The Anubis Wild Megaways game plays out on 6 reels, 2 to 7 rows and up to 117,649 ways to win. The extra reel and quirky bonus system offer innovation.
Slots with an ancient Egyptian theme are nothing new in the world of modern online slots, so getting noticed means bringing something extra to the table. This Inspired Gaming slot delivers with the help of their company’s Megaways licence, which has been put to good use to bring alive the adventures of Anubis.
The symbols on the reels appear on sandy coloured stone blocks. You’ll see A to 10 royals as well as higher value scarab beetles, Cleopatra and Tutankhamun symbols. The Eye of Ra is the most rewarding. The higher value symbols appear on brightly coloured blocks which makes them nice and clear.
The atmosphere is enhanced by a haunting instrumental backing track which is a good fit for the theme. The game interface isn’t quite as straightforward as some.
The bonus features you’ll find in the base game are pretty standard on Megaway engine games.
The scatter symbol looks like a pyramid, and you need to land at least 3 of these on the same spin to trigger the game’s free spins bonus round. You will get at least 12 spins from 3 scatters, and any extra scatter that lands will give you 2 more spins per scatter. In theory, you could therefore start out with as much as 82 free spins, although this is not very likely.
You also have a Bonus Top Up feature, where you can gamble for more free spins. A bonus wheel will spin, and if it lands on green you win more spins, while red means you lose some spins. Simple as that, and something you might wanna check out if you’re in the mood.
The bonus round makes this game stick out somewhat, as the cascading wins feature is cancelled on your free spins. Any wild symbol that lands will drop to the bottom position, and become sticky for the duration of the feature. When you lock more than one wild on the same reel, they merge together and activate a multiplier equal to the number of wilds on the reel. You can also get extra spins by filling a whole reel with wilds.
