Mayan Princess Slots
Mayan Princess is one of the more popular Microgaming slots, but not for the reasons it would have liked to be famous for. The slot has brilliant gameplay, perhaps among the best Microgaming has ever designed. But there’s something that’s just not there – that X factor people keep talking about. It’s, well, missing from this princess’s treasure for sure!
Slot lovers need not bother about that, though. Exotic reptiles, mysterious puzzles, dazzlingly beautiful and brave Amazons and tons of Mayan gold to be won – there’s a lot at stake in the court of Mayan Princess, and you better not let your luck wander!
First Thing’s First – It’s Great To Look At!
Ah, the charms of the old world and forgotten civilizations! Much has been said, written and researched about the ancient Mayan Civilization of Latin America ever since the remnant of Machu Pichu were brought to light. Even more has been speculated about the same, as multiple warnings of global eclipses, tsunamis, world destruction and deadly alien invasions have all been issued, dismissed and chewed with great interest among the general public.
Mayan Princess manages to take all of that essence and package it into such a neatly designed and stunningly animated graphical form that it might as well have been an animated feature film. These brilliant graphics are ably supported by relevant musical score that doesn’t intrude into the gameplay at all – a yardstick of perfection!
This Princess Knows How To Adapt!
While the Mayan Civilization is widely believed to have gone extinct because of their lack of resourcefulness or adaptability, this particular Mayan Princess has surely learnt a thing or two from the past!
The first edition of Mayan Princess was released around 2009. Dancing toe to toe with changing times, the slot has been optimized for smartphones, tablets and smart TVs, meaning that you won’t have to scroll up and down just to be able to see the whole screen area.
In another important development, Microgaming relaunched Mayan Princess on HTML5 codec , discarding the now-obsolete Flash support. This has made it easier to load, play and enjoy the game.
User wise its perhaps no shock considering the historical links to South America that this game is very popular in Spanish online casinos
Symbols That Conjure Magic
Mayan way of life is vastly exotic and utterly unintelligible for us today. But if it would have conformed to the ideas of the scholars and scriptures, it would have definitely looked something like the gameplay of Mayan Princess.
A 4-millennia backward leap lands us into this bizarre world of lurking crocs, volcanoes, sun-calendars, leaping jaguars and feisty pumas. These are all regular symbols of this slot, neatly distributed into 5 reels. There are 20 fixed paylines that are all in readiness to combine with the reels to reveal what the destiny holds for you!
The game has little in way of surprises when it comes to paying off, though. The standard monetary structure of wagers and pay-outs is maintained without much flexibility. You can wager a minimum of 1 cent to a maximum of 20 cents per line, per spin. The upper cap for wagers per spin is set at $100, meaning that the best outcome – without considering bonuses – which you can expect to get out of Princess’s treasure vault is $5,000.
Quite clearly, these low pay out numbers are going to drive high rollers away in search of better prospects, and we certainly don’t blame them.
But that said, it must be put on record that for beginners and rookies, there are few games as entertaining and rewarding as this one!
Wild Is The Night
Strong wild game is the trump card of many Microgaming slots and Mayan Princess is no exception. The heavenly beauty of Princess herself is the wild symbol of this slot, and once she cares enough to appear before you, you can be sure that you are in certain luck.
Five consecutive wilds on ANY reel will also see you scrambling to collect the impressive loot of $5,000!
Helter Scatter – Like Never Before
The scatter play (a Mayan temple) is quite simple here. You can have one or more scatter symbols on terminal (1 and 5) reels. Each of these will unlock a minimum of 10 free spins, with further combinations allowing you a shot at proportionately higher number of free spins.
With frequent double and triple multipliers, it is through free spins that you can hope to make the most of your wagers.
Pretty Princess
With mind-blowing graphics and incredibly entertaining gameplay, Mayan Princess will NEVER have you bored of spinning. Good enough odds of winning are only going to increase the number of hours you spend chasing this royal beauty!
