Piedra Del Sol Deluxe Slot Review

For those of you who might be as confused as I was about what Piedra del Sol Deluxe slot from Platipus Gaming references, allow me to ease your cognitive burden: it’s the Sun Stone 🌞(wrongly called the Aztec Calendar) that was carved out of basalt around 1479 CE.

The Sun Stone represents the cycle of life: much like how I keep ending up in relationships with bunny boilers. And now it all makes sense: how can I, a mere mortal, hope to break the cycle if even the gods themselves have deemed it thus? 🤷‍♂️

From now on, I’ll embrace my fate and search specifically on Tinder for women who tag their interests as “Mental Health Awareness.”

You know they’re the ones who will spray paint “cheater” and great big male genitals on your car 🚗 after having “caught” you chatting to your 70-year-old neighbor.

Gameplay

This new and exclusive game follows on the heels of the non-Deluxe version, which I’ll compare against in the Conclusion.

Some Jackpots are proudly displayed above the 5-reel 3-row grid: the Mini pays 100x, the Minor pays 200x, the Major pays 500x, and the Grand Jackpot pays 2,000x your bet. Not too shabby, eh?

Certain mobile players will rejoice at the fact that you can play left-handed, and the experience of playing on a small screen in portrait mode is certainly doable, as the symbols are big and bold.

The Wild symbol is the explorer babe, and she replaces all symbols that aren’t Bonus ones (which are gold Coins with a face motif on em). You’ll need the Bonus symbols to enter the Bonus Wheel feature, but more on that in a bit.

Looking at the stats we find 50 paylines, a 96.10% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots. RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate., and a high volatility rate. The max multiplier is 4,344x, and the top prize is $347,520. There are no currency limitations.

Features

BONUS WHEEL:

Hitting 5 Bonus symbols simultaneously in the base game triggers this feature. On the outer edge of the Wheel are random numbers of Free Spins interspersed with arrows.

Hit an arrow, and you move into the inner circle of the Wheel where you can win the Jackpots (with the innermost area being the Grand Jackpot).

FREE SPINS:

Thanks to the Bonus Wheel, you can win up to 30 Free Spins, and the feature will start straight after the Bonus Wheel is done. Free Spins in this game offer nothing special; all you get are the spins.

BUY BONUS:

With the Buy Bonus option, you purchase Bonus symbols rather than a feature. The more Bonus symbols you buy, the better the Free Spins awards on the Bonus Wheel.

• 5 Bonus symbols cost 82x
• 6 Bonus symbols cost 125x
• 7 Bonus symbols cost 170x
• 8 Bonus symbols cost 215x

Performance

Many, many spins and not one issue; that’s what testing revealed.

Maximum Win

Betting starts at $0.50 and tops out at $80. The max multiplier is 4,344x, and the game’s win potential is capped at $347,520.

Conclusion

So here’s the thing: in the previous version of the game, Bonus symbols carried multiplier values of up to 500x. That’s not the case with the new game. What we have gained is better Free Spins potential (30 versus 20).

The cost of the Buy Bonuses has also escalated in the Deluxe version. However, the old game’s max multiplier is 2,289x, which means you must pay an astonishing $170 per spin to chase down its $389,130 potential payday.

I don’t know how Platipus can call this game the Deluxe version when we’ve lost those multipliers we need to make money. Screw Free Spins; those are nowhere near as helpful.

If we’re not comparing the older and newer version of the game, and simply taking Piedra del Sol Deluxe slot on its merits, is it worth your time and money? Kinda.

We have access to a Jackpot round, which seemed to trigger a decent number of times without resorting to the Buy Bonus. But making money hinges solely on the Jackpots, and we know that’s not going to be as profitable as we might like.
