Egypt Gods Slot Machine

The ancient Gods of Egypt were a strange mix of human bodies with animal heads, but while these hybrid creatures might not be worshipped any more, online casino players seem to still revere them, as slot machines based on their realm are hugely popular. Game developer Evoplay Entertainment have their own take on these legends, with their Egypt Gods video slot which takes you deep into an ancient tomb where beautifully-designed symbols unlock the secrets to generous payouts and a special free spins bonus game.

Set over 5 reels, each of which contains 3 symbols, players win a prize anytime enough examples of the same symbol type stop across any of the 9 paylines, in a continuous run from the left side. While lower value symbols will need to be on 3 reels, just 2 of a high value kind are needed to form a winning combination, so gamblers should see a reliable stream of wins coming in.

Those players who like to test a game out before playing for real will find free Egypt Gods video slots are available, but the minimum stake is only 0.09 per spin anyway, so should be within the reach of all but the tiniest of budgets.

Meeting The Egypt Gods

Evoplay Entertainment have a reputation for developing online slot machines filled with highly detailed images and this one is only going to enhance it, as we see a richly-decorated tomb surrounding the reels. It’s filled with hieroglyphs, flaming torches, carved columns and to either side, a couple of statues made from black stone stand guard. While some players like to keep the volume turned down, anyone wanting the full Egyptian experience can turn on the speakers and hear a suitable jingle accompanying the sound of the spinning reels. It’s highly effective and the rich design extends to the symbols just as nicely.

In rising order of value, those symbols start with the 10, J and Q high card icons, each of which is valued at 5x the line bet when landing on reels 1, 2 and 3, while 4 in a line will be worth 25x and anyone who completely fills a payline with matching symbols will be paid 100x. The K and A are both worth 5x, 40x or 150x for the same combinations, and the various Gods return even bigger winnings.

These deities only have to land on a payline across reels 1 and 2 from the left side and while our knowledge of which God is which is somewhat limited, the cat-like creature, Bastet, and the eagle, Ra, will each pay out 5x, 30x, 150x and 750x the line bet when stopping on 2, 3, 4 or 5 reels of a line respectively. Wolf-headed Anubis returns 5x, 40x, 400x and 2000x, but it’s the job of the Eye of Horus to pay the top coin wins in this game. Landing the Eye across 2 reels will be worth 2x the line bet, while a full line will be worth a massive 5000x.

Scatter Bonus Awards And Free Spins

The pyramids of Giza loom over the desert sands in a special scatter symbol that can pay out awards of up to 200x when it stops in any places on the reels. It’s also wild, meaning it’s able to act as any other to complete winlines, and as if that’s not enough, it will trigger a free spins bonus round any time 3 or more appear.

10 extra games will play out, but before they begin, 1 symbol will be randomly selected to become an expanding symbol throughout them. Any time it lands, it will stretch over the whole reel, which makes it easier for it to complete winning lines, so with luck, a high-value icon will be chosen, and players can cash out some big wins before the 10 spins are done.

Top of The Pyramid, Or Buried For Good?

There must be hundreds of Egyptian-themed slot machines out there, so it’s difficult for a developer to bring out a game that’s got something genuinely new to offer. The Egypt Gods video slot has an excellent design in its favour, with the sharp graphics and detailed images that Evoplay Entertainment like to use across much of their range, although we would have liked to have seen a mobile-optimised version.

This is the only real downside that we found, as playing this slot on a desktop PC reveals it to be a game with a high return to player percentage, some decent awards, especially when the Gods favour us and land on reels 1 and 2 for a small payout, and a bonus game that has an even higher ratio of spins to wins.
