Slot Features
Now, there is no mention of a Wild or Scatter here, but worry not because the game still has some special features to offer like a Mystery Coin and Free Spins features.
Mystery Coin
There is no lack of these coins throughout the entire game, both base and bonus round. Each time it lands on the reels, a coin will spin and once it stops it will reveal one random symbol, and if there are multiple coins on the reels, they will all stop to reveal one same symbol.
Free Spins
Temple is the Free Spins symbol that can take you to the Free Spins bonus round. You will need 3 Temples to trigger the round and kick it off with 10 spins. A Super Mystery Coin will move about the reels, and it can get activated by an adjacent Mystery Coin which will split it into multiple Mystery Coins which will reveal the same symbol.
Super Mystery Coin is a Mystery Coin symbol that can be anywhere from 2x2 to 5x4 in size. In addition to this, each Extra Spin Temple that lands on the reels during the round will expand the Super Mystery Coin symbol.
Summary
Yucatan's Mystery turns out to be a nice surprise taking into the account the chosen theme. Great graphics and design and interesting and not so stale, seen-it-before features. It is another highly volatile slot in Red Tiger Gaming’s portfolio, but we are somewhat displeased with the low win potential that stops at slightly over x4000 your bet. Overall, great looking slot with nice features but low win potential that we can recommend only if you are not chasing huge win thrills.
A slot from Red Tiger Gaming and based on the Mayan jungle theme. Red Tiger has given this slot a 30 fixed lines, with 5 reels and 4 rows. The slot can be played from as little as 0.10 per spin making it suitable for just about everyone. There are mystery coin symbols that change to a symbol at random, these also appear of course during the feature. They will shift several times and sometimes you just wish they would stop shifting when a suitable symbol appears but they continue to shift.
There is a special free spins feature that comes with this slot and this is done by landing 3 pyramids.
Now what makes this feature special is that you get 10 free spins plus an additional roaming symbol that moves around the reels and can complete combinations. In addition to that if you land any more pyramids during the feature you will get an extra spin for each one and it increases the size of the roaming symbol from a starting size of 2x2 to 3x3 and so on until it is the full size of 5x4 taking up the entire space on the reels for very big wins. It should be said that the way the special roaming symbol works is if the smaller mystery symbols land next to it.
Now then during my first session on this slot I was able to land the 3 pyramid scatters in just over 50 spins, and what was my introductory feature into this unique slot, it was a decent 72x, base game didn’t pay much during the first session as it is really all about the feature. During the feature the roaming coin was activated 4 times but it didn’t increase in size since no extra spin pyramids showed up. During the second feature things went a bit better this time the feature paid over 100x and it was only with 3 spins remaining that the roaming symbol was activated and gave some wins with the top symbol being the lady. On the 2nd last spin the roaming symbol was activated again but the symbols didn’t match up thus no win on that spin.
Played it at a casino offering the 95.75% RTP version and that is the best RTP version available on it I believe and there can be lower ones out there so beware. Always play the highest RTP version for the best experience. Overall I have to say this is an interesting slot unlike most others and worth playing as it has some good potential.
When the coins shift they don’t always shift to something suitable which means you won’t get paid anything or something very small, it is a bit of a tease especially when a good symbol can make a big difference. You sometimes find yourself wishing it would stop shifting and think it has stopped only to shift once again into something useless.
