Astro Maya review: introduction

This mystical Aztec themed slot from World Match evokes a world of magic, alien technology and ancient civilisations. A giant extra-terrestrial skull sits atop the paytable, followed by a brooch, flying saucer, aeroplane and stone tablet. These symbols are particularly valuable.

A series of engraved stone playing card symbols don’t pay as highly. Scatter symbols award wins from any position and also reward fortunate players with free spins. Astro Maya offers 10 free spins along with a special multiplier!

The bonus game is the undisputed highlight. Land enough flying saucers and you will have the opportunity to pick between a series of treasure chests, each offering a different prize. Astro Maya dispenses with traditional paylines and includes 243 winways instead, which is more than enough to keep you going!

Astro Maya and other World Match slots can be found in demo mode here at Slots Temple.

Theme, graphics & design

Mayan kingdoms inspire a special type of mysticism. The mix of advanced technology, deep jungle settings and shrouded histories make them ripe for all kinds of myths and legends. Astro Maya taps into the ‘ancient astronaut’ idea that extraterrestrial life was in contact with early humans, guiding their development.

This is a thrilling premise. Astro Maya’s assortment of strange glyph symbols and peculiar technological artefacts make it hugely intriguing. The background shows the interior of a temple, the walls covered with symbols. Mysterious pipe music echoes through the burial chambers and gives the slot a slightly ominous and even creepy atmosphere.

The symbols deliver the bulk of the narrative. Alien skulls, artefacts and advanced technology mingle with classic Aztec tablets, establishing the concept beyond all doubt. The bonus symbol is an obvious highlight. It shows an alien spaceship hovering over a jungle-wrapped temple, encapsulating everything that Astro Maya is about.

Astro Maya RTP and variance

Astro Maya is low volatility, which will appeal to some players more than others. The slot's RTP is 96.82 per cent.

How to play Astro Maya

Despite its mysterious setting, Astro Maya isn’t too difficult to play:

1. There is only one menu button, which is to the left of the reels. Pressing this shows the paytable. 
2. Scroll down to learn about the bonus features. You will also find some information on the winways in this section.
3. Astro Maya is quite a loud slot; however, you can change sound settings via the cog button.
4. The pile of coins is your gateway to the bet controls. Give it a tap and choose the size of your stake.
5. Autoplay can be found under the spin icon. Players can choose up to 500 spins or opt to make the reels spin uninterrupted until you press stop again.
6. Work out your budget with responsible gambling at the forefront of your thoughts.
7. Tap the spin button to play.

Bet & win sizes

Astro Maya has a slightly higher-than-average minimum bet size of 0.50 and a top stake of 200. Alien skulls pay the most, with five awarding the maximum line win of 10x.

With alien technology and ancient artefacts up for grabs, the paytable is striking. Here is the full paytable for five matching symbols:

• Skull = 10x
• Scatter = 7.50x
• Brooch = 7x
• Artefact, flying machine = 4x
• Stone tablet, ace = 2x
• King, queen = 1x
• Jack, ten = 0.50x

Players will be pleased to hear that Astro Maya has 243 winways - you can’t ask for much more than that!

Astro Maya bonus features

Astro Maya is all about mysterious technology, so you can expect to find some brilliant bonus features lurking in its ageless crypts:

Free spins

The scatter symbol is stunning. It shows a range of colourful iconography with a pair of lurid, glowing blue eyes in the centre. Landing three of these tiles triggers 10 free spins. As a bonus, a 2x multiplier is applied to all winnings. Our only complaint with the free spins is that you can’t trigger more during the round.

Bonus game

This symbol shows a flying saucer hovering above a temple, shining a ghostly light onto the steps. Three of these will launch Astro Maya’s bonus game in which a series of chests appear on the screen, each promising a different prize. Players make their choice and receive their winnings.

Final thoughts

World Match has chosen one of the most intriguing settings possible for Astro Maya. The mix of ancient civilisation and extra-terrestrial intervention evokes an atmosphere of wonder like no other. This slot has a fantastically strange vibe that is sometimes creepy but always magical.

The design of the symbols is highly impressive, especially the bonus and scatter. These tiles are also responsible for Astro Maya’s two best features. Free spins are all the more exciting owing to their 2x multiplier, while the bonus game left us eager for more. Choosing between the different treasure chests makes for some tense decisions!

The base game stands up to scrutiny with 243 winways, and we loved the music. We would have liked to see a smaller minimum bet size, and the chance to retrigger free spins would have made things even more exciting; despite this, Astro Maya remains a haunting game.

Slots Temple also offers the stunning Aztec Bonanza slot, so there is no need to leave the ancient world behind just yet!
