Amaya Gaming’s Moon Temple is an online slot with an esoteric feel, and is presumably based on the Temple of the Moon site in Peru. It is uncertain where the name comes from, but most agree that its probably derived from the way in which the moonlight shines into the cave at night.
The game features an out of the ordinary 6 reels and 80 fixed paylines.
The Moon Temple consists mainly of a large cave, and dates back approximately 1500 years. In the centre of the cave, a throne has been constructed out of stone. Historians agree that the cave was probably utilised to perform pagan religious rites, as well as being the last resting place of Peruvian mummies. The Moon Temple was only discovered by modern man in 1936.

Moon Temple features two wild symbols; the priestess and the Black Panther. The priestess acts as the wild symbol during normal play, and the Black Panther appears on the reels during the Free Spins Bonus Game.
The Temple scatter symbol will not appear during the Moon Spins Free Spins Bonus Round. Free spins can therefore not be re-activated.
Different reelsets are used for the base game and the bonus game.
Moon Temple does not include a progressive jackpot, and can be played for free or real money like Skrill pokies.
Free Spins Bonus Game
Landing 3 or more of the Temple scatter symbols anywhere on the reels during normal base play, will activate the Moon Spins Free Spins Bonus Game.
The Moon Temple Moon Spins Free Spins Bonus Game consists of 2 phases.
Phase 1, also known as the Collection Game, kicks off with an initial reward of 8 free spins. During the first phase, a number of +1 symbols may or may not appear on the reels. The ideal is that they do, as these symbols are collected and carried forward into the second phase.
All combination wins are scored as per their winning values during the free spins bonus game.
Phase 2 consists of 1 free spin for each +1 symbol collected during Phase 1. Both the priestess and the Black Panther wild appear on the reels during Phase 2. The wilds fall in stacked motion, creating numerous opportunities for more frequent wins.
