Myths of Bastet - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Step back into Ancient Egyptian times with Myths of Bastet, an Onlyplay demo slot with one payline and three different bonus games. Three or more of the same symbols appearing consecutively anywhere on the reels pay, with wilds substituting for all paying symbols. The base game has five reels, which expand to seven during the feature games. Land three of a kind of any of the major symbols to trigger the progress bar to their associated bonus games, which between them feature multipliers, free spins, progress bars and cash prizes.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

While Ancient Egypt is a common theme among slots, Onlyplay’s graphics and sound make for an atmospheric and immersive experience. The symbols’ animations and the fog effects on the progress games are subtle and detailed, from the jewelled eyes of the scorpion right down to the glowing lower-tier crystal symbols.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Bet sizes range from 1 to 50 coins per spin on this slot, and wins are calculated by the bet size times the multiplier amounts on the paytable. All symbols will pay out if three or more of a kind appear consecutively anywhere on the reels, with the crocodile having the highest payout of 500x for seven of a kind.

Myths of Bastet Bonus Features 

Progress Game

Land three consecutive symbols of either the crocodile, scorpion or cobra to initiate the progress bar for their corresponding bonus game. For example, if you land three crocodiles on consecutive reels, you'll trigger the crocodile progress bar. The base game continues, but each time a crocodile symbol lands it will add to the progress bar until the crocodile bonus game is unlocked.

To bypass the progress game, you can purchase the bonus game at any time and play straight away.

Crocodile Bonus

Start with 10 free spins. A gold crocodile, two reels long, will advance one reel at a time per spin back and forth across the reels. If the gold crocodile covers one or more crocodile symbol, those symbols and those adjacent are converted to wilds, and more free spins are added as follows:

1 crocodile symbol covered anywhere on the reels = 2 wilds and 2 extra free spins
2 crocodile symbols covered on reels 1 and 2 or reels 6 and 7 = 3 wilds and 5 extra free spins
2 crocodile symbols covered on reels 2 and 3, 3 and 4 or 4 and 5 = 4 wilds and 5 extra free spins

The bonus ends when the free spins run out.

Cobra Bonus

Start with unlimited free spins and three lives. For each free spin you’re presented with seven pots. When the contents are revealed you’ll have either one or more of:

Pot of gold = random cash prize
Empty pot = no prize
Cobra = lose a life

The bonus ends when three Cobras are revealed.

Scorpion Bonus

Start with 10 free spins. Each appearance by a scorpion on the reels adds to a progress bar for more free spins and multipliers.

5 scorpions = extra 10 free spins and 2x multiplier
10 scorpions = 10 more free spins and 3x multiplier
30 scorpions = 10 more free spins and a 10x multiplier

The bonus ends if free spins run out before the next level is attained or if all 30 free spins are exhausted.

Myths of Bastet Review

Onlyplay has produced a fresh take on what is a common theme in slots, not just through the graphics but also in their ‘slottery’ game design. The one-payline layout and lack of turbo spin may not be for everyone, but the option to buy a bonus game has its appeal, as the pre-bonus progress features can take some time to trigger and complete. The bonus games take time to play out, which feels like value despite the RTP being low. Overall, we found it an enjoyable game, but if you prefer a more conventional style, Print Studio’s Book of Destiny slot, another of the Ancient Egyptian themed free play slots available to play, may fit the bill.
