Aztec Smash slot overview
Aztec Smash is a Pragmatic Play slot played on a 7×7 grid. Its main mechanics are tumbling wins, randomly marked multiplier positions and a scatter-triggered free spins feature.
The defining element is the Smash Multiplier. It can apply a 10x multiplier during the base game, while the free spins version can increase through a series of steps until it reaches 1,000x.
How the 7×7 tumble grid works
The game uses a square 7×7 layout rather than a conventional reel presentation. Winning combinations can be followed by tumbles, giving the Smash Multiplier another opportunity to mark random positions after each stage.
Multiplier marks only affect a winning combination when the marked positions are part of that win. This makes the location of each mark as important as the displayed multiplier value.
Smash Multiplier in the base game
After every initial spin or subsequent tumble, the Smash Multiplier can mark random positions on the grid. Any winning combination containing one of those marked positions receives a 10x multiplier.
The feature is tied directly to individual grid positions. A multiplier mark does not automatically affect every win from that spin or tumble, since the marked position must contribute to the winning combination.
Triggering the free spins bonus
Landing between three and seven scatter symbols activates the bonus game. The trigger awards between 10 and 30 free spins.
Scatter symbols remain relevant after the feature begins. Further scatters during free spins retrigger the bonus and add more spins.
The multiplier ladder during free spins
The Smash Multiplier begins at 10x when free spins start. Each subsequent trigger increases its value by another 10x until the multiplier reaches 100x.
Once the multiplier is at 100x, later triggers raise it in 100x increments. This progression continues until the feature's maximum Smash Multiplier of 1,000x is reached.
Retriggers and feature progression
Retriggering the bonus extends the number of free spins available. That added duration also provides further rounds in which the Smash Multiplier may trigger and move up its progression ladder.
The two mechanics have separate roles. Scatters add free spins, while additional Smash Multiplier triggers increase the active multiplier according to the 10x and 100x step structure.
What to watch in the Aztec Smash demo
The demo provides a practical way to follow the order of each spin, tumble and multiplier check. In the base game, watch which positions receive a 10x mark and whether those positions become part of a winning combination.
During free spins, pay attention to the current Smash Multiplier after each trigger. The main mechanical contrast is between the base game's 10x treatment and the bonus ladder that can rise as high as 1,000x.
Aztec Smash feature summary
Aztec Smash combines a 7×7 grid with tumbling wins and position-based multiplier marks. The base game can apply 10x multipliers, while three to seven scatters award 10 to 30 free spins.
The bonus adds a progressive version of the Smash Multiplier, first rising in 10x steps and then in 100x steps after reaching 100x. Scatter retriggers can extend the feature, and the multiplier progression is capped at 1,000x.
