Aztec Gems on a phone
No upright build at all. Turn the phone or you get a rotate prompt, and it wants 2.7 s before the first tap registers.
The phone check
Sideways only, and even then the controls sit close together. The stepper is a millimetre from the button that spends money. The demo pulls about 11 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 2.7 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.
This title ships in more than one return build
Pragmatic Play licenses 2 configurations of Aztec Gems. The spread from top to bottom is 2.03 points, which is about C$20 in expected cost per C$1,000 staked. Same reels, same features, different maths.
| Configuration | Return | House edge | Cost per C$1,000 vs the top build |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest build the studio licenses | 96.52% | 3.48% | baseline |
| Lowest build | 94.49% | 5.51% | C$20 |
How to see which one you are on, in three taps
- Open the demo and tap the burger or the ⓘ in the game's own toolbar, not the casino's.
- Scroll the info panel to the bottom. The return figure is printed in the rules footer.
- Compare it to the table above. If it is not the top row, that is the build you are being served.
123 of the 306 titles on this board carry more than one build, so this is worth doing once per game rather than once ever.
Where it sits on the board
That puts it 231 of 306 on our phone score, which weighs orientation first, then how long you wait, then whether the buttons are a sensible size. It runs 0.6 s over the 2.1 s board median, which you notice on a weak bar.
Across the 71 Pragmatic Play titles here the median is 1.9 s and 52 render upright.
What the game is
A 2018 release from Pragmatic Play. Board is 3x3, the mechanic is classic / multiplier reel. 3x3 classic slot with a fourth multiplier reel applying up to 15x to every win.
Swing is medium. Plan the demo around that and not around whatever the first ten spins do. Twenty dollars buys around 400 spins at the C$0.05 floor. The studio does not publish a capped maximum for this one.
