Mummy Gold Slot Review
Just how many games are there based in Ancient Egypt? Well there are plenty of them and here’s another, this time from Nektan who are a Gibralatar based company. They’ve been putting out a string of top games recently and here’s another one to try and win some money on.
There are some good wins in this game but don’t expect a steady flow of cash making its way into your account balance. It took me a while to get into the bonus game so keep an eye on how much you’re spending on this game.
This is a five reel game that has just the three rows of symbols and a total of 25 paylines. The game can be played from as low as £0.01 all the way up to ££1,250 at max bet. Simply work out a budget you feel comfortable, with it, stick to it and enjoy playing the game.
As I’ve written there are loads of slot games that use an Ancient Egyptian theme so it’s unlikely we were ever going to see anything new here. What we do get are some well-drawn symbols that are entertaining to look at. There's the hieroglyphs of the pyramid, jewelled scarab beetles, Cleopatra, a mummified pharoah and the eye of Horus. We also get the Ten to Ace symbols making an appearance as the lower paying symbols in the game.
The Wild symbol in ‘Mummy Gold’ is the mummy and this can substitute for other symbols with the exception of the free spins symbol. It’s a useful asset to the game though but surely Nektan realize that wild symbols can do so much more than they do here. Let’s see it expand or shift or become sticky, now that would make the game a lot more interesting.
To find out more about how the game works, access the paytable which is packed with information. That knowledge and playing some free games will show you just how 'Mummy Gold' works.
Bonus Game
You need at least three of the free spins symbols to trigger the bonus round. Three of them will get you 15 free spins, four takes that up to a total of 25 and five boosts it all the way up to a whopping 50 free spins. During the free spins it’s possible to re-trigger the free spins which will really cheer you up. Don’t expect a host of big wins during the free spins though and there’s no multiplier attached to what wins you do get.
Conclusion
Another entertaining game from Nektan, it looks and sounds good but they could do with adding some more features to their games. All the ones I've reviewed have been the usual mix of a wild that could do a lot more than the helpful task it does perform. The bonus game always seems to be a solitary one and a free spins one with not much added to it. It's still a good game to play but they need to come up with some more ideas for their games.
