Ankh of Anubis

There’s no denying ancient Egypt has style. It has an iconic look that remains popular to this day. But as much as we like it, sometimes we want something different. It seems Play’n Go have heard our request, and delivered in a big way!

One look at this slot, and you’ll see a mixture of ancient and futuristic. Sail ships slowly floating down the Nile, while high tech planes zoom through the skies. If that large planet in the background is any indicator, Egypt is hosting some alien guests.

Ankh of Anubis Slot Review

The game is played on an unorthodox five reel board, with 576 ways to win. We have to admit, the visuals are super impressive. Everyone’s heard the theory that ancient aliens built Egypt’s pyramids. But seeing someone make a whole release out of the idea wasn’t something we expected! The visuals are top notch, but left vague enough to let your imagination run wild. This is stellar work from the developers!

Even the symbol designs carry the same mystery vibe. They’re obviously inspired by ancient Egyptian styles. But the materials they’re made of look way too modern to actually be from old Egypt. Just look at high tech Anubis or the mysterious pyramid Scatter! We feel it’s a missed opportunity that these icons don’t have high tech animations. Ankhs could show a holographic keyboard, scarabs could open up like a wallet. How awesome would that be?

And while we want to keep raving about the graphics, this is still a slot. So we reluctantly move away from the mystery of Egyptians and aliens to focus on Ankh of Anubis’ special features. This game is far from feature heavy. It has two bonuses. First are randomly appearing Wilds during regular gameplay, which increase your chance of winning. Second are free spins, with collectable ankhs to add Wilds to the reels.

How to Play Ankh of Anubis

You play this Play’n Go release on a 3-4-4-4-3 playing field, with 576 ways to win. It’s more distinct than the typical 5×3 board we’re used to, that’s for sure. You can wager between $0.10 and $100 on each spin, which is a standard betting spread for this developer. What’s not so standard is the maximum win you can take home; a whopping 15,000x your total stake!

Bonus Features

Before exploring this futuristic ancient world, get familiar with its two special features. Here’s how they work:

• Anubis Wilds

At random times, Anubis will wake up from his slumber, and create a bunch of Wilds on the playing field. These Wilds appear in random position. They can appear as a regular one symbol Wild, or can extend into two, three and even four icon tall Wilds! Wilds cannot randomly occur during free spins; for that, you need to collect ankhs.

• Free Spins

Collect three, four or five Scatters to get ten, fifteen or twenty free spins, respectively. If you land three, four or five Scatters while free spins are already running, you get three, four or five extra turns, respectively. There’s no limit on how many times you can retrigger this special feature, either! During free spins, ankhs will appear on the board. When you collect five ankhs, it will add Anubis Wilds to the reels.
