Keepers of the Secret Slot

Graphics, Sound, and Symbols Keepers of the Secret

The game art of Keepers of the Secret looks like a million bucks. Plus, the audio track complements the Mayan theme. Once you read this review, you can play the slots for free or real from $0.20 to $50.

The symbols on the reels depict Mayan symbols such as face masks and totems. Let’s not forget about the jaguar, it played a pivotal role in Mayan culture.

The Amazon jungle serves as the backdrop for the reels. The top symbols are the Mayan symbols, and the low-value ones are the card suites.

The Wild substitutes symbols during winning combinations. It also serves as a sticky wild during the free spins feature.

Features & Gameplay

Jaguar Feature

The magic happens when you initiate the Jaguar bonus. It replaces symbols adjacent to it by shooting them three times. It’s a visual treat with a few streaks of its own.

The multiplier’s value increases and it replaces symbols with a Multiplier Wild. Also, the Wild symbols become sticky in the free spins increasing wins.

Free Spins

To initiate 12 free spins 3 scatters must populate the grid first. We must also point out that triggering the free spins feature is not easy.

During the testing phase, it took us 270 spins to trigger it. The upside to that is that we played with a bunch of sticky wilds in the free spins.

Buy Option Free Spins

If you don’t have the patience to wait for three scatters to land, you can buy your free spins. However, they don’t come cheap since they cost 100x the stake.

If you play for $5 bets it costs $500 for 12 free spins. We tested the feature buy option a few times and the payouts we got were not always good.

What We Like About Keepers of the Secret

It’s not only a great slot to play but a great game to look at as well. The graphics, audio, and animations pull you right into it. Furthermore, the sticky wilds in the free spins make it pop.

Tips & Strategy

Since it’s a high-variance slot machine we went to town with it. In other words, we played it for a maximum of $50 per spin. We were lucky to catch a few big wins of 50x and 80x our stake early on.

Had we played it for cash we would have cashed out our money immediately. Or, you can play the slot for 20 cents at your own pace.

Payouts are quite good at that betting range. As slots experts, we kindly invite you to check out 5 gambling strategies every gambler should know.

How to Win Money Keepers of Secrets

We’re fans of testing the slots we like in demo mode. That helps us to craft a proper betting strategy and to gauge the average payouts in the base game.

If payouts in the main game are good, we’ll know if it’s worth it to “slug” out the free spins. With Keepers of Secrets, it’s the case since the payouts we got in the base game were good.

Moreover, we encourage you to increase your average stake when you play slots as volatile as this. Play for short sessions because you can lose money if you play too long.

Verdict: Keepers of Secrets Slots

With $500K as the top cash prize beware a Jaguar is prowling the reels! The volatility is nuts, and trying to trigger the free spins feature is a monster.

The first and only time we triggered the bonus games took us 285 spins. Luckily we played the slot with free credits. If our stake was $4 it would have cost us $1,140 to trigger the bonus.

Well, roughly at least. The sticky wilds in the free spins are a bonus but, they pitch on any random free spin. At least when they pitch they hang around until the bonus round ends.

The hit frequency of the slot machine is whack as well. At one stage we were getting up to 15 dry spins in a row. When we checked the stats BGaming provided we saw that it was 24.30.

Naturally, we had one of those “aha” moments where things clicked into place and started to make sense.

Here’s the scoop, only play this slot if you want to win money. Otherwise, take a wide berth, and play less volatile games like Merlin’s Spheres of Fortune Hold & Win. The slot offers plenty of Free Spins with a Hold & Win feature.
