Lost Relics 2 Slot Overview
Right chat, Lost Relics 2 is the NetEnt follow-up to the 2018 original, swapping the female adventurer for a Fedora-wearing bloke poking around an Aztec temple. It runs on a 6x6 Cluster Pays grid that can balloon up to 10x10 in the bonus, released 7 September 2023.
First impressions for me are solid. The visuals aren't as flashy as the original but the chest hunt mechanic gives the base game a hook the first one didn't really have. If I'm honest with chat, this feels like a sequel that actually justifies the number after the title.
Lost Relics 2 RTP, Volatility and Max Win
96.03% RTP at the top tier, with operators able to dial it down to 94.10%, 93.16% or 91.05%. Always check before you load it up. Volatility is high, hit frequency sits around 33.5%, so roughly two in three spins give you nothing. Max win is 21,148x your stake.
Gameplay and Symbols
Bet range runs from 0.10 to 4 per spin, which is a bit tight for high rollers but fine for most stream sessions. Wins form when 5 or more matching symbols connect horizontally or vertically anywhere on the grid.
Eight regular symbols pay. The four card suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades) handle the small stuff, paying between x0.1 and x15 for clusters of 5 to 20+. The four Aztec masks (dark green, light green, orange, yellow) are the meaty ones, with the yellow mask topping out at 50x stake for a 20+ cluster. Scatters trigger the bonus, wilds substitute and arrive via chests.

Lost Relics 2 Bonuses and Special Features
Two main features here: the Hidden Chests in the base game and the Free Spins round with grid expansion. Stone blocks sit under regular symbols, and winning clusters smash the blocks above them. Crucially, those revealed spaces stay revealed between spins, so you're chipping away at the chest constantly. There are no cascades, which still feels weird on a cluster slot.
Three chest tiers exist: Silver, Golden and Amethyst, each better than the last. Reveal a full chest and you bag a random prize: multiplier from 2x to 7x, up to 7 random wilds, cash from 2x to 250x, or a free spins trigger. Bigger chests can drop multiple rewards from a single reveal.
Bonus Buy Options
Free Spins and Level Up
Three scatters or a chest reward kicks off 10 free spins. In the bonus there are 3 or 4 chests on the grid instead of one, and a fifth prize type appears: Level Up. First Level Up expands the grid from 6x6 to 8x8, second one pushes it to 10x10. Everything resets visually when the grid grows.
Here's the kicker: in the bonus, multipliers stack and stay active for the whole round, and any wilds dropped become sticky. The 10x10 final level always has one Amethyst chest containing all four other prize types. Crack that and you're in max win territory. No Bonus Buy on this one, by the way.
