Mayan Marvels Introduction
Mayan Marvels comes fresh from new developers Nektan, who have quickly established themselves as the rising stars of online casino solutions and mobile casino gaming. Formed in 2008, the company only really came to the world’s attention when they acquired mobile technology and services business Mfuse in 2013 and made partnerships in the US land-based market with Spin Games LLC, bringing in-venue mobile technology to casinos and proving a great success for both parties.
With an end-to-end technology platform and an imaginative design team, Nektan don’t just make pokies: you can check out their range of scratch-card and casino table games too. They also specialise in designing their games for mobile devices as well as desktops, so you can take Mayan Marvels with you wherever you go, and play on your smartphone or tablet on the move.
Theme
The slick graphics and authentic pan-pipe music at once welcome you to the world of the Mayans, one of the most successful civilisations in the history of the world. Based in the areas we now know as southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Belize, the Mayan civilisation is thought to have originated around 2600 BC and lasted until the 17th century AD.
As such, Mayan Marvels has a lot of history to live up to. You’ll quickly spot the large pile of gold behind the reels, which is a clue to what you’re in for with this game. The reels themselves hold card values of 10, J, Q, K and A as the low-scoring symbols, and four different Mayan carvings, each with a different colour gem, as the high-value symbols.
How to Win at Mayan Marvels
The Mayan Marvels logo is the highest-scoring symbol of the game, and if you can line up five of these on a payline, you’ll be rewarded with 500x your total bet. With five reels, three rows, and up to 15 active paylines, there are plenty of opportunities to hit winning combinations in Mayan Marvels.
There is also a wild symbol to help you along your way, represented by a golden carving of a face - this can substitute for any of the other symbols except for the free spins scatter symbol to help you up your prizes. This game offers flexible betting options, starting from $0.01 per active payline and ranging up to $1.00 per payline.
You can also play with between one and 15 paylines, so your maximum possible total bet could be $15. With this total bet, the jackpot on offer for landing five of the Mayan Marvels logo symbols would be $7,500.
Free Spins
Mayan Marvels also comes with a very generous free spins bonus round: if you are lucky enough to land three or more of the ‘Spin’ bonus symbols anywhere on the reels, you will automatically be awarded 30 free spins. As part of this free spins bonus feature, you can re-trigger the free spins by landing another three or more of the bonus symbols anywhere in view. Another 30 spins will be added to your total free spins, and you can keep on playing to reach those jackpot prizes.
