Gods of Egyptby Mr Slotty

Egypt is a place of history and mystery. As such, it has captivated the imaginations of explorers, archeologists, historians but also adventurers and treasure hunters.

The igaming industry seems especially enamored with this time period because you can’t swing an ankh without hitting a dozen slots that are themed after various artifacts of this great civilization.

Here’s another Egyptian effort courtesy of the development team at Mr Slotty. It’s all about the gods of the realm so expect Anubis, Ra, and others from the pantheon to grace the reels and bring big wins to punters who are brave enough to enter the pyramids.

Theme

The theme is right there in the name. Egypt and the gods of Egypt. So expect a lot of pyramids, deserts, and almost everything being the color of old stone – yellow.

It definitely paints the right picture and creates the proper atmosphere of mystery and dread. Since it is about gods after all, and Egyptian mythology is all about that underworld.

On the symbols, there are the classic card numbers, trusty slot sidekicks who will follow igaming to the ends of the Earth. For high paying symbols it’s profiles of Gods. We have Bastet, Sobek, Anubis, and Thoth. We want to commend the developer on including lesser-known figures instead of just sticking to Anubis and the mummies.

Capping off the collection of Gods is Osiris in the role of the wild and also the highest paying symbol should you manage to land five of a kind.

Betting Options and Functions

This particular Egyptian adventure takes place on a 5x3 grid with 9 variable paylines. Being a game with a variable number of win lines means the punters can adjust it themselves. It’s possible to bet on just one line if you choose to do so.

Since the paylines are adjustable and the bet is calculated per line there is a whole spectrum of possible total bets which is great for those who want to be able to fine-tune the exact amount they want to stake on each spin.

It goes all the way from just one cent to $22.50 at the maximum bet setting.

Special Features

With so many different games around this theme such as Doom of Egypt, one would think adding some special features might be a way to differentiate this title.

One would think wrong because there’s just extra spins. To activate them three or more scatters (in the form of pyramids, of course) need to appear on the reels and the player is then awarded 12 extra spins.

That’s pretty much it as there aren’t any additional mechanics at play. Anyone’s who’s played a slot game even knows what extra spins are and how they work.

Our Take

Our impression of this game is that it is decidedly middle of the road. It’s not bad by any means and it’s a competent entry in the admittedly overcrowded thematic niche.

But we can’t help but feel more could have been done to differentiate it from the rest of the pack. Maybe graphics with more personality, or a wider selection of features.

In any case, you won’t go wrong playing this offering but it’s nothing special.
