Curse of Anubis - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Enjoy exciting expanding wilds and multipliers worth up to 25x your stake when you choose to play Curse of Anubis from Playtech. The game also offers free spins boosted by a wild collection feature, along with reappearing wilds that play a starring role in the final spin. Read on to find out more.

Curse of Anubis Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

The theme of this game is similar to the Vault of Anubis slot and is based on the Egyptian god of the afterlife and mummification. Anubis is famous for his jackal-type head, and he is said to be the patron god of helpless people and lost souls. Can he help guide you in the right direction if you choose to play this online slot?

The action is played on a beautifully-designed scroll with pyramids in the background. The Anubis character looks quite menacing, but the calming, thematic soundtrack acts as a nice antidote to his shining blue-eyed stare.

Curse of Anubis RTP and Variance

The RTP of the game is a very average 96.01 per cent and offers 50 different ways to win. It plays like quite a volatile slot, although its variance is said to be medium to high.

How to Play Curse of Anubis

Playtech slots are renowned for being well-designed and easy to play. If you do want a few tips to get you started, however, here they are:

1. The green circle is your spin button. The symbol will change to a square as you spin. Click on this to stop the reels early.
2. Click on the right-pointing arrow next to the spin button to speed up the spinning action.
3. The two circular arrows allow you to choose how many spins you want the game to play before you have to press start again. If you want to use this autoplay function, you can choose from five automatic spins to allowing the reels to roll without intervention until you hit the feature - or your credits run out.
4. The 50 paylines are fixed, but you can use the - and + symbols to choose how much you want your total bet to be. Your choices range from 0.25 per spin to 500.00.
5. Use the ‘i’ tab to access game information, such as the paytable and details about the roles of the wild and scatter symbols.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

The symbols in play in this game are exactly what you would expect to see with this theme. They include pyramids, scarab beetles, and typical ancient Egyptian symbols, along with Anubis, who acts as the wild of the slot. The symbols also combine in the way you would expect, with wins paying out from left to right as in most online slots.

You can make bets ranging from 0.25 to a huge 500.00 per spin, and all wins are multipliers of your line bet. You cannot alter how many lines you play, so you will need to divide your total stake by 50 to reveal your line bet. You can then apply it to the multiplier for each win. Here’s what you can expect to get for five symbols in a row:

Red and gold scarab beetle - 150x your line bet

Light blue and gold phoenix - 80x

Dark blue and gold fan symbol - 80x

Green eye symbol - 60x

Gold key of life Ankh symbol - 60x

A - 50x

K, Q - 40x

J, 10 - 20x

Curse of Anubis Bonus Features 

There is no shortage of bonus features in the Curse of Anubis slot. The main attraction is the expanding wilds feature. In standard play, the wilds can replace all symbols except for scatters to help create wins. In this game, they will only appear on reels two to four, but they can expand and fill whole reels. Stacked wilds can multiply your prizes by the following amounts:

1x
2x
3x
5x
10x
15x
25x

Scatter symbols also only appear on reels two, three and four. Landing three of these will start the slot’s free games feature. Ten free games will be your reward. As you play your free spins, any wild position is saved, and if another wild lands in the same place, you will get a bonus multiplier. All of the wilds that make an appearance during the free spins will return for the final free game. Multiple wilds in the same position can deliver a multiplier of as much as 10x.
