Aztec Fire 2 OverviewAztec Fire 2 is a Hold and Win slot from Booongo, the sequel to the studio’s Aztec Fire. It plays on 5 reels and 4 rows with 20 paylines, and it was released on 15 December 2023 as an exclusive, with the wide launch on 28 December 2023. SlotCatalog, which lists the game under Booongo’s sister brand 3 Oaks, gives an RTP of 95.54% (with alternative RTP versions available to casinos), medium volatility, a maximum win of 10,000x and bets from $0.20 to $35. The numbers below come from our own demo session, played at a bet of 10.00. A Temple in the JungleThe reels stand in front of a jungle waterfall, with palm leaves on both sides and a stone brazier in each lower corner. The symbols are drawn in a warm, painted style: an Aztec priestess in a golden headdress, a warrior, a jaguar, a red-eyed tree frog and a toucan, with the card ranks from 10 to A below them. A burning pyramid marked SCATTER and fiery orange bonus coins complete the set. When the Hold and Win round starts, the jungle gives way to a temple wall at dusk. Six Fixed JackpotsA column of six jackpot plaques runs down the left side, and every one of them is a fixed multiple of the bet. At our 10.00 bet they read MINI 100, MIDI 200, MINOR 400, MAJOR 1,000, GRAND 10,000 and ROYAL 100,000 – that is 10x, 20x, 40x, 100x, 1,000x and 10,000x. The Royal plaque is the published 10,000x maximum, so the top jackpot is the ceiling of the game. Next to it a counter tracks progress towards the Royal: it stood at 7/40 early in one round and at 21/40 later on. Forty is the number of positions on the fully opened grid, so the Royal is the reward for filling every one of them. The Hold and Win RoundThe round is triggered by six bonus coins. The coins lock in place, you get 3 respins, and in the usual Hold and Win way a new coin resets the counter. The coins carry cash values – in our round 5.00, 10.00, 15.00 and 40.00 on the 10.00 bet, that is 0.5x to 4x – and some carry a jackpot label instead, such as the blue MIDI coin we landed. The feature that sets the sequel apart is the stack of locked rows above the grid. Each one opens after a set number of coins and carries its own multiplier: the rows are labelled with the numbers 3, 8, 13 and 18 – the coin counts that open them – and with x2, x3, x5 and x10. The more coins you collect, the taller the grid grows, and a completely filled row pays its coins with that row’s multiplier. What Our Round PaidOur round started with coins of 10.00, 15.00, 15.00 and 5.00 on the first reel, 10.00 and 40.00 on the third and the MIDI coin below them. Near the end the total-win counter stood at 120.00 (12x) while a blue orb showing 200.00 – the value of the MIDI prize – was being collected. Our capture ends there, so we do not know the exact final total. The Base GameThe base game pays on 20 fixed lines from left to right. Our best line win was 42.50 (4.25x) from a stack of tree frogs on the first reels joined by priestesses, and another spin with a block of green Qs across four reels paid 25.00 (2.5x). Smaller results such as a 10.50 win with priestesses and a jaguar were more common. Free Spins and the Bonus MeterSlotCatalog lists free spins, additional free spins and a bonus-symbol collection among the game’s features, and the burning pyramid is the game’s scatter symbol. Coins collected in the base game and in the free spins fill a meter, and when it is full the Hold and Win round starts. We did not trigger the free spins in our session, so we cannot describe the round in detail. The Numbers to Keep in MindA 95.54% return is a little below the market average, and casinos may run a different RTP version. Medium volatility suits the structure: small line wins keep the balance moving, while the jackpot ladder from 10x to 10,000x gives the Hold and Win round its upside. Who Should Play ItAztec Fire 2 suits players who enjoy Hold and Win rounds and like to see every prize in advance. The six plaques always show their current value for your bet, and the growing grid gives each round a clear goal: open the next row and reach its multiplier.
