The Mummy Books of Amun Ra

The Mummy Books of Amun Ra is an Egyptian-themed slot game developed by Playtech. The game draws inspiration from the popular movie franchise “The Mummy,” incorporating characters and elements from the films into its design. The slot is set inside a pyramid, with the reels displayed against this ancient backdrop.

This slot is a sequel to Playtech's original “The Mummy” slot game. While the predecessor focused on the basic elements of The Mummy theme, this new iteration expands on the concept by introducing character-specific bonus rounds and improved graphics. The Mummy Books of Amun Ra is part of Playtech's movie-themed slot series, which adapts popular films into engaging slot games.

Core Game Mechanics

The Mummy Books of Amun Ra features a standard 5-reel, 3-row layout with 10 paylines. Players can adjust their bets from a minimum of 0.10 coins to a maximum of 25.00 coins per payline, allowing for a total max bet of 250.00 coins per spin.

The game's symbols include lower-paying card ranks (J, Q, K, A) and higher-paying themed symbols such as vases, bracelets, scarab beetles, and character portraits. The highest-paying regular symbol is Rick O'Connell, offering a 500x multiplier for five on a payline.

The slot has a high volatility, meaning wins be less frequent but potentially more substantial when they occur. With an RTP (Return to Player) of 95.97%, it sits close to the industry average for online slots.

Bonus Features

Wild Symbol: The book icon serves as both the wild and scatter symbol. As a wild, it substitutes for all other regular symbols to help form winning combinations.

Free Spins: Landing three or more book scatter symbols triggers the free spins round. The number of scatters also awards a multiplier on the total bet:

• 3 scatters: 2x multiplier
• 4 scatters: 20x multiplier
• 5 scatters: 200x multiplier

Upon triggering free spins, players can choose from five different character-based features:

• Rick O'Connell: 10 free spins with a special expanding symbol chosen at the start. This symbol pays anywhere on the reels, like a scatter. The feature can retrigger up to 100 free spins.
• The Scorpion King: 8 free spins with an expanding symbol. Each retrigger adds another expanding symbol and 8 more free spins.
• Imhotep: 12 free spins with the J symbol as the initial expanding symbol. Each win removes the current expanding symbol, promoting the next symbol in line to become the new expanding icon. Three or more scatters award 3 extra spins, up to a maximum of 100.
• Anck-Su-Namun: 8 free spins with an expanding symbol that appears stacked on every spin. This feature cannot be retriggered.
• Evelyn O'Connell: 4 free spins with a random expanding symbol. Two additional book symbols increase the grid by one row and award an extra spin. Three more book symbols add another row and four more free spins. The grid can expand up to three extra rows, potentially offering 16 paylines.

The most intriguing aspect of The Mummy Books of Amun Ra is its character-specific free spins rounds. This feature not only adds variety to the gameplay but also allows players to choose a bonus round that suits their preferred volatility and playstyle. The Evelyn O'Connell feature, in particular, stands out for its unique grid expansion mechanic, which can significantly increase the number of paylines during the bonus round.
