Aztec Gems Deluxe Slot by Pragmatic Play

Fill all nine positions with money symbols and one of two things happens - either a random multiplier (2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, or 10x) gets slapped onto every coin value on the grid, or a Wheel of Fortune spins for an extra prize. The wheel carries values from 18x up to 388x plus the four jackpot tiers. That full-screen bonus is rare on a 3x3 layout, but the money values themselves go high enough to make partial fills worthwhile. Individual coins land anywhere from 5x up to 2,250x your bet, and all of them stick for the duration of the respin round.

Four or more money symbols on a single spin kick off the respin sequence. Three respins, reset to three every time a new coin lands. Normal symbols disappear, and the reels switch to a stripped-down set containing only money symbols and blanks. Each money symbol gets assigned a random value before it hits the grid - sometimes it pulls from the standard value pool, sometimes it takes on the Mini or Minor jackpot amount instead. The Grand tops out at roughly 1,000x your bet, and Major sits at about 500x, both scaling proportionally with your wager. All four are fixed rather than progressive.

Gemstones in five colors fill the base game paytable - red triangle, green hexagon, blue star, purple diamond, orange triangle - all oversized and mounted on golden tile backgrounds. The Aztec mask wild pays the highest line value at 250 coins for three of a kind and substitutes for everything except money symbols. Carved golden stonework borders the grid with geometric patterns, jungle mist and stone ruins visible behind it. The compact grid keeps the action tight, and the original Aztec Gems didn't have any of this respin architecture - the Deluxe version added the entire money collection layer and jackpot system on top of what was a bare-bones 3x3 payline game.
