The Geek Guide To Ancient Egyptian Slot Games

Everybody loves a bit of history. Whether it’s looking back a few hundred years or a few thousand, so many stories have shaped the modern world. And continue to do so. No wonder history is still an important lesson taught in schools. And of course, it’s also no wonder that, like some top movies, there are many slots based on history. One of the most popular themes to feature throughout the ages is that of Ancient Egypt.

But what’s so special about Ancient Egypt?

Where do we begin? We’re talking about the place where the pyramids were built, ancient structures that have stood the test of time. A time when gods like Osiris, Horus and Isis were praised.

Let’s not forget the many achievements for which Egypt is famed – quarrying and surveying techniques that helped build Egypt’s epic pyramids and temples. They also developed systems of mathematics and medicine and irrigation and agricultural techniques – see, the Romans didn’t invent everything.

Of course, we don’t see many slots based on irrigation techniques, but all the other themes make an appearance. We’re talking about the gods and famous figures now, not building work.

The best slots of Ancient Egypt

You don’t have to travel so far back to enjoy Ancient Egypt, as thanks to the wonderful world of slots, this time period spans across the ages. For instance, on the popular Rich Wilde slots such as Book of Dead, you get to join a hero on his quest for the hidden treasures of old Egypt. Rich Wilde is a popular slot mascot and no doubt you’ll see him feature at many online casinos, giving Lara Croft a run for her money. On this slot, you’ll be able to enjoy expanding scatters during your free spins, to really ramp up the opportunity to win Ancient Egyptian treasures.

It’s not just Rich Wilde who’s off exploring for lost fortunes; there’s also Jungle Jim as well. Another corny named hero, you’ll find that on Jungle Jim and the Lost Sphinx, amazing images of Ancient Egypt and the chance to win over 6,000 times your bet. This is made more possible with the avalanche reels feature, where symbols that form part of a winning combination explode, disappear and more symbols fall in from above.

Yggdrasil is a slot developer that’s known for putting its own spin (pun intended) on its slot. Cutting-edge graphics in a cartoon-type fashion make the games feel as if they belong on a video console rather than a tablet or computer. You’ll be able to see this for yourself on a slot like Valley of the Gods, which introduces you to the land of Egyptian gods. A unique game, this slot is played over 3,125 ways to win, which already puts you in a good place as you’ll have more chances to land winning combinations. As you play, you’ll have Anubis and Horus statues on the sides, the gods guiding you on the way to victory. When the free spins come into play, the statues come to life, and the deities reward you with a range of gifts, such as multipliers, extra lives, and respins on each winning spin.

If we’re going to talk about ancient Egypt, there’s one name that always comes up. Cleopatra. The Queen of Egypt. There are many places to play the Cleopatra slot game, an IGT slot that has stood the test of time, much like the pyramids, and is still hugely popular to play. When the slot was first created, it was done so for land-based casinos. It has always been a fan favourite, so it didn’t take long for it to make it to the online world. It features simple visuals and is easy to play, but when you combine this with the 15 free spins with 3x multipliers, which can be retriggered, you can spin your way towards 10,000x your stake.

Cleopatra must have a mystical hold over her appearance in slots, as it’s a similar story for Queen of the Nile, another land-based slot that eventually made it as an online slot. It is another easy slot to play; it comes with four different free spin features and multipliers, from 2x to 10x your stake. Use them wisely and you can win the maximum payout of 3,000 coins. It seems to have a lot in common with the Cleopatra slot, from it land-based origins to its position as an online slot classic.

The wonders of Ancient Egypt has given us lots of stories, themes, and a wealth of history. And we’re glad that slot developers have capitalised on this to give us some of the very best slots around.
