Don't let the name Ancient Egypt Classic fool you because this game, produced by Pragmatic Play, is actually a video slot. Instead, the name is indicative of the fact that this game pays tribute to the Egyptian sub-genre of slots that has been popular for decades. The graphics are definitely more up to date than most of the titles in the genre as a whole, and you'll find that the gameplay is pretty strong as well.

We do need to point out a few things on the gameplay side, however. First and foremost, this is not a high-volatility game, so if that's your preferred play style, then you will probably want to find something else to enjoy. Second, the hit-rate is pretty high in this title, so you may want to increase your bet size a little beyond what you'd normally wager to take advantage of the fact that the swings are minimal compared to other slots.

Game Format and Layout

The layout here uses 10 paylines that are static. They stretch from left to right only across a set of five vertical reels with three symbols on each reel. You can adjust the betting by changing how many coins are used on each of those ten paylines, but you can also change how much each individual coin is worth, so you get a ton of customization.

Coins go from $0.01 to $1 apiece, and you can wager one to ten coins on each line. Along these lines, the minimum bet per spin is $0.10, and the maximum is $100 per turn. That's a pretty solid spread that should accommodate just about any player at any level of stakes.

Wild Payouts

The golden scarab is the wild symbol in this game. It'll give you wins on paylines based on getting wild combinations, but only the highest-paying win is given for each of the 10 paylines. You'll get 500x for five of a kind of this symbol or 100x for four of a kind. Your win will be worth 10x when you line up three, and two of a kind is worth a solid 1x win.

We want to point out that all of the wins that we are going to describe here come in the form of multiples of your total bet size as well.

Scattered Wins and Prizes

You can get wins for the scarab symbol as a scatter as well, and these are calculated separately from any line bet wins, which means the same set of symbols can give you multiple wins. You'll earn a 200x win for five of these located anywhere on the game board, and four of a kind gets you a 20x win as well. For just three, you'll earn 2x, but keep in mind that these can show up anywhere on the grid for a payout and that they do not have to land on any certain reels or positions to win.

Expanding Symbols and Free Spins

You'll get a chance to enjoy some expanding symbols during the free spins mode. Players will be given 10 free spins to start with after getting a minimum of three scatters on the reels at once. During these free spins, a random symbol is chosen to be an expanding symbol. The way this works is that after each spin's payouts are given as usual, those symbols expand to give you chances to run up even more wins. This is a smart way to add value to the feature, and it's compounded by the fact that you can re-trigger this feature repeatedly as well.

Big Hits and Important Wins

The best payout in this game is five of a kind for Cleopatra, which is the same as five of the wild symbols on a payline win (but not a scatter win). You'll earn 200x for five of the jackal in purple, and the green ankh symbol earns you 75x for five. The eye of Ra also pays 75x for five, and all four of these symbols award wins for two of a kind combinations or more, which lends itself to a pretty high hit-rate.

The five card rank symbols offer wins ranging from 15x to 10x. This includes the red A, orange K, purple Q, blue J and green 10 symbols. The pay table is pretty balanced overall, and you can really tell it from how the payouts step down gradually instead of just falling off a cliff after the top wins.

In Summary

We'll say right out of the gate that this game isn't for everyone. It definitely has a bit of a throwback feel with the focus on paying homage to Egyptian-themed video slots. With that having been said, the Ancient Egypt Classic slot by Pragmatic Play is better than most in the sub-genre, and its smart mix of features combined with fast-paced gameplay offers the type of experience a lot of players would love to have.
