This week, Synot Games reigns supreme with its Aztec Jaguar title, which defeated the competition to take our SOTW as its prize.

Aztec Jaguar

Aztec Jaguar is a 53-line, 25-payline slot machine that contains a variety of features such as free spins, wild and bonus symbols that assist players in activating the Hold & Win feature. Additionally, the title has a maximum payout of €110,000 on a single spin.

The wild symbol – a man wearing a jaguar head mask – substitutes for all symbols except the bonus and free spins symbols in the slot. During the base game and free spins, the bonus symbols can represent a multiplier of up to x20 the stake or a special win not included in the paytable.

Other low-paying symbols include a dagger, compass, vase, and dragon, while regular letters from A to Q pay between x0.4 and x4.

Additionally, the hold and win feature initiates three initial respins when six or more bonus symbols appear anywhere on the reels. The bonus symbols that triggered the feature remain in place, and any additional bonus symbols that emerge will stay in place and the respin count will be reset to three. Bonus symbols can have a value, a special win, or one of two functions, either growing bonus symbols with a value or extending arrows to fill the entire reel.

Free Spins

Free spins icons can appear on reels 2, 3, and 4, with three of them rewarding the player five spins. During these, the reels are linked and spin in unison, but are still treated separately for the purpose of calculating the win. A complete symbol will always appear on a connected loop.

A player is not permitted to wager any winnings above €55,000 in the gamble function, which is a card-based game in which the player must estimate the color of the following card to win. A correct guess doubles the prize, whereas an inaccurate guess forfeits the prize, and earning a prize terminates this function.
