Xibalba Review

Just when you think the Aztec theme has been exhausted left, right, and centre, Peter & Sons release Xibalba, a striking piece of artwork developed for Yggdrasil’s master platform. Based on the myths and legends of the mysterious and rather spooky Aztec underworld, it’s a high volatility slot with a growing reel set. Your adventure starts on a 5×3 reel with 243 win ways, but when you hit a win, it will expand to a maximum of a 5×6 reel configuration, increasing your ways to win up to 7,776. You have been summoned to the “place of fright”, but will you have the guts to enter? Should you decide to brave it, our slot review below reveals the treasures that await you.

Xibalba Bonus Features

Starting with cascades containing growing falls with respins, Xibalba is full of surprising bonus features. The highlights include unlimited progressive multipliers, special growing wilds, synced reels with Gigantor symbols and a free spins bonus round with increasing persistent multipliers. Retrigges and the buy bonus feature for non-UK players are also part of the complete package.

Cascades with Growing Falls

When you form a win, all winning symbols get removed from the grid, allowing new symbols to fall into gaps for a chance to form a new winning combination. Additionally, you’ll see an extra symbol added to the reels while they expand up to 6 rows high with each successful cascade. Furthermore, you’ll benefit from an unlimited increasing multiplier of 1x that will increase by 1x with each cascade. Although it will reset back to its former shape in the base game.

Wilds

Two types of wilds, a regular wild and a growing wild, can be seen substituting all symbols except scatters across reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. Depicted as Kukulcan, the Mayan serpent gods, they both look pretty similar. Still, if you look closely, you’ll spot a couple of differences. The deal with growing wilds is that whenever they appear as part of a win during cascades, they don’t get removed from the grid but rather all symbols on top of them are transformed into wilds, hence the “growing wild” feature.

Scatters

Detailed as golden Aztec sun gods, scatters slot features can trigger free spins if 3 of the symbols appear in view at the end of the cascade. If you get 2, the Gigantor feature triggers.

Gigantor

Whenever you hit 2 scatters on the 2 middle reels, the reels holding the triggering scatters will sync for a respin and create giant symbols as big as 2×2 up to 3×3.

Free Spins

When triggered, the bonus round awards 15 free spins. All of the above features, cascades with growing falls, regular and special growing wilds and synced reels with Gigantor symbols, are also active during this round. But now you’ll benefit from the progressive multiplier that won’t reset during free spins. Scatters can also appear during the bonus round, and landing 3 of them at the end of a cascade sequence, triggers another 15 free spins again and again.

Xibalba Jackpot

There is no jackpot feature added to the gameplay, but the developer is positive that you can win some impressive payouts of 20,000x your bet instead. Oddly, the developer also says it’s 10,000x, which is still a good win regardless.

RTP and Volatility

Xibalba is a high volatility slot, which is exactly what you’d expect from a high-paying game. The single-mode RTP here is higher than the average and comes in at a nice rate of 96.20%.
