Venture deep into the ancient tomb and find the treasures hidden inside this entertaining 3×3 slot

Intrepid players are being given the chance to venture back in time to a land ruled by the great Pharaohs where they can uncover relics, treasures and big wins in Gold of Egypt, the latest slot from Silverback Gaming.

In Gold of Egypt, players find themselves in a hot and arid desert at the entrance to a secret tomb. As the reels spin, ancient symbols land on the reels including a Cat, Snake, Scorpion and Scarab, as well as different hieroglyphics.

The aim of the game is to spin the reels and hunt down the relics, which trigger the bonus features. This includes Mystical Relics and Golden Relics with Respins and Wilds also in play.

There are four Mystical Relics in total (Cat, Snake, Scorpion and Scarab) that land in the base game. Depending on the Mystical Relic that lands, players are taken to a special mini game where they can discover some of the tomb’s most spectacular treasures.

Scarab Game – reels one and three are Tall Wilds with reel two spinning once for a win combination to potentially occur.

Cat Game – players get between two and ten Respins, with a Tall Wild covering reel two. Reels one and three then spin with a guaranteed win.

Scorpion Game – the reels keep respinning until a win occurs with the win then combined with a Random Multiplier of between 10x and 30x.

Snake Game – extra Respins are awarded with two to nine Random Wilds covering different reel positions. The Respins keep coming until a winning combo lands.

The rare Golden Relics are powerful and help players discover the game’s biggest wins. There are three types – Mini, Major and Grand – with each bringing its own Win Multiplier of 30x, 100x and 300x respectively.

But the tomb has more to give to those who dare the explore its deepest depths with spectacular Wilds also in play. Again, there are different types of Wild including Standard, Double and Tall, each helping form more win combinations in their own way.

Gold of Egypt is set across three reels and three rows with 9 paylines active in the base game. The RTP is set at 96.06 % and the max win potential is 2120x.

As with all Silverback Gaming slots, it has been certified for launch in core European markets such as Italy and Malta as well as North American markets including Ontario, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

“Relics and Respins are key to discovering the game’s most valuable treasures, with each Relic triggering a mini-game that promises to get pulses racing as players find themselves going deeper and deeper into the tomb towards the max win potential.
