It starts at 2, then 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128. That is how a single reel’s multiplier grows in Wonders of Aztec. In this game, released by Pragmatic Play on October 15, each reel has its own multiplier slot instead of one multiplier applying to the whole board. Depending on which reel a bomb lands on, the same win can be worth very different amounts.
Bombs only explode when there is a win
The basic structure is a tumble. Winning symbols disappear, new symbols drop into the empty spaces, and the chain continues. Bomb symbols can appear on any spin and any tumble. However, they only take effect if that round has a win. When there’s a win, a new 2x multiplier is placed on the reel where the bomb landed, and if the reel already has a multiplier, that value doubles.
In the official scene images, numbers like 2X, 8X and 4X float separately above the six reels. When all tumbles are over, the sum of these numbers is multiplied by that round’s win. You can grow just one reel high, or grow several reels a little at a time, and the total still goes up.
The super bomb raises all reels at once
If a regular bomb handles one reel, a super bomb handles the whole board. When a super bomb lands on a winning spin or tumble, the multipliers on all reels rise at the same time. If multipliers are already in place on all six reels, a single super bomb doubles the total at once.
Stacking multipliers and applying them at the end resembles Pragmatic Play flagships like Gates of Olympus 2500. The difference is where the multiplier stays. In the Olympus line, multiplier symbols land on the board and then disappear, but in Wonders of Aztec the value stays in the multiplier slot above the reel.
Multipliers are not wiped in free spins
4 scatters start 10 free spins, 5 start 20, and 6 start 30. Within the bonus, reel multipliers are not reset every spin. You carry the multipliers you built earlier into the next spin. A retrigger adds 5 more spins.
If a super scatter is mixed into a bonus-triggering combination, you enter the super bonus. Before it begins, a random number of bombs drop first to raise the starting multipliers of the affected reels. Unlike the regular bonus that starts from 0, you play the first spin with multipliers already in place.
The multiplier total is applied once after the tumbles end
Here is an example of the calculation order. Say that during a chain of three tumbles, a bomb lands twice on the first reel and once on the fourth reel. The first reel goes from 2x to 4x, and the fourth reel becomes 2x. When the chain ends, the sum of the two values, 6x, is applied once to the entire win of that round. The multiplier isn’t applied to each tumble separately; it is settled as a total after the whole chain is over.
That’s why chain length matters in the base game. Bombs only raise the multiplier on rounds with a win, so the longer the tumbles continue, the more chances bombs have to take effect. When the spin ends, the base game multiplier starts fresh on the next spin. This is where it differs most from free spins.
