BONUSES AND FEATURES
- Tumble Feature: The tumble mechanic is used when playing this game. Upon landing winning clusters, pays are awarded and immediately after, the winning symbols disappear from the grid. The remaining symbols tumble down and the vacant positions at the top are filled by new symbols. This in turn necessitates the evaluations of new winning clusters hence the possibility of getting consecutive wins.
- Multiplier Symbols: The Gates of Xibalba has four multiplier symbols. These symbols are represented by different coloured spherical artefacts and can land on any position on the grid. Whenever these symbols land on the grid, they take a random multiplier value ranging from 2x to 100x. At the end of every tumble sequence, the values of all multiplier symbols that may have landed on the grid are added and applied to the overall win (payout).
- Free Spins Feature: Four or more scatters that land simultaneously on the grid help players win and activate this feature. Four, five or six scatters trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively. This round has a progressive feature and as such, it levels up at certain intervals. For each level, there is a predetermined multiplier starting value (applied to all multiplier symbols). All multiplier symbols that land during the feature are collected in a meter. Collected multiplier symbols determine the interval at which the feature levels up. Five additional free spins are awarded when an extra three scatters land simultaneously during the feature.
- Ante Bet: At the start of every game round, players can choose the bet multiplier they want. Going for the 20x bet multiplier will see the game play out normally while the 25x bet multiplier guarantees more scatters on the grid hence the possibility of triggering the free spins round.
- Buy Free Spins: Players who opt for the 20x bet multiplier (ante bet) can purchase the free spins round and hence get immediate access to start playing the feature. Players can choose to purchase any level of the free spins round.
