Immersive Theme and User Experience
How to Play Ancient Secrets
- Tap the spin button to set the reels in motion.
- Land three or more identical symbols on a payline to win—except for the explorer, who pays out with just two.
- Payouts always start from the left and follow the paytable.
- Only your highest win per payline is paid, so no splitting the riches.
Symbols and Payout Table
- High-Value Symbols: The explorer (the top earner), Sphinx, Eye of Horus, and Cross. Landing five explorers nets you 50x your bet, while five Sphinxes deliver 25x. The Eye of Horus and Cross each pay 20x for a five-of-a-kind.
- Low-Value Symbols: The classic card values—A, K, Q, J, and 10—stylized to match the Egyptian theme. Five Aces or Kings pay 10x your bet, while five of the others will earn you 5x.
- Wild symbol: Anubis serves as the Wild, stepping in to replace any symbol (except Scatter) and help complete winning combos. During bonus rounds, the Wild can also stack up for even bigger wins.
- Scatter symbol: Tutankhamun is your Scatter, and he’s the key to unlocking Free Spins when enough land on the reels.
Bonus Features and Special Mechanics
- Free Spins: Land at least three Tutankhamun Scatters and you’ll trigger up to 12 Free Spins. In this bonus round, both the Wild (Anubis) and the explorer show up stacked, opening the door to hefty wins. And yes, you can retrigger more Free Spins if luck is on your side.
- Gamble Feature: Feeling lucky? After any base game win, you can take a shot at the Gamble feature. Guess the color of a hidden card—red or black—and if you’re right, your winnings double. Guess wrong, and you’ll lose your prize for that spin. It’s double or nothing, Vegas style.
- Stacked Symbols: Both explorer and Wild symbols can appear stacked—especially during Free Spins—giving you a real shot at landing those screen-filling combos.
