The game looks impressive, especially that Mayan skeleton on the side of the playing field looking at us curiously. The symbols are quite colourful, with the high-paying ones relating to Mayan life. The designers have tried to make the overall look of the game intimidating, but this is generally irrelevant as it is the payouts that the game will give us that is important.
Features of Mayan Stackways Slot
- The Stackways symbol has the potential to appear on any and all reels, and when it does, it adds anywhere from two to ten more matching symbols to whatever reels it lands on. This results in a boost in the number of possible winning combinations, which may go as high as 100,000 if all of the reels are stacked to their maximum capacity. The symbol that will be stacked is determined to be the one that will result in a win line that is the longest possible, and the stacking function is only activated if it will result in a win.
- If you are lucky enough to hit two skull Scatters anywhere in view, you will activate the Stack Spins Bonus Round, which will provide you with 10 Free Spins. This feature allows you to activate reels using the Reel Activator symbol, and it also increases the frequency of Stackways symbols that appear on the screen. During the duration of the bonus round, activated reels will always have a chance to land Stackways symbols on each spin, and you will get an additional four Free Spins if you land three skull Scatter symbols on the same Free Spin.
- The Mayan Gold Bonus Round will begin when there are four skull Scatter symbols visible, and during this round, you may win both blanks and coin symbols. There are three different coin levels, and the value of each coin is added to the counter that is located directly above each reel when the Coin sign is present. The bronze coins add values ranging from 1 to 5, the silver coins add values ranging from 10 to 20, and the gold coins add values ranging from 25 to 1,000. You also have the chance to land a multiplier symbol, which increases the value of the current reel counter by x2, x3, x4, or x5, respectively.
- After a while, you’ll begin to land Stackways symbols on separate reels. When this happens, the relevant reel will be filled with stacked coins of the same value as the reel counter at the time. The reels that are stacked come to a standstill, but you still have a chance to score a Collect sign on one of the other reels. This symbol is responsible for collecting all of the coins that are present on the stacked reels and putting their combined value into a safe underneath. This will unlock the stacked reels that are involved. When all of the reels of Mayan Stackways are stacked, the value of all of the coins and the vault are added together to determine how much you have won.
- In addition, there is a Golden Opportunity feature that is based on the Mayan Gold bonus, and it is activated when there are five skull Scatter symbols in view. This golden form of the bonus can only be triggered in the traditional way, and each reel begins with a value of 50 when it is activated.
- You have four bonus buy options in Mayan Stackways, the first of which is a bonus bet, meaning you pay three times as much on each spin, but the chance of two hitting one of the bonus rounds increases by five times. The second option is to purchase the Stackways feature at the cost of 40 times your bet. The two bonus rounds already mentioned will cost you 110 times your bet for the Stack Spins and 200 times the bet for the gold version.

Our opinion
Mayan Stackways turned out to be quite an interesting game, as besides the two bonus rounds during the base game, we have an innovation called Stackways. This feature splits the reel into additional cells which are of the same symbol and have a multiplier. If it triggers by itself, it brings good wins, but in our opinion, it is not worth buying.
We have two additional bonus rounds, one is from Free Spins where you can get good payouts, and the other is from a bonus coin game which adds a multiplier which is finally applied to the amounts collected from all the coins on the playing field. There’s always something happening on the grid, so you won’t have time to get bored, and the possibility of winning 10,000 times your bet makes the Mayan Stackways slot quite attractive.
