Piedra Del Sol Review

There are many Aztec-themed slots on the gambling market, and this is understandable: many are attracted by the undiscovered secrets of this ancient civilization and relics that may still not be found by the current generation. Well, we want to say that in the pursuit of treasures and relics, it is important to prepare accordingly so as not to be trapped, as happened with the heroes of the movie "The Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon", who realized that curses were placed on the treasures they found.

Platipus assures that the slot does not hide any curses, however, it will not hurt to properly prepare the bankroll and the strategy anyway. You will go on an expedition to the mystical Teotihuacán, the city of the gods, from which now only ruins and memories remain. The expedition is led by the fearless archaeologist Olivia, who acts as a Wild in this slot. It is worth paying tribute to the visual design of the game - the background of the burning Aztec city, as well as the symbols in the corresponding theme, actually please with their animation. Besides, the developer did a good job of creating a soundtrack that immerses you in the atmosphere of the ever-living spirits of the Aztecs.

The lower part of the screen is occupied by the working panel, where you can turn off the sound, turn on the turbo mode, and set the autoplay option with the optimal number of autospins (from 25 to 100), win and loss limits. The betting range starts from £0.50 and goes up to £50 per spin.

On the left side of the screen, you will see a hamburger menu icon that contains the paytable, game rules and your game history to make it easier for you to calculate the optimal strategy. The good news is that the game has no RTP ranges, however, the Return to Player of 95% is below the industry standard. We assure you that the game will unlikely leave you without treasures, and the ancient Aztec city can give you one of the Jackpots almost at any moment, yet the potential of 2,289x is not exactly impressive, given the game is developed on a high volatility math model.

Piedra Del Sol Slot Features

The symbols in the Piedra Del Sol slot can be divided into three categories, from the least valuable to the premium symbols. As it happens in most slots, the niche of low-value symbols is represented by the A-9 royals, which are engraved with Aztec runes. They are worth between 1x and 1.5x for 5 of a kind per line.

The middle category includes three indispensable attributes of an archaeologist - a map with a compass, a backpack and a diary with ancient records. These symbols pay 3x for 5 of a kind on a payline. As for premium symbols, those include two Aztec relics worth 6x for a combination of 5 of these symbols. As you can see, all symbols pay very little, which is disappointing, so you can only hope to trigger the bonus feature as soon as possible.

The Wild is represented by the main character Olivia, who will help you form the most profitable winning combinations, but the symbol has no value of its own. Wilds step in for absolutely all symbols (except for the god sun tokens) and appear on reels 3-5 in the base game and 2-5 during the free spins bonus round.

Bonus symbols include sun god tokens, which are the key to triggering the Bonus Wheel. They can land anywhere on the grid, even during free spins. Either way, you'll need at least 5 of these symbols to trigger the coveted Bonus Wheel Feature.

As soon as you get to the screen with the Bonus Wheel, you will see that it is divided into two segments. The outer segment consists of multipliers and free spins, as well as special arrows.

If you get this arrow while spinning the Wheel, you will immediately go to the inner segment, which includes four types of Jackpots. It's worth noting that the values of promising multipliers and quantity of free spins depend on the number of bonus symbols that activated the Bonus Wheel:

• 5 Bonus symbols - guarantee multipliers from x3 to x100 or 8 free spins
• 6 Bonus symbols - guarantee multipliers from x6 to x200 or 12 free spins
• 7 Bonus symbols - guarantee multipliers from x9 to x300 or 18 free spins
• 8 Bonus symbols - guarantee multipliers from x15 to x500 or 20 free spins

If you land the arrow, you will proceed to the next spin where you will hunt for treasure in the form of one of the four Jackpots. Their sizes change depending on the bet level you choose. If you play with a max bet of £50, then the Jackpot values will be as follows:

• Grand Jackpot - 100,000 bets per line (about 2,000х your stake)
• Major Jackpot - 10,000 bets per line (about 200х your stake)
• Minor Jackpot - 5,000 bets per line (about 100х your stake)
• Mini Jackpot - 1,000 bets per line (about 20х your stake)

The provider made a very pertinent remark about the gameplay: why would the main character do all the work herself when you can delegate the most unpleasant thing to your archaeologist assistants. This means that you don't have to wait for 5+ tokens to appear in the base game - you can jump straight into the Bonus Wheel if you decide to use the Bonus Buy Feature (not available for UK citizens). The price is determined by the number of tokens which you want to activate the Bonus Wheel Feature with:

• Pay 32x your stake to trigger the Bonus Wheel with 5 Bonus symbols.
• Pay 48x your stake to trigger the Bonus Wheel with 6 Bonus symbols.
• Pay 68x your stake to trigger the Bonus Wheel with 7 Bonus symbols.
• Pay 86x your stake to trigger the Bonus Wheel with 8 Bonus symbols.

Review Summary

We can't say the Aztec genre is something new to the gambling world, but we're sure the provider has tried hard enough to make the game exciting at all its stages.

The graphics are not in the most modern style, but they still look good enough, considering that your attention will be riveted to the symbols that come to life from time to time, as well as to the background, which, together with the soundtrack, create the maximum immersion in the mysterious atmosphere of the game. The game runs smoothly and without hitches on both mobile devices and PC. Among other things, you can optimize your gameplay with the fast-paced game mode or the autospin option. In this slot, the main (and only) entertainment is the Bonus Wheel, which is generous with multipliers and free spins. Besides, if today is your lucky day, then you can return home with Aztec treasures, which in the online world take the form of Jackpots.

Despite the promised treasures, the Piedra Del Sol slot is not particularly generous in terms of payouts. The standard symbols pay disappointingly little, and the max win potential (Grand Jackpot) only offers 2,289x when played at max bet. Given the game's high volatility and low payout percentage, this is far from the best max prize you can find in Aztec-themed slots.

Pros

• Bonus Wheel Feature with multipliers (up to x500), free spins (up to 20) and various Jackpots
• FS w/ the chance to retrigger the Bonus Wheel Feature
• Immersive game design and soundtrack
• You can purchase the bonus feature for 32-86x your stake (for non-UK players)

Cons

• RTP of 95% is below average
• Low symbols’ cost and the max win is only 2,289x
