Theme

Nucleus Gaming transports players to Ancient Egypt in this title – languorous flute music sets the scene, and the massive seven-by-six reel setup stands before a serene oasis.

This slot boasts a cascade win structure – all symbols involved in winning combination will detonate, with new symbols falling into their place. This means that all wins have a free built-in re-spin.

Gaming symbols include Pharaoh masks, golden scarabs, the Eye of Horus, and hieroglyphics of ankhs, beards, and leaves.

The Great Pyramid acts as wild, substituting for all other symbols but scatter to help form winning combinations.

This title’s most gaming important symbols, however…

… are the three special symbols: Anubis, Isis, and Ra.

Each leads to its own bonus feature, with possible free spins in the offing as well.

Betting Options and Functions

Rather than via traditional paylines, wins are triggered whenever four or more contiguous symbols are “clustered” together. This approach is spread across 50 bet-lines.

Coin value can be set from 0.02–1.00, with bet level variable from 50–250. This yields an overall per-spin betting range of 1.00– 200.00 times the betting currency.

Autoplay is available for up to 1,000 spins, though players should exercise caution, as there are no win/loss limits available. Turbo speed is also available for those who prefer a faster game tempo.

Player options, payline information, game rules, and more are available via an expanding menu at the lower left corner of the game screen. Information regarding the theoretical return to player ratio is not available, which can be a red flag for experienced players.
