Mayan Gold Slot
Looking like a land-based AWP this online slot with 100 paylines and an unusual reels matrix, Ainsworth's Mayan Gold video slot has some features which guarantee a fast pace, a fun ride and potentially some big wins.
It's not winning competitions for looks or for historical accuracy, but as slots for fun go, this Mayan themed slot has a classic feel, but also offers something a bit different from your standard 5x3 reels in the form of a Free Spins bonus round.
Ancient Civilization for a Smartphone Generation
First impressions upon loading the screen are somewhat confused by the size of the game that takes up barely a third of the play area. This portrait format is necessary to accommodate the huge number of Expanding Reels that are revealed when you trigger the Free Spins bonus round.
Whilst this game isn't specifically mobile-optimised, because of the format of the screen its more effective to play it on a smartphone/ tablet screen in a compatible web browser. You can play for free or play for real money with no download needed for either option.
Mayan Gold
Promises of Gold With High Limit Payers
The golden steps of a glittering gold temple silhouetted against a bright setting sun create the backdrop to the free Mayan Gold video slot. Along with this is a smattering of icons that we recognise as vaguely Mesoamerican and that's about as close to a theme as we're going to get with this online slot.
The main pull for gamblers to Mayan Gold lies unashamedly in its features, not in its aesthetics or educational value.
High-paying symbols to look out for are a flower, a green gem, a headmask, a parrot and a gold temple. Ainsworth's standard playing cards 9 through A make up the low-paying symbols.
There's also a Wild Symbol, offering standard substitution and dollar sign Scatter Symbols offering generous payouts for 5OAK and triggering Free Spins Bonus Round.
Whopper Wild Symbols For Players
However, what gamblers will be more interested in with this online slot are the Whopper Wild Symbols, indicated by a large capital 'W'. It lands only on Reel 3 in this matrix, which is unusual for a slot with 100 paylines and 2x3 reels followed by 3x4 reels. When you do land the Whopper Wild Symbols they convert the entire 3x4 reel section into one large Wild Symbol.
This naturally increases your chances of making successful win lines and the feature gets even more interesting during the Free Spins Bonus Round.

Free Spins, Expanding Reels, Whopper Wilds and Multipliers
Three or more Scatter Symbols trigger 8 Free Spins which can be increased up to 12 by triggering three dollar signs during the Free Spins.
Free Spins take place on a new set of real cash online slot reels which have been expanded, creating a large and very unusual layout. The first two reels appear in three blocks of 2x3 and spin independently of reels three, four and five which have expanded to reels of 12x3.
We still have the Whopper Wild Symbols during Free Spins, but, three additional symbols appear offering increased payout potential. There's the Green Whopper Wild Symbol appearing only on reels four or five, which converts all symbols on that reel to Green Whopper Wild Symbols. Then there're the Whopper Multipliers appearing on reel three, which convert all 12 symbols to 2x or 3x multipliers.
Finally there's the Cash Rose symbol appearing only on reels one and two which transforms into one of the other symbols (randomly) to increase your potential win lines. Once Cash Rose has appeared on a reel it will continue to appear for the remaining Free Spins.
