Mayan Civilization In Online Slots

Added: November 26, 2014

We tend to think of ancient civilizations as those located in regions around the Mediterranean Sea. But there were equally advanced and opulent civilisations in South and Central America. The legends and lifestyles of the Incas, Aztecs and Mayans have been depicted in online slot games. This article reviews two video slot machines based on the theme of Mayan civilisation.

The first slot game is from the software provider Realtime Gaming and is titled Mayan Queen. The Mayan Queen is the wild symbol, but it has properties different from the usual wild symbols in online slots. It appears only on reel 3 and it does not award line payouts. But it substitutes for the scatter symbol, and acts as a 2x multiplier when it appears in winning combinations. It has an amazing visual impact as it expands across all rows to exhibit the Mayan Queen in all her majesty. The emerald is the scatter symbol, which awards scatter payouts and activates the free spins bonus round. You will be awarded six free spins. The Mayan Queen wild symbol appears expanded on reel 3 by default during all free spins. Hence though the number of free spins is few, they pay out a lot. The other thematic symbols depict ornaments and animals from Mayan culture. The largest line payout is awarded by the Mayan pyramid temple. Being a slot game from Realtime Gaming, it includes the randomly triggered progressive jackpot. Mayan Queen can be played at online casinos such as Club World, Win Palace and Manhattan Slots.

The slot game from Microgaming also has a female as the central character. This shows the importance given to women in these ancient civilizations. Mayan Princess also has similar symbols that include Mayan beasts, food and artefacts. The Mayan Princess logo is the wild symbol and it awards the largest line payout. The other symbols include the Mayan princess and the warrior. The pyramid temple triggers the free spins bonus round in which you can win between 10 and 20 free spins with doubled payouts. The free spins can be retriggered. Microgaming is known for its appealing win animations and these are incorporated in this slot game as well. All the symbols exhibit win animations, which makes wagering more lively. Noteworthy are the dance animations in the Mayan princess and warrior symbols. Mayan Princess can be played at all Microgaming online casinos such as All Slots, Platinum Play and 32Red.
