THE SYMBOLS
Low value symbols come in the form of playing card royals, with Jack through to Ace. These symbols can offer between x0.1 and x1 the player’s bet, depending on the amount of paying combinations that land on one go.
Egyptian gods Anubis, Apopis and Horus depict the high value symbols, alongside an empty throne. If the right amount of matching combinations land at once, these symbols can offer between x0.2 and x5 the player’s stake.
Pharaoh wilds can also drop into play, substituting for all symbols other than the bonus scatter.
Bonus text scatters are available, triggering seven free spins if three or more land on the same spin.
THE DETAILS
This game uses cascading wins, meaning that symbols in a winning formation will disappear after providing their payout to make way for new symbols and increase the win potential of an already successful spin.
The game also has a win multiplier that starts at x1 and doubles with every consecutive cascading win, resetting inbetween spins.
With these cascading wins, a wild is guaranteed to drop in on the first cascade. This wild will not be removed from the reels in the cascading wins, but can shift to another empty cell before the new symbols drop in.
Wild symbols can appear with diamond embellishments, which are collected in a meter for each respective reel that the gem drops into.
Collecting three gems in one reel will then award between one and three wilds one the next cascading win. At the beginning of the free spins feature, players are awarded six random gems.
During the free spins game mode, the win multiplier will not reset in between spins.
Players can double their chance of landing special symbols by using the bonus boost button to increase each bet size by 25 per cent.
Furthermore, players can buy access to the free spins feature for the price of x100 their stake.
