Egyptian Mega Fortune Slot Review

If we were to take a guess as to what’s the most popular theme for a video slot, Ancient Egypt would be a likely candidate. They’re a pretty large proportion of our free slots. Egyptian Mega Fortune from Silverback Gaming is a 40-payline game with familiar elements, from the five-reel layout to the scarabs and ankhs among its symbols, but it has its own bonus features, including both free spins and hold and win, each with their own variations. Here’s the full Egyptian Mega Fortune slot review.

First and Most Favoured

Ancient Egypt was one of the first great civilisations mankind built after we made our transition from the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, but that alone doesn’t explain why it’s one of the most popular themes in slots. Is it the iconic architecture, with the pyramids still drawing so many eyes? Is it the dazzling array of animal-headed gods? Is it all those stories of cursed tombs and lost treasures that grew around the golden era of archaeological excavations? Whatever the reason, the Egyptian Mega Fortune slot draws on a long tradition.

Different Forms of Gold

One thing that does seem to dominate Egyptian-themed slots is gold. Golden sunlight and golden desert sands. Pyramids and temples in golden brown shades, and golden treasures filling golden-walled tombs. In the Egyptian Mega Fortune slot, it’s all drawn with clean lines and sharp detail.

Other imagery in Egyptian Mega Fortune includes palm trees, fronds gently waving in the breeze, that stand against the wide blue sky of the background, a 3D temple decorated with hieroglyphic inscriptions that provides the framing for the reels, and a selection of symbols, including the Eye of Horus and a pharaoh, possibly Cleopatra herself.

Egyptian Mega Fortune RTP and Variance

The RTP of the Egyptian Mega Fortune slot is 95.78%. The variance is medium.

How to Play Egyptian Mega Fortune

You won’t find any buttons here that don’t exist in other slots:

1. Looking for more info before you take the plunge to play? A help page and the paytable are linked in the bottom corner.
2. If you want to adjust settings before you start, including sound and full screen, look to the top corner.
3. Make sure you make a stop at the bet adjustor, just under the reels, and use the arrows to set it at a level that makes sense to you. The minimum is 0.5.
4. Spin is a big button - you can’t miss it. Have fun!
5. Once you get going, keep an eye on your balance and the session timer in the top corner. Loss, single win and time limits are all important to keep your game under control.
6. Always know when to stop.

How to Win at Egyptian Mega Fortune

Most five-reel slots have three rows and Egyptian Mega Fortune has four, but other than that it’s not particularly remarkable in design. Not when you compare it to something like eight-reel Cluster Tumble with its cluster pays. Here you need to match symbols, at least three of them, across one of the 40 paylines. Your other main goal is to trigger one of the several Egyptian Mega Fortune bonus features.

Top Wins

• Payout potential of winning symbols is defined in the paytable.
• Top payouts come when you create a combination of five identical symbols.
• You’ll see that card symbols aren’t worth as much as themed symbols. The most valuable icon of all is the wild, worth up to 12.5x your bet.
• There’s a scatter symbol as well, but it doesn’t pay in its own right. No, the scatter is all about triggering bonuses.
• Overall the max win available is x2500.

Egyptian Mega Fortune Bonuses

Slots with basic or more generic themes sometimes strip back the bonus features to emphasise simplicity, and sometimes they stack the bonus features to try and add more depth. Egyptian Mega Fortune is probably in the second category thanks to the increasing multiplier in its free spins, the hold and win opportunities and the appearance of the sticky wild.

Free Spins

Three scatter symbols trigger at least nine free spins, but sometimes (randomly) it’ll award you 11 instead. There’s an increasing win multiplier that starts at x1 on the first free spin, then goes to x2 on the next, continuing all the way to x9 (or x11). Free spins can be retriggered.

Sticky Wilds

Swarms of wild scarabs can randomly appear at any time and attach themselves to winning symbols, potentially increasing your total win.

Hold and Win Re-spins

These are triggered by coin symbols. You need at least three of them, and they’ll remain fixed in place as all other positions on the reels are re-spun at least three times. When new coins land, they’ll reset your re-spin count to three again. Accumulator symbols allow you to collect the multipliers visible on some coins, whilst boost symbols can double the multipliers. 

Max-win 2,500x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 95.78%

Egyptian Mega Fortune Review - Summary 

It’s not exactly breaking new ground with its Egyptian-themed design, but Egyptian Mega Fortune does have some high-quality graphics and a bigger selection of bonus features than many of the slots we see in online casinos. Your options beyond the base game include both free spins and hold and win re-spins, which along with the sticky wilds can make a significant difference to your in-game opportunities.
