Is that Cleopatra? Is that the Eye of Ra? Are those hieroglyphics? Could this be another online slot based on the legends and gods of the pharaohs? Well it certainly could and it is – it’s called Ancient Egypt, it’s developed by Pragmatic Play and you can find out how it all works below.
Ancient Egypt is a five reel slot with three rows and ten fixed paylines; an attractive and inlaid gold frame surrounds those reels while in the background purple pillars are adorned with hieroglyphics illuminated by firelight.
The high value symbols include Cleopatra, Anubis, an golden ankh and a symbol representing the Eye of Ra; 10, J, Q, K and A make up the lower values.
The golden scarab beetle is both the wild and the scatter symbol and it will replace all others to help form winning combinations.
