About the Game
Welcome to The Cursed Idol of Montezuma–Treasure Hunt™ by Reflex Gaming featuring Free Spins with Sticky Wilds, the Secret of Montezuma Bonus and the all-new Treasure Hunt™ Card Progressive Feature!
This is a 6-reel 4×4 video slot with 20 fixed paylines. Line wins are paid from left to right on adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost one. All paytable symbols pay for 3 or more adjacent symbols on an active line, except for the Montezuma and Wild symbols, which pay for 2 or more adjacent symbols on an active line.
Only the maximum win per payline is paid. The game has 4 low-value symbols that are card suits and 5 high-value symbols that are Aztec-themed (snake, bird, dog, jaguar, temple, Montezuma). Additional symbols: Bonus (three or more symbols on the field trigger free spins), Cursed Idol (activates the Mystery of Montezuma feature when appearing on the field together with any full stack of Montezuma symbols) and Wild symbol. Wild, Sticky Super Wild and Sticky Mega Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except the bonus and Cursed Idol. Wild also does not replace part of the Montezuma stack of symbols in relation to activating the Mystery of Montezuma feature.
Pot Prizes
There are 4 fixed prizes: Mega, Major, Minor and Mini.
- Mega is worth 500x the base bet.
- Major is worth 100x the base bet.
- Minor is worth 25x the base bet.
- Mini is worth 10x the base bet.
Free Spins
Landing 3 or more bonus symbols in view awards you with 10 free spins. Landing 4 or more bonus symbols in view also awards sticky wilds at the start of the free spins.
- 3 bonus symbols: 0 sticky wilds
- 4 bonus symbols: 1 sticky wild
- 5 bonus symbols: 2 sticky wilds
- 6 bonus symbols: 3 sticky wilds
Sticky wilds are placed randomly and remain for the entire free spins round. Free spins are played with the same number of paylines and bet as the starting spin.
Re-Trigger
During Free Spins, all Bonus symbols that appear in view are added to the 15-level track. For every 3 filled steps on the track, one spin of the Bonus Wheel is awarded (the feature is retriggered). The Bonus Wheel consists of two concentric discs. The inner disc awards +3, +4, +5 or +6 additional Free Spins. The outer disc can award: +1 Sticky Wild, +2 Sticky Wilds, +1 Sticky Super Wild, +1 Sticky Mega Wild or the Bank Prize. Sticky Super Wilds and Sticky Mega Wilds substitute for all regular symbols (except Bonus symbols and Cursed Idol symbols) and add a multiplier to any line wins they contribute. A Sticky Super Wild multiplies a win by 2x, while a Sticky Mega Wild multiplies it by 5x. If multiple Sticky Super Wilds and/or Sticky Mega Wilds contribute to the same line win, their multipliers are added together before being applied to the win total.
Sticky Wilds won in the Bonus Wheel are added to the reels before any payline wins for that Free Spin are awarded. Any payline wins resulting from a Sticky Wild will be paid out on the same spin. A Sticky Wild cannot be placed on top of another Sticky Wild. If the outer disc wins a pot prize, a third disc appears and spins, awarding one of the 4 pot prizes. Up to 6 additional Free Spins can be awarded for each Re-Spin. The maximum number of Re-Spins is 5, and a total of 40 Free Spins can be awarded.

Montezuma Mystery Bonus
The Mystery of Montezuma Bonus is activated by landing the Cursed Idol symbol on reel 6 and by landing one or more full stacks of Montezuma symbols on reels 1 through 5. When this symbol lands, all Montezuma stacks are transformed into Mystery Reels, each of which awards a cash or pot prize. Possible outcomes on the Mystery Reels are: 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, MINI Pot, SMALL Pot, MAJOR Pot, MEGA Pot (cash values are shown as multiples of the base bet). The Cursed Idol symbol appears on reel 6 only. On a random spin in the main game, when a Cursed Idol symbol lands on reel 6 and one or more partial stacks of Montezuma land, the symbols below the stacks may collapse, allowing full stacks to land and triggering the feature.
Treasure Hunt™ Map Feature
The main game is a 6×5 treasure map with 1 Free Spin and 3 Sticky Wilds hidden among 30 squares. Landing 2 Bonus symbols gives the player the option to choose a card where they can reveal the result obtained on the square. Possible card selection results are: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, MINI, MINOR, MAJOR, MEGA, Free Spins, +1 Sticky Wild or an empty card square (cash values are shown as multipliers of the base bet). All Sticky Wilds revealed are added to the counter. If Free Spins are awarded from a card, accumulated Sticky Wilds are awarded at the start of the feature. Note: Accumulated Sticky Wilds are not awarded for Free Spins awarded from 3 Bonus symbols in view, only via card selection. The state of the card and the accumulated sticky Wild symbols are saved between selections (at the same bet and game mode) and are only reset when free spins are opened (free spins received during a reel spin do not reset the card). There is a separate card for each bet and game mode. When you first enter the game and when you re-initialize the card, 5 empty cells appear on it, which gives the player an advantage.
Bonus Buy
The bonus purchase allows the player to immediately purchase the free spins bonus feature. 10 free spins can be purchased for 100x the base bet. Once purchased, 3, 4, 5 or 6 Bonus symbols will appear on the reels, activating the free spins.
Golden Bet
The Golden Bet can be activated for an additional fee of x0.5 of the bet. When activated, free spins are activated twice as often. Wins are paid out according to the paytable and are calculated based on the base bet. The Golden Bet is valid only in the main game and does not affect free spins.
