Aztec Magic Megaways is a high-volatility Mesoamerican-themed slot developed by BGaming, featuring a dynamic reels engine that expands up to 6x7 reels with a staggering 117,649 ways to win. Wild symbols land with multipliers up to x3 throughout every stage of the game, and all wilds lock in place as sticky wilds during the bonus round — a mechanic that can fuel payouts reaching 12,960x your stake.

BGaming has officially entered the Megaways arena, and Aztec Magic Megaways marks their very first release powered by the massively popular dynamic reels engine. The choice of a Mesoamerican theme is hardly surprising — BGaming has built an entire series around Aztec-inspired visuals, and this Megaways debut carries forward the familiar aesthetic and relatively streamlined gameplay that defines the range.
That said, the base game is notably stripped back compared to other Megaways titles on the market:
The bonus round is where things get more interesting — all wilds become sticky, dramatically increasing the potential for big consecutive wins. Players looking to trigger the feature more frequently can activate the x2 Chance ante bet, which doubles your chances of landing the bonus round.
A bonus buy option is also available in select jurisdictions (not available in the UK), giving players direct access to the feature round. Overall, while this is a functional Megaways release, it sits in the middle of the pack — competent but not particularly groundbreaking for the engine.
Our 200-spin session gave us a solid feel for both the base game and the coveted bonus round. After getting a brief taste of how the base game plays out, we moved on to purchasing the bonus round directly — which kicks off at around the 1-minute mark in our video.

BGaming's first venture into the Megaways format won't win any awards for originality — the Aztec theme has been done countless times before — but there are genuine positives worth highlighting.
