Doom of Egypt

Doom of Egypt is a dark Egyptian slot in which ancient kings who rule Egypt even beyond the grave join forces with the power of Anubis. It was released on November 7, 2019, and you can play the free demo right away with no sign-up.

Is the scarab in Doom of Egypt a wild or a scatter?

Both. The sacred scarab beetle acts as a wild that substitutes for all symbols, and with its mystical power it also serves as a scatter. Free spins open when 3 scarabs land on the reels, so every wild is also a potential feature trigger. The classic Egyptian formula from Play’n GO slots, the studio behind Book of Dead, is fully alive here.

How is the special expanding symbol chosen?

When free spins begin, you get 10 free spins and one of the nine game symbols is randomly chosen as the special expanding symbol. The wild scarab is excluded from the candidates. Getting a high symbol like one of the three pharaohs or Anubis, the god of the underworld, raises the excitement, and even a low symbol is useful thanks to the expansion. Depending on which symbol is chosen, the same free spins can end up with completely different results.

Under what conditions does the expanding symbol spread?

When the chosen symbol lands on the reels in the number needed for a base game win, it expands across the entire reel and pays on the paylines even if the symbols aren’t adjacent. The expansion happens after regular symbol wins are paid, and the regular win for the chosen symbol is calculated separately beforehand. So in effect, one spin checks for wins twice.

What symbols appear in Doom of Egypt?

Three ancient pharaohs and Anubis, the god of the underworld, appear as the main symbols. When one of them is chosen as the expanding symbol, you can aim for big wins across all 10 paylines. True to the setting, where the kings awaken from their tombs and bring ruin to Egypt, the screen has a dark and solemn look. The moment a royal symbol expands is the heaviest one in this game.

What should I check first in the demo?

The RTP is 94.25%, and the max win is 5,000x your bet. Bonus buy isn’t available, so you have to trigger the free spins yourself with 3 scarabs. There’s no official volatility figure, so try the demo and enter the free spins a few times to see which expanding symbols make the results swing the most. It helps to note the rounds where a high symbol was picked so you can compare.
