Gods of Luxor - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Woohoo has only been around since 2019, but it has gained a worldwide reputation for quality in that time. Woohoo free slots are a popular feature on the online gaming landscape and they demonstrate Woohoo’s determination both to innovate and adapt. Gods of Luxor is firmly in the tradition of games like Genesis Gaming’s Temple of Luxor slot but Woohoo have tried to make it stand out among the many entries with an ancient Egyptian slot theme.

Gods of Luxor uses 5 reels each with 3 rows. It has 100 pay lines. The minimum bet size is 0.2 and the maximum is 200. There are eleven regular symbols: Horus the bird god, Anubis the dog god, Bastet the cat god, Nehebkau the snake god, and Sobek the crocodile god plus the playing cards from ace down to 9. The wild is a scarab and the scatter is the ankh.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

Gods of Luxor’s introduction shows that it means business. A silver depiction of the gods gathers against a black background before giving way to a giant sun on which the gods reappear in full colour. Then, like the opening sequence of a movie, the ‘camera’ pans down from the distant temple to show the long sunken road to the horizon before taking us into the cavernous opening where the symbols appear, each spinning on its own axis.

The visuals are crisply realised and the artwork is very impressive, with stylish animation, particularly in the case of the scarab whose fluttering wings are accompanied by an eerie sound effect. 

There’s an unobtrusive musical soundtrack, more atmospheric than dramatic and the main focus is on the echoing thumps, drumrolls and rattles. And of course that unsettling scarab sound. It’s a smart looking and sounding game that executes its theme very effectively.

Gods of Luxor review: our verdict

This by no means a complex slot and there isn’t a bonus game to take you into a different environment, but it is a solid effort with frequent wins and the random possibility of the wheel of gods appearing. What’s most striking is its appearance, which sets some kind of benchmark for games that use Ancient Egyptian themes.
