Legacy Of Egypt
The wombat says: Well, we’ll be jiggered wombat fans – if Play’N Go haven’t cashed in on the runaway success of mega slot Book Of Dead and released a very similar game indeed…
Well, these slots designers are a dab hand at classically themed games- just go ahead and play Rise of Olympus if you don´t believe me – that´s another classic.
Yup, Legacy of Egypt slot is another highly volatile release that comes with a up to 10x multiplier in the Free Spins feature. So, hold on to your golden head gear – it’s time to hit The Pyramids! What? You´ve just been there on our Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx game? No worries! Even better, you´ll be well prepared.
Will we scoop wins of 5000x your bet just like the blurb says? Who knows, but we’re gonna give it a ruddy good go….
Look and Feel
The play here takes place in the courtyard of a temple. Your bejewelled shiny reels are set in between some fancy pillars covered in Egyptian hieroglyphics and drawings, and the soundtrack is made up of harps and lyres – you know, standard Ancient Egyptian tunes.
It does the job, but if you’re expecting 3D graphics, you might be a bit disappointed.
Game Play
Legacy of Egypt slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 30 pay-lines. That´s about double the average that you´ll find on games like Ocean´s Treasure for example.
Bets start at 30p and go up £90 per spin.
As we’ve come to expect from slots in this genre, the icons in Legacy of Egypt are made up of the Ancient Gods: Bastet the cat goddess, creepy-croc Sobek who was the ancient god of crocodiles, jackal-faced Anubis the god of the dead and Horus the God of War with a face like an evil eagle. We’re not sire about this bloke.
You’ll also find a male and female Pharaoh both sporting eye-catching head gear. The Pharaoh is the most valuable symbol on the reels and will pay out 10x your stake for x5 on a payline.
Meanwhile the playing cards J, Q, K and A make up your lower values and the scarab beetle is the Wild icon here. It will do the usual job of replacing all other symbols on the reels to make more winning combos for you – all except the Pyramid Scatter.
Free Spins and Bonuses
Here’s where things get interesting Wombat fans!
Wheel of Gods Spins
If you manage to land 3x or more of the Pyramid Scatters (which is no mean feat we can tell you) you’ll trigger the Wheel of the Gods feature. Next, wheel will pop up to determine how many Free Spins you will be awarded with; either 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15 or 20 of the spinny little buggers. There is also a random multiplier added to each free spin – from 2x up to 10x! Bonza!
Pyramid Spins
Land 2x of the Scatters again during the bonus round and you’ll set off the Pyramid Spins feature – which means yet more spins for you slot fans.
There are x3 to x8 extra goes up for grabs – but the multiplier value will stay the same as it was in the original bonus round.
Potentially you could get your hands on a 10x multiplier for 8 spins – which means serious serious wonga.
Conclusion:
Wombat fans, it’s tempting to see Legacy of Egypt slot as ‘just another’ Ancient Egyptian game but we reckon it sets itself apart because of the possible MEGA payouts. If you’re lucky enough to land one of those high multipliers during the Pyramid Spins you’ll be chuckling all the way to the bank. For real.
It’s as good as Book Of Dead, which is no mean feat. Give it a go!
