Inspired Gaming hasn’t contributed many titles to the Ancient Egypt genre, but the Big Egyptian Fortune slot is one of them. And with this game, they’re obviously not trying to break the mould, in terms of design at least.
This 5x3 slot features all the usual symbols, with lower-paying card ranks 10 to Ace and an ankh, necklace, bracelet, and Eye of Horus premiums. But in true Inspired Gaming style, the graphics are stunning, with the premiums looking like they should be in a museum rather than on the reels of a slot.
There’s also a whip-cracking explorer type and some canopic jars to add a bit more excitement to gameplay. And don’t worry, the ancient Egyptians might have used canopic jars to store the internal organs of mummies, but here the contents are much more desirable. Players can only get at these in the Free Spins, but in the base game, the jars award line wins for any three or more on a payline.
I’ll tell you more about them below, but for now, a quick look at some technical details. The betting range starts from 0.20 and goes up to 100.00 per spin. And with ten paylines crossing the grid, your chosen level divided by this number will give you the line bet, which line wins are calculated from.
The explorer type is the Wild in Big Egyptian Fortune. He only appears on the reels during the Free Spins, where he will substitute for regular symbols to help form line wins. And then crack his whip to hopefully land the lucky player some extra potential cash prizes.
The Scatter is a winged sun symbol, and three or more in view trigger the bonus Free Spins round.
Big Egyptian Fortune is all about the Free Spins feature. This doesn’t start with a fixed amount of spins, but the number of triggering Scatters is still important. Before the round starts, the player picks tiles to uncover the value of the Big Treasure. If three Scatters trigger the round, this can be 20x, 30x, 50x, or 100x the total bet. Every extra Scatter removes the lowest value from the options.
During the Free Spins, the explorer will land, and after he’s finished forming any line wins, he’ll crack his whip and collect any treasure jar in view. These come with cash prizes, which are awarded to the player. Multiple Wilds on the reels will each collect the jars in turn.
The highest cash prize that can be won is the Big Treasure that was set at the beginning of the round. If this lands with no Wild on the reels, it will stick until it is collected and the round ends.
The Free Spins in Big Egyptian Fortune offer a guaranteed win of 20x to 100x times the bet and the possibility of much more. But they can take some time to trigger, so always set a loss limit before you start playing. Try it out now at Gala Spins where there are many online slots to play. Good Luck!
