Play Mayan Marvels for Free

The Mayan civilisation was one of the longest standing in history with its origins going as far back as 2000 BC and lasting until the 17th century AD. As such, this slot machine has a whole lot of historical character to offer – over three millennias' worth! If you were to delve into the ruins of this game you will come across many old Mayan artefacts encrusted with colourful gems which hold ancient powers of fortune bringing.

Apart from those glowing gems of Mayan Marvels, the overall aspect is a little bit dull. Of course, back in those days the Mayan people didn't exactly have Dulux colour charts with which to decorate their vast stone carvings, but this does make the reels appear a little bit drab. Even so, the images are sharp and crisp to the eye and some authentic pan pipe music from the Americas plays in the background to help spinners escape to the exotic ancient lands of the Mayan empire. Plus, you can see a big pile of gold sitting in the background behind the reels – which is a good way to help you keep your eyes on the prize!

So, what prizes are in store at this Mayan themed slot machine? Well, this game doesn't offer an especially large top jackpot. In fact, the most that a spinner can win is a 500x line bet multiplier, which makes for a grand jackpot of 500 coins since the maximum bet per line available is limited at 1 coin.

However, the pay out values of this slot machine decrease in nice gradual increments. So, even if you don't get that top prize, you could still be in for some decent dosh. For example, the “Mayan Marvels” logo icon will reward 500x the value of the line bet when five appear in a row, while the next most valuable symbol is the red gem stone which will pay out up to 450x the line bet. Five green stones are worth 400x, five yellows are worth 350x and five blues are worth 300x.

Even the most basic game symbols have the potential to pay out a tidy sum. Five A icons, for example, will reward a line bet multiplier of 200x while five K or Q symbols makes for 150x. The game's least lucrative icons are the J and 10, both of which only offer a 100x line bet multiplier.

One symbol worth keeping an eye out for is the golden mask. This wild symbol is indeed a master of disguise because it will effectively act as all ordinary paying symbols to complete wins. Plus, the icon tends to appear in stacks of three on a reel, making it even more rewarding when it does appear.

This slot machine may take its theme from an ancient culture, but it is designed to be played on the most modern of technology. That is because Nektan software specialises in creating games that are tailored for mobile devices. This means that you will have to get your thumbs in on the action by tapping the relevant options at the side of the reels to determine your wagers and to arrange for consecutive “Auto Spins”.

Mayan Marvels is also available to play online with a good old fashion desktop computer screen but you will have to use your mouse control to scroll through the wagering options and menu screens.

There isn't much in the way of bonus action in Mayan Marvels. However, spinners are treated to 30 free games if they happen to find three or more scattered “Spins” symbols. There's nothing more to it than that – no multipliers, no gimmicks, no nonsense. Just a big pile of freebies to help players boost their betting balances.

Mayan Marvels offers some ancient spins to players who are living in the twenty-first century thanks to mobile software integration. The interface is easy to navigate and the spins are smooth and simple. It isn't the most vibrant of slots in the world, despite its exotic setting, and there is a dearth of big bonus features. However, if you just want some straightforward spins while you are out and about then you can't go wrong with this Mayan style Nektan slot machine.
