About Montezuma
Williams (WMS) Gaming is responsible for the creation of the Montezuma online video slot. We have been seeing some pretty sophisticated work from them recently in the form of ten-reel, one-hundred pay line games, but this is a more normal slot. It features five reels, and thirty pay-lines with a starting wager of only 0.01, over thirty lines the minimum total wager to activate all lines is only 0.30. The maximum coin size is 2.00, which makes for a maximum top bet of 60.00. Now we come to the highest paying prize in game – this is only 600 coins, but there are various other ways to win even more cash.
Special Features
Montezuma’s Revenge is a pretty nasty tummy bug that people might pick up when travelling overseas – generally South American Countries. Fortunately a tummy bug is not the theme of this game, and the real Montezuma was an Inca, hence the reason for the name, as well as the Aztec theme of this game. Reels are set into a backdrop of the untamed wild jungle of Central America, where tales of untold wealth have been told for centuries past.
Graphically this video slot is very pleasing to the eye and features illustrated icons such as an eagle, Aztec lady, Incan pyramid, mask, wheel feature, headdress, chieftain, and a dragon icon. All other icons are Ace, King, Queen and Jack. The Wild icon is the rendition of a pyramid, while the wheel triggers the feature game. Ambient sounds are entertaining, and not too over the top, with birds chirping in the background it is hardly likely that any player would want to turn them off. Being a wild symbol the pyramid substitutes for all other icons, barring the wheel.
Bonus Features
As far as bonus features go, this is not necessarily the most exciting feature we have seen. It is not really separate from the game itself, and is a free spin feature that is awarded by the spin of the wheel. The wheel will award anything from three to twenty-five spins, and free spins can also be re-triggered. It also reveals free spin multipliers of between two and ten times the current wager. Remember it is free to play, so take advantage of this situation and get a feel for the game, it is pretty exciting stuff, despite the lack of a truly separate bonus game.
