Two Mayans Slots
Discover the mysteries of an ancient and exotic civilization with this Novomatic slot game.
Two Mayans isn’t the company’s first take at ancient South American culture. One might have played Aztec Power or Mayan Moons in the past, but this slot is a whole new ballgame. With 5 reels and a total of 25 usable paylines, the players are in for some serious gambling. And the work put into both the visual and musical atmosphere of the game makes it stand out even more.
You’ll come for the high stakes and the sleek realization, but you’ll stay for the bonus games and random Wild symbols. Let’s take a closer look at Two Mayans.
Old Stones And Bright Colours
Visually speaking, the reels occupy nearly the whole screen, with a stone frame carved with Mayans patterns. Within the frame are two Mayan pyramids and a starry night sky. The player is clearly meant to focus on the reels, and there are many good reasons for that. Twelve good reasons to be precise, since that it is the total number of basic symbols on the rotating reels. These symbols all represent the ancient Mayan culture, starting from a re-imagination of simple game card values to mysterious artefacts and art pieces.
The graphics are efficient and quite beautiful. Several gorgeous animations add to the dynamic feeling the game gives off, which will put the players at the edge of their seats. Special mention has also to be given to the music and sound effects: drums, flutes and sounds of stone panels opening, total immersion guaranteed.
Two Mayans has some serious assets in terms of design and atmosphere. And we haven’t talked about the gameplay and the actual betting yet!
High Stakes, High Speed
Having reviewed the paytable, the player is invited to select the number of paylines and the amount of credit to bet on each of them. The lines pay both from left to right starting from the first reel, and from right to left starting from the fifth reel. With 25 paylines available, winning combinations can occur literally anywhere.
The symbols might be made of stone, but once you press the Start button then you better pay close attention because things can happen very fast – even more so if you choose the Autoplay option and simply watch as the Mayan symbols align to predict your next big win whether that is real currency or credits when playing as a free slot.
Good fortune in the symbols
Like any good Mayan-themed story, this slot game is rich in symbols. The first group mimics classic slot symbols, while the most valuable icons were directly inspired by Mayan art and architecture.
At the lower end of the paytable, we find 10s and Jacks, followed by the Queen, and finally the Kind and Ace. All symbols are colourful and feature intricate ancient carvings.
The stakes get higher with the Pottery Slabs displaying the traditional golden Tiger and Eagle, followed by the Jar and Mask icons, the Mayan Calendar, the Pyramid and finally the Two Mayans logo, the most valuable of all symbols. Line up at least 3 of them on any of your active paylines, and be prepared for big wins!
Fulfill The Prophecy
The plot thickens with the last 2 special icons: a Wild card to stack up the odds of winning, and a very promising special Bonus symbol. As per usual, the random Wild card has no value of its own but can replace any other symbol (except the Bonus symbol). It has, however, the particularity of being dropped randomly once the reels have stopped spinning, replacing one or several symbols on the set. The Wild card shoes up with a gorgeous blue flame animation.
Like free spins? Then you might want to keep an eye out for the Bonus symbol! Representing the head of a Mayan statue, sporting two golden earrings, this icon can only appear on the first and fifth reels. The bonus round will only be triggered if two Bonus symbols appear simultaneously. Once engaged, the rules are simple: the number of paylines and the amount of the wager stay fixed, but all wins are doubled! And it will go on until two Bonus symbols show up again. Watch as the eyes of the statues glow bright and take you for a fun ride with high stakes!
Mayans Magic
Two Mayans is a Novomatic game with a lot to show for itself: great graphics and sound effects, immersive and mysterious atmosphere, plus a lot of fun extras.
To top it all, you have the possibility to double your winnings after each spin by correctly guessing the colour of a hidden card. The absence of the classic Scatter symbol might be a drawback for some players, but the game offers a great gambling experience overall.
