Unearth Egyptian Fortunes with Pragmatic Play
By Shane Addinall Apr 25, 2019 Game ReleaseJoin Pragmatic Play in the land of ancient gods, buried kings and hidden wealth with Egyptian Fortunes. Experience an immersive soundtrack, smooth gameplay, interesting new Energy Spins and special symbol Free Spins on the reels.Even though there are enough Egypt-inspired slots available online to fill a Pharaohs tomb Pragmatic Play have managed to weave together a fantastic new addition to the genre. Egyptian Fortunes is an entertaining 5 reel slot machine that brings something new to the table with its Energy Spins feature.
Crisp Classic Egyptian Design
Pragmatic Play’s design audio-visual teams have done an amazing job of creating a slot that immediately immerses you in not only the theme of the slot, but also the magic of playing at a slot machine.
The soundtrack to Egyptian Fortunes hits every note that we’ve been trained by Hollywood to associate with the region. Taking a moment to listen to the enjoyable backing track will undoubtedly bring to mind a film you love in the Egyptian-adventure genre. This is a great touch as there is no resistance to stepping into that world. However they’ve kept many of the really classic reel spin and win sounds as well. This combination makes for an engaging escapist experience.
The visual design is as classically slot focused as it is on the Egyptian theme. The setting for the temple is a pillared temple lit only by burning sconces which highlight a few well-designed hieroglyphs. The pillars darkens towards the top of the screen keeping your attention fixed on the reels.
The symbols are large, filling the screen and comprise both the Pharaoh and a pantheon of Egyptian deities. The high value symbol is a golden Pharaoh worth up to 50x your bet, and offers +3 Energy Spins. The remaining value symbols comprise statues of Hathor, Bastet, Horus and Anubis. The lower tier symbols are thematically updated versions of the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 10 playing card emblems. In an interesting balancing act Pragmatic Play have made the lower-value symbols produce higher numbers of Energy Spins than their top tier counterparts.
The reels also feature two headed snake Wild symbol, and a sun crested pyramid Bonus symbol which will be the one to look out for when trying to trigger the Free Spins feature!
Fresh New Free Spins Features
Egyptian Fortunes is a medium to high volatility slot with a solid 96.5% RTP. The game offers you the chance to stake €0.20-€100.00 per spin, with a maximum jackpot of €30,900 up for grabs.
As can be expected base game spins will not account for the highest wins on this slot. However to tide you over while you wait to unlock the big Free Spins feature you will trigger Energy Spins!
✓ Energy Spins Feature
Based on the number and type of symbols you land in winning combinations on the reels you will be awarded from 3-5 Energy Spins. These spins will charge a meter that appears on the top left of the reels. These are essentially free games which play out immediately but on the base game reels and come with no additional Wilds or win multipliers. Additional free games can be won during Energy Spins rounds by landing the correct sequence on the reels.
✓ Free Spin Feature
When you get given free games just for hitting winning combinations on the reel then you know Pragmatic Play have something impressive in store for their actual Free Spins feature!
The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing 3 Bonus symbols on the 20 fixed paylines, specifically reels 1, 3 and 5. You are the treated to a scene of an ancient pyramid being built, and inside special symbol selection screen awaits. In this screen a single line reel spins and 3 Special Symbols are selected at random.
These 3 Special Symbols, and the Wild symbol which will only appear on reel 4, will be the only symbols to appear on the reels during your 6 free games.
Needs More Fortune
Egyptian Fortunes is a truly enjoyable slot for lovers of the Egyptian theme and of medium-volatility slots play. The audio-visual experience is engaging and deeply immersive, with the slot playing as well on your mobile device as it does on your desktop computer or laptop. The games only shortcoming is that it lacks a mega jackpot to make its tendency towards high volatility worth the wait.
