Coins of Egypt Slot

Graphics

NetEnt plumps for realism over fakery, with the reel case set against a tumultuous purple sky. Statues of Horus and Anubis, powerful Egyptian Gods, guard the temple which houses our three reels and five rows, their eyes gleaming with a promise of power and riches. Dare we enter the temple?

First we have to gain entry via the Free Spins feature, triggered when we land three or more spinning Gyroscope Scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5. Land the first two and the temple begins to shake, at once threatening and promising to open up to us. Meanwhile, a Pharaoh lines up on reel five and, when it lands, it triggers the Pharaoh Coins Win feature.

The Pharaoh sucks in the coin values valued at between 2-15 times our bet displayed on every spin and deposits these wins in our gaming wallets via a showy burst of flame. Our higher-paying base game symbols include various Gods such as Osiris and Bast, while ornate Scarabs bedecked with card suit jewels turn up as our lower-paying symbols, buzzing excitedly above their positions when they form winning combos.

Gameplay

As we hunt for wins across the Coins of Egypt slot’s 20 paylines, we do so with the aid of a diamond and gold Wild Scarab, the beetle of the desert. It appears on every reel and completes winning combos by substituting for all symbols except Scatters.

Any base game wins we land are in addition to any Pharaoh Coins Wins we earn, giving our base gameplay a welcome boost. But, as with many slots, we unearth the real treasure from this adventure by triggering the Free Spins feature. Landing a Gyroscope Scatter on each of reels 1, 3 and 5 launches the game, and delivers a mysteriously hidden number of free spins.

With no set limits, we continue to collect wins as we hunt for the Ruby Eagle, Emerald Snake and Golden Cat Chest Seals. Collecting these Seals adds coin wins onto the respective Chest’s value, and once we collect three matching Seals we open the relevant Chest to win the coins within.

Verdict

Just like Ancient Egypt, NetEnt’s Coins of Egypt slot promises power, mystery and wealth. If we can split the Pharaohs Heads to earn the coins revealed during our regular spins and unearth the Gyroscope Scatters to launch the Free Spins feature, we will head away from this adventure with plenty of treasure to our names.

Featuring expertly delivered gameplay and promising archeological riches of every kind, NetEnt’s Coins of Egypt takes the egyptian-themed slots genre by storm.
