Slot for the Ages
The Maya civilisation was one of the oldest and most successful of all Mesoamerican civilisations, having originated around 2000 BC and lasting until the Spanish conquests of 16th Century AD. Not only were the Maya people noted for their strong, prosperous and fearsome empire, but they can also be celebrated for their art, mathematics, astronomical system and architecture. Did you know that the Maya people created the only complete writing system of all the known pre-Columbian civilisations in the Americas?
Indeed, the Mayan Empire has much more to it than the juicy tales of brutal warriors, human sacrifices and apocalyptic calendar systems. This slot machine helps to promote this positive image by presenting a series of symbols that depict the nobility of the Maya people and their achievements as well as the beauty of the natural world that they live harmoniously with.
These icons include a proud and bold chief, a beautiful and benevolent princess, a magnificent Mayan pyramid, a fierce jaguar and a stunningly exotic toucan bird. The centrepiece of the game, however, is the mysterious Mayan calendar – a symbol of the civilisation's advancements in astronomical reading and hieroglyphics.
All of these symbols are presented in ultra-realistic fashion, coming to life whenever they fall on a payline with some neat animations.
Spin for Your Share of the Riches
This slot machine can be played with 40 paylines, 30 paylines, 20 paylines, 10 paylines or just 1 payline. This gives punters a wide variety of betting options, especially considering that the game offers a variety of different bet per line options too, such as 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 credits per active payline. With the bets in place, spinners can set the reels in motion and hope that the following combinations appear for some line bet multiplier prizes:
Mystery Wild
The Mayan calendar is shrouded in mystery – remember when we all though the world would end in 2012? Well, that was thanks to the Mayan calendar. Well, players will find that the calendar in this game promises much more prosperous possibilities since it acts as a stacked wild, replacing all icons except for the pyramid scatter.
That scatter icon appears on reels 2, 3 and 4, offering wins that are worth 2x the value of the total bet when three appear regardless of payline position. On top of that, three scatters on the board will trigger 5 free spins which can be retriggered indefinitely.
Go for a Gamble
Mayan Spirit gives players the chance to boost their smaller wins with a simple gambler game. This game can be triggered whenever a win that is less than 35x the value of the total bet is won. All punters need to do is guess whether a turned over playing card is red or black. Simple.
If you guess correctly, your win from the previous spin will be doubled. If you guess incorrectly, you will lose the original win and any accumulated gamble wins.
Jackpot Cards
Like all EGT slot machines, this game features a special Jackpot Cards side game that is triggered randomly on any spin. During this bonus feature, players will be in with a chance to win one of four progressive jackpot kitties.
Magnificent Mayans
Mayan Spirit is a beautifully designed slot machine that promises plenty of exciting spinning action. Not only does the base game of the slot offer a jackpot that could multiply the line bet by 1,000x, but the game also gives players the chance to boost their prize-haul with a simple gamble game and an exciting progressive jackpot side game.
