Theme – join the ancient Egyptian pharaoh

With an ancient Egypt theme, the sound and visuals in the Tomb of Akhenaten slot are superbly done. The imagery is bright, colourful and packed full of ornate detail. It is based on the Egyptian ruler (Akhenaten) who was the husband of Nefertiti and the father of Tutankhamun.

The game is actually the sequel to the Tomb of Nefertiti slot. There’s a haunting and rather eerie backing track playing while you spin. A mighty thud heralds each expansion of the reels. You’ll find plenty of atmosphere exploring this ancient pyramid.

The reels are flanked by pillars etched with hieroglyphs. On them, you’ll discover A to 10 royals, and higher value Egyptian animal gods. They include Bastest (cat goddess), Thoth (god of writing, magic, wisdom and the moon), Sobek (crocodile god), Anubis (god of the dead) and Horus (falcon god). Horus is the highest paying symbol giving you 0.5, 1 or 5 x stake for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

Tomb of Akhenaten Mobile

The lush visuals described in the previous section are present in the mobile and tablet versions of Tomb of Akhenaten as well as on the bigger screen desktop play. The expanding reels work just fine on a smartphone or tablet too. This is another impressive mobile release from Nolimit City.

Tomb of Akhenaten Bonus Features

You’ll find some unusual extras in this archaeological dig, starting with the Sticky Win Respins that expand the reels. They in turn can deliver pyramid wilds which can turn whole reels wild. There’s also a free spins feature with an expanding multiplier.

Sticky Win Spins feature

The Sticky Win Spins feature is triggered every time you land a winning combination. You’ll receive a respin with 1 extra row added to the game grid. This in turn increases the number of ways to win.

If you land another matching symbol on that respin, that symbol is turned into a wild and another respin is awarded with an extra row. Fully expanded, you’ll have 5 rows and 3,125 ways to win active:

Pyramid Wilds feature

The Pyramid Wilds feature has the potential to become active when the reels have expanded to their maximum size. You’ll see a red pointer spin around pyramids at the top of each of the 5 reels. If the pointer lands on the summit of the pyramid, it turns the whole of the reel below wild. If there’s already a wild in play, it turns into a double wild and counts as 2 symbols.

Akhenaten Spins feature

Landing 3 Akhenaten bonus symbols on the same spin triggers the Akhenaten Spins feature. On offer are 8 free spins (plus 2 extra free spins for each extra bonus symbol that lands on the triggering spin). If you triggered with 5 bonus symbols, you’d begin with 12 free spins for example.

The Sticky Win Spins feature is active during the free spins just like in the base game. They come with a little extra attached too. Each time you land a Sticky Win Spin, the multiplier increases by 1. It doesn’t reset at the end of the respins either, it keeps on rising throughout the feature. Each bonus symbol that lands during the Akhenaten Spins adds 1 extra free spin to your total.

In some territories (but not the UK), you’ll have the opportunity to buy the Akhenaten Free Spins feature. This will set you back 65 or 105 x your stake and in return you’ll receive 8 or 12 free spins respectively.
