Yucatan’s Mystery Gameplay

Yucatan’s Mystery slot is set at the bank of a clear lake at a place of worship in the middle of the jungle. You see symbols on the reels such as Mayan masks, stone heads and amulets. The image of the priestess is the highest value symbol awarding you 25 times your stake for five of a kind. There are two symbols that play a key role on this slot. The first one is the gold coin, which functions as the Mystery Symbols. The second is the Pyramid Scatter symbols that can help you to get access to Free Spins mode.

Game Features

Yucatan’s Mystery has limited features and doesn’t even grant you Wild symbols. Instead you need to make the most of the Mystery symbols and Free Spins, which are discussed in more detail below.

Mystery symbol

The icon of the gold coin featuring a priest functions as the Mystery symbol. When it appears, it transforms a randomly selected icon to increase your win chances. The Mystery symbol can expand with the help of the Scatter symbol.

Scatter symbol

The image of the pyramid is the Free Spins Scatter symbol. Not only can it give you access to Free Spins, it can also help you expand the mystery symbol. When the Mystery symbol has expanded to the extend that it covers the entire grid, you are guaranteed a win of 750 times your bet.

Free Spins

Play three pyramid Free Spins Scatters in the same round and you get 10 free spins. Playing additional Scatters in the activating spin doesn’t grant you more free spins, but it does help you expand the Mystery symbol giving you higher chances for shiny winnings.

Verdict

Yucatan’s Mystery slot’s graphics and animations are a pleasure to the eye. As the theme of the ancient civilisations of Central and South America is a popular one, Yucatan’s Mystery slot topic is not original. For the last couple of years, game developers have mainly focused on developing high variance slot rather than catering for smaller players. This slot too has a high volatility and also has a below average RTP. The potential rewards are high, but you have to be willing and able to take the risk. Yucatan’s Mystery is quite limited in features. It lacks the staple slot game feature the Wild symbol, but it makes up for that with the Mystery Coin symbol. The real action lies in Free Spins mode, which, despite the need for just three Scatters in one round, seems quite a challenge to trigger. Once you have activated Free Spins you only get 10 free rounds with no means of reactivation. Yucatan’s Mystery slot might score with fans of high volatility games and/ or lovers of this particular slot game theme. If you neither of these types of players, Yucatan’s Mystery seems a bit of a shiny empty shell: pleasing to the eye at first sight but not much substance.
