Ark of Mystery

In today’s day and age, genuine mysteries can be hard to find. Now that you can take your phone out and see almost any place on the planet? Hiding something like a sprawling sunken temple can be quite difficult. But if you’re willing to meet Quickspin half-way, they’ve got a fun slot waiting for you. That is, if you’re willing to venture into this ancient building?

Ark of Mystery is played on a 5×3 board with 20 fixed paylines. There are two special features players can make use of. First are Wild Ark symbols, which trigger a re-spin when they land on the reels 2, 3 or 4. There’s also a multiplier bonus, which increases your multiplier for each booster icon you find on the fifth reel.

One look at the background image and we were in love! You can tell a lot of effort went into making this game look fantastic. The braziers are lit, illuminating the tall, decorated pillars holding the whole room up. The roof is long since gone and you can see plant life reclaiming the once prestigious temple. And by the stairs is the gleam of gold, tempting you to spin more.

The Quickspin release is played on a 5-reel board, where each reel is three symbols tall. There are a total of 20 paylines, which cannot be turned on or off. To win, collect three or more identical icons in adjacent positions, starting from the leftmost reel. All wins must follow one of the currently active paylines or else the cash prize won’t be awarded to the gambler.

This slot wants you to jump in and play as soon as possible. To that end, they simplified choosing your bet as much as possible! Everything is displayed in your currency, for one. Second, you simply click the button, and directly choose the value you want; no need for multiple clicks! You can bet between $0.20 and $100 on each spin.

As for volatility, it rests between medium and high. When it comes to the RTP, it sits at 96.53%, which is above the current industry average. Your maximum prize floats somewhere above 6,500x your total stake, only achievable using the increasing multipliers the game offers.

Honestly, we don’t have a lot to say about the symbols. We will praise the developers for making playing card royals fit with the Egyptian theme. They fit in next to the numerous ankhs, scarabs and Eyes of Horus you’ll see on the board. The most valuable icon is the explorer, worth 50x.

Find a golden Wild Ark symbol on the second, third or fourth reel to win a re-spin. During re-spins, all Wild Arks are locked in place while the re-spin takes place. At the start of each re-spin, Wild Ark will replicate in an open adjacent position on the same reel and re-spins continue as long as empty spaces remain. This means a maximum of 6 re-spins.

Multiplier Booster icons appear on the fifth reel only. Each one increases your multiplier by one and the payout of each spin is increased by them. You can increase your multiplier up to 22x using this method.
