Game Review
This game combines unique visuals with the classic ancient Egypt theme. The futuristic new age soundtrack is refreshing and amplifies the mystique.
The base game involves maxing out the grid to 5x6 via the PopWins mechanic. This awards 2 free spins with either synced reels or extended win symbols, which are also the modifiers you can choose from when the bonus round triggers. It comes with a progressive win multiplier, mystery symbols, and you can win up to 20,000x your stake.
Game Features
The premium symbols pay between 3 and 4 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and 5-oak wins pay only from left to right while smaller combinations pay both ways. You get scarab wild symbols in the bonus round only, and wilds step in for pay symbols to help complete wins.
The PopWins mechanic replaces each winning symbol with 2 new symbols, expanding the grid. This repeats per new win, and the base game grid can expand to 5x6. When this happens you get 2 free spins, with 1 of the 2 modifiers you also get in the bonus round.
You need 3, 4 or, 5 scatters to land to trigger the Bonus Round, awarding:
- 7 free spins from 3 triggering scatters, with 2,048 starting win ways and up to an x5 starting win multiplier.
- 9 free spins from 4 triggering scatters, with up to 6,250 starting win ways and a starting multiplier up to x6.
- 5 triggering scatters gives you 11 free spins, with up to 15,552 starting ways to win and up to a starting multiplier of x7.
You can choose 1 of 2 modifiers to bring into the bonus round: Synced Reels and Extended Win Symbol. The Synced Reels feature can synchronize adjacent reels to create mega symbols of size 2x2 or 3x3. When the chosen Extended Win Symbol is part of a win, it extends to cover the entire reel. When the PopWins mechanic expands the grid, it resets to the lowest height of any of the reels between spins.
Mystery Symbols are active no matter which modifier you go with, and turn into the same randomly chosen matching symbol. The progressive win multiplier increases by +1 per win, and never resets. If you max out the grid with 8 positions per reel, the multiplier increases by +2 per win after that. This also gives you +2 extra spins, and both modifiers become active.
You can turn on the Ante Bet if you’re willing to pay 50 % more per spin, doubling your bonus round chances. Non-UK players can use the Bonus Buy menu, with 2 options: 1 modifier for 125x the stake, or both from the get-go for 1,000x your stake.
The 200 Spins Game Experience
You get to see a few smaller PopWins here and there, before we purchase the top-tier bonus round close to the 1-minute mark. We got 11 free spins, an x7 starting win multiplier, and 15,552 starting win ways.
Review Summary
The game's visual style is unique, and the pace of the base game has some problems. This should be fixed.
The awkward pause before and after the spin button should be improved. The bonus round comes with plenty of extras, especially if you manage to upgrade via the maxed out grid. The 20,000x potential seems achievable.
| Pros | Cons |
