With their 2018 title Ark of Mystery, Quickspin invites you to join Anna, an archaeologist and adventurer, in her quest to reveal the long lost Ancient Egypt riches. The game is a typical Quickspin affair with crisp graphics and an engaging music score that creates a bit dramatic atmosphere. As for bonus features, the 5-reel, 20-payline slot benefits from the Wild Ark Respin feature and the Multiplier Booster feature that can boost your payouts by up to 22x. A maximum possible win stands at 6,509x your total stake.
The 5-reel, 3-row reel set is set within a pyramid flanked on both sides by two tall pillars. Once in, just pick a bet value ranging between $0.20 and $100 per spin. Push the Spin button to set the reels in motion or activate up to 1,000 automatic spins, sit back, relax and enjoy the game. To win a prize, you need to match at least two or three symbols in succession on a payline.
The reels are home to Anna who is the top paying icon awarding 50x your total bet. Other high-value symbols include the eye of Ra, scarab beetle and Ankh key. The rest of positions are filled with playing card symbol. The Ark represents Wild that appears on the three central reels only.
Whenever Ark Wild hits the reels, it remains in its position and awards a respin during which it replicates to an open adjacent position on the same reel. This way, you can win between 2 and 6 respins with up to 6 Ark Wilds covering the central reels entirely.
The game also offers the Multiplier Booster symbol which appears on the reel 5 exclusively to trigger the bonus feature of the same name. Whenever the special symbol lands, it increases the multiplier by 1. The multiplier can increase up to 22x. Frankly, we haven’t seen much of the Multiplier Booster symbols while playing the game.
Ark of Mystery is a fun and simple game to play. Actually, Ark Wild hits the reels quite frequently providing you with additional chances of winning while completing your winning combinations. However, the Multiplier Booster feature is key to big wins and unfortunately, we haven’t experienced it. This is a medium volatility offering from Quickspin with a solid RTP of 96.53%. If you get lucky to see Multiplier Booster on the reel 5, you can expect some hefty prizes going up to 6,509x your wager.
