Mysterious Egypt Slot Review

Mysterious Egypt Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Mysterious Egypt slot comes with 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. To create a winner, you’ll need to land 3 or more lower value royal symbols, or 2 or higher value Egyptian-themed symbols on a payline from left to right, starting from reel 1, to create a winner. The exception is if you land winner made up of the expanding symbol. These don’t have to be adjacent.

You can play this ancient adventure at stakes that range from between 10p and £100 per spin. Use the + and – tabs next to the spin button to adjust. You can set between 10 and 1,000 autospins if required, too.

The Mysterious Egypt RTP is 96.5% which stacks up pretty well compared to most online slots. That’s a better than average figure. Proceed with care though as this is an extremely volatile slot. We’re talking 5 out of 5 when it comes to volatility. The maximum win from a single spin here comes in at 5,533 x your total stake.

Theme – Audio & Design Features – head to ancient Egypt

The design in the Mysterious Egypt slot is lush. With an ancient Egyptian theme, its superbly done, both visually and aurally, it’s superbly well done. Behind the reels you’ll see the River Nile and an assortment of sandy settlements, statues, pyramids.

There’s an Arabian-style soundtrack playing while you spin that really revs up when you play the free spins.  You won’t find many better-looking trips to the land of the ancients than this offering.

The reels are made up of A to J royal symbols, each of which has been embellished with a golden Egyptian hieroglyph. More rewarding are the red and gold emblems featuring the animal gods Horus and Bastet and the pyramid. The most rewarding symbol is the Eye of Ra. Land 2, 3, 4 or 5 of these in combination and you’ll pocket an award equal to 1, 10, 100 or 500 x your total stake.

The Egyptian queen serves a dual role, action as both a wild and a scatter. She can substitute for all other symbols in a winning combination and can also trigger the game’s main feature (which we’ll look at below).

You can take this virtual trip to the land of the Pharaohs on all devices including computers, tablets and smartphones. The superb design is perfectly realized on smaller screens. Combine that with the simple, volatile gameplay and the Mysterious Egypt mobile slot is a very playable one.

Mysterious Egypt Bonus Features

Free spins with expanding symbols are a staple combination in slots with the ancient theme. You’ll find them here too, with a couple of slight amendments. The expanding symbols can appear in the base game as well as the feature. During that feature, you’ll benefit from not one but 2 expanding symbols.

Expanding Mystery Symbols feature

Above the reels, you’ll see a carousel. This spins on each spin to reveal which symbol will be the Mystery Symbol for that spin. If this symbol appears on the reels below and there are enough of them to create a winning combination, they will expand to fill all of their respective reels. This is called the Expanding Mystery Symbols feature.

A payout calculation is then made with the stacked symbols in position. These stacked symbols don’t have to be in traditional paylines to form winners either. For example, stacked Mystery Symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 would result in a winner.

Free Spins feature

Land 3, 4 or 5 of the Egyptian queen on the same spin and you’ll pocket an award of 2, 20 or 200 x your total stake. You’ll also trigger the game’s Free Spins feature and with it, 10 free spins.

Before the feature begins, 2 symbols are chosen at random. Both chosen symbols will be Expanding Mystery Symbols for the duration of the free spins. Just like in the base game, the symbols don’t have to be next to each other to create winning combination.

Land 3 or more Egyptian queen scatter symbols on the same spin delivers a retrigger and another round of 10 free spins. The same Expanding Mystery Symbols will be active during the retriggered free spins. There’s no cap on how many times you can retrigger more free spins.

Your win potential per spin or free spin depends on which symbol becomes the Expanding Mystery Symbol. The higher the value of the symbol, the bigger the possible wins. Here’s what a screen full of each symbol will pay:

Symbol(s)	Max Win
Q, J + 10	100 x stake win
A + K	150 x stake win
Horus + Bastet	750 x stake
Pyramid	2,000 x stake
Eye of Ra	5,000 x stake

In some territories, you’ll have the option to buy the Free Spins feature. This will set you back 100 x your total stake. This isn’t available in the UK though.

Mysterious Egypt Review Summary – another ‘Book of’ clone with a slight difference

In the Mysterious Egypt slot, Pragmatic Play has shown that it’s possible to breathe new life into an overused bonus feature that has seemingly been done to death.

Whilst we have seen special expanding symbols in countless slots like Book of Dead, Mysterious Egypt has them in the base game as well as 2 in the Free Spins feature.

The best game with this mechanic though is Book of Shadows by Nolimit City where you can play with 5 rows and offers max wins of 30,338 x stake per spin.
