Bingo Tesoro Maya

Bingo Tesoro Maya Overview

Bingo Tesoro Maya is a video bingo game from Caleta Gaming, released on 10 August 2023. Instead of reels, you play up to four bingo cards at once against a draw of numbered balls, with a Maya pyramid and a jungle clearing as the backdrop. SlotCatalog lists a 96.39% RTP, a maximum win of 1,250x the total bet and stakes from 0.01 to 80.

How a Round Works

Each card is a 3x5 grid of numbers between 1 and 90. You set a bet per card, the game draws a series of balls – the drawn numbers are shown in the rows below the cards – and every number that matches is marked. Prizes are paid for completing patterns on a card, and the pattern table across the top of the screen shows what each one is worth at your current bet. Controls at the bottom let you change the stake, choose NORMAL or INSTANT draw speed and set the number of cards.

The Pattern Table

The prize table scales with the card bet, and our screenshots show it at two stakes. At FUN 6.00 per card (FUN 24.00 for four cards) the twelve patterns pay:

• 30K, 4.5K, 3.3K, 1.8K for the four biggest patterns
• a BONUS pattern that opens the bonus round
• 600, 210, 180, 90, 48, 18 and 12 for the rest

At FUN 0.20 per card the same table reads 1K, 150, 110, 60, BONUS, 20, 7, 6, 3, 1.60, 0.60 and 0.40. Both sets give the same multiples of the card bet: 5,000x, 750x, 550x, 300x, then 100x, 35x, 30x, 15x, 8x, 3x and 2x.

Where the 1,250x Comes From

The pattern table explains the published maximum. The top pattern pays 5,000x the card bet. With four cards in play, the card bet is a quarter of the total stake – so a full top pattern on one card is worth 1,250x the total bet, exactly the maximum win SlotCatalog lists. It is one of the cleaner cases where the headline number can be checked straight from the screen.

What Our Rounds Showed

In one round at FUN 24.00 total, the win panel showed FUN 666.00 – about 27.75x the total bet – with the top-left card alone showing a 600 win, the 100x pattern on a single card. The rest came from smaller patterns on the other cards.

In another round the win panel showed FUN 36.00, made up of two 18.00 patterns on two different cards – the 3x pattern landing twice. A third round ended with no win at all, a reminder that four cards do not guarantee a prize.

Big Patterns and Small Ones

The table is steep. The four largest patterns – 5,000x, 750x, 550x and 300x the card bet – need most of a card to be marked, while the everyday prizes of 2x, 3x and 8x come from much smaller shapes. In practice most rounds either pay one of these small patterns on a card or two, or nothing at all, and the big figures in the top row are what make an occasional round special.

Buying an Extra Ball

When a card is close to a bigger pattern after the main draw, the game offers an extra ball for a price. In our screenshot it asked “Would you like to buy an extra ball?” for FUN 115.68 – almost five times the FUN 24.00 stake – with a tick to accept. Accepting is optional – the round can simply be settled with the prizes already won.

The Bonus Round

Completing the BONUS pattern opens the bonus with a “Welcome to the Bonus” screen. A Maya warrior stands beside a stone prize wheel, and the instruction reads “Spin the wheel to reveal your prize”. The wheel in our screenshot carried values of 150, 300, 450, 600, 750, 900, 1,050, 1,200, 1,500, 3,000, 6,000 and 9,000. Another screen shows golden coins spread across the pyramid steps, where the round reveals its prizes.

Look and Sound

The cards sit on either side of a stepped pyramid, with a priestess in a feathered headdress at the centre and ball markers carved like stone discs. Drawn numbers pop up in a golden medallion under the pyramid. It is a calm, warm-toned presentation that suits the slower pace of bingo.
