Aztec Clusters Slot

Head into the South American jungle for another Aztec-themed adventure with the Aztec Clusters online slot from BGaming. The slot’s title tells you everything you need to know about the game, with it being Aztec-themed and heavily focusing on its cluster pays gameplay mechanic. Join me as I take it for a spin and find out what is on offer in this Aztec Clusters slot review. 

If you have ever played an Aztec-themed slot before, you will have a good idea of what to expect from the Aztec Clusters slot. The game sticks closely to the blueprint of the genre, with the reels being positioned in the middle of an Aztec temple next to a waterfall. 

This familiarity is not a bad thing, though, as BGaming offers modern graphics and a funky, cartoon-like design for its symbols. All of this is underscored by the relaxing sounds of the jungle, which slowly heat up when players land winning sequences.

The Cluster Pays set-up and cartoon-like graphics also lend themselves perfectly to mobile play. If you are a mobile player, I would definitely recommend taking this for a spin on your device. 

The base game in the Aztec Clusters slot provides plenty of excitement. Players watch the action unfold on a six-by-eight game grid, with winning clusters formed when you land five or more matching symbols touching one another vertically and/or horizontally.

Whenever you land a win, a cluster mechanic is triggered. The winning symbols disappear from the grid, and new ones fall from above. If this forms a win, the cascade continues, only stopping when there are no new winning clusters. 

The bonuses in Aztec Clusters are all based around the Cluster Pays mechanic and the ensuing cascading wins mechanic. 

The first thing players will notice after a cascading sequence is that the spaces where the initial symbols were will be highlighted. These are now operating as a Multiplier Area. If more winning clusters are formed here, then a multiplier of 2x will be applied. This will continue to increase by 2x every time a cluster forms in it. It will reset at the end of the sequence. 

Before a cascade takes place, there is also the chance that a symbol might be dug up before new symbols land. Two symbols can appear: the Destroyer and the Booster. The Destroyer will destroy all low-paying symbols before the cascade, and the Booster will increase all multipliers currently on the grid. 

Wild symbols in the game are sticky and will remain on the grid throughout the cascading sequence, further boosting your chances of a big win. 

Finally, the game also has a Free Spins round that is triggered when you land three or more Scatters. Three, four, or five Scatters rewards 10, 15, and 20 free spins, respectively. 

If you want to buy your way into the Aztec Clusters Free Spins round, you can do so by using the Buy Bonus option for 100x your stake. 

I had a really positive experience playing the Aztec Clusters slot for real money. After a quick demo spin, I decided to take the game for a spin for $1 per spin and was not disappointed. Within the first 10 spins, I hit a good cascading sequence that saw me land an 8x multiplier and then a 10x multiplier win. 

My good fortune continued when I triggered the Free Spins round after around 25 spins. In the ten free spins, I managed to win 16x my stake overall. Finally, after around 40 spins, I landed a Sticky Wild on the grid and managed to bag another 10x win. Overall, I finished the gameplay considerably up. 

The Aztec Clusters slot has a very attractive math model. The game has a maximum win of 10,000x your stake, which is strong, but its real strength is its impressive RTP, which sits at 97%, comfortably above average. The slot has been rated as highly volatile by BGaming. 

Aztec Clusters is a really fun online slot from BGaming. Fans of the Cluster Pays mechanics are going to fall in love with this one, with the game’s excellent use of cascades, multipliers, and the Cluster Pays mechanic all coming together perfectly. On top of that, the game boasts an excellent RTP that will instantly make it a favorite among online slot players. 

The Aztec genre is one of the most popular around, so if you are a fan of Aztec Clusters, you are going to be spoiled for choice when choosing other games. Aztec Treasure Hunt and Aztec PowerNudge from Pragmatic Play are both really fun slots, while fans looking for twists on the cluster mechanic should test out Piggy Cluster Hunt.
