Slot Details

Mayan Eagle NOBLEWAYS is a cascading video slot with six reels, five rows and 15,625 ways to win. Pays are awarded for two to six matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right only. Available on desktop or mobile, you can bet from 0.20 to 20 credits per spin. The game has high volatility with an RTP of 96.32%.

Loading the game will take you into the typical jungle village that was home to the Mayan people. Temples, buildings and waterfalls are a testament to their craftsmanship that mesmerizes people until today. The game window is held in a solid stone frame with tribal carvings while Mayan masks, artefacts and temples dominate on the reels.

The pay symbols include the card royals from 9 through to A at the low end, awarding 1x to 1.5x your bet for a single six of a kind. They are followed by four Mayan masks in green, blue, red and gold colours. Hit six across the reels to win 2x to 50x your stake. A Mayan temple marked with the word itself is the wild symbol, appearing on reels two to five only and performing the usual substitution duties. A golden artefact acts as the mystery symbol while the four characters of the word Maya are the scatters.

Mayan Eagle Nobleways Slot Features

In case you are wondering whether this is a Megaways slot, the answer is a maybe. Microgaming previously added to its Quickfire platform a handful of slots from Zero Fox Entertainment that are more or less clones of the Megaways reel mechanic. Majestic Dragons Epic Ways is one of those examples. Whether Microgaming has been involved has not been officially confirmed to this day. Their partner studio All41 Studios went for a more official route and trademarked the name NOBLEWAYS in February 2020.

Which brings us to this creation which is the debut of their reel mechanic. It has a fixed 6×5 format with 15,625 ways to win and Rolling Reels, Microgaming’s trademarked mechanic for cascading symbols. As a result, you will be playing at all times on the maximum ways with every winning combo being removed to allow for new symbols to roll into the empty spaces. The process is repeated as long as new winners land after an avalanche. All wins are accumulated and paid once a spin sequence concludes.

Mystery symbols are part of your reel journey to Mesoamerica. They can land in the base game and free spins, revealing a common regular pay symbol once the dust has settled.

The main event will be triggered when you land four scatters spelling M-A-Y-A anywhere on the reels within one spin sequence. An initial 12 free spins are awarded with every further scatter landing on the same spin adding +2 free spins to the tally. Retriggers are unlimited by landing the same scatter combinations. During the feature, the progressive multiplier will start at x2 and increase by x1 for every winning cascade, no limits.

Final Verdict

Not sure if Mayan Eagle Nobleways is just a precursory trial before All41 Studios or Microgaming will be adding dynamic reels to the mechanic. As it is now, there is nothing that we have not seen before and to apply for a trademark just for a fixed-ways type seems somewhat over the top. Well, time will tell.

As for the entertainment value, Mayan Eagle Nobleways delivers solid slotting action with a win potential worthy of the Mayan gods, clocking in at 13,000 times your bet. It might feel though somewhat thin on features at times, especially when you grind through the base game waiting for the feature trigger.
