Microgaming has dominated the news the past few days and now the leading iGaming firm is back with the release of another new video slot.  This time it’s Microgaming’s Maya U MAX™, a slot developed by the firm’s independent studio GONG Gaming Technologies!

Introducing a brand new U Max feature that could pay up to a whopping 20,000x your stake, and a free spins round that can be triggered an unlimited number of times, this fantastic new slot is tipped to become hugely popular at the online casinos!

Just yesterday, we reported that Microgaming is set to release numerous video slots in June including the hugely anticipated Immortal Romance Mega Moolah, and the software firm has now got the ball rolling by officially releasing Maya U MAX™. Developed by GONG Gaming Technologies, a young development studio that has a supply deal agreement with Microgaming, this video slot is now available at all Microgaming-partnered online casinos.

GONG Gaming Technologies is an iGaming development company which first launched in 2020. The firm collaborated with Microgaming on Pirate’s Quest and Skulls Heap before penning a supply deal with the leading iGaming software provider. Maya U MAX™ is the second exclusive title since that agreement made in April 2021, as it follows the recently launched Inferno Gladiator.

Microgaming’s Maya U MAX™ Features a Brand New Reel Mechanic!

By default, Maya U MAX™ is a 243-ways-win video slot but thanks to an innovative new reel mechanic, you can actually spin the reels with as many as 248,832 pay lines! This is thanks to the debut of U MAX™, a trademarked mechanic that once triggered adds more symbols to the reels. Each of the five reels could have as many as 12 symbols each and as you unlock more symbols it increases the paylines and your potential to win in equal measure. 

That reel mechanic works via ‘Toppers’ above the reels. Each of these contains four random symbols including wilds and scatters, which all come into play once you land a U Max symbol lands on the reels. That symbol acts as a magnet and pulls the four symbols above the reel into its place. Of course, land multiple U Max symbols on the reels and the number of symbols per reels increase significantly. During the base game, the max pay lines possible is 15,552, during the unlimited re-triggerable free spins round, you can unlock the full 248,832 pay lines.

Triggering that free spins round requires the U Max symbols dragging at least five Mayan Mask scatter symbols onto the reels. You will earn a minimum of five free spins with each additional mask giving you an additional free spin.

Aside from those superb features, Maya U MAX™ stands out thanks to fabulous graphics, a popular Mayan theme, and a soundtrack that adds to the atmosphere when playing. All in all, this is an online slot that we feel will go down well at the online casinos. Why not check it out the next time you play at a Microgaming casino?

Microgaming always has an eye on up and coming studios and this agreement has provided GONG Gaming Technologies with a direct route to the online casinos, and more importantly, the players! Judging by the quality shown in the creation of Maya U MAX™, and the fantastic new U MAX™ reel mechanic, it is easy to see why Microgaming offered the firm that chance!
