Fans of slots themed around ancient Egypt will be celebrating the launch of King Tut, an online casino game from DLV that comes with all the classic symbols associated with the topic. Scarab beetles, the ankh, a pharaohs’ mask and...

...the all-seeing eye will turn up over the five reels of this ten-payline slot machine. They haven’t forgotten the traditional pyramid symbol, as this is a special image that triggers a bonus feature.

Now, some players might think that the whole ancient Egyptian thing is over-done, but there’s clearly a huge demand for this sort of game.

SO...

...if you like the topic, then read on. If it’s not your favorite theme, don’t dismiss it right away, as the King Tut video slot has some hidden treasures buried within the gameplay. Free spins and wild substitutions can uncover some of these riches and like all slots from DLV, it comes with the option to double each prize over and over.

Theme

The most popular of all Egyptian queens is without a doubt Cleopatra, but when it comes to male rulers, there is no one as famous as Tutankhamun, colloquially known as King Tut.

In this title, Latvian software provider DLV is opening the doors to this pharaoh’s tomb. Discovered back in 1922, archeologists were able to find, beside monarch’s sarcophagus, over 5000 priceless artifacts that have been displayed in museums all over the world.

BUT…

…due to the mysterious circumstances under which several people involved in this historic discovery died, the story of the deadly curse started going around.

SO…

…are you brave enough to step into his mausoleum and face the consequences?!

Visually, this 5x3 slot features sharp graphics and is in line with the theme. However, the soundtrack is like from some early 90's arcade game and generic computer sound makes it a little less immersive.

Betting Options

This slot is mobile optimised. Crystal-clear graphics and smooth animations come as standard with DLV slot machines and King Tut is no exception. There’s a glimpse of huge statues behind the reels, which are overlaid with the control buttons. These buttons let you decide on bet size or get the game running on autopilot.

The non-progressive release is designed for punters playing on the budget with the biggest bet possible being 25 per spin. 1 credit can be set at 0.01, 0.02 or 0.05 and you can play with up to 50 coins per line.

Now let’s talk about dramatic symbols

Prizes of up to 1,000 coins are going to appeal to everyone no matter how experienced they may be.

Winning combinations are created when matching symbols stop across a payline, starting from the left-hand reel. The Egyptian style runs through all of the symbols, with even the 10, J, Q, K and Ace icons being covered in hieroglyphics.

The all-seeing eye and the ankh each pay prizes equal to 20x, 100x, or 400x the coin bet per line when it stops on three, four, or all five reels across a payline, with the scarab beetle paying a high limit of 500x.

The top prizes are yours when the pharaoh mask symbol is seen. If it lands on reels one and two, you get a consolation payout of just 10 coins, but a full run of five across any of the ten paylines will be worth 1,000 coins.

Wait! That’s not all!

A colorful snake symbol doesn’t actually pay out any direct prizes…

...but it can act as all others, apart from the pyramids to complete combinations. If you have a gap in a run of matching symbols and the snake is in the right place to fill it, you still get paid for a win. It’s also got the power to stretch a win further across a line, which means that you claim a higher prize.

Another feature that will be very familiar to some…

...is a scatter symbol triggering free spins. Like so many similar slots before it, this game uses the pyramids to complete this task and any three or more scatters, in any place on the reels, will start the bonus games.

Special Features

Ten free spins will then play out, with no need for you to do anything during them. Once again, this is a fairly common feature and while some slot machines offer special combinations of symbols or extra winning potential during their bonus games, the ones here are played on standard reels. It might not have all the bells and whistles that other games feature, but bonus rounds such as this are a good way to collect some extra prizes at no risk to your own bankroll.

In addition, there is a Gamble Feature!

King Tut has an ace up its sleeve though, as you can choose to gamble any win, doubling the prize if you correctly guess the color of a face-down playing card. If you get it right, you can either cash out the win or try to double it again, over and over until the gamble high limit is reached.

Any wrong picks will lose the gamble, with both the original win and any gains made so far in the round being lost, so tread carefully.

Our Take

The Egyptian gaming pantheon is one of the richest on the video slots scene. Players from all over the world enjoy spinning the reels inspired by this long-gone empire. So, this release is going against a very strong group of competitors.

Although not the most innovative of games, its simplicity is probably also its biggest asset. If you're looking for straightforward and low budget gameplay, King Tut is the perfect answer.
