There’s something inherently alluring about ancient Egypt that draws us in like moths to a flame. Maybe it’s the mystery of a once sprawling civilisation that we know almost nothing about! Or it could be that the Egyptians of old just had a fantastic aesthetic that the whole world loves!
Whatever the case might be, Pragmatic Play wisely made use of it for their slot. As such, ancient Egyptian deities and the smiling Cleopatra will guide you on your journey to win a fantastic jackpot!
Of course, those seeking the wealth of Egypt will not be able to stroll in and take it! The gods demand their due, and so players will have to sacrifice their balances over and over again. But once you prove yourself, you will be richly rewarded with the blessings of the deities! This blessing comes in the form of free spins with expanding symbols, which guides you to winning the 5,000x jackpot!
The game is played on a 5-reel, 3-row board with 10 fixed paylines. By adjusting their coin per level and coin value, gamblers are able to change their total bet. You can stake between $0.10 and $50 per spin.
Press the Spin button, shaped like the Pragmatic Play logo, to start playing Ancient Egypt Classic. Alternatively, you can make use of the extensive Autoplay options! Here, you have a whole bunch of settings you can play around with, and find the setup that works best!
Icons are a mixture of playing card royals and symbols that actually suit the theme. The developers tried to fit the letters and numbers by adding minor Egyptian markings to them. However, we think that effort would have been better served in creating new icons instead. Other symbols include the Eye of Horus, the ankh, a statue of Anubis and Cleopatra.
The golden scarab is both Wild and Scatter rolled into one satisfying package. Collect three or more of these to win 10 free spins and a cash prize! Furthermore, collecting three or more Wild/Scatter while extra turns are already being played will start another round of free spins. There’s no limit as to how many times you can retrigger this special feature, so cross your fingers!
Before free spins are played, one icon is randomly chosen to be the expanding symbol. It will pay from any position, including non-adjacent ones. Expansion only occurs if enough icons are present to create a win.
Ancient Egypt Classic has high volatility and an RTP of 96.51%. We quite like the visuals, but we’re mixed on the gameplay. This Pragmatic Play release is just another Book clone, so it should be immediately familiar to veteran players. While it’s not the most innovative slot, the 5,000x jackpot is too juicy to pass up!
