A delightful ancient Mayan game that mixes classic spins with modern video slot play.
We didn’t expect to put this Quickspin Mayana slot review as 5 stars when we first announced it.
We knew it would be special, but we didn’t realise just how much fun we’d have with this Quickspin slot machine.
The reasons for our doubt is that there’s actually not a lot to it; just re-spins, sticky wins, and multipliers.
What we hadn’t accounted for is that the high energy of the reel expansions and free re-spins would have us hooked within a few short spins.
The first spin you take is on a set of 3×3 reels. When you get a win, the two reels on either side will uncover two symbols, and extra multipliers.
Think of it as a slot striptease where the climax is unlocking a 5×3 reel with 243 ways to win.
But why is that so exciting, when 243 ways to win slots are everywhere? From the iconic Thunderstruck II, to Quickspin’s own , you shouldn’t have to work to get a 243 paylines.
The thing is, you don’t have to work for it, because the Mayana slot reels slowly reveal more paylines by giving you free re-spins.
If you look at how much the symbols are worth in the paytable, you’ll see it’s not as much as you would like.
But you are not considering that on every win, those symbols stay sticky and you get a free re-spin, where those symbols pay out the next time. And the next time if you find more wins.
Add that once you’ve uncovered all 5 reels in this Mayana mobile slot, you can get a random multiplier on your last spin of up to 20x your win… and you can see why we had such a good time.
In total you can win up to 13,254 times your bet. Which is huge.
But what we really enjoyed was that for a high variance slot, with big payoffs, our balance was pretty steady because of all those free-respins giving you enough 10x to 20x your bet wins.
It’s still a dangerous machine, don’t get us wrong. But far less dangerous than the likes of Reel Rush by NetEnt or Valley of the Gods by Yggdrasil which work on similar mechanics.
We suspect, that as Mayana online slot is a Quickspin game, it may get forgotten along the way once it’s no longer ‘new’, but we hope enough people play it to realise what a wonderfully fun and engaging mobile video slot this is.

Re-spin on a Win, Multipliers, Grid Expansions: 3 or more symbols creating a win triggers the one, and only, feature of this Mayana Android and iPhone slot.
You then keep getting re-spins for as long as you get wins, and all wins have a minimum of 3x multiplier applied to them.
Mucho Mayana Slot Feature: If you are lucky, on the final spin of your free re-spin above, if you've unlocked the whole board, you'll get the words 'Mucho Mayana' spread across the screen.
Then, watch as you get a final multiplier on your wins ranging from 4x to 20x.
The Mayana slot on mobile feels like it fits perfectly in the smaller screen with it's bright and colourful graphics and sounds.
Though some may say that it looks a little like the Firestorm slot by the same provider, we'd argue that the mechanics are different enough to make each machine feel unique.
Plus, no where else in the Quickspin portfolio will get wins like these, as the build up of free re-spins and multipliers brings a joyful glee even to the most cold hearted of gamblers.
You don't always win big, but when you do, it feels like pure unlimited Mayan gold.
However, if you fancy a less risky slot, but like the idea of winning re-spins, Sevens High slot is equally good - though obviously without as big a top win.
