Tales of Egypt

Featuring a brave female archaeologist on her quest to uncover the secrets behind Egyptian pyramids, Tales of Egypt is a five reel twenty payline video slot released by TopGame in August 2014. And while the graphics are not exactly eye-catching, aptly-designed game symbols carrying references to famous Egyptian gods seriously improve the overall atmosphere, although things get even more exciting once you unlock the Raiding the Pyramid bonus round.

Game options panel is located exactly below the reels and while it may look a bit too busy, the process of placing your wagers is quite simple. Simply select up to 20 paylines and bet per line from $0.01 to $5 and you can press Spin to start your game. There is a special button present where total bet can be chosen, further simplifying the process.

Receive three or more matching icons on an active payline starting from the leftmost reel to qualify for an instant credit win. The paylines system is displayed under Game Rules in the Paytable. The Archaeologist Wild will substitute for all non-feature icons, whilst Great Pyramid assumes the role of both Wild and Scatter.

Tales of Egypt video slot gives players a chance to customize their user experience as well as game play with a number of useful options such as Bet Max, Autoplay and Fast Play. Gamble Feature is also going to come in handy when base line payouts are not as good as expected, with gamers guessing whether the next card will be red or black. The gamble limit is either 1,000x bet or five cards.

The TopGame’s latest release appears to be a low-volatility slot considering that even the payouts on five matching icons do not exceed 1,000 coins. This is enough to suggest that base line wins are likely to occur more frequently, with the maximum coin jackpot of 1,000 awarded when five Explorer Jane Wilds are positioned on any payline.

While Explorer Jane and Great Pyramid act as Wild and Scatter respectively, high cards Ace through Ten represent the low-value symbols. There may be just four high-value icons present in the game, with Egyptian gods and goddesses Bastet, Horus, Kheper and Seth depicted as cat, falcon, scarab beetle and human with an animal head.

The Great Pyramid, acting as both Wild and Scatter, is used to trigger the Raiding the Pyramid bonus, with three or more of these symbols in any position activating the bonus game. Up to ten free games with a random multiplier are played subsequently, where additional free games can be won during the feature. Before the round starts, a random symbol is chosen from the four character icons and to act as Scatter during the feature, awarding wins regardless of the position.
