Gates of Xibalba

Gates of Xibalba is a Mayan mythology-themed slot from Pragmatic Play that takes players to the depths of the Mayan underworld known as Xibalba, or “place of fright”. The slot features a dark and ominous atmosphere with dramatic visuals, including a godlike figure next to the reels wielding lightning and a giant serpent curling around the grid during the bonus round.

The game is played on a 6×5 grid with a pay anywhere system, meaning winning combinations are formed by landing 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels. The symbols include various Mayan masks and colored shields, with the red mask being the highest paying regular symbol. The scatter symbol, represented by a special mask, can pay up to 100x for 6 of a kind.

One of the key features in Gates of Xibalba is the Multiplier Symbols. These special symbols, appearing as colored balls with multiplier values ranging from 2x to 100x, can land during both the base game and bonus round. When a win occurs, the values of any Multiplier Symbols present are combined and applied to the total payout.

The Free Spins bonus is triggered by landing 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols, awarding 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. During the bonus round, Multiplier Symbols are collected in a meter. As more Multiplier Symbols are collected, the minimum multiplier value increases through various levels, up to a maximum of 50x to 100x at the highest level. Landing 3 or more scatters during the bonus round awards an additional 5 free spins.

In certain jurisdictions, players can utilize a bonus buy feature to purchase access to the Free Spins bonus at different levels for a cost of 100x to 500x the bet amount.
