The main mechanic is linked to the Quetzalcoatl Emblem. It works as both Wild and Scatter, substitutes for regular symbols and triggers the bonus game when three or more land. The base mode remains a clear 5-reel pokie, while its main potential is revealed during Free Spins.

Bonus mode

Bonus Game is triggered by Scatter symbols and begins with 10 Free Spins. Wild Collect becomes active in the bonus: the player collects green Wild symbols to fill a meter and advance through the levels.

Filling the meter activates Symbol Upgrade, which improves a low-paying symbol into a more valuable one. Each completed level adds more Free Spins. The bonus includes 5 levels in total, and completing all of them can transform the medium-value symbols into the highest-paying Quetzalcoatl symbol.

Theme and style

Beat the Beast: Quetzalcoatl’s Trial uses the style of ancient civilisations, jungles and Mesoamerican mythology.

The visual style focuses on a temple atmosphere, green jungles, stone symbols and the trial of an ancient deity. This is not a classic fruit machine, but a high-volatility Thunderkick pokie with a simple base structure and a multi-level bonus.
