Aztec Twist Slot Machine

Aztec Twist is a video slot game with cluster paylines ways to win that was created by Hacksaw Gaming and is played on a grid with 5 reels and 8 rows layout. In addition, this game has a high volatility. 

This occurs when 5 or more matching symbols land connected horizontally or vertically anywhere on the grid. Instead of a cascade feature kicking in when wins hit, Hacksaw has come up with an alternate symbol locking system to pep up payouts. Combinations as high as 21+ are possible, and using the higher paying mask symbols to do so triggers a payout worth 40 times your stake – all have the same value. It's the same case with the lower value shape symbols, which are worth up to 15x for a 21+ sized combination. A hand pattern wild symbol helps here by substituting all symbols except the free spins tile.

Sticky symbols in one form or another are prominent in Aztec Twist, climaxing in free spins, where progressive golden mask symbols trigger a couple of prize cylinders. In the base game, if you land a full row of the same symbol, the row and any matching symbols attached to it turn sticky. Respins are awarded until these winning clusters do not grow any further, then a payment is made. In addition, each sticky row full of the same symbol gets a random multiplier of x2 to x5. If there is more than one full row involved in the cluster, the multipliers are added together before being applied.

Sun symbols are scatters, and 3 in view award 8 free spins. A couple of changes occur here, one being the addition of 2 cylinders at the top of the grid and the introduction of golden mask symbols. When golden mask symbols land, they lock in place to cover all of the positions in their respective row. This lessens the space available to make clusters, but the benefit is golden masks trigger the 2 cylinders at the top of the grid. The one on the left spins to award a multiplier of x1 to x8, while the right-hand side displays a starting prize value of 10x, which then gets multiplied by the first number.
