Anubis Gold

Ancient Egypt remains one of the most popular online slot game themes, delivering plenty of magic and action through the empire's old gods and sacred symbols. Anubis Gold by Inspired Gaming takes the theme on, giving it a dark and mysterious flavour - and lots of dramatic on-reel excitement. You'll travel to the pyramids and look for treasure among the reels, with the possibility of unlocking the power of the mighty god Anubis, and grabbing some very big wins.

Take a look inside the Anubis Gold slot

As you might expect from the theme, Anubis Gold takes you right to the Great Pyramids, and you'll be searching for treasures of the gods in the forgotten tombs beneath. To gain access, you need the blessings of Anubis - found in the form of scatter symbols. Before you reach the main chamber, however, take a look around the base game and all that it offers.

The game is played on a five reel set with three rows of symbols, and a total of 10 pay lines. Set a bet amount (between 0.10 and 100.00) and hit spin to get the reels turning, and see what symbol combinations you can make. There are four low paying symbols (JQKA) and six higher paying symbols - a bird, a scarab, a pyramid, the goddess Isis, the Sphinx, and the Eye of Horus. Alongside these are the Anubis special wild symbol, and the pyramid bonus scatter.

Wilds

The wild symbol appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4. When it lands, it will expand to cover the full reel.

Free Spins

Landing at least three bonus scatter symbols anywhere will give 12 free spins, along with a 2x, 20x or 50x payout. In free spins, the expanding wild really comes into its own. Every appearance of a wild symbol will upgrade one of the six high paying symbols into a golden version for the remainder of the round, giving even bigger wins. Wilds also boost the free spins counter by one spin (one wild), three spins (two wilds), or five spins (three wilds).

Game details

This is a medium to high variance slot game, with up to 250,000 coins available as a maximum win. Spins start at 0.20 each, capped at 100.00. The average return to player is lower than expected at less than 95%, but the base game offers some steady wins and the bonus has the potential to stack some big money up, if you are lucky enough to get the golden symbol upgrades. Overall, Anubis Gold isn't groundbreaking and stays very true to the Inspired Gaming formula, but it delivers a neat, sophisticated play experience and the chance to grab a mix of modest and big wins.
