Age of Huracan

Age of Huracan Overview

Kalamba Games are taking us into the depths of the Central American jungles in search of a golden civilisation that was once the envy of the world. Indeed, Kalamba Games have chosen to theme their latest slot around the Mayan civilisation, which flourished in what today is central Mexico from the 14th to the 16th centuries. These colourful and diverse people were known for their subsistence economy, amazing architecture, and love of chocolate.

There are an amazing 6 features in this game, each bringing a new dimension to the game. The first feature is the wild symbol feature which helps create more wins by substituting for other symbols barring the specials. The next feature is the gamble feature, which gives you the chance of doubling your winnings from any spin. Also joining the game is a free spins feature, a K-Cash feature, a hyper bonus, and a cash spins round. Each feature will be explained in more detail later in the review.

Theme and Symbols

As we have mentioned in the introduction, this slot is themed around the Mayan civilisation. However, this free slot focuses explicitly on a central character in Mayan legends – the God U Kʼux Kaj, or Huracan. This God was one of the great creator gods who helped breathe life into humanity. He also was responsible for the elements of wind, fire and storms. Like the Mayans of old, it is your job to appease this God and make sure that he bestows upon you the riches of his followers. Upset Huracan, though, and a mighty flood will wash the world of its sin.

The background for Age of Huracan is a golden Mayan civilisation nestled in the heart of the Central American jungle. To the right and left of the reels, players can see beautifully sculpted Mayan ruins gleaming in the mid-morning sun. The detail from the foliage in the foreground to the great temple-like structures dotted around the screen is exceptional. The effect of the background is that as a player, you genuinely feel transported to this exotic location where a great civilisation once stood.

The board has been designed to emulate its surroundings. As such, it is constructed from the same building blocks as the temples and walls that make up the ruins. Its 3-D texture gives the board real depth and makes this facet of the gaming experience much more realistic.

The symbols for Age of Huracan are divided into low-paying, high-paying and specials symbols. The low-paying symbols are the 9-A in card symbols. On the other hand, the higher-paying symbols are comprised of the daggers, glowing green sword, and the 3 different Mayan characters. However, the most valuable symbol in this game is the great God Huracan himself, who pays 100x your stake for 5 on a pay line. The specials in this game include the wild, the Mayan calendar symbol, the bonus spins symbol, the painting on the wall, and the red and blue orbs, representing the K Cash symbols.

Features

The feature list for this game is a long one, with as many as 6 bonuses to play in this game.
The first feature included in Age of Huracan is the wild bonus. This game's wild symbol can help you score more wins by substituting for other symbols on the board. However, this symbol cannot do so for any special symbols such as the bonus or K-Cash symbols.

The second feature included here is the gamble feature. Every time that you create a winning combination, you have the option of using the gamble feature. This feature gives you the chance of increasing your winnings further by spinning a wheel. If the indicator lands on a green section in the wheel you will double your winnings. However, if you are unsuccessful, you will lose your winnings completely.

Next, we have the free spins feature. To activate this bonus, players must land 3 or more of the bonus scatters on the reels. The more scatters that you land, the more free spins are awarded to you. You can also attain extra spins from within the feature by landing extra scatters.

Another feature available in this game is the K-Cash feature. Throughout the game, you will notice that blue and red K-Cash swirling hurricane symbols will land on the board. Landing either of these fills up the K-Cash meter. Filling the meter gives you a chance at winning instant cash amounts. The red cash symbols also increase a multiplier.

This bonus is related to the cash spins bonus. If you land 3 or more of the K-Cash symbols on the reels simultaneously, you will activate this feature. This will give you 3 free spins with all blue and red K—cash symbols that land locking into place. Each time that a new symbol lands, the number of spins also resets to 3. This is another way to bring in instant cash prizes.
Finally, this game also has a hyper bonus. This means that by paying 42x the bet, you can instantly gain access to the cash spin bonus without triggering it naturally. Think of this feature as a bonus buy add on.

Conclusion

With a huge range of features and an amazingly realistic board and background, Age of Huracan pleases from all angles. The theme of Mayan civilisation is always a fun one, but Kalamba Games have managed to put their own little twist on it incorporating Huracan. The RTP and payout for this game are also attractive. There is a lot to like about this slot.
