The captivating beauty of the African savannah has fascinated humanity since time immemorial. This breathtaking landscape, teeming with recognizable wildlife, has been the backdrop for numerous casino pokie machines. However, the serene setting of the savannah also conceals danger, as the thundering approach of colossal beasts can catch you off guard.Mayana
is a high volatility Mayan jungle pokie from Quickspin, built on an expanding reel grid that starts at 3×3 with 27 ways to win and grows through a chain of respins to 5×3 with 243 ways to win. Released on 10 October 2017, it carries a confirmed RTP of 96.63% and a max win of 13,254x your stake — all without a traditional free spins round in sight. The entire game is driven by one mechanic: land a winning combination, keep the symbols sticky, and watch the reels expand.
Mayana is a reel-expansion slot — a genre that was still unusual in 2017 when Quickspin released it, and remains relatively rare today. The game begins on a compact 3×3 grid with 27 ways to win. Every winning combination keeps the winning symbols locked in place and awards a free respin on an expanded reel set, progressively uncovering new rows until the full 5×3 grid opens at 243 ways to win. The biggest wins come from stringing together three consecutive winning respins and then triggering the Mucha Mayana multiplier on the final spin.
Rows
There are no free spins, no scatter triggers, no bonus pick screens, and no wild symbols in the traditional sense. What you get instead is one elegantly designed mechanic that rewards patience and the kind of session where nothing happens for 30 spins — and then everything happens at once.
Bonus Features
Separate from the Mucha Mayana bonus, the game applies a stacking multiplier to each progressive respin. Respin 2 carries a 2x multiplier on any win; Respin 3 carries a 3x multiplier before Mucha Mayana applies. These multipliers are consistent and predictable — every two-respin chain applies a 2x to the second win, every three-respin chain applies 3x to the third.
About Quickspin
Desktop-only at Black Spins, which limits where you can play it.
The Mucha Mayana multiplier triggers randomly on the final respin — you can complete three winning respins and still not get it. That randomness can feel deflating after grinding to a full grid expansion.
The game is now nearly a decade old. Visually it holds up reasonably well, but players used to 2024–2026 production values may find it showing its age.
