Pachamama Introduction
Endorphina's Pachamama pokie is named after the goddess from indigenous Andes cultures. Known locally as a fertility goddess, she is also referred to as the Inca version of what we might call 'Mother Nature'. She is widely revered for her provision of all natural wonders in exchange for sacrifices by the indigenous people.
In this free pokie, she certainly lives up to her name and provides some huge wins with no sacrifice required. Whilst it's not the most well-known theme for a game, Endorphina have compensated for this by establishing some of their finest graphics displayed in all gameplay, making for more immersive gameplay than ever before.
Format
Pachamama is a five-reel, 25-payline slot with a multitude of bonuses available and even more opportunities to win big. Players have the opportunity to adjust the amount coins are worth, with the ability to change the bet per coin to be between 0.01 to 5. This enables the player to play huge amounts should they wish to in order to gain the most out of their game.
Symbols include snakes, turtles, shamans, various cultural idols and the Chakana symbol.
Chakana Bonus
One of the many aspects putting the game ahead of its competition is the number of bonuses on offer. One of these is the 'Chakana bonus'. The Chakana, otherwise known as the 'Inka cross', is a holy symbol in ancient Andes cultures. Whilst the exact meaning is debated by experts worldwide, it is said to hold great importance to the cultures in question, and it follows logically that the significance of the symbol in 'Pachamama' should not be underestimated.
Triggered by three Chakana symbols appearing on reels 3, 4 and 5, the bonus game offers the player a chance to climb up the bonus pyramid for higher wins.
Gold Chakana Bonus
Upon reaching the top of the pyramid in the ordinary Chakana bonus, the Gold Chakana bonus round is triggered. During this exciting bonus round, the player has the opportunity to accumulate a multiplier of a mind-blowing 357x! Shaman Symbol The seemingly omnipotent Shaman symbol substitutes for most other symbols in this pokie, lighting up gold and acting as a scatter symbol.
You'll certainly be singing the shaman's praises by the end of play!
Design
Pachamama boasts high-quality interactive graphics with an immersive 'jungle' soundtrack. The pokie itself boasts animated symbols which when triggered on a winning payline turn like the ancient Inca stones that are so familiar from the culture on which the game itself is based whilst lighting up and illuminating to appear 3D. This has the added effect of making the game immersive and that much more enjoyable.
Gamble Option
As with most games provided by Endorphina, a 'risk' option is offered on every ordinary win. Pressing this button triggers a double-or-nothing game of Higher or Lower, where the player must pick a higher card than the dealer in order to double their win. This is a genius move on behalf of Endorphina - a simple yet highly effective way of adding that extra thrill to the game.
