Maya’s Treasure Slot Review

Ready to go on an adventure through the lush jungle? The Maya’s Treasure slot by Expanse Studios was just launched exclusively on Meridianbet and we can say that it’s the real deal. Thanks to breath-taking graphics and amazing audio-visual effects paired with adventurous gameplay, the slot machine may end up one of the best in the Maltese studio’s portfolio.

In this slot, you will join Maya the adventurer on the search for a major treasure in ancient ruins that resemble the mythical city of El Dorado. The Maya’s Treasure online slot has 5 reels with 3 symbols in each as well as 20 active pay lines. You form wins traditionally by matching at least three symbols on adjacent reels.

A cool slot that resembles Gonzo’s Quest and other adventure-themed slot games, Expanse Studio truly hit the jackpot with this one.

Maya’s Treasure Theme

As mentioned, Maya’s Treasure is an adventure-themed slot. These games have been popular in the industry for quite a long time and players are still excited by them. That’s no wonder – adventures in ancient ruins with chests of gold to hit are among everyone’s biggest desires.

This time, you won’t be heading into the dense jungle on your own. You will join Maya the archaeologist who’s just as eager to find the hidden treasure in the Mayan jungle herself.

How to Win in the Maya’s Treasure Slot

Winning in the Maya’s Treasure slot machine is not hard at all. The game makes use of the so-called Tumbling Reels technique which replaces winning symbols on the reels as soon as you score. To win, you’ll need at least three on adjacent reels.

The reels themselves are populated by columns that feature shiny gems or Mayan symbols. Maya herself is the game’s wild that substitutes for all other symbols except for the scatter. The latter triggers the game’s free spins round and comes in the form of a decorated column with a green gem embedded in the middle.

In terms of high-paying symbols, the column reliefs with faces pay the most. You can earn up to 2,500 coins for five on a line. The base game also comes with two special features attached to it. The first one is the torrent multiplier which starts at x1 and rises with each successful Tumbling Reels win. It starts with x1, rises to x2 on the second, x3 on the third, and x10 on the fourth tumble and beyond.

If you manage to land three scatters anywhere on the reels, you will get 15 exciting free spins.

Maya’s Treasure Slot Bonus Round and Special Features

The free spins round is made even more exciting thanks to the x30, x40, and x50 multipliers splashed on the reels. During this round, every time you land three scatters, each of the multipliers goes up by x3 until the end of the free games round.

If you land four, the multiplier rises by x4. When you land the maximum of five scatters, all multipliers go up by x5. At the same time, three scatters on the reels during the free spins round also give you five more free spins.

If you get truly lucky during this round, multipliers can reach up to x100 and bring you one step closer to the top reward worth 2,500 times your stake.

Maya’s Treasure Slot Machine RTP and Max Payout

The Maya’s Treasure slot comes with an RTP of 95.09%. That’s a bit lower than the industry average, but thanks to the multipliers, that’s not too much of a problem.

Expanse Studios is still to determine the slot’s volatility. From what we could notice during our playthrough, it’s between medium and high variance.

Graphics & Sounds

We’re already used to seeing perfect Expanse Studios slots and Maya’s Treasure is no exception. The game looks great with crisp-clear graphics, especially when it comes to Maya on the left side. The animated 3D model is reminiscent of Lara Croft’s best days, so when it comes to graphics, the Maya’s Treasure slot gets a perfect 10.

The visuals are paired with excellent sound effects too and a nice tiki-sounding soundtrack in the background.

Maya’s Treasure Online Slot Verdict

Maya’s Treasure is yet another home run for Expanse Studio. The small developer is constantly breaking new ground with every new release, and this slot is the perfect example of it.

It looks and feels great and the gameplay is fun too. Don’t let the low RTP fool you – it’s still a great slot with plenty to offer.

You can try Maya’s Treasure’s tumbling reels for real money at Meridianbet online casino and join the adventure yourself. Trust us – it’s going to be worth it.

The Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) launched a new awareness campaign to draw attention to the gambling stop. With the campaign “Pick up your life again, take a gambling stop,” KSA is aiming to increase attention to the risks of gambling and make the Cruks register more well-known.

Insights

The campaign is a follow-up to the pilot campaign from 2023. This pilot yielded many valuable insights, for example that more people are attracted to the word gambling stop. This name is therefore used in the new campaign.

Positive effect

The campaign focuses primarily on young adults who (possibly) no longer have their gambling under control. That is one of the reasons why the campaign is largely running via social media instead of traditional (mass) media. The focus is on the positive effect that a gambling stop has on the life of a person with gambling problems. The powerful moments of young people who pick up their lives again can be seen in online videos, social ads and social posts (Google, YouTube, Meta and Snapchat).

The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) announced record-breaking results from its fourth annual European Safer Gambling Week, held 18-24 November. The initiative – which included a social media campaign and events programme – demonstrated the broader European sector’s strengthening commitment to safer gambling through new levels of participation and expanded geographic reach.

The campaign saw record engagement with 195 partners actively participating – a 20% increase from 2023. Eight national gambling authorities participated, more than double the previous year, by either joining the social media campaign or speaking at the various events.

The campaign’s reach also expanded significantly to 26 countries – a 30% increase from 2023 – with partners in Croatia, Serbia, Slovakia and Ukraine joining for the first time, reflecting the growing pan-European dimension of the campaign. This was helped by social media graphics being made available in the local languages of 27 countries.

The social media campaign reached 3.1 million users across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X platforms, generating 1169 social media posts – a 67% increase from the previous year.

A cornerstone of this year’s campaign was its comprehensive events programme, featuring 20 specialised events – an 11% increase from 2023. The events attracted record participation with 4500 registrations and 3000 attendees. Key discussions explored trends in AI, problem gambling prevalence reporting and innovations in safer gambling tools and messaging. The events featured 105 speakers, including senior representatives from gambling authorities in Belgium, Denmark, France and the UK.

The initiative builds on EGBA members’ year-round commitment to safer gambling, which in 2023 resulted in 67 million safety messages sent to their European customers. This dedicated week amplifies these ongoing efforts while encouraging greater collaboration between operators, regulators and harm prevention organisations.

“The success of this year’s edition reflects the sector’s deepening commitment to player protection. The significant increase in participation, especially from health organisations and regulatory authorities, demonstrates the common purpose and growing unity in our approach to safer gambling. Through this collaboration, we’ve reached a record number of Europeans with crucial safety messages during the campaign. Together, we’re making gambling safer and we already look forward to building on this success in next year’s edition,” said Maarten Haijer, Secretary General of EGBA.
