Mayan Princess
The wombat says: Who were the Mayans then? Well Wombat fans, get comfortable and we’ll fill you in. Basically, the Mayan people really really liked gold. Their Empire reached the peak of its power and influence around the sixth century A.D and was spread from Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and into the western part of Honduras and El Salvador. They were an advanced civilisation a bit like the Romans and excelled at agriculture, pottery, hieroglyphics, calendars and mathematical equations, as well as their architecture including great stone cities and temples full of gold and treasures! So now you know.
Travel back in time with Microgaming (the people behind the Lion’s Pride slot) to meet the beautiful princess who presides over this slot, and see if you can’t uncover some riches of your own.
Game Play
Mayan Princess is a 5 reel slot with 3 rows and 20 paylines. The ancient reels are set in between some kind of stone temple, and behind them peeking out there’s a jungle covered Mayan-style pyramid, but don’t expect to see an Untamed Bengal Tiger– wrong continent.
The exotic symbols on your reels include a Mayan sun god icon, a colourful tropical bird, some bejewelled sweetcorn (we have no idea why), a leopard having a nice lie down, some spicy-looking chillies, an alligator, a ferocious Mayan warrior and a carving of a red parrot. The Mayan Princess logo symbol is the Wild in the slot, and this helpful little icon will substitute for all other symbols on the reels to give you extra chances at landing winning combos.
Scatter and Free Spins Bonus
The impressive Pyramid symbols are your scatters in Mayan Princess slot, and if you land 2x or more of them simultaneously on reels 1 and 5 then you’ll set off the Free Spins round. Here, you’ll be given a random number of spins (somewhere between 10 and 20), plus all your winnings during the Free Spin feature will be doubled. Oh, and the really good news? This Bonus round can be re-triggered an unlimited amount of times too, which can lead to some big wins especially if you land the full 20 Free Spins. Excellent!
Mayan Princess on Mobile
Like to spin on the hop? This wombat does, but unfortunately mobile phones weren’t around in Mayan times, so there is no mobile version available (yet). Come on Microgaming!
We are hoping to see a mobile version soon- most of the top Microgaming slots have been adapted for smaller screens (so we have a mobile Tomb Raider and a Mobile Mermaids Millions, for example). Mayan Princess is still waiting for the magic treatment.
Conclusion
Mayan Princess isn’t a bad little slot. OK, it’s not as feature heavy as some of the more recent games but it remains very popular with slot fans so Microgaming must be doing something right – we think it’s the x2 multiplier in the Free Spins. If you manage to get the full 20 goes paying out double, then the bonus can be very rewarding. We also love the chirpy background tunes. We would love to see a mobile version of the game though. Pretty please (with sugar on top)… Enjoy.
