Aztec Ascension Smash Pots: Climb The Ancient Temple For up to 15,000x Wins

The ancient Aztecs left behind plenty of mysteries, and RAW iGaming's Aztec Ascension Smash Pots has us climbing jungle temples in search of jackpots. With expanding reels, four different wilds, and respins that can turn ordinary reels into towering stacks of symbols, there's plenty here to keep the climb interesting, especially with up to 15,000x wins waiting at the top.

The game starts on a 5x4 grid with 1,024 ways to win, while symbol pays range from 0.10x to 2.50x my bet. That's not exactly generous, but the game throws four different special symbols, regular wilds, multiplier wilds, expander wilds, and transformer wilds. With so many ways to win, I had little trouble avoiding the tiny sub-1x payouts, although without multiplier wilds, most wins still struggled to get beyond 2.70x my bet.

The Moon and Sun Scatters can trigger two different respins. The expanded and wild-heavy reels usually added another 0.50x to 1x to my wins, pushing some regular payouts up to 5x my bet. They didn't appear particularly often, but they were a neat way of keeping the base game from turning into a complete slog.

I kept seeing one or two bonus symbols without getting the third, and it took another half hour of spinning before three finally landed, giving me six free spins. The bonus brings a super thrill reel on every spin, while moon scatter expansions can permanently grow the reels and push the number of ways to win even higher. I saw 5x to 7x Multiplier Wilds and eventually reached 1,536 ways, but the individual wins remained fairly low, and the feature ended with a decent 32.60x payout.

I gave the bonus another shot later, and this time landed four bonus symbols for eight free spins. The first spin immediately dropped a 3x multiplier alongside a 17x win, finishing with a surprisingly good 92.50x win! 

Aztec Ascension Smash Pots does a good job of giving its relatively low symbol pays some support, with the expanding reels and different Wilds making the base game more interesting than it initially looks. The bonus game can swing both ways, but I was happy to see it carry the kind of winning potential that makes me want to revisit slots.
