How the Bonus Up Mechanic Works
The Bonus Up system is the slot’s backbone. Land 2 scatters on reels 1 to 3, and you pick one to reveal either an instant cash prize (up to 50x stake) or progression to the next city on the map. Three locations exist: Jungle City, Lake City, and Gold City. Each unlock a stronger bonus tier.
Land 3 scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 to trigger the Temple Picks bonus. You pick 1 block from each row of the temple, revealing a random free spin count, a starting win multiplier, and a super stacked symbol. The pick ends when you hit an ‘X’. The payouts depend entirely on which city you’ve reached – and that’s where the real variance lives.
Bonus Tiers and Free Spins
All 3 tiers come with a progressive win multiplier that climbs during the bonus round. The super stacked symbol lands randomly on each spin, stacking across the 1024 paylines. Here’s what each city delivers:
Landing scatters on reels 1 to 3 during the bonus round awards 5 to 10 extra spins with no upper limit. After the round ends, you always reset to Jungle City.
Bonus Buy Options and RTP
Bonus Buy is available in most jurisdictions (not UK). Three direct-entry options let you skip the grind and jump straight into a chosen city tier. Each option carries the same RTP – the cost scales with the tier, not the payout odds.
| Location (Cost) | Free Spins | Multiplier | Max Win |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jungle City (50x stake) | 15 | x5 | |
| Lake City (100x stake) | 25 | x8 | |
| Gold City (200x stake) | 50 | x15 | 50,000x stake |
The RTP8% to 98% when you use Bonus Buy. That bump is significant enough to shift the math model noticeably – worth factoring in if you’re planning longer sessions.
Base Game and Wild Symbol
The Aztec Calendar Wheel acts as the wild, substituting for all regular pay symbols. The 5-reel, 4-row grid runs 1024 ways to win. Spin range is 0.1 to 20 per spin. The base game is where this slot reveals its weak point – long stretches between scatter hits feel flat. The semi-transparent reels let you admire the background animation, which is nice, but it doesn’t compensate for the lack of base game momentum. The bonus is where the slot grows teeth.
Verified Big Win
The hit confirms the top-tier payout ceiling is real, though such results remain rare across high-volatility bonus rounds.
