Aztec Fruits Slot by Playtech

Glossy fruit-machine classics fill a carved-stone grid: a blue seven, a golden bell, a purple plum, blue grapes, an orange, a lemon, a red watermelon and red cherries. Behind the reels a stepped pyramid rises from bright emerald jungle, with big tropical leaves crowding the edges. Strip off the Aztec temple dressing and this is a plain classic-fruit slot, honestly. Two things stop it playing like one.

First, the Wild. The gold-and-turquoise sun-god mask lands on any reel and stands in for everything except the Scatter. What makes it worth watching is the cloning: when the mask lands, it copies itself onto all the positions surrounding it, so a lone Wild becomes a small block of them. Wins are worked out after the cloning happens, not before, so one lucky drop can rewrite a whole spin.

The Scatter only shows up on reels 1, 3 and 5. Three of them hand you 10 free games, and there's no cap on retriggers. If you'd rather not wait for the Scatters, the buy feature gives you two prices: pay more for the free games with a guaranteed Wild on the reels every spin, or pay less and take them without that guarantee.

Sitting over all of it is the Joker Flip jackpot, with four levels named Joker, King, Queen and Jack. It fires at random on any spin, including one that pays nothing, and a bigger bet nudges the odds in your favour. Trigger it and you play a pick-a-card round, collecting three matching cards to bank that level.
