Egyptian Tombs
Egyptian Tombs
The Basics
Swedish games makers developer Snowborn Games and Microgaming have partnered up on 5 games – and I’ve been pretty impressed with their output. But Egyptian Tombs slot promises to be the best so far! The Atlantis Rising slot machine is another example of one of these collaborations (on that one they teamed up with Spin Play games.
You might be thinking, ‘Oh Lord, yet another Ancient Egyptian slot’. But hold your horse my fine fillies, as this one is different.
Instead of the ‘special symbols’ found in the likes of Book Of Dead and Legacy of Egypt, it offers instant cash wins and a pretty generous 10,000x your bet max win.
Hold on to your headdresses…
The Graphics
The slot setting is the Pyramids of Giza at night with the full moon casting light on the ancient city – with the Sphinx at the forefront. To the left side, you’ll see some cash values that I’ll explain later on.
The design in Egyptian Tombs is very good from the HD backdrop to the soothing sounds of the lyres and lutes. These partnerships are getting great results, even better than 8 Golden Skulls of Holy Roger Megaways, which is another joint venture worth checking out.
The Play
Egyptian Tombs slot has 5 reels, 5 rows, and 3,125 ways to win. Quite a few more than the likes of the Green Knight slot with its 20 lines.
You’ll need to match 3x symbols from reel 1 to make a winning combo.
Bets start at 0.20 and go up to a maximum of 24.00 ancient shekels per spin. The max win is 10,000x your stake.
Your pay-table icons are made up of the J, Q, K & A from the playing card deck. While the Ankh, the Cat, Horus, and Cleopatra are the premium symbols
There is a wild in play – the Pyramid Ra Wild – and it only appears in the Super Spins round but more on those below. As for the Scatter? It’s the purple Scarab beetle.
The Bonuses
Ra Scatter Pays
The Ra symbol can also award you instant cash prizes. Hit 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 on the reels, and you will walk away with 2x, 5x, 10x, 100x, 1,000x, or 10,000x your bet respectively.
You will probably have seen this in 9 Pots Of Gold from Gameburger and Microgaming. It’s a feature I like a lot.
Super Spins
This base game feature is triggered at random. It will add several of the 3 high paying symbols onto the reels ( Cleopatra, Horus and Ra) and the Ra symbols will now become wild icons during play. This can really up the size of your wins, and it triggers fairly often.
Egyptian Tombs Free Spins
Hit 3x of the Scarab bonus icons on reels 1, 3 & 5 t you’ll set off the Tomb Bonus feature.
Now, you’ll take a spin of a bonus wheel to discover how many free goes you’ll play with. There are between 8 and 50 on offer, and the round is re-triggerable, which could lead to 100 Free Spins!
The Super Spins will also trigger more frequently in this round.
The Monkey Verdict
Egyptian Tombs slot is a breath of fresh air, dear chums.
Snowborn have mixed a whole load of familiar features together and created a brand new slot visit to Ancient Egypt.
The scatter pays are a favourite of mine, and those 50 re-triggerable Free Spins is what you’ll be hoping to land. But even without them, this slot has enough going for it.
