The Power of Ankh - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

The Power of Ankh is an online slot from game maker CT Gaming which is played out on a classic 5x3 reel set packed with colourful symbols.

The game has a wild which substitutes for all other symbols except the scatter and is also the top-paying symbol.

The scatter, in the shape of the titular ankh, appears on reels 3, 4 and 5 and is the key to free spins. When three scatters appear together, they trigger 15 free games, but if three appear again during this mode of the game, the player is rewarded with a massive 100 free spins.

There are 30 paylines but these can be customised.

In total there are 12 paying symbols, including the wild and the scatter. The wild is in the image of Tutankhamen’s sarcophagus, and the scatter which also pays is the eponymous Ankh. Among the remaining symbols the top-value tiles are the cat and the hawk.

These are followed by the eye of Horus and a scarab beetle. The next two in order of value are a tablet featuring an Egyptian dog holding an ankh and three cornucopias.

Finally, there are three playing card symbols, each featuring the eye of Horus and ranging from A to J.

There is also a gamble feature which is available every time a winning line is formed that provides less than x10 the total bet. A face-down playing card appears and you can either guess the colour of the card to double your winnings or the suit to quadruple them.

You can choose to gamble half your winnings if you wish.

The gamble feature ends when you lose or reach a limit of winnings set at 50x total bet.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

We are in the world of ancient Egypt in The Power of Ankh, with the Ankh representing the most common symbol in hieroglyphics, translating as life.

The reels are set inside a tomb framed by pillars and against a wall full of symbols from the era.

The symbols on the reels are of a stunning design, which is the hallmark of this game designer. As well as the Tutankhamen’s sarcophagus, the Eye of Horus features by itself and on other symbols.

Meanwhile, the game is introduced by a soundtrack straight from an ancient bazaar, which then slips into a moody passage as we enter the game. Classic reel sounds come in once the spin button is hit, and wins are greeted by a fanfare as you hear the winnings fall into your hands.

The Power of Ankh Review

Although there are many slots with a similar theme to choose from, if you are looking for crisp design and good features, then The Power of Ankh may be for you.

The bet range and RTP are pretty good, and there are chances to increase your winnings through the double gamble feature.

The game should appeal to novices and high rollers, although the latter may be disappointed that there is no jackpot.
