Mysterious Egypt Slot

A slot from Pragmatic Play based on the You guessed it Egyptian theme, which just so happens to be one of the popular themes when it comes to slots. There are a usual 5 reels and 3 rows to play with, and this time you get just 10 pay lines and a min bet of just 0.10 per spin.

The slot comes with a max win of over 5000x, which goes over the common 5000x that Pragmatic gives many of their slots.

There is a free spins feature with this slot, and you need at least 3 scatters, but if you get more than 3, you do get paid higher for the scatters; you still start with 10 spins. But unlike other types of similar slots where it selects a special expanding symbol, with Mysterious Egypt you actually get 2 special symbols, not just one. I think that’s a good little change from the norm. I like that there is no limit to how many retriggers you can get during a bonus feature. No such limit, which in theory could mean dozens of retriggers. Each time you get 3 or more during the feature, you will get an additional 10 spins. During my play, I managed to get the first feature in 160 spins. But how much did it pay? Just under 20x.

The music and sound effects are Egyptian in every way, which you would expect for an Egyptian-themed slot, and if you're going to play an Egyptian-themed slot, then you may as well play it with the music on the entire time.

The highest RTP for this slot is actually 96.50%, but all I could play it at was the version 2% lower, so I played the 94.50% RTP version. For a short session, that is acceptable, but if I were to do 10,000 spins, it would have to be on a 96.5% version.

If you thought that getting more than 3 scatters would give you more than 10 spins, then you would be wrong cause it’s capped at a maximum of 10 spins, no matter how many scatters. I will also say that other themes appeal to me more than the Egyptian themes, and I would say that I don’t play many Egyptian-themed slots these days.

Mysterious Egypt is a classic 5 reel slot with 10 paylines. The game comes from the Pragmatic Play game provider and I discovered it once during Videoslots tournaments. The game seemed to give frequent winnings and I liked the mechanic so ever since then I occasionally play it, especially when playing with lower balance.

The game itself is inspired by Ancient Egypt theme so it's definitely not a slot that excels on the game theme or graphics. It's a good looking game, but nothing really spectacular. But what I do like about this game are the features- both base game and free spins. In the base game, on every single spin one of the game symbols is a special symbol. And just like in book games,for lower paying symbols- if 3 or more land, they expand and for premiums, only 2 symbols are needed for an expansion. The reason why I like it is because usually this is a bonus-only type of feature, but due to the special expanding symbols you can easily get decent base game hits. Although I haven't had any significant wins on the base game, I've had a few 50x bet wins which is especially great when low-rolling.

Aside from the base game feature, there's also a free spins bonus round. For 3 or more scatter symbols you get 10 free spins, but what sets this bonus apart from other games is the fact that before the bonus starts, you get 2 special symbols that will expand when they appear on the reels. Therefore, it doubles your chances for getting some symbol expansions. I haven't had any major wins with premium symbols, but I've had a couple of wins in the range of 200x-300x bet because of a full screen of lower paying symbols and feature retriggers. I think that when it comes to book-mechanic slots where you get a special symbol, this one definitely is a good game to play.

Overall, Mysterious Egypt is a decent game- I play it when low-rolling as I usually get small, frequent wins and bonus rounds. I am not a huge fan of the theme as I feel like there's already too many Ancient Egypt slots. But it's a good game if you like the special expanding symbol feature, and I think it definitely makes the slot more appealing.

The "Temple Of Philae" is mentioned by numerous ancient writers to be one of the burying places of Osiris. It was held in high reverence both by the Egyptians to the North and the Nubians (often referred to as "Ethiopians" in Greek) to the South. It was deemed profane for any but priests to dwell there and was accordingly sequestered and denominated "the Unapproachable" (Ancient Greek: ἄβατος).
