Old Skool Studios and Microgaming teamed up once again to create Ascension Rise to Riches, a five-reel, 20-payline video slot themed after Ancient Egypt. This low volatility game offers a maximum payout of 2,000x the bet per spin. To pocket such a win, punters need to land nine Osiris Scatters on the reels at the same time, thanks to the Epic Strike feature. Apart from Osiris, spinners will also be on a quest for the Free Spins Scatters. Trigger the feature to spin the Wheel and win up to 30 freebies with win multipliers up to 3x. The 2021 release has an RTP of 96.24%.

You do not have to be an expert on the history of Ancient Egypt to be good at playing the Old Skool Studios product. It benefits from five reels, three rows, and 20 fixed paylines. Ascension Rise to Riches pays left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel. Get at least three matching icons on a payline to win a payout. Before you start hitting the Spin button, make sure you set the coins per spin (1-6), and the coin size ($0.01-$1). Betting starts at $0.20, and you cannot wager more than $120 per single spin. In Autoplay, gamers have the option to set up to 100 automatic spins, sit back, and enjoy the show.

Unlike other Egyptian-themed video slots, the 2021 release is not set in some ancient tomb. It seems like the reels are set up in the sky, with fire coming out of both ends of each reel. We have already mentioned the Osiris Scatter and the Free Spins Scatter. Also, players will come across the Scarab Wild that substitutes for all regular icons. Different types of Ankhs represent high-paying symbols. After them come Bastet and Eagle, followed by two stone tiles, one of them depicting the Eye of Ra.

The biggest wins are waiting for you in the Epic Strike feature. Your task will be to land as many Osiris Scatters on the reels at the same time. Osiris Scatters pay anywhere on the reels, and three of a kind is the minimum for landing wins. Spinners may land as many as 9 Osiris Scatters at the same time. If that happens, you will get 2,000x the bet, which is the top payout of the 2021 release.

As for the Free Spins feature, it is triggered when 3 Free Spins Scatters appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 at the same time. Punters receive an award of 1x the bet and go straight to the Free Spins Wheel. Spin the Wheel to determine the number of free spins and the win multiplier to boost your every win during the feature. Get as many as 30 free spins and a win multiplier of up to 3x. If you retrigger the feature, you get the same number of freebies and the same multiplier as in the beginning. The multiplier does not apply to the Osiris Scatter.

Fans of video slots themed after Ancient Egypt will find Ascension Rise to Riches as an interesting video slot. The visuals are excellent, and the soundtrack fits the theme perfectly. Both Osiris Scatters and the Free Spins feature can provide big wins for players. The Old Skool Studios video slot is something you need to try.
