Gaming1 games
All three games below have an RTP of around 96%. Two of them use a compact 3×3 grid with 5 lines, while Machu Pacha uses diamond-shaped reels.
| Game | RTP | Volatility | Grid and lines | Bet | Jackpot |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Machu Pacha | 96.01% | high | 3-4-5-4-3, 36 lines | €0.10–25 | no |
| Dice of Mystery | 96.00% | not specified | 3×3, 5 lines | €0.25–25 | progressive |
| Mayan Legacy Gridders Jackpot | 96.00% | medium | 3×3, 5 lines | €0.25–100 | yes |
Machu Pacha is a fiery volcano-themed slot on five diamond-shaped reels with 36 lines. Four features can trigger in the base game: a reel extender, a wild storm, a lava blast and a bonus symbol nudge. The bonus awards up to 16 free spins on six reels: wilds lock in place, and each new wild increases the multipliers of those already on the reels. Collect 10 wilds on the two central reels and the free spins reset, keeping all multipliers. Volatility is high.
Dice of Mystery is an Egyptian-style dice game. Wild dice replace all others, including bonus dice, and sometimes a whole column of three wilds lands, which the player can place wherever they like. The Treasure Wheel awards points or credits, from 1 to 30 Mystery games, or the progressive jackpot. A wheel segment can be declined, in which case it is replaced with the Book of Mystery. And the Cashback Book feature can trigger in losing rounds and award a few Mystery games.
Mayan Legacy Gridders Jackpot is a Gridders series game about Mayan treasure. The golden condor can appear at any moment to trigger Flight of the Condor, a lottery feature with big multipliers. It also leads to the Chama Bonus, a temple lottery where the jackpot can be won. The bonus can be bought directly, and Round Boosters increase the chances of triggering features. Volatility is medium.
Other games from the studio include Fakir Diceslot, Lightning God, Never Ending Mystery, Fortune Spinner, Rapid Rush, Tiko Spicy Chef and Undercover Joker.
