same symbol in any place on reel 1 as the giant symbol, you are going to get a 5 of a kind payout.
The free spins are triggered by a mega-sized green and gold Aztec shield symbol, and the number of bonus games awarded, depends on how much of this icon is in view, with at least 3, and a maximum of 9 playing out. As you will know, the spins can be retriggered over and over again if this symbol appears in any of the extra games, but the possibility of ‘Spinfinity’ is stretching things a bit far.
Betting and Freeplay Options
Free Temple Quest Spinfinity video slots are provided by Big Time Gaming at online casinos which feature their range, although you can play for real cash from stakes as low as 0.10 per spin. All 40 lines are active and although it’s claimed that you get an extra 30 in play for free, in effect, what happens is that the wager is spread out across the game and coin awards will be lower.
If you want to raise the stakes, you can play with a high limit of 50.00 per spin and get correspondingly higher rewards. Other bet options include setting the reels off on Autoplay for up to 100 spins, while loss limits and single win limits can also be fixed before they start.
Other Aztec Slots to try out
The Aztec theme is pretty popular, so there’s no shortage of alternative games to try out if you have a fondness for the topic. There’s the Indiana’s Quest slot machine from Evoplay, which has a familiar-looking explorer digging up free games and wild substitutions as the symbols cascade into place, while Realtime Gaming have their famous Aztec Treasure slot, which has among other bonuses, a huge progressive jackpot prize waiting to be won.
Closing Thoughts on Temple Quest Spinfinity
By combining a popular theme, beautiful design and some special bonus features all into a single slot machine, it looks like the Big Time Gaming company are going to have a big hit. The implication that free spins can go on and on might be a little mis-leading, but it’s pretty obvious that there’s going to be a limit and it gives the game a catchy title, so we’ll let them off.
While Mega Icons won’t necessarily lead to winning spins in the base games, during the free spins round, it’s pretty much certain that players are going to land some full paylines, even if the minimum of 3 bonus games is all that are triggered.
It all adds up to a real treasure of a slot game, that thanks to the multiple licensing authorities that have approved it, is available to players from many countries around the world.
