Mayan Gold Free Spins

The featured bonus option is a round of 8 free spins which are launched when a combination of 3 to 5 scatters land on the reels. There are extra options during this bonus game, when three or more scatters land on the reels, a new window will pop up and the gamescreen will change its appearance. Three separate sections represented as mini-slots will appear on the first two reels and they will have 2 reels with 3 fields on each. The third, fourth and fifth reels will turn into long vertical lines with twenty fields. The bonus game features as many as 7 special symbols:

  • The Wild is the basic symbol that performs the same functions as mentioned above
  • The Scatter is depicted by the dollar sign. This symbol can only land on the first two reels. Three or more of these symbols will multiply your total bet by 1–100 and extend this round by 5 more free spins
  • Green Whopper Wild is the additional Wild symbol. It can drop on the fourth and fifth reels. Once it lands on the reels, it will turn all of the symbols on the reel into Wilds
  • Whooper Multiplier is yet another type of a Wild symbol. This symbol can only come up on the third reel. It will turn all of the pictures aligned vertically into Wilds with the multiplier of either 2 or 3
  • Wild x2 and Wild x3 are Wilds that will double or triple your reward. These symbols can only cover the third reel in full, but only when the above-mentioned Whooper Multiplier option kicks in
  • Cash Rose - can come up on the first and second reels. These pictures will turn into identical symbols and contribute to the creation of winning combos. The type of a picture that takes the place of the Cash Rose is selected at random. Once this symbol lands in the field of the reel, it will keep popping up there during each subsequent spin. There is a possibility that all of the fields of the first two reels will get filled with the Cash Rose symbols

The bonus game has one more feature, the multipliers of regular symbols will change during the free spins. The multipliers in the bonus round are as follows:

  • A pyramid. A combination of 3, 4 and 5 of these symbols multiplies your line bet by 2, 10 and 35 times respectively
  • A parrot - 2, 8 and 20
  • A mask, an emerald and a flower - 2, 5 and 10
  • A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 - 2, 4 and 8

So, the size of the multipliers will slightly decrease. Experienced connoisseurs claim that it will get offset by the functions performed by the special symbols. In most cases, the round of free spins will earn you quite substantial payouts.

Mayan Gold Slot Symbols and Multipliers

This online slot themed to treaures features a significant number of special symbols. Four of them are involved in the main game:

  • Small "W" icon that says "Wild" is the basic Wild symbol. This symbol can come up only on the second, third, fourth and fifth reels. It cannot create any winning combos of its own. Its main function is to substitute for regular symbols missing in winning combinations. This symbol can be of two types - a single one or a multi-layered one. It can fill several fields in a row. As a result, you will get more chances to produce the successful combos
  • A dollar sign is the Scatter symbol. This picture creates winning combinations without being tied to any of the paylines. 3, 4 and 5 symbols increase your total bet 1, 10 and 100 times respectively and grant you the access to the round of free spins
  • Dollar Wild - a symbol with the dollar sign and the word "Wild" - is the Wild symbol that can substitute for any picture, including a special one, except for the Whopper Wild symbol
  • A big letter "W" is the Whopper Wild. This is another type of a Wild symbol. This picture only comes up on the third reel. It turns all symbols on the third, fourth and fifth reels into Wilds, except for the Scatter and the Dollar Wild. The sizes of these reels are different from the first two. With the transformation of the pictures the reels will turn into a so-called "Wild sector"

The rest of the symbols form combinations by applying the common rules. You need to collect 3 to 5 identical symbols on an active payline to qualify for a payout. They must land on neighbouring reels without gaps in between. The amount of winnings is calculated by multiplying your line bet by the appropriate factor for a combination:

  • A pyramid - 3, 4 and 5 of these symbols earn you 5, 20 and 100 times your line bet respectively
  • A parrot - 3, 10 and 50
  • A mask and an emerald - 2, 8 and 20
  • A flower - 2, 8 and 15
  • A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 - 2, 4 and 10

The multipliers may not seem that high, however, due to the large number of paylines and special symbols, you can come up with several winning combinations for a single spin. The paytable shows payouts in credits and changes to reflect your line and bet settings.
