Tomb of Gold II

Play’n GO loves its Egyptian slots, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen an actual Egyptian slot release worthy of a mention from them. The long wait is over, and we now have the sequel to the famous Tomb of Gold. Tomb of Gold 2 (styled as Tomb of Gold II) is a 6×4 slot with very high variance. It’s volatile with five different RTP models, offering a staggering 10,000x win potential with a standard range of $0.10-$100 betting range.

Inside the game, you will have the pleasure of being reacquainted with one of Play’n GO classics. Tomb of Gold – the OG, debut release – is more or less the same as this one, except the sequel brings on a couple of pleasant changes. For starters, the wins are higher, with a brand-new jackpot special feature.

If you decide to give the sequel a go, you’ll be looking at a 96.21% RTP (the optimal one) which sounds easy, but it’s not. Read on to learn more about Tomb of Gold II.

Tomb of Gold II is a 6×4 grid slot offering players 4096 ways to win. The maximum win is capped at 10,000x the stake, but since the chance of hitting that is 1 in a billion, it’s not exactly an easy feat. Still, it’s a very fun game nonetheless, especially for fans of Egyptian mythology.

In truth, Play’n GO is a master of the theme, having made some of the most popular Egyptian slots of all time. Still, the sequel to Tomb of Gold is not exactly inspiring innovation; it’s merely a pleasant game with entertaining features.

To play, you must pick a stake from the $0.10-$100 betting range. There’s no Buy Bonus or anything that interferes with the betting range, so that’s the maximum you can wager on a single round in Tomb of Gold II. Once you have your stake, click on the spin button and wait for the reels to stop spinning.

A win requires at least 3 matching icons, which can go up to 6 matching icons across a payline. Wilds appear on the grid and help you catch more wins. Coins are also very helpful as they trigger the special features: Lock’N Gold and Stack of Gold. Besides regular icons and Wilds and Coins, the game also has Sphinx Scatters that activate Free Spins.

The betting range in Tomb of Gold II is flexible and suitable for all types of players. The lowest possible bet is $0.10 per round, while the maximum you can wager on a spin is $100.

And now, the payouts. Low symbols (10–A) pay between 1x–1.40x the bet for 6-of-a-kind, while high-paying symbols (ankh, beetle, cat, and mask, standard Egyptian icons) award 3x–5x the bet.

Wilds not only substitute for other icons but also pay 6x for a full line on the grid.

Besides regular payouts, the game also offers jackpots. Jackpot prizes from the Stack of Gold feature include 20x (Mini), 50x (Minor), 100x (Major), and 1,000x (Grand). The theoretical maximum win is 10,000x the stake, though it’s extremely rare to hit so don’t get your hopes up.

Finally, the game comes with a 96.21% optimal RTP, but there are four other alternatives: 94.2%, 91.2%, 87.2%, and 84.2%. It’s highly volatile no matter what the RTP is.

When it comes to game features, Tomb of Gold II features Lock’n Gold, Stacks of Gold, and Free Spins. Let’s see more about each below.

Stack of Gold

This feature is base game-only, meaning it is possible to trigger it only in the base game. When it triggers, it essentially allows you to collect Coin symbols (up to 5). It’s random, so it has a random chance to trigger. When you activate it, it will award you one of four jackpot prizes (20x to 1,000x). We must mention that though the visual stack grows, its size doesn’t affect the triggering odds.

Lock’n Gold

The second feature is Lock’n Gold. It’s triggered by landing 6 Coin symbols on the grid. It’s basically a Hold & Win feature, as it allows you to play Respins until you hit a prize. It starts with 3 Respins, which reset with every new Coin on the grid. Coins reveal values between 1x–10x the bet, and filling the screen guarantees a 500x payout. However, every round without a new Coin loses a Respin, so the round ends when there are no Respins left.

Free Spins

And finally, the main game feature. Triggered by 3 or more Sphinx Scatters, Free Spins allow players to maximize winnings and hit big.

At the start of the round, a wheel decides both the number of free spins (10–30) and the starting multiplier (1x to 5x).

During the round, special Wilds increase the win multiplier by +1, +2, or +3 depending on their value. Additional Sphinx symbols can increase the spin count up to a maximum of 65, meaning it’s possible to play up to 65 Free Spins in total.

Play’n GO ensured Tomb of Gold II is smooth and easily accessible across all devices. On smartphones and tablets, the game adapts beautifully with responsive controls and slick animations. Of course, the layout remains clean, and it’s easy to keep track of features like multipliers, coin stacks, and spin wheels are easy, despite playing on smaller screens.

To play the game on mobile, you can either play at a casino with a downloadable mobile app or via mobile browsers. If you choose an app, download it and log in to play. If you want to avoid downloading content to your device, you can easily play directly from mobile browsers (Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc.) and enjoy the game as you would on a desktop. There are virtually no differences between apps and browsers in that sense.

Theme, Visuals & Sound

Tomb of Gold II is a visual tribute to Ancient Egypt that Play’n GO is a major fan of.  The love for Egypt is clearly reflected in the use of rich golden hues, detailed temple columns, flickering braziers, and regal statues. The soundtrack adds to the mystery and grandeur of the setting, with ambient tones that match the vibe to a T. The animations, especially during bonus triggers, are polished and immersive.

But honestly, what else could we expect from Play’n GO? It’s the home to some fo the most famous Egyptian slots, so it would be a shame to come out with a less than perfect-looking slot.

In Tomb of Gold, the visuals are great, even though the gameplay is not that innovative or outside of the box. Still, very complementary, very easy on the eyes, and most importantly, fun.

Our Experience Playing Tomb of Gold II

Tomb of Gold II felt very familiar to Tomb of Gold, probably because the two games are virtually the same game with slight moderations. In all honestly, the two share most of the traits, except the sequel has jackpots and a better Wild feature. All in all, a very pleasant game experience, mostly because we were excited to meet the new Tomb of Gold.

If you are looking for fun Egyptian slots and are unsure what to pick, it’s this one. It’s also great if you are a fan of the Hold & Spin/ Hold & Win features that Betsoft seems to adore.
