Sticking to the theme, the high value icons are Mayan masks, golden pyramids, exotic birds and flowers, jewels, and dollar signs. However, it’s still a well-produced game it just perhaps doesn’t quite stand up to the best 3D animated slots from the likes of iSoftbet or NetEnt. Although the production quality isn’t poor my initial thought was an overdose of gold as even the reels are coloured this way.

There are flames on either side of the temple and the land is gold, barren and cracked. As indicated by the name of the game, the background features the infamous Mayan pyramid made of gold, standing in front of a rising sun surrounded by a dark cloudy sky. Visually, I wasn’t totally blown away by the presentation.

Another popular slot which has done a good job embracing this theme is Aztec’s Treasure. Not only are they one of most celebrated civilizations, but the Aztec theme embraced by Ainsworth in this game is super popular in the world of free and real money slots.

The Maya are probably the best-known of the classical civilizations stemming from Mesoamerica as they are the original developers of astronomy, calendrical systems and hieroglyphic writing. This new online video slot takes us back in time, as early as 2000BC, to an ancient world located in Central America, to a time characterised by cities filled with large stone structures and iconic pyramids dedicated to the gods, towering hundreds of feet tall above the jungle. The Wild Fire Riches game has an incredible free spins feature game and wild system and thus, I have high hopes for this game too! Here’s some good news for all of you Aztec slot fans, remember the incredible Wild Fire Riches game from Ainsworth? Well, it’s been cloned with a brand new theme featuring all the Mayan imagery you know and love.
