Play’n GO has recently introduced their latest online slot game, Ankh of Anubis Awakening, promising players an engaging experience filled with excitement. This new 5-reel sequel slot takes players on a journey to a futuristic Egypt, where Anubis, the God of the Underworld, returns with enhanced powers to guide his kingdom towards reel glory.
Ankh of Anubis Awakening immerses players in a high-tech Egyptian setting situated along the Nile River. The game revolves around Anubis as he wields the power of the Ankh, encountering obstacles and discovering hidden treasures within the city.
Anubis Wilds
One of the key features of the game is the Anubis wilds, where players can experience the random activation of wilds during regular spins. These wilds are introduced to the reels, increasing the likelihood of forming winning combinations and intertwining the storyline with the gameplay mechanics.
Additionally, players have the opportunity to trigger the captivating hieroglyphic Anubis re-spins when both the Ankh and wild symbols land on non-winning spins. During the re-spins, all wilds are held in place on the reels and expand vertically to cover the entire reel, enhancing the potential for significant wins.
Free spins
To unlock free spins, players need to land three or more sandy scatter symbols on the reels. Depending on the number of scatters, players can earn up to 20 free spins. During the free spins round, collecting five Ankh symbols will grant players Anubis wilds on the reels, leading to the activation of Anubis re-spins for additional winning opportunities.
Fans of the original Ankh of Anubis are likely to appreciate this sequel, as will players who enjoyed other top titles like Oasis of Dead, Pilgrim of Dead, and Scroll of Seth. The game’s state-of-the-art graphics and dynamic animations deliver a visually striking experience that seamlessly blends ancient mythology with futuristic elements, capturing the magic of Anubis’ realm.
Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, Magnus Wallentin, said:
Ankh of Anubis Awakening takes the excitement of our Egyptian-themed slots to new heights.
With innovative features like Anubis Wilds and Anubis Re-Spins, this game offers players an electrifying gameplay experience.”
Review Overview
Summary
Ankh of Anubis Awakening joins its namesake in the catalogue of Egypt themes available. The 5 reels are in a 3-4-4-4-3 pattern so 576-ways are in play with stacked symbols and 5-of-a-kind pays of 25x Wild then 10x down to 0.3x for the remainder of the symbols. Anubis's Power can randomly add 4-8 Wilds to the grid and the Anubis respin occurs on a non-winning spin where the Wild is present along with a scatter, then the Wild expands to full reel and awards a number of respins according to how many rows it expanded. Three scatters award 10 free games with 3 to 5 landing during them adding that amount of extra spins. You still get the Anubis respin but now every 5 scatters collected adds more Wilds to the reels via the meter above them. A game you may need awakening from as well as the Anubis.
