Fortune of Giza bonus features

Wild

The scarab-style wild offers substitution powers and can replace any symbol except the bonus icon to help create wins. The wild appears on the second, third and fourth reels. In this game, wilds also carry random multipliers of either 2x or 3x that come into play if they are involved in a win. Multipliers are added together if more than one is involved in making a successful combination of symbols.

Free spins

The full moon pyramid is the bonus symbol and appears on the first, third and fifth reels. Land one of these on each of the three reels and you will trigger the free spins bonus. The bonus symbol is a scatter symbol and also offers a win of 5x your total bet for landing three anywhere on the grid.

Unlike with many free spins bonus rounds, there is no set number awarded for landing three; instead, a random number will be awarded at the beginning of the round. In an interesting twist, a 3x3 grid will show reels spinning and reveal free spins in each cell. These will be added together and the total will be awarded.

The wild symbols that land will become sticky and stay in place along with the multipliers they contain. The free spins cannot be retriggered as you play, as the bonus symbols don’t appear on the special free spins grid.

Fortune of Giza review: our verdict

There is nothing overly exciting about the Fortune of Giza slot. It is a typical Pragmatic Play game, but this might not be a bad thing if you like this maker’s style. It won’t be for you if you are looking for innovation or the biggest maximum win for a high volatility game but it does offer a pleasant overall experience and a good choice of bonus features, particularly the sticky wilds with multipliers.
