This 2020 Microgaming (All41 Studios) release is not your typical run-of-the-mill slot but stands out in numerous ways, starting with the impressive Nobleways mechanism with no less than 15 625 win ways.
Mayan Eagle slot machine, with an RTP of 96.32% and High Volatility, is available to try for free in the DEMO version on our page. This action-packed slot features Rolling Reels, which are becoming ever more popular among regular players. Winning symbols are cleared from the grid, making room for the next random symbols to drop in their places.
As long as winning combinations are formed, this profitable process keeps on repeating. The Mayan vibrancy doesn’t stop there: Besides the jumpy Jungle Drum soundtrack, there are Wilds, Mystery Symbols, Scatters, Free Spins, and a chance at the max prize of 260 000 coins (13 000x the total bet) at your fingertips. No registration is required.
15625 ways – how does Mayan Eagle slot work?
125×5=15,625 |
625×5=3,125 |
125×5=625 |
25×5=125 |
5×5=25 |
The concept of the 15625 ways slot machine is different. The ordinary slot machine is built with a specific number of pay lines. There are no pay-lines, but alternatively, you get a chance to score every realizable left-to-right combo of adjacent symbols, no matter where the spot of the symbol on the reel is.
Identical and adjacent – those are the key attributes. You place 1 stake, but get any of 15625 possible variations of 2+ or 3+ consecutive matching symbols, whereby naturally, the longer the combo, the higher the payout. So, regarding the current – Mayan Eagle slot machine, since all possible combinations are accessible for the player, due to the 6×5 grid, the number of pay lines is equal to 5x5x5x5x5 – or 15 625.
Personal testers’ opinion
- Some may say that the Mayan elements are widely overused in slots, and the whole ancient North American civilization theme has become worn out and insipid. This is certainly true if there are no other qualities to be considered. Even if built around an unoriginal theme, here, anyone will recognize the beautiful graphics and video effects, pleasant audio, distinctive symbols, and finely diversified (not too much/just right) gameplay. Players will also appreciate the good hit frequency – of near 38% (much higher than the average slot). However, the narrow betting possibility (only until 20 CAD) seems to be a hurdle for the high-risk takers with bigger wallets.
- We established that the slot doesn’t keep the balance during the testing, i.e. not recommended to the bonus hunters. The base game often generates a series of a few dozen rounds without a win or with wins smaller than the bet, which are actually losses. It is trying to compensate for eating the credits by delivering now and then Mystery symbols combos. But that is not enough, and logically when it’s cold, it can easily totally deplete you.
- The other negative aspects are the poor paytable (typical for 3125 win ways and MegaWays games), non-paying Wilds and Scatters, no stacked or expanding Wild functions. The avalanche win combos do trigger new cascades, but there are no multipliers attached in the base game.
- To get the bonus here is very hard. We had sessions where we had to hold on, anticipating for over 600 spins. By then, we were almost broke, so even the reward of 400x the total bet was not enough to recover.
- The Mayan Eagle slot machine is not for the faint of heart. Because of its high volatility can be ‘hairy’ and uncertain since no large wins are expected in the base game, and the bonus round is miles away. It requires a big starting capital, but a few times, we successfully extended our playtime by decreasing the stake after every win with Mystery symbols.
- If you like this type of slot mechanic – the Nobleways, be sure to try also the MegaWays online slots.
Features
- Wild Mayan Temple – not paid, unfortunately, but it does replace all symbols except MAYA Letter Scatters. Appears only on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the base game and the Free Spins.
- Mystery Symbols – At any time, a random amount of these mysterious symbols land on the reels and change into any other of the game’s symbols, except Scatters and Wilds.
- Rolling Reels – Both in the regular spins and Free Spins, every winning combo dissolves and leaves empty spaces for new symbols to drop. As long as new paying combinations are formed, this process continues.
- Free Spins – Landing the 4 Scatter letters M_A_Y_A at once will launch 12 Free Spins, which start with a 2x multiplier, progressively increasing by 1 every time you hit a consecutive win via the Rolling Reels.
- Landing an M, A, or Y- Scatter will get you 2 extra Free Spins, and landing all 4 Scatters once again will re-trigger the Free Spins mode.
