Slot Features
Golden Mayan Mask is the Wild that can substitute for all the symbols in the game except for the Scatter. It can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, and if there is a chance to form a win once it hits the reels, the Wild will expand to cover the entire reel.
Free Spins
Scattered Temple symbol can appear on all reels, and you need at least 3 of them to trigger the Free Spins feature. Before the round is triggered, you will receive Scatter wins payouts. Regardless of the number of triggering symbols, the awarded number of spins is 12, and the Free Spins round is multilevel progressive one. Additional 3 or more Scatters will retrigger the round awarding another 12-spin set.
During the round, when a Wild hits it will add more spins to the count and increase a level by 1. When 2 Wilds hit, you will get additional 3 spins and increase the levels by 2. When 3 Wilds hit they will add 5 spins and increase the level by 3. There are 6 levels in total and each level comes with an added bonus.
Level 2 will make each Chalice symbol on the reels turn into a Dagger symbol at the end of the round. Level 3 turns all Daggers into Ring symbols at the end of the round, level 4 turns all Rings into Totem symbols. Level 5 will turn all Totems into Chief symbols, and when you reach level 6 you will have all Chief symbols turn into John symbols at the rounds end.
Summary
John Hunter and the Mayan Gods joins the company of two fairly recent releases of the same series, and we’re moving from Aztec Treasure hunt and Book of Tut adventure to raiding of the treasures hidden by Mayan Gods. Unfortunately, there is not much innovation here as we’d like to see, but it still has some enjoyable moments here and there.
It’s highly volatile which means you will have to hold your horses while you wait for those wins and bonus rounds to trigger, but once you crack in, you will get the feel of more fast-paced action. Win potential is sorely low and it caps at x2500 your bet, which isn’t much to get us excited about it, however, if you are a fan of the series, give it a shot, and see how you feel about it.
