Popiplay unveils Maya Relics slot with 10,200x max win
The jungle-themed title, due for release on 14 October, pairs a 5x5 scatter-pays grid with high volatility and a 96.11% RTP.
Developer Popiplay is set to release Maya Relics, a jungle-themed video slot built around a 5x5 reel grid, on 14 October 2026. The game carries a 96.11% return to player (RTP) rate, meaning that over a very large number of spins the game is designed to pay back that share of stakes wagered, and a maximum win of 10,200 times the bet.
The title places players among misty Maya ruins, with a shaman watching over the reels as symbols including golden rings, sacred masks and ritual daggers fill the grid. According to the review published by iGamingToday, the game is classed as high volatility, meaning wins are expected to land less often but can be larger when they do.
How the game plays
Maya Relics uses a scatter pays system rather than traditional paylines. Wins are formed when enough matching symbols appear anywhere on the grid, rather than along fixed lines. This mechanic has become common in modern slot design because it allows wins to register across the whole reel set.
A refilling feature removes winning symbols after a payout and drops new ones into their place, with the process repeating as long as new wins keep forming. Scatter symbols pay in the base game and can also trigger a free spins round: landing four, five or six scatters awards 10, 20 or 30 free spins respectively.
During free spins, multiplier symbols can appear and are summed together, with Popiplay stating multipliers can reach up to 100x. Players can also pay to trigger the bonus round directly through a Buy Bonus option, or use a Chance Booster feature to improve the odds of triggering it naturally.
Betting range and risk profile
Stakes on Maya Relics run from 0.20 to 24 per spin, a range intended to suit both casual players and higher stakes bettors. The 96.11% RTP sits close to the wider industry average for online slots, which typically falls around 96%.
High-volatility games such as this one are designed to produce long stretches without a win, interspersed with the possibility of larger payouts. A maximum win of 10,200x the stake is a high ceiling for the category, though such outcomes depend on random number generation and are far from guaranteed on any individual session.
Why slot reviews matter for players
Independent reviews of new slot releases give players access to technical details, such as RTP and volatility, before a game reaches casino floors or online lobbies. These figures are set by the game studio and verified through testing, and they offer a more reliable guide to how a game behaves over time than its visual theme or marketing.

Frequently asked questions
What is RTP in an online slot?
RTP, or return to player, is the theoretical percentage of all money wagered on a slot that is paid back to players over a very large number of spins. A 96.11% RTP means the game is designed to return that share long-term, not on any single session.
What does high volatility mean in a slot game?
High volatility describes a slot that tends to pay out less frequently but can produce larger wins when it does. Low-volatility games pay more often but typically in smaller amounts.
Is a 10,200x maximum win likely for most players?
No. A maximum win figure represents the highest possible payout multiplier under the game's rules, but such outcomes are rare and depend on random chance across many spins.
