Sanctuaryby Big Time Gaming Pty Ltd

After the huge success of the first three announcements with the soundtracks of the famous British band The Cult, Big Time Gaming software provider continued the series with one more hit. Sanctuary video slot is an exciting mix of themes, so although it looks like an Egyptian pyramid it is actually a spaceship and after spinning the reels it will take you to outer space!

The game was released in November 2023, featuring 4096 ways to win in an exciting sci-fi ambiance with well-known Egyptian symbols. The highlights are definitely great special features like Wild reels and free spins with up to 4 video slots - 4096 betways each, and sticky Wilds. 

Let’s check the details!

Theme and Symbols

At the first site we have a video slot inspired by ancient civilizations and their deities but if you look closely the ambiance is not as we are used to. The game is placed in some kind of a cosmic desert where the great pyramids remind of Ancient Egypt. There is also the all-seeing eye at the top of the pyramid and mysterious rays of red light behind pointing to the sky. One of the most famous songs by The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary completes the ambiance, making it even more exciting. 

Pharaoh’s Skull appears as the highest paying symbol that gives payouts for two and more symbols of a kind. Anubis, Scarab Beetle, and Eye of Horus are on the medium paying scale, offering payouts for three and more matching icons. Card royals from A to 9 pay the least. 

Goddess lands as the Wild symbol, while Pyramid plays as the Scatter icon. 

Betting Options and Other Options

Sanctuary video slot plays on six reels and four rows with 4096 ways to win. Two or three and more symbols of a kind create winning combinations landing from left to right along an active betway and only the highest win on each way is paid. 

The bet range goes from 0.10 to 12.00 and all symbol payouts will be multiplied by the chosen bet amount. 

The game offers a high volatility and a RTP of 96.38%. 

Special Features

Wild - Purple and Gold Wilds are full Wild reels (reels 2 to 5). Every purple Wild participating in the winning combinations multiplies all the wins by 8. Wild Goddess also substitutes for all regular paying symbols in order to extend the winning combinations. Those symbols do not appear during the free rounds. 

Free Spins - Three and more Scatter Pyramid symbols landing anywhere on the reels, award 7 free spins. After the feature is triggered, players can choose to Gamble or Collect their free rounds. Those who decide to risk can get up to 4 video slots - each with 4096 ways to win. During the free spins, Ankh can hit the reels 2 to 5. Whenever it lands, a Sticky Wild will be placed on that position in all Free Spins video slots. Four sticky Wilds in a reel will be replaced by a full reel x4 Wild and three additional free rounds are awarded. Wins will be multiplied by 4 for each x4 Wild in a win. 

Win Exchange - Whenever you win 80x the bet or more, you have a chance to exchange 80x the bet for 7 free rounds. On the other hand, whenever you win between 25x and 80x the bet, you have a chance to gamble your winnings for a chance of winning free spins. 

Bonus Buy - For the price of 80x the stake, players can automatically get 7 free spins. 

Conclusion

Sanctuary video slot is definitely an exciting innovation between Egyptian-themed games. Besides familiar symbols from ancient civilizations, we get a cosmic ambiance and an exceptional set of features, especially during the free rounds. Even better, the game is available for all devices, including mobile ones, so spin the reels to visit the sacred place deep in the desert.
