Mayan Magic Wildfire invites you to the lungs of our planet, the Amazon rainforest. Mysterious shamans, lush gems and magic Wilds keeps this feature machine going.
Few civilizations can captivate our imagination quite like the Maya. We have little information left of them. Things written down by colonizers and large temples they’ve left behind.
And until recently, one aspect of Mayan civilization laid just as dead as the rest of it. That is, before NoLimit City tampered with it and brought it back to life! Mayan Magic Wildfire lives once more, and its flames can only be tamed by the luckiest players!
Mayan Magic Wildfire Slot Review
This slot is played on a five reel board, with 10 fixed paylines which pay both ways. The background is one of the most stunning this developer has ever produced! There’s just something so relaxing about watching the waterfall. The only way we could see this whole scene improved is if the foliage on either side of the reels was animated. We won’t hold it against them here. It can count as homework for the team’s next game instead!
All symbol designs are completely unique. Low value icons include a few differently colored gemstones. Some are just sitting about as they are. Others are locked inside of beautiful gold decorations. High value symbols include a snake, a tiger, and several Mayan priests. They control the flow of magic coursing through this release. Mayan Magic Wildfire Gameplay Don’t dismiss their powers just because you’re skeptical. Their otherworldly powers are needed to trigger the numerous bonuses this slot offers! It has two special features which are activated randomly. Mystery Wild, which transforms another icon into a Wild. And Mystery Sync, which makes the middle three reels display the same symbols. Last, but not least is the Mayan Wilds bonus, which serves as the almost but not quite free spins special feature.
How to Play Mayan Magic Wildfire
You play Mayan Magic Wildfire on a 5×3 board with 10 fixed paylines. Wins are awarded by collect three or more identical icons in adjacent positions. These paylines grant pays both left to right and right to left! This increases your chance of winning the 1264x jackpot. Not the best top prize we’ve seen come out of a game. But perfect respectable for this release’s medium variance.
Bonus Features
In terms of special features, this release has three. Of those three, only one really feels like it’s worth being called a bonus. The other two just serve as filler to spice things up. As such, we’ll discuss them first!
Mystery Wild:
This bonus has a chance to randomly trigger with each spin. Whatever symbol appears in the center of the board will be transformed into a Wild. On top of that, any other identical icons on the playing field when this special feature activates will also turn Wild.
Mystery Sync:
Another randomly activated bonus. When triggered, it will synchronize the second, third and fourth reels. It means these three reels will always display the same combination of symbols, increasing your chances of winning.
Mayan Wilds:
When a Wild lands on reels two, three or four, it awards a single re-spin. The Wild becomes sticky, and will remain for the next re-spin. However, if another Wild lands on the following re-spin, you get another re-spin! Every third re-spin increases the multiplier by one.
We’ll be honest, we didn’t expect to enjoy this slot as much as we did. The special features feel like they’ve been bolted together, rather than planned to work with one another. But thanks to its medium variance and pretty graphics, Mayan Magic Wildfire pulls through! It’s a game that has a little something for everyone.
If you’re in the market for a casual, relaxing release, then this slot has our full-hearted recommendation!
