Legacy of Egypt

Dead men tell no tales is something pirates often say. Probably why so many of them committed their secrets to parchment and then sent the bottles floating across the ocean so others would find and remember them. And despite the massive effect ancient Egyptian society played during the rise of the Greek city-states, and later on the empires of Rome and Alexander the Great, today, it is their monuments and their writing that we remember them by. Worship of pharaohs and multiple deities has not been a thing in Egypt for a long time, but the tombs of those pharaohs and temples to these ancient gods still remain today, acting as a tourist trap. If you’re not in any financial means to visit Egypt yourself, have no fear, for its legacy is available on both desktop and mobile devices. The Play’n Go’s release offers gamblers a 5×3 playing field with 30 fixed paylines. Winning 3 or more Scatters can reward up to 20 free spins, with additional extra turns and multipliers being up for grabs once the special feature is already active.

We’re very much so in love with the Egyptian theme in general, and the artists really did a great job at bringing it to life here. When you first boot the slot and during the small zoom-out before the reels become visible, you see a rather detailed Egyptian temple, with a city and several pyramids in the background. This looks gorgeous, but is mostly covered by the reels, to the point where we wished Play’n Go would have given us an option to turn the reels transparent so we can see the backdrop more clearly.

As for gameplay, Legacy of Egypt is all about winning free spins and Pyramid spins. Two different free spins bonuses activated by Scatters are hands down the kings of this game. During regular free spins, there are additional multipliers ranging from 2x to 10x on each spin, and Scatters turn Wild during this time. Score two or more of these Wild Scatters, and you win pyramid spins, which are essentially additional free spins that lock the multiplier with which you started them.

You can play Legacy of Egypt for as little as $0.30 up to $90. With such a major focus on its features, it’s no surprise that the biggest wins will come from pyramid spins and the beefy multiplier. The slot is very much a high volatility affair, with a theoretical maximum win of 5,000x your wager during the bonuses being active! Don’t be surprised if you win much less than that, but when it wants to, this Play’n Go release can be rather profitable – as evidenced by a hard earned win that floats around 160x the wager thanks to several Pyramid spins, an 8x multiplier and one juicy five-of-a-kind jackal win.

As far as symbols go, they live and breathe the ancient Egypt theme they’re meant to represent. You have four deities – Sekhmet, Sobek, Anubis and Ra. Then you have Cleopatra, in what may be her most attractive rendition to date, and the pharaoh. These icons look great, and are joined by the pyramid Scatter which spins around in an awesome looking animation, and a coin with a scarab on it acting as the game’s Wild.

After winning three or more Scatters, the Wheel of the Gods spins and randomly selects a number between 3 and 20. The number you win is the amount of free spins you get, and all Scatters turn Wild. Collecting 2 or more Scattered Wilds rewards up to 8 Pyramid spins, and the amount you get is determined with another Wheel of the Gods spin. In addition, during free spins, the multiplier fluctuates between 2x to 10x, while during pyramid spins, it’s locked on the multiplier that the feature was triggered on.
