Introduction
Book of Itza is a video slot from Pariplay that was released on May 1, 2021. Visit the Maya people by going back in time and traveling deep into the jungles of Central and South America. Explore the spectacular temples and pyramids of this intriguing society, which is known for its accomplishments in astronomy, architecture, mathematics, and the visual arts. This culture is famous for its contributions to the growth of these fields. While you are on your journey, you should be ready to have a lot of fun while you are unearthing wonderful prizes and precious gems. When it comes to the images in this slot, they are spotless and clear, and they display a significant amount of distinction between the various symbols. The visuals are nothing to write home about, and they seem to have been optimized to limit the amount of data used when the game is played on mobile devices. The most stunning content is often reserved for when the game's features are unlocked, thus winning animations are typically short and don't include a lot of flash. The music is a rather generic song that might be described as 'classic Aztec,' with melodies and drums that have a tribal feel to them. The reel effects are blended at a level that is high enough to be heard while also being reduced to a degree that allows the music to take priority.

Book of Itza Bonus Features
Sticky Expanded Wild Respins. Locked Frames are added to the reel position if a Wild symbol appears. Once every location on a single reel has a Locked Frame (lighted frame) around it, the whole reel will turn into a Sticky Expanded Wild and will activate the Sticky Expanded Wild Respins feature. During this Feature you are given 3 re-spins. The number of respins is reset to 3 whenever a new Wild symbol comes on the screen. The Sticky Expanded Wild and Locked Frames will continue to be in play during the whole of the feature. Reels that are completely covered with Locked Frames transform into a Sticky Expanded Wild, which has the potential to give additional rewards.
Free Spins. If there are 3 or more scatter symbols on the reels, the Free Spins feature will be activated, and you will be given 12 free spins. During the course of the free spins, you have the opportunity to trigger the Respins feature. If during the Free Spins there is not a complete reel of Locked Frames to activate the Respins feature, the reel that is automatically filled will be the one that is closest to being full, and this will then trigger the feature. In the event that two or more reels have an identical number of Locked Frames, the reel to the left will be selected. When the Respins feature happens during the Free Spins, an arbitrary multiplier of 2x up to 8x is added to all of the prizes from those respins. The Scatter symbol is not available when you are playing the Free Spins bonus round or the Sticky Expanded Wild Respins bonus round thus making it not possible to retrigger the Free Spins.
Our Experience Playing Book of Itza
As soon as we started playing, we could see that the reelset lived up to the expectations established by Pariplay, and the music that was playing evoked a sense of the tribal in each of us. Most gamblers look for big earnings playing these slots, so we had to test its payout potential. In order to accomplish this, we reverted to our standard tactic, which entailed making a deposit of 200 Euros, adjusting the stake to 1 Euro, and giving it around 300 spins. We had a lot of spins that didn't pay out during the first one hundred, and we only had one win that was even remotely respectable, paying out 19 times the initial wager. Because of this, and despite the fact that we did manage to win some smaller amounts here and there, our initial attempt resulted in a loss of approximately 40 Euros. The following one hundred spins we played resulted in us triggering the free spins twice, and both times, the payoff that was presented to us was pretty large, specifically, it was 45 times and 65 times the amount that we had wagered. Also the Sticky Expanded Wild Respins feature provided us with a respectable payoff, as it gave us around 25 times the amount that we wagered. After 200 spins on this slot machine, we were able to earn a total of roughly 89 Euros, which is not a terrible result at all taking into account the high degree of volatility of this game. During our last one hundred spins, we only managed to activate the free spins once. This time, however, with the assistance of Sticky Expanded Wild Respins with a 2x multiplier, it resulted in a somewhat small payoff of about 20 times our original wager. Overall, after 300 spins, we won 47 Euros and were quite satisfied with our experience playing this slot.
Verdict
Anyone who enjoys playing games with Aztec-related themes should give this one a try because it features fluid animations and because it has a reasonable chance of paying out. Since this is a slot machine that has a high degree of volatility, you need to play it with extreme caution and know when to quit because it may swiftly make or ruin your bankroll. If you like slots from Wizard Games, definitely give this one a shot. Good luck and have fun!
