There’s an opulent feel to the design in Egyptian Fortunes. You’ll see ornate columns, flaming torches and lots of gold in the background to the reels. The luxurious feel is maintained on the symbols too which are lavishly done. Joining the royal values are a quartet of animal god statues. Best of the standard symbols is the Tutankhamun-style burial mask which will get you 2.5, 30 or 50 times your stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 in combination. Even bigger potential rewards are on offer from the wild which can hit on all 5 reels in the base game. A 5 in a row wild combination pays a mighty 250 times your total stake.
Landing specific combinations of standard symbols can deliver free Energy Spins. A 5 in a row combination featuring the 10, J or Q symbol delivers 5 free energy spins. For the A, K, dog and bird statues it’s a 4 in a row combination that triggers 4 Energy Spins. The higher value cat, bull and Pharaoh symbols you’ll get 3 Energy Spins if you land 3 in combination.
Land the Bonus symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same base game or Energy Spin and you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature. On offer here are 6 free spins. Not many we grant you but there’s a nice extra on offer here though. Before the free spins begin, 3 symbols are chosen at random. These 3 symbols, alongside the wild on reels 2 and 4, are the only symbols in play during the free spins. That makes it that much more likely you’ll land a winning combination.
Egyptian Fortunes is a simple game but it’s one we really like. The Free Spins feature is a real cracker and can deliver some top action. The variance is on the high side of medium with top payouts of 5,000 times your stake on each spin if you fill the reels with wilds.
With so many already to choose from, do we need yet another slot game based on the land of the Pharaohs? Well yes actually. With its top spec design and impressive features, Egyptian Fortunes is a nice addition to this crowded genre. I would rather play other Pragmatic Play titles like the excellent Madame Destiny.
