Casinos with Curse of the Mummies in your country
Review
This installment delves into the ancient Egypt theme. It features engaging visuals and a somewhat spooky atmosphere. The number of paylines is 243, and the potential payout is 12,532x.
You can potentially land solid payouts in the base game, with help from the wild or scatter transformation feature. The bonus round is where a solid multiplier can be built from the triggering scatters (and especially from super scatters). The change of scenery is also appreciated.
Features
The premium mummy symbols pay between 3.2 and 8 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the decorated golden scarab Wild substitutes for regular pay symbols. The wild does not hold any value of its own, but it can land on all 5 reels.
The Rise from the Crypt feature can trigger at random times, and this transforms a randomly chosen pay symbol into wilds or scatters. This may help you land a win via the extra wilds, or it may help you trigger the Rise From the Crypt Bonus Round.
The Bonus Round triggers when you land a scatter symbol on all 5 reels at the same time, and this awards 15 free spins. Regular triggering scatters add +1, +2, +3, +4 or +5 to the global win multiplier, while super scatters contribute with +10. The win multiplier is active throughout the bonus round, and you can retrigger the feature with 5 scatters. This awards +5 extra spins, and each scatter adds +1 to +5 to the multiplier.
Finally, non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, may take advantage of the Bonus Buy feature. Simply hit the ‘Buy Bonus’ button, and you get to choose between 4 different options as follows:
- The Standard feature costs 80x your stake, and awards 5 scatters (RTP: 96.14 %).
- Pay 140x your stake to get at least 1 guaranteed super scatter (RTP: 96.07 %).
- Pay 200x your stake to get at least 2 guaranteed super scatters (RTP: 96.02 %).
- Pay 260x your stake to get at least 3 guaranteed super scatters (RTP: 96.10 %).
Experience
Nothing overly exciting happened in the base game, so you can safely skip to around 1:22 where the top-tier bonus round is purchased. There was an x34 starting multiplier from the 5 triggering scatters, and the feature was retriggered, upping the multiplier to x51.
Summary
The ancient Egypt theme may be a conventional choice, but some originality is added by the change of scenery in the bonus round. The base game is mostly a grind, but decent payouts can come from the 243 win ways and the wild transformations.
It’s exciting to see what kind of multiplier you get when the bonus round triggers, but you can also expect plenty of dead free spins once a solid multiplier has been achieved. Retriggering the feature is the only way to increase the multiplier. It’s a decent installment, but ancient Egypt is a tough genre to compete in.
