Legacy of Inca Slot Overview
Legacy of Inca is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot from Play'n GO with 20 paylines and a jungle-temple theme set around the legendary Coricancha. I quite liked the look of it straight away; colourful animations, lush greenery, and a proper Incan temple in the background. Medium volatility, a default RTP of 96.29%, and a max win of 6,500x your stake. Not a bad starting point.
Honestly, I half expected another 'book of' clone given the name, but Play'n GO went a different direction here. Wilds are the main event rather than expanding symbols, and the Wheel of Gods mechanic adds a nice twist to how free spins are awarded. Bets range from 0.10 up to 100, so it suits most budgets.
Symbols and Paytable
Low payers are your standard J, Q, K, and A, all worth 5x for five of a kind. Mid-tier symbols are a toucan, snake, and jaguar, paying between 10x and 12x for a full line. Then you get three character symbols; a warrior, huntress, and shaman in vibrant headdresses, paying 15x up to 100x for five.
Wilds are where it gets interesting. The amulet Wild substitutes for everything except the Scatter and pays a massive 750x your stake for five on a payline. That is a proper reward for a single symbol. Scatters are pyramid-shaped temples, and they pay out too; 2, 3, 4, or 5 of them give you 1x, 5x, 20x, or 100x your bet on top of triggering free spins at three or more.
Symbol Payouts
Wild

Bonus Features and Free Spins
Land 3 or more Scatters and you trigger the Wheel of Gods, which spins to decide how many free spins you get. Could be as few as 3 or as many as 20. During each free spin, a bar above the reels determines how many random Wilds drop onto reels 2, 3, and 4; anywhere from 1 to 9. Imagine 9 Wilds across those three middle reels. Decent wins are almost guaranteed when that happens.
Get 2 Scatters during the free spins and you unlock Temple Spins, a nested bonus within the bonus. The Wheel of Gods pops up again and awards 3 to 8 extra spins. All the Wilds from your triggering spin carry over, which is a nice touch. You can rack up to 55 total spins between Free Spins and Temple Spins in one session.
Fair warning though; Temple Spins do not really add a new mechanic. They just prolong the bonus with sticky Wilds carried forward. No bonus buy option either, so you are relying on natural triggers. Also, there is no retrigger within Temple Spins themselves; once they run out, you go back to your remaining regular free spins.
Bonus Buy Options
Land 3 or more Scatters to trigger the Wheel of Gods, which awards between 3 and 20 free spins. During each free spin, 1 to 9 Wild symbols are randomly placed on reels 2, 3, and 4.
Landing 2 Scatters during Free Spins triggers Temple Spins. The Wheel of Gods awards 3 to 8 additional spins, and all Wilds from the triggering spin are carried over. Up to 55 total spins possible.
RTP, Volatility, and Max Win
Default RTP sits at 96.29%, which is solid. But Play'n GO releases multiple versions with lower RTPs: 94.27%, 91.28%, 87.29%, and 84.23%. Always worth checking what version your casino is running because the difference is significant. Medium volatility means you get a reasonable balance between hit frequency and payout size.
Max win is 6,500x your stake, which hits at a rate of about 1 in 100 million spins. For a medium-volatility slot, that is actually higher than many high-volatility games manage. Most of your bigger wins will come from stacking those random Wilds in the free spins rather than anything the base game offers.
