Renowned software provider Leap Gaming launched their Egyptian-themed online slot titled Secrets of the Nile in January 2020. The game is done in premium visuals, with swift animations and an Oriental audio, all supported with features that could yield prizes of up to 500x the stake. Players benefit from Random and Shifting Wilds, as well as a Free Spins Feature.
An ancient temple houses the 5-reel, 3-row layout with 20 paylines on offer. Payouts are issued for 3 or more icons of the same type appearing on a winline, on adjacent left-to-right positions. Once the game loads, you can open Bet Settings to stake between 1 and 10 coins per spin. The coin denomination spans from $0.01 to $1.00 and adjusting it will place total bet values between $0.20 and $200.00. Click Spin to play or initiate Autoplay for the reels to whirl automatically. If you want to place the highest possible bet, tap the MaxBet button.
Prizes of 20 and 30 coins are awarded when 5 matching low-value symbols appear. These include Ankh, Crook and Flail, Scarab and Eye of Horus. The upper part of the Paytable houses Anubis, Bastet, Horus and two Royalty members granting between 50 and 200 coins for 5 of a kind. Tutankhamen stands for Scatter landing on three central reels to initiate Free Spins. There are three Wilds in play, all able to substitute other icons in wins, excluding Scatter and Collect symbols. When 3, 4 or 5 Wilds hit, they issue payouts of 120, 250 and 500 coins.
The before mentioned Wilds do wonders for the base game. One of the Wilds lands only on the 1st reel, the second hits the final reel, while the third Wild is generated when the previous two meet. When Wild lands on the initial reel it starts shifting to the rightmost position with each spin, thus creating chances for wins. The second Wild does the same thing, only it travels from the 5th reel to the leftmost position. When these two collide, they merge and cause a random number of Wilds to get distributed across the gameboard. As for the Free Spins Feature, you are to obtain 3 or more Scatters to receive 10 freebies. Last, but not least, Collect symbols hit the 5th reel and are collected throughout play. Obtain 30 gems to receive a cash prize of 10x or 20x the stake.
The RTP of 95.45% is coupled with high volatility, but the gameplay is fairly rewarding and Free Spins aren’t that hard to trigger. Pick a device you most enjoy playing on and try Secrets of the Nile, as it delivers an entertaining gameplay that offers chances to scoop some truly hefty prizes.
