Play’n GO has really outdone itself with this one. Ankh of Anubis is an innovative slot that was released at the tail end of 2019. It sports an Egyptian theme, as one can guess from the name if they have an inkling of Egyptian culture. The most important piece in this game is Anubis, the God of death.

The grid of Ankh of Anubis is quite intriguing. It starts and ends with a reel consisting of 3 positions for symbols to land, while the middle 3 each have 4 positions. Making a total of 5 reels. There are 576 ways to land a winning combination and an attractive RTP of 96.20%.

Betting ranges are also very flexible, starting from as little as $0.10. The wagers can go all the way up to $100, thus making it possible for both casual players and high rollers to enjoy the possibility of bagging 15,000x the stake. That has got to be the highest potential win in a slot that Play’n GO has released.

Theme

Ankh of Anubis is yet another Egyptian slot. However, we are definitely not sick of the sight when we see this one. It is full of intriguing and innovative features and pretty Egyptian-themed animations. The symbols are all sticking with the theme as well, including a Scarab and Anubis himself.

The gameboard is a pleasant brown color and is plastered with hieroglyphs to suit the theme. In the background, players will see pyramids and other various structures just before a sandy beach. Of course, after the beach comes the sea. There are also cute little sailboats going back and forth.

Symbols

Ankh of Anubis slot has 8 symbols in the payout table. The low-paying ones are depicted as playing card face values J, Q, K, and A. However, the ones you will want to land on your screen are the high-paying ones. They are depicted as a winged amulet, an Egyptian-style bracelet, a scarab, and the ankh.

There are also another 2 icons that you will encounter on the reels – the Wild and the Scatter. The Wild is represented by Anubis himself and has the power to substitute other symbols on the grid to better and create winning combinations. He can not stand in for the Scatter, though. The Scatter is a pyramid and is the key to unlocking free spins.

Winning Combinations and Jackpots

Players can form winning combinations on the board 576 ways. Payouts start from just 3 icons on an active bet way, and all wins pay from the leftmost reel to the rightmost.

Landing 5 of a kind of the J or Q will result in a payout of 0.3x the stake, while the K and A award 0.6x the bet. If you see the winged amulet or the bracelet appear 5 times simultaneously on the grid, you will win 1.5x the bet. The Scarab gives a payout of 2.5x the wager if you land 5 on a payline, while the most rewarding, the ankh, will give you 5x the bet for a winning combination of 5.

Wild symbols also offer a reward if you manage to land 5 on a bet way. The prize for a Wild Win is 10x the bet, the most attractive payout from the game. Other than that, the Wild substitutes other icons on the board, except for the Scatter.

The Scatter symbol is the way to getting free spins. If 3 or more land on the screen in any position, you will be granted bonus rounds at the same bet that triggered the feature. For 3, 4, or 5, players can expect 3, 4, or 5 additional spins, respectively. You can also re-trigger the function without a cap on the number of free spins.

But the fun does not end there. Every ankh symbol that lands on the reels during free spins will be collected. For every group of 5 ankhs collected, Anubis will randomly add Wilds to the gameboard.

Another fun feature in this game is that the Anubis Wilds have a strange but rewarding power. The power will randomly activate throughout the gameplay and adds more Wilds to the reels, distributing them randomly. This fun feature allows players to better and improve their winning combinations on the board, thus bringing the maximum potential win of 15,000x the stake even closer.

With all said and done, Ankh of Anubis is quite an intriguing slot. Players who invest in this title are sure to enjoy the colorful animations, crisp graphics, and engaging sound effects that are incorporated into the works of the game.
