Egyptian Fortunes

There are various online slots out there using the ancient Egyptian theme such as Book of Dead and Coins of Egypt. We even have an article about all our favourite Egyptian Slots. Pragmatic Play have ignored this fact and decided to give us another Egyptian themed number to go along with the plethora of titles we already have to choose from. However, we’re here to take an in-depth look into Egyptian Fortunes online slots to see if there is anything unique Pragmatic Play has to include in a theme we know all too well. So, let’s open the sarcophagus and see what rests inside.

Egyptian Fortunes was released on 5 May 2019, so at the time of writing it is about as new as it comes. This really comes across in the quality of the graphics on display as Pragmatic Play have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at the production value, which only heightens the experience while coins flow out the screen like scarab beetles. You’ll be playing on 5 reels, 3 rows with 20 paylines to help you claim easy winnings. The background to the reels seems to change as wins come and go. You’ll mostly see an underground sequence of tunnels, however whenever a big win comes your way the background turns into a basement full of ancient treasure.

There is quite a high maximum bet that players will be able to wager per spin. This is £100.00, which is quite a bit higher than most titles are setting their max bets at these days. The most that you’ll be able to win is 1000x your bet, meaning that a jackpot of £100,000.00 is up for grabs. This amount will require you to wager £100 in order to win the top amount. All the action is available on mobile devices, including tablets, while desktop users will obviously have their computers to utilise.

Feature Symbols

Online slots can’t survive in 2019 unless some amazing bonus features exist to add some value. In order to access these features certain symbols need to exist, and in Egyptian Fortunes online slot the scatter symbol will be your book of spells to get you into the bonus fun. It’s called the Bonus Symbol and is represented by a pyramid. Another symbol to provide some benefit is the wild. This symbol will substitute all symbols, except the scatter, to create winning paylines. You’ll find this symbol really comes in handy.

The regular symbols begin with playing cards 10, J, Q, K and A, with A being the highest in value if 5 of a kind are landed. From here the symbols start increasing sharply in value starting with a jackal, then a hawk, a winged cat, a bull and a very severe looking pharaoh. The pharaoh is the highest paying regular symbol.

Bonuses and Jackpots

Pragmatic Play have decided to make use of a very straightforward free spins feature. While they haven’t incorporated a feature that sets a record in the number of free spins that you can be awarded, they have made use of a symbol selection feature to help maximise every free spin that falls. To trigger the spins you’ll need to land scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5. Before the feature starts the game will randomly select 3 symbols, along with the wild and scatter, that will be the only reels to fall during the 6 free spins you’ll be awarded.

There is also a feature called Energy Spins that occurs on the reels. Certain winning combinations will see a respin happen immediately after the winning spin. The great thing here is that more Energy Spins can be rewarded from Energy Spins.

Play Egyptian Fortunes Slot at PartyCasino

As far as online slots go Egyptian Fortunes is similar to thousands of online slots titles currently on the market. This could have been ignored had more thought been put into the theme. We can’t help but feel that if the Egyptian theme is used a unique or special aspect needs to be added to the reels, and unfortunately it is lacking in Egyptian Fortunes. Regardless, the game does seem to pay out regularly enough and does have a competent free spins feature. Plus, the Energy Spins serve well to add more winning potential, which is really more important than the theme of the game.
