Egypt Bonanza

Egypt Bonanza is an online slot game developed by Fa Chai Gaming, released on April 1, 2024. This game brings a fresh perspective to the popular Egyptian theme, combining classic elements with innovative features and stunning visuals.

The slot is set against the backdrop of ancient Egypt, with a focus on the god Anubis. The game's aesthetics are rich and detailed, featuring high-quality graphics that bring the ancient Egyptian world to life. Anubis, the Egyptian god of death and the afterlife, plays a central role in the game, interacting with the grid and influencing gameplay.

Core Game Mechanics

Egypt Bonanza features a 6-reel, 5-row grid with a Pay Anywhere mechanic. This means that 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels result in a win. The game uses a cascading reels system, where winning symbols disappear and are replaced by new ones, potentially creating multiple wins in a single spin.

The symbol set is divided into high-value and low-value categories. High-value symbols include two Egyptian gods and two artifacts, paying between 1.5x to 50x the bet for 8 to 30 symbols in view. Low-value symbols are represented by five multicolored gems, awarding up to 10x the total stake.

The betting range starts at €0.80 per spin and can go up to €150, making it more suitable for medium to high rollers. The game boasts a high Return to Player (RTP) of 96.50% and is classified as having medium to high volatility.

Bonus Features

1. Cascading Reels and Pay Anywhere: After each win, the Tumble feature activates. Winning symbols disappear, allowing symbols above to fall into empty spaces and new symbols to appear at the top. This process can repeat multiple times in a single round, potentially leading to consecutive wins.
2. Respin Feature: When 3 or more scatter symbols land, a Respin is triggered. This feature aims to add the missing scatter symbol or upgrade the bonus feature, providing a second chance to enter the main bonus game.
3. Free Spins: Four or more scatter symbols trigger the Free Spins bonus. Players receive 10 free spins for four scatters, with each additional scatter adding 5 extra spins. The bonus can be retriggered during the feature, with a maximum cap of 100 free spins.

During Free Spins, special Multiplier symbols appear in red, purple, green, and blue. These symbols carry random multipliers ranging from 2x to 100x, which are applied to the total round wins. Unlike some other slots, these multipliers are collectible and not wasted if there are no regular wins during the spin.

Unused Multipliers are summed up and stored in a Total Multiplier, displayed in the top right corner of the screen. This Total Multiplier is applied to the next spin with a regular payout, adding an extra layer of excitement and potential for big wins.

4. Extra Bet and Bonus Buy: The Extra Bet feature allows players to reduce the number of scatters required to trigger the bonus from 4 to 3, in exchange for a 50% increase in the base bet. This feature also applies during the Free Spins bonus.

Alternatively, players can use the Bonus Buy feature to instantly access the Free Spins bonus. Two options are available:

• General Bonus Buy: 60x the bet, with multipliers from 2x to 100x
• Upgrade Bonus Buy: 120x the bet, with multipliers from 10x to 100x

Unique Feature

One of the most interesting aspects of Egypt Bonanza is its innovative approach to multipliers during the Free Spins bonus. Unlike many slots where multipliers are only applied to winning spins, this game allows unused multipliers to accumulate in a Total Multiplier. This feature adds an extra layer of anticipation and potential for significant wins, as players can see their multiplier grow even during non-winning spins.
