Slot Details

Beat The Beast: Quetzalcoatl’s Trial is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 9 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for two to five matching symbols on a line from left to right only. You can face the mighty serpent on desktop and mobile from 0.10 to 100 credits per spin. The game is highly volatile (square root of variance is 11.91) with an RTP of 96.16%.

Loading the game will take you into the midst of a Mesoamerican jungle with Aztex temples spread across the lush greenery and drenched in sunlight. Naturally, the feathered serpent dominates on the reels in various symbols alongside some traditional Aztec artefacts. A serene flute soundtrack is the main audio, although it will go into dramatic crescendos on teaser spins and big wins.

The pay symbols start at the low end with the card royals from 10 to A, awarding 10x to 15x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by ancient cups, battle axes, Aztec crowns and a Quetzalcoatl statuette. Hit five on a line to win 25x to 50x your stake. The top symbol is Quetzalcoatl while a green tile marked with ‘W’ acts as the wild symbol, substituting for all regular symbols and yielding a whopping 250x your bet when five land across the reels. A golden Quetzalcoatl emblem performs in a dual function as a wild symbol and scatter.

Beat The Beast: Quetzalcoatl’s Trial Slot Features

For their fourth creation in the High Danger series, Thunderkick turned to the mighty Aztec deity. The feathered serpent known as Quetzalcoatl played a major role in Mesoamerican religions combining a divine ability to fly and move on the ground. Time to take a closer look what otherworldly powers he will unleash on this slot reels.

There is really only one feature included in the gameplay. Hitting three or more Quetzalcoatl emblem scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger 10 free spins and award a coin win of 2x, 20x and 200x your total bet for three, four and five scatters respectively. Retriggers are available with the same combinations. The aim in the feature is to collect wild symbols and upgrade the regular pay symbols.

Each wild landing on a free spin will be collected in a meter and every time it is filled with five orbs it will upgrade the lowest premium symbol to the next higher in the paytable. It will start with cups to axes, followed by axes to Aztec crowns and so on. For each upgrade, the game awards +2 free spins. Filling the meter a fifth time will upgrade the premium to the top-paying Quetzalcoatl symbol, providing the extra potential to score mega wins of up to 5,555 times your bet.

Final Verdict

If there is anything to comment about Beat The Beast: Quetzalcoatl’s Trial then it can only be ‘more of the same’. Although Thunderkick is the master for the symbol upgrade mechanic, I was hoping for something new that would mesmerize us. Still, the game is not all bland as it delivers solid slotting action with max volatility. Our hopes to see some new mechanic rests now with the fifth and final slot in the High Danger series, which is due for release in October 2020.
