Ancient Script Slot Machine

The layout of a game is a major piece of the puzzle when it comes to how your experience is going to unfold. In this particular case, the layout has 10 paylines that stretch from left-to-right only across five reels with three rows of symbols. 

This Egyptian-themed game is available to play on desktop, tablet and mobile devices and comes with expanding symbols that can fill entire reels as well as a free spins feature.

Red Tiger’s Ancient Script slot game takes place in Ancient Egypt at the site of a mighty Pharaoh’s temple. The background to the reels is suitably regal.

The reels include lower value playing cards alongside an ankh (cross), a staff like object, the Eye of Horus hieroglyph and a pyramid. The latter is the most lucrative symbol. 

The Tutankhamun style gold burial mask is the wild and the scatter – as well as replacing all other symbols, it also triggers the Free Spins feature when you land 3 of them on the same spin. The number of free spins is random but normally between 8 and 12.

You’ll notice a plinth located to the right of the reels, over which floats a magical looking crystal ball. This can transform into a random symbol on any winning free spin. Each winning symbol is expanded so that it fills the whole reel.

Most of the expanding symbols that you see in games these days are wilds. However, this title does something a bit different. Whenever you hit a winning combination, you'll get a chance for the symbols of that combination to randomly expand to cover the entire reel. This gives you several extra opportunities to get wins that you wouldn't have picked up otherwise. Since this will cause the combination to play out on all 10 reels instead of just the one, you can view it as a random chance at a 10x multiplier on your payouts. We can't say that this is a feature we can remember seeing much of in the past.

Visually, the Ancient Script demo game looks bright, neat and stunning. You can tell by the symbols designed by Red Tiger Gaming that it revolves around artefacts from the past and important characters like Tutankhamun, the king of Egypt during his reign.
