Temple of Ausar
Now even a slightly shy and nervy wombat like me (I jest obviously) can’t really resist the adventurous charms of the ancient Egyptian slot games and Eyecon’s Temple of Ausar has just the right amount of reward to get this sometimes slow marsupial into the mode for action- even if it is of the slot variety.
There are 225 free spins at your paws, as well as a triple multiplier. Ancient history has never been so interesting! When you think of their other games like the more traxditional Cup Carnaval slot, this is quite a departure for them.
Look and Feel
This is a swanky looking game when you compare it to some of Eyecon’s simpler games like the Autumn Gold slot (but I suppose that is a 3 reeler) and it has some smart ancient times graphics, and all the action is set against a shadowy wall of Egyptian hieroglyphics. We’re here, deep in the walls of the dark temple of Ausar, the ancient god of the underworld. The reels are set in gold, a temping reminder of the treasure that lurks within this creepy and slightly too atmospheric spot.
Game Play
As this wombat feared, the high value icons that will make you a wedge of cash are some objects that look like they’re a pharaoh’s favourite trinkets and a motley crew of scary looking gods from the time of pyramids and papyrus! The game is set out over 25 pay-lines like the Great Abini slot and a lot of other games that we could mention.
The Wild is the blue faced god of the game’s title – the underworld’s overlord Ausar! If you get this guy on side then there’s a hoard of golden coins for you, just getting this icon to land five in a row on an active payline and make a pretty penny with a 9,500 coin reward. You could have a great barbie with some tinnies with that cash! Oh yes, he also doubles wins if he’s part of your winning combo. Bottoms up!
The Wild substitutes for all icons except the Scatter which is the headdress wearing goddess Isis who was a kind (thank goodness) goddess of protection.
The other high value icons are a Scarab beetle, a sign of eternal life, a golden eye of Horus- an ancient protective symbol (this is all getting me a wee bit scared of what we’re getting into!) There’s a jewel encrusted snake statue, a golden ankr- a sign of life from back in those ancient days and a crook and flail (“whaaat…”you ask, “are those?”) they’re the symbolic stuff that a pharaoh would have to show his power. The lower value icons are the Ace through nine of the card deck in glorious colour and olden day’s script!
The Bonus
Free Spins
If you can bring three or more of the Goddess Isis onto the reels you’ll max out your big money making potential with a mega 15 free games. And she’s one heck of a carer, any wins made in this feature will be tripled. I’m feeling pretty stoked about that!
Bonus Bonanza
If you fancy your hand at doubling down, or risking your winnings, then there’s a gamble option open to you- you wild one you! If you’re the lucky type, then you can gamble and win up to a maximum of five times in a row.
Summary
There’s a crowded world of Egyptian themed slots out there but with its nice lookin’ graphics and a generous free spins game, (did I mention the gamble feature?) There’s plenty for Eyecon to feel good about and to tempt my easily spooked self, back into Ausar’s temple!
