Theme – Audio & Design Features – head to the ancient city of Khem

The Word of Thoth slot has an ancient Egyptian theme and is based in the ancient city of Khem which is known as Letopolis. Thoth is one of the lesser-known Egyptian gods. With the body of a human and the head of an ibis, this ancient deity was associated with writing, magic, wisdom and the moon.

Deserts and pyramids are usually staple elements when it comes the design of ancient Egyptian-themed slots. Word of Thoth looks and sounds very different and creates a much darker atmosphere.

A dark, misty chamber in a palace in the ancient city of Khem is the setting for Word of Thoth. Flanked by statues of Thoth, symbols appear on blocks of stone. You’ll see A to 9 royals alongside a star, Eye of Horus, ankh cross and a golden amulet. The most rewarding symbol is Thoth which pays 25 x your total stake if you land 6 on adjacent reels.

There’s also a wild that can land on all 6 reels and substitute for all the standard symbols. Rounding out the symbols is an emerald-green scatter symbol which can trigger the game’s main bonus feature.

Flip your mobile into landscape mode and Word of Thoth is perfectly playable. The bright symbols stand out nicely against the dark setting and everything clear and easy to see. You’ll find the same features as in the desktop version.

Word of Thoth Bonus Features

With 2 bonus features, the main extra in Word of Thoth is a free spins round where getting on a run of successful cascades can bring multipliers into play which can really get the cashier moving.

Cascading Symbols feature

A Cascading Symbols feature is in play in this game. After a winning combination lands, those successful symbols are blasted off the grid and new ones drop down to replace them. A new payout consideration follows. If a winning combination is created, the process is created and another cascade follows. Cascades continue until no new winner is created.

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature can be triggered in 2 different ways. Land 3 or more scatter symbols on the same spin or land 5 or more winning cascades in a row and you’ll receive 10 free spins. Extra free spins are awarded for additional scatters on the triggering spin or for each extra cascade on top of the minimum 5. You can keep tabs on how many cascade wins in a row that have hit in the meter in the top left-hand corner of the screen.

Getting on a run of winning cascades and illuminating the meter can bring multipliers and more free spins into the mix once the feature begins:

• 3/5 on the Meter = 1 extra free spin and increases multiplier by 3x
• 4/5 on the Meter = 2 extra free spins and increases multiplier by 5x
• 5/5 on the Meter = 5 extra free spins and increases the multiplier by 10x

Multipliers can keep on rising throughout the feature. The Meter resets following a winless cascade but the multipliers can only grow. In the unlikely event that you don’t win anything from the free spins, you’ll carry on spinning until you do.

In some territories, there’s an option to buy your way into the free spins. This will set you back a fee of 80 x your total stake. You’ll get 10 free spins for that investment.

Word of Thoth Review Summary – a decent trip to ancient Egypt

The appetite for all things Egyptian remains undimmed. The Word of Thoth slot takes the classic theme but at least delivers something different both as far as design and gameplay are concerned.

The bigger wins obviously coming in the Free Spins feature where cascades can increase the multiplier with no limits. The key is to get 4 or 5 successive cascades in order to boost the multiplier by 5 or 10. If you’re one of the countless slot fans who like the ancient theme, Word of Thoth is one to investigate.

Alternatively, Rich Wilde and the Amulet of Dead (Play ‘n GO) features the Thoth deity. My personal favourite slot using this theme is Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter (also by Play ‘n GO) which comes with 10,000 x stake wins per spin.
