Rise of Maya

Rise of Maya Slot Review

With new slot from the widely famous NetEnt brings you to the South American jungle. The game visually is very pleasant which is typical for the slots of this provider. Transparent reels are located against the backdrop of an ancient temple pyramid built apparently by the ancient Mayan civilization for special rituals. This is also indicated by the many symbolic statues of highly revered animals, ornaments, and the brightly burning flame of the sacred fire. All parts of the temple are decorated with gold, which the ancient Maya loved so much. And it's safe to say that NetEnt did an excellent job of conveying the ancient, mysterious and bewitching atmosphere of that era. Also, the mechanic of the features is very typical for the style of this provider. It's time to go on a journey through time and learn all the secrets and wealth of this great and unusual civilization.

Rise of Maya Features

Wild Symbol. Wilds can be shown on any place on the game field stand for any symbols, but not for Scatters. There are four types of Wilds: 

• Single Serpent - can be shown on the first or third row.

• Expanding Serpent has two types and can grow up or down, and they may take place of the whole reel or not.

• Serpent Stacks can be shown on hot reels during Free Spins, and they can take place of the whole reel.

Free Spins. In case 3 or more Wilds and Scatters can be shown on any place on the game field. The reels where the Wilds were shown to start the feature are the "hot" reels. In case Serpent Stacks were shown on hot reels, they grow to fill the whole reel.

• 3 Wilds and/or Scatters - 10 Free Spins

• 4 Wilds and/or Scatters - 15 Free Spins

• 5 Wilds and/or Scatters - 20 Free Spins

For every Wild or Scatter that is shown on a reel that isn't spinning, 2 spins are added. The maximum number of spins you can get in the feature is 4.

Scatter Nudge. This feature is used at random in case there is no win. During this feature, Wilds or Scatters are nudged onto the reels.

Bonus Bet: Second Chance Scatter. In case the feature is turned on, the bet is doubled and the possibilities of more Scatters to be shown go up. This means that you can get more Free Spins and hot reels. 

Bonus Bet: Second Chance Scatter Re-Spin. Is turned on in the main game in case the previous feature is turned on and there are at least 2 Wilds or Scatters on the game field. The reels that don't have a Wild or Scatter on them spin again. This gives you the possibility for Scatter to be shown on the game field and trigger Free Spins.

Our Experience Playing

We tested the slot for 300 spins with a bet of 1 EUR and a total of 200 EUR. The first hundred spins gave us the maximum payout of 5 times the bet. We were lucky to activate Free Spins 2 times and got 22.5 and 44.5 times the bet respectively. For the first 100 spins, we got 5 EUR. We played the second 100 spins with the Bonus bet and got the maximum payout of 5 times the bet. We got access to Free Spins in which we got 20 times the bet. For the second 100 spins, we lost 15 EUR. The last hundred spins gave us a max payout of 6 times the bet. In Free Spins we got 32 times the bet. For 300 spins we lost 25 EUR.

Rise of Maya Slot Verdict

This is probably not the best work of this provider, but we can say for sure that it was done at a very high level and in the topic of ancient civilizations it will take pride of place among the best representatives of its class. Looking at the description, you can see that the slot will try to help you as much as possible in launching bonus features. Here is the launch of Free Spins equally with the help of Wilds and Scatters and the mechanics of Scatter Nudge and also Bonus Bet: Second Chance Scatter which, by increasing the bet, will add opportunities for you to launch the desired feature. The high-paying symbols won't leave you broke either, but they should land more often. The visual part of the game is definitely not something completely new, but at the same time, using a fairly popular theme, the developers have added a decent set of modifiers here. The potential of playing in the first couple will definitely attract players of all stripes from fans of the genre and seekers of high payouts to ordinary players who just want to diversify their gaming experience with nice pictures and animations with good payout potential.
