Williams Interactive’s (WI) new online slot release is the highly popular “MONTEZUMA™”, the 5-reel 30 payline slot machine game built with WMS Gaming’s Wheel Bonus mechanism. It features a bonus round, which awards three (3) up to 25 free spins. Online players can now experience the excitement brought by the “MONTEZUMA™” Vegas-style slot entertainment that rewards up to ten times (10x) the amount of money waged on multiple winning paylines.
The graphics, the color-scheme and the background music of “MONTEZUMA™”, all combined into one great paying slot entertainment would immediately impress any online player as one that was creatively executed. The clean and uncluttered look allows players to appreciate the exquisitely crafted illustration of the Aztec Ruler, the Aztec Princess, of Montezuma’s fabled temple, of an eagle and other artifacts such as the headdress, gold mask and a snake-icon.
The “MONTEZUMA™” Wheel Bonus Round brings a unique kind of gaming experience because the number of spins awarded depends on the result of the animated spinning action of a large spinning wheel. The Aztec version of a spinning wheel if ever the ancient Aztec civilization had one, also serves as the Scatter Symbol. The Wheel Bonus round is activated if three (3) such symbols appear in any position across all five reels.
During the bonus round, and while the five reels are spinning, the spinning wheel will also turn and stop simultaneously with the reel spinning action. Once both reel and wheel comes to a stop, the multiplier appearing on the centermost portion of the wheel will be the number of times by which a win on any winning payline will be increased. Moreover, if two or more of the Scatter Symbols appear during the free round, the player will be rewarded with additional free spins; the number of which will again be determined by the results of the animated wheel spinning action.
Another great thing about the “MONTEZUMA™”game is that it shows a pro-forma of the payline combinations right above the reels, when achieved by the emerging icons. This special game feature therefore gives newbie slot players an idea of how and what they achieved as wins on every outcome of a spin.
The image of the fabled Montezuma temple in which unknown treasures are said to be hidden, serves as the WILD and can bring forth rewards from multiple-paying combinations. This is because the WILDs can serve as substitute for any icon needed to complete the combination of a winning payline or paylines.
