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.

Kutt, the leading social betting platform, announced that it closed the first quarter of 2024 with a successful fundraise of over $1 million and that it has surpassed the 10,000 user mark. The company also commissioned a study of 1000 bettors that clearly defines what social betting is and what users want — further cementing its ownership of the space.
“Betting has been a social activity for thousands of years, so it’s no surprise that consumers want the ability to facilitate and track wagers against their friends. If anything, bettors unquestionably prefer a more curated, social experience — they want to be part of a wider community and to be part of the conversation around sports, entertainment, and important events,” Sim Harmon, CEO and founder of Kutt, said.
While sports betting has boomed across the country since the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) was overturned in 2018, established gambling companies have largely stuck to the tried-and-true format sportsbooks have been using for decades — traditional sports bets against the house. But consumer desire to experience more has increased as the betting industry has matured, with 82% of bettors interested in wagering directly against their friends and other individuals through a decentralized platform, according to Kutt’s recently commissioned survey.
The survey found that, in addition to Kutt’s traditional offerings, an overwhelming majority of bettors (80%) are interested in wagering on non-sporting events, with 77% wanting to bet on entertainment, 62% interested in wagering on politics, and 60% with a desire to bet on life events. Kutt allows users to wager with friends on any event with publicly verifiable results, making it the ultimate “put your money where your mouth is” destination for fans. The survey also shed light on some compelling aspects and trends among current bettors, including:
- A higher percentage of bettors surveyed placed a wager with a friend in the past year (61%) vs. a sportsbook (60%)
- More than half of U.S. bettors (54%) have betting group chats with friends
- A majority of U.S. bettors (60%) text their friends about the progress of a bet while watching a game.
Adding further validity to the findings of the survey and the demand for a real-money social betting experience is Kutt’s recent $1 million+ institutional fundraise, led by Lightning Capital, a firm that invests in digital assets and online communities. The investment will fuel initiatives aimed at growing the Kutt community, enhancing user experiences, and expanding betting markets.
“We look for emerging companies in high-growth industries to invest in. Kutt’s enthusiastic user base, rapidly growing partnership portfolio, and their differentiated product offering were very attractive to us. We are eager to help them continue to define and own the social betting space,” Jock Percy, General Partner at Lightning Capital, said.
Trustly announced a bold pledge to boost growth for businesses across Europe. In a major move to revolutionise the checkout experience for millions of people, the payments tech firm unveils the new Trustly Growth Guarantee.
The market-leading account-to-account provider is offering clients – current and new – a fresh way to pay at the checkout. As part of this, businesses are guaranteed to see an increase in conversion rates, to as high as 98.8%, and a clear reduction in the fees they pay in comparison with traditional payment methods.
Customers will enjoy fewer steps to pay and the added efficiency of return user recognition; Trustly guarantees supercharged success at the checkout. With predictable pricing, costs will be just one amount per transaction – with no variable fees at all. Trustly also states that it is dedicated to providing a seamless integration and will include Success Concierge as standard.
The initiative, revealed only a matter of days after impressive 2023 growth results were announced for the global leader in the industry, reflects Trustly’s unwavering confidence and commitment to continuing to innovate account-to-account payments. Last week, Trustly announced a 79% increase YoY in annual transaction value – reaching $58 billion in total.
Its track record for already attracting major global clients – some examples being Meta, eBay, HMRC, Zalando and Hargreaves Lansdown – signifies that there’s been a distinct change in customer preference and merchants priorities.
Businesses are making attempts to remain innovative and ahead of the curve as millions of consumers increasingly adopt open banking-enabled account-to-account solutions instead of other more standard options when they pay.
Jussi Lindberg, Chief Revenue Officer of Trustly Europe, said: “Our market-leading payment setup embodies Trustly’s mission: to be a growth partner for our clients. We don’t just provide payment solutions; we drive efficiency and value in their businesses. Trustly Azura has delivered remarkable results, and now businesses can experience its benefits. Account-to-account payments are booming, and we’re here to help businesses seize the opportunities it offers.”
If merchants do not see a boost in conversion or a drop in payment costs – at a processing rate of at least 50K transactions each month, for three months, Trustly will reimburse three months’ worth of processing fees. The guarantee is available for both new and existing European customers and is subject to Trustly’s general terms & conditions.
