Join 2 explorers as they scour ancient Egyptian locations for fortunes that could end up in your hands – it’s all possible by playing Eye of the Amulet slot, a title by iSoftBet. This studio hasn’t held back and given us a game with various bonus features as well as a decent sized jackpot that would help you fund your own real life excursion of the Saharan nation. Is Eye of the Amulet the game to bring you the Pyramid sized pay out you seek?
Similar to Book of Dead, this is one of the many Egyptian themed slots and the action all takes place on 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 paylines. This isn’t quite the amount of paylines we are seeing certain studios put out these days but will definitely supply you with enough chances to hook wins. This pay table lies on a very scenic background containing palm trees and a pyramid. There is also a treasure chest to get the win lust going. The graphics that iSoftBet incorporated in Eye of the Amulet are very competent. The game was released in 2017 and it doesn’t really show, although there are games released in 2019 that have graphics that just blow the mind. Mobile optimisation is also quite satisfying, as users won’t find much lag, an annoyance that often gets frustrating.
As mentioned there are 40 paylines that players can take advantage of. You can select the amount of coins you want to wager per line, and as there are 40 paylines and the most you can wager is £5 on each, it brings the max bet a total of £200.00 per spin. Playing at this max bet could bring you a colossal jackpot – the higher you wager the bigger your payouts will be.
Eye of the Amulet is a higher variance game, meaning wins can be harder to come by, but a RTP of 96.51% is there to help minimise your losses if you manage to play a sensible strategy.
Our two avid explorers are two symbols you’ll notice very quickly. There’s the blonde female explorer and the dark complexion male trekker. The blonde is the highest paying regular symbol paying 250 coins for a 5 of a kind win. These 2 fall into the higher paying symbol category, along with Sphinx and the Ankh symbol. These symbols are joined by the lower paying symbols which are playing cards 10, J, Q, K and A.
Look out for the Bonus symbol as it is the one you’ll need to trigger any bonus games. There is also a wild that substitutes all symbols to create winning paylines. The only icon it won’t replace is the Bonus symbol.
The Bonus Wheel and the Free spins are triggered by landing the Bonus symbol 3 or more times on the same spin. What happens, should anyone achieve this, is you’ll be taken to the wheel where a selection of rewards can be dished out. When the wheel spins it can land on any 1 of a number of options. The wheel could result in an extra wild being released into the game, multipliers on your wins, or a free spins round that will play out.
The amount of Bonus symbols you managed to trigger the bonus wheel with will determine how many free spins you’ll receive if the wheel lands on the free spins round. What needs to happen is 3 or more Bonus symbols land on the same spin. By landing 3 symbols you’ll receive 5 free spins, 4 symbols gets you 10 free spins and 5 symbols will reward you with a very enticing 15 free spins.
There is also the Sandstorm feature which can happen at the start of every spin. The sandstorm can randomly deliver wild symbols, 5 of a kind wins, entire reels turning wild and perhaps even trigger the bonus features.
The Bonus features are what you really want to be landing as regularly as possible. This is where a steady flow of winnings can come into your account, and at multiplied amounts, too. The Sandstorm feature is also a welcomed addition in that without even trying you are randomly awarded from time to time, which is always welcomed by users and a little gift bestowed by the iGaming studio. The higher variance of the online slot game might frustrate some, but overall you should have a profitable, wild adventure on the reels.
