Towering Ways Aztec Slot Review

After spinning the reels of Towering Ways Aztec for the first time, we quickly realized Relax Gaming successfully crafted another high-volatility slot with amazing winning potential. The game’s features like expanding reels, morphing symbols, and collapsing towers kept us interested for a long time, despite the familiar theme, and we’re convinced you’ll love it too!

Theme

This slot required a distinct character to get its chance in an already crowded market of online slots with Aztec and Mayan motifs. The design team did the work, just don’t expect any danger of getting a sugar rush from this background. It looks more like a rather cozy part of the jungle with your friendly neighborhood idols idly hanging in the corner, helping with the atmosphere that invites you to play.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Lacking a charismatic Gonzo-like figure to motivate you on your quest for giant payouts, the designers have infused their characters with a certain panache that makes you wonder about all the stories they might hold.

The screen comes to life with the sounds of magical chants, the shifting of stone blocks, and ancient rhythms. So you don’t get too easily lulled and hypnotized by the sound of drums in the jungle deep, there are also more modern additions to the soundscape, upbeat slot machine chimes that bring your mood up and get you excited about the spins.

RTP, Payout and Volatility

The betting options range from a minimum of $0.25 per spin, appealing to casual players and those with smaller bankrolls, to a maximum of $25 per spin, designed for more experienced players aiming to maximize their winnings, although some high rollers might find the range limiting. 

The initial reel layout of 2-3-4-3-2 creates a configuration of 144 ways to win. With towers toppling and reels growing chances of winning combinations rise.  As the reels expand the number of paylines increases dramatically, reaching up to 2,400 ways to win as the reel setup gets to 4-5-6-5-4. 

The high volatility makes the game best suited for players with larger bankrolls. The game’s mechanics are geared towards splashier wins and mega bonuses, and players seeking frequent paybacks might feel disappointed. To them, it might seem their due reward appears once in a blue moon. 

The RTP rate of the game stands at 95.42%, which is below the industry average, but that is typical for a game with high volatility and bigger payouts. The game’s paylines expand through each stage of the round, which more than compensates for the slightly lower RTP.

Playing the Game

For your Towering Ways winning roll to start, matching symbols need to appear on three adjacent reels.

Each win triggers the Win Morphing feature, where winning symbols morph into new ones, potentially creating additional wins on the same spin. This morphing continues until no more winning combinations can be formed, which can lead to successive wins and expanded reels.

Each round will start with a 2-3-4-3-2 reel configuration that expands every win, potentially reaching 4-5-6-5-4, that is if you’re lucky enough to win six times in a row. 

The symbols have different multiplier values, ranging from 40x for the Wild Symbol while the low-paying card suit symbols offer up to 5x multipliers. The number of matching symbols in a round will affect the payout, and getting just three symbols on a spin will get you 3x. Watch out for the jaguars, as they bring 20x multipliers for five cats in a spin. 

The low-paying symbols are more frequent, and keep the game interesting for longer. But if it is too monotonous for your liking, there is an Autoplay option and you can easily adjust the number of programmed spins between five and one hundred.

Features of the Aztec Temple

The Towering Ways Aztec slot has a variety of gameplay features that get the jungle party going. Mega Tower Magic, Win Morphing, and unique free spins provide ample opportunities to win large sums of money in addition to being entertaining. In the sections below, learn how these features work: 

Expanding Reels

Initially featuring a 2-3-4-3-2 reel configuration, the reels can extend to a 4-5-6-5-4 layout if you reach stage six of the round, increasing the number of paylines from 144 ways to win up to 2,400.

Mega Tower Magic

A standout feature where Mega Tower, a totem-like symbol, appears anywhere on the first three reels, sometimes covering them entirely. The Tower then transforms into a single type of symbol, creating opportunities for high-value wins.

Win Morphing

The Win Morphing feature is crucial for obtaining bonuses and making large payouts happen. The winning symbols will morph into other types of symbols, creating chances to string your wins in a single round and unlock the biggest of prizes.

Wild Symbols

Wilds appear on reels two through five and can substitute any symbol except Mega Tower. This will significantly help form or extend your winning combinations, not to mention that the Wild carries the biggest multiplier value. 

Free Spins

Triggered after achieving six consecutive wins, players get to choose between two types of free spins:

• Shaman Free Spins: Starts with a larger setup of reels for more immediate ways to win.
• Warrior Free Spins: Features a progressive multiplier that increases with each consecutive win during the free spins session.

This is where the game comes truly alive, unfortunately, the lower RTP means this doesn’t happen as often as you would like.

Buy Bonus

We left the best for last! You can skip to an expanded reel by simply buying the bonus. Who knew? This allows for six free spins, but more importantly, all bonus spins start with a stage three reel setup. The bigger setup allows for more potential winning combinations and gives you more chance to win.

We could hardly ever get to stage five before switching to this strategy, but the bonus free spins immediately unlocked the action and the 25,000x multiplier seemed within reach. We were reminded of how much fun we had playing some of the best online games with this feature.
