Reflex Gaming Unveils The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™

Reflex Gaming, the largest independently owned omni-channel game provider in the UK, has announced the release of its latest slot game, The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™. This new addition to their game catalog immerses players in a captivating Aztec-themed adventure brimming with dazzling graphics and groundbreaking features, most notably the exclusive Treasure Hunt™ game mechanic developed by Reflex Gaming.

The game is designed on a 6x4 reel set with 20 paylines, drawing inspiration from the riches and secrets hidden within the ancient ruins linked to Montezuma's era. A key highlight is the Treasure Hunt™ mechanic, which is activated by landing two Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. Upon activation, players are taken on an exploratory journey mapped out in 30 segments, where they can uncover Free Spins, cash prizes, jackpots, and Sticky Wild bonuses.

Unlike conventional slot features, the progression on this treasure map is retained between gaming sessions. This continuity allows players to experience a sense of progress and investment akin to a narrative-driven game.

Unique Gameplay Mechanics to Enhance Player Engagement

Among the standout aspects of the Treasure Hunt™ mechanic are the Sticky Wilds, which players collect during the treasure map exploration phase. These Sticky Wilds are carried over to the subsequent Free Spins round, provided it is initiated through map progress. This feature encourages sustained engagement by offering a persistent element in gameplay, making each session feel interconnected and rewarding.

The game offers even more thrills by enabling Free Spins when three or more bonus symbols appear on the reels simultaneously. During these Free Spins, collecting additional Scatter symbols allows players to access a bonus wheel, presenting opportunities to win multipliers, more Sticky Wilds, or one of the four fixed jackpots available. The Cursed Idol of Montezuma Treasure Hunt™ boasts a lucrative potential win exceeding 3,800 times the stake (up to €380,000), promising ample excitement.

Further adding to the game's allure is the Montezuma Mystery Prize, activated when full stacks of Montezuma symbols align alongside the special Cursed Idol symbol. This adds a cinematic flair, with dramatic visual effects enhancing the potential for large wins.
