One 15x item on spin 105 turned 20.00 of red shield and purple octagon lines into 300.00, close to half of everything my 330 spins paid back. The session closed at 97.8% against the stated 96.52%, on a three-reel Pragmatic Play game whose only extra is a fourth reel holding nothing but multipliers.

Three reels of gems and a fourth that only multiplies
Jewels are such a favoured theme for slots, and it's not difficult to grasp why. Fortune Gems and Fortune Gems 2 are two other slots that run a separate multiplier reel beside the paying grid.
Aztec Gems is a low variance 3-reel, 3-row slot with 5 paylines. Every paying combination is three of a kind, read from left to right starting on the leftmost reel. It arrives supplied with an industry standard RTP configuration of 96.52%. The session for this review ran 330 spins at a 2.00 stake and returned 645.60 on 660.00 wagered, which works out to 97.8%, a shade above the stated figure. The Win Multiplier reel extends its multiplier to all line wins on the spin, so there's some promise here. On spin 105, four spins after the session's low point, three line wins worth 20.00 met a 15x item and paid 300.00, or 150x the stake.
The mask, the red shield and the 0.40 line
The gilded Aztec mask wild is the main focus in this Aztec-influenced slot, and it functions as a wild, substituting for all symbols. Three Wilds on a line also pay on their own, at 25 times the line bet, or 5 times the full stake. Of course, you'll discover a collection of regular symbols. Only the highest win is paid on each line, and wins on different lines are added together. These comprise yellow triangles, blue pentagon, red square, green round and blue gems as well as more precious purple octagonal gems and red shield-shaped gems, and it's the latter you're hoping to hit. The purple octagonal gem pays 15 times the line bet for three, and the yellow triangle sits at the bottom of the table at 2 times. It will award you 20 times your line bet for 3 across a payline. At the session's 0.40 line bet that line is worth 8.00, which is what it paid on spin 173 alongside a 6.00 purple octagonal gem line under a 1x item.
The creators have added a fourth reel of Win Multiplier symbols to the base game, and at the close of every spin, one symbol is randomly picked. That multiplier extends to all line wins for that spin. Spin 254 shows the smaller end of it, with two green gem lines worth 8.00 together turned into 24.00 by a 3x item.
Plain as a 3x3 grid gets
It's not excessively tricky to fathom, and in truth, Aztec Gems is a fairly basic and uncomplicated slot.
The Minty Summary: Across the 330 spins, 138 paid something, 81 of those paid less than the 2.00 stake, and the longest run without a win lasted 17 spins. Moreover, attaching a Win Multiplier on every spin in the base game inevitably means the base game and the Win Multiplier reel bear the entire RTP.
