Azteca is a Playtech creation based on the sexy adventuress Lara Croft. The Azteca slot game is set in the ruins of the Aztec civilization. There are two types of symbols. One is based on the Aztec culture and includes the pyramid and golden idol. The other type is based on Azteca and includes her plane and knapsack. Azteca herself is the scatter symbol, which awards scatter payouts. During the win animations the close up of Azteca expands to a full length figure atop an Andes peak.
