Some slot games make no bones about their theme. If you read the title to this one, you may think of the Luxor building in Las Vegas – the famous pyramid. However, mention of the gods makes it clear that we are going somewhere else – another country entirely.
The Gods of Luxor appear in the online slot we are going to review here. You can expect an ancient setting as befits those gods, but what else might you see?
Who is the developer?
Bovada is behind this game – the same team that is behind the casino called Bovada too, where you can try it.
We do get access to a demo version
And that means you can experiment with wagers and other features too.
The theme takes us to ancient Egypt
We knew this already, of course, and there are many elements here that support this popular slot theme. It may seem overdone, but it is popular for many good reasons. We think all those reasons are well represented here.
Design features
These are as good as the theme. Lots of color features throughout, along with various entertaining features that lift it out of the ordinary. This applies to the game as well as its appearance.
Let’s see how to play this slot game
We have five reels, three rows of symbols, and a surrounding area that puts us inside a temple… or perhaps a pyramid. Rather than seeing a whole reel spin in one hit, you’ll see the individual symbols spin – or flip – instead. Progressive jackpots don’t factor into this game though.
Scarab beetles tend to scuttle into these games, and we have one here acting as a wild symbol. Everything apart from the scatter is replaceable with this, and all successful combinations with one or more wilds involved get double the usual prize amount.
However, beetles also pay out on their own if you can get enough on a line. And if you can get five on the same line, expect your prize to be a cool 10,000x your line bet.
The scatter comes in the guise of an ankh against a colorful backdrop. It looks as if it is made from silver or something similar. This is the feature trigger, along with offering scatter prizes for two or more anywhere in a spin.
Payline amount
There are 20 lines to cover when you play this slot game.
Bet amounts to think about
You can play anything from 20 cents on a spin to $200… so, you can see there are ample betting options here for most players to sort through.
Is this the best paytable design?
We believe it is. There are several categories on the left of your screen when you go into the paytable. Once there, you should read through them all, but it is reassuring to see you can hop from one to another without needing to go through everything. This is handy if you need to return to it to check something later.
What is the bonus like?
Firstly, we do get one here, which isn’t always the case. It is called the Wheel of Gods and it does involve a wheel. You’ll only see this wheel following a spin that results in a prize, but it won’t appear after every prize-winning spin. It looks like a random occurrence.
If you do see it, watch closely. You get one spin and you must simply sit back and see which of seven multiplier values the wheel lands on when it stops. The value shown boosts the prize you had just won on the spin that triggered the wheel. So, it is a pleasant if simple bonus to find.
There are free spins here as well
Yes, and you can receive 15 of them whenever three or more scattered ankh icons turn up in a spin. Everything is worth three times the normal amount in prize values, other than the five-beetle 10,000x prize. That makes sense, we guess. Find more scattered ankhs and more spins are granted too.
