The main mechanic centres on the Quetzalcoatl Emblem symbol. It works as both Wild and Scatter, substitutes for regular symbols and triggers the bonus game when three or more such icons appear. In the base mode the slot remains a straightforward 5-reel game, while its main potential is revealed during Free Spins.

Bonus Mode

Bonus Game is triggered by Scatter symbols and starts 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.

When the meter is filled, a Symbol Upgrade takes place and a lower-paying symbol is upgraded to a more valuable one. Extra free spins are added for every completed level. The bonus portion has 5 levels in total and completing all of them can turn medium-value symbols into the highest-value Quetzalcoatl symbol.

Theme and style

The game falls into categories such as mythology slots, Aztec slots, Maya slots, jungle slots, adventure slots and video slots.

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