Deciding whether this bet suits your bankroll
Choose your bet, then spin into an Aztec and fire theme. Aztec Blaze is a video slot on a 6x4 grid of six reels and four rows. It has 25 fixed paylines. A win needs at least 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels, read left to right from the leftmost reel, so a missing symbol on any reel breaks the line.
Pick this game if you want bonus rounds that build level by level. After any winning spin, Colossal Symbols Respins start at level 1 and climb to level 6, growing blocks from 2x2 to 4x4 and multiplying wins by x2, x3, x5 or x10. Two Scatter symbols on reels 1 and 6 trigger Free Spins, and Wild and Giant Symbol features help the rounds.

How do the free spins begin?
Covers how each mode starts, what it pays out and what it asks of you.
Aztec Blaze Extra Life toggle
Want more lives on a natural trigger? Switch on the Extra Life in Respins toggle, which lifts the total bet x1.6. A natural Free Spins trigger then grants 6 lives instead of 5. Buy Free Spins is disabled while the toggle is on.

Aztec Blaze with 25 paylines
Pick a bet, then spin the 6 reels x 4 rows grid. All 25 fixed paylines are active, and symbols pay left to right on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel.
Before any spinPaying line wins
Chase the 4x4 colossal blocks
Land a winning spin and a free respin sequence begins at level 1. Levels run from 1 to 6, and colossal symbol blocks grow from 2x2 up to 4x4 as they rise. Win multipliers of x2, x3, x5 and x10 apply as the level climbs.

Picking your stake first
Set your stake between the table minimum and the game maximum, using a preset chip or the plus and minus buttons. This page runs its examples at A$0.50 and A$2.
Reel one to reel six
A win needs matching symbols on adjacent reels, left to right, starting from reel one. The grid is 6 reels by 4 rows with 25 fixed paylines, so every spin covers all of them.
Watch the block grow each level
Land a winning combination and Colossal Symbols Respins kick in free, climbing six levels. Giant symbol blocks swell from 2x2 to 4x4 while win multipliers step up to x2, x3, x5 and x10.
Your ticket to the main event
Two SCATTER symbols, on reels one and six, open Free Spins; the round runs on respin lives topped up by the colossal blocks. A natural trigger keeps the full 2000x bet ceiling in reach.
A limit set in advance
Aztec Blaze pays on the full 2000x ceiling only when the round runs, so fix a spending limit and a walk-away point before the first spin. The National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 is there if play stops feeling like fun.
Aztec Blaze extras you can pay for

Set expectations before the first spin
Deciding to chase the bonus round in Aztec Blaze means accepting that nobody can say when it arrives. How often the Free Spins trigger is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP says. A long run of spins and a short one can end in opposite places, even on the same game rules.
Checking the RTP before you play is a sensible habit, but the version running on Vegastars is shown only in the game rules. Open the rules inside the game window to see the exact figure in force. Read them before the first spin, not after a losing session.
Aiming for the top prize is understandable, but the maximum win of Aztec Blaze is a ceiling reached very rarely. It marks the most the game can pay on a single bet, not an amount to expect from a session. Treat the figure as a limit that describes the game, not as a target for your own play.
