Mayan Riches Rockways

Mayan Riches Rockways Review

This slot offers an interesting idea with its playing field. It has 6 reels and 6 rows, but the number of active symbols and betways changes with each spin. In the ideal case, it can be as high as 46,656!

The Mayan theme is hardly original, but the visuals are incredibly slick. There are no rough edges anywhere, there are plenty of animations, and the background is pleasant to look at as well. Even the clouds flow nicely in the background, which is a nice touch that allows the game to feel alive at all times.

The volatility of Mayan Riches Rockways is medium and there’s no official info on the jackpot. We can tell you that you can get some huge payouts if you get lucky, however. The hit frequency is 20.10%, which means that there’s a win on the cards every 5 spins or so. The betting range starts at just £0.25, while high rollers can risk up to £50 per game round. Unfortunately, the theoretical RTP of Mayan Riches Rockways is on the lower side of the spectrum, clocking in at just 95.10%.

Mayan Riches Rockways Slot Features

As far as the pay symbols are concerned, there are 9 of them in total and they are split into two neat categories. For low pays, there are animal symbols that even have quite some style, showing spiders, lizards, etc. These symbols can pay up to 0.8x your bet for a full combination. That might look low, but remember – you can get a huge number of betways here! For high pays, there are then colorful masks and ornaments. The top-paying symbols can be worth up to 20x your bet for a combination of 6 matching symbols.

Mayan Riches Rockways also has two special symbols, Wilds and Scatters. Wilds show orange monkey masks and they can substitute for other symbols in winning combinations. They can’t appear on the first reel, however. Scatters show blue beast masks and they can trigger the Free Spins feature.

As you get winning combinations, you trigger the Rockfall feature, which is just another name for Cascades. Winning symbols get removed from the reels and new ones fall down, giving you a new chance to win in the process. The twist here is that you can get more betways this way, while you also progress through the game’s win multipliers. In the base game, these are 1x, 2x, 3x, and 5x.

Land 5 Scatters on the playing field and you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature with 25 free spins. Each additional triggering Scatter adds 5 extra free spins to the tally, but that’s not all. During free spins, there are higher win multipliers available for Rockfalls. These are 3x, 6x, 9x, and 15x.

To round things off, there’s also the Risk’n’Buy feature. It’s quite simple. After a spin, you’ll be offered to buy free spins, either outright for a number of stakes or by risking your current win. That’s intriguing and the offers change dramatically, depending on how your playing field looks at the given time.

Review Summary

Mayan Riches Rockways is an engaging Mayan-themed slot. Its Rockfall feature is nice, as are the free spins offers that appear after each spin. Throw in the good production values and you’ve got yourself a nice little game, though we can’t applaud its theoretical RTP. It’s a good release overall – and we certainly hope that there will be more great games in the future!
