Amulet of the Pharaoh is a five-reel video slot game with 30 paylines. It also includes wild symbols, scatter symbols and a bonus game.
On the reels are low-pay symbols featuring traditional playing cards of J, Q, K, and A. Mid-range and high-value symbols are based on Egyptian symbols.
You will find the Pharaoh’s crook and flail, a pot including animal statues of Horus, Anubis, and Bast. The game’s wild is Pharaoh's death mask which is the highest paying symbol of the game.
You will also find scroll and amulet scatter symbols which will trigger two different free spins features.
3 scroll symbols landed in any position on reels 1, 3, and 5 will trigger the free spins feature awarding you 10 free spins.
During the free games round, symbols hook, A, K, Q, and J will be removed from the reels. This leaves only the high pay symbols which will payout nicely when landed. This free spins feature can be retriggered by landing more scroll symbols.
3 amulet symbols landed in any position on reels 1, 3, and 5 will trigger the free spins feature awarding you 10 free spins. At this point, additional Pharaoh symbols are added to the reels. The free spin feature can be retriggered by landing more amulet symbols.
Any win triggered in the game can be gambled for double the payout. You can choose the card gamble which doubles the payout. Here, you get to guess the colour – red or black – of a card. If your guess is correct, your win is doubled.
The Amulet of the Pharaoh slot is nowhere near as brutal on the bankroll as most Merkur games can be, with some frequent and reasonable wins occurring in the base game. Typical of this developer you get no frills either with graphics or sound effects and that goes for animations too.
