Game setup for the Egyptian Heroes Slot
We can’t think of a NetEnt game that is hard to configure. All the options they have added over the years allow a veteran player to customise their experience for sure but, the stock settings work just fine for the novice. So it is on the Egyptian Heroes slot too. With 20 fixed pay-lines in play and NetEnt’s coin system to dictate your bets. Stake range is very generous on the Egyptian Heroes slot with a minimum bet of 0.20 credits and a maximum of 200. This is capped at 20 on many
free play sites but that doesn’t change the way the game plays or pays at all.
The auto-play feature on the Egyptian Heroes slot can be configured to stop at a certain loss or win amount, number of spins or, left to spin till the feature is triggered. All the options you can possibly need are catered for there and if you need to adjust graphics quality for older devices, speed up your spins or mute the music and effects independently, you can. Last but not least, the pay-lines highlight, this saves constant trips to the games pay-table and is something we wish all line based slots included.
Gameplay and Theme for the Egyptian Heroes Slot
Players in Europe who have been confined to Egyptian themed slots like the Book of Ra series will be pleased to note this game is much better both visually and audibly. The Egyptian Heroes slot might not quite have the wow factor of the top branded NetEnt titles or oddball themes like
EggOMatic but, it’s very well produced. All the main Egyptian gods feature as high pay symbols, the mighty Sphinx is the scatter and a great Pyramid is the wild. This ticks all the boxes for the icons of Egyptology and the music and effects are well tied into the theme too.
The entertainment factor is needed as, in the base game, there’s only really three ways to get paid well. The ‘high value’ symbols are very weak unless you hit a five of a kind set and the disparity is huge. Take the sun god Ra – four of a kind nets you 200 coins. Five of a kind? 4000 coins! The wild can help you as if it completes a winning bet line it expands to cover the whole reel, potentially completing other missed combinations. Sadly, though, as it only appears on reels 2-4 it has no coin wins of its own to add and nor does the scatter. Outside of a full symbol set or getting lucky with the wilds, to win big you will be focusing your attention on the golden bet line. Each spin one line is selected and offers up to a 5x multiplier if you catch a winning combination on it. Get lucky with this and the wild together and you can occasionally unearth some solid wins in the base game.
Wild Free Spins
The recipe for the free spins bonus feature on the Egyptian Heroes slot is simple but effective. You get 10-20 spins depending on how many scatters you collect and the golden line is still in play. The wilds, however, improve. With the middle reel hosting an
expanded wild for the whole duration of the free spins and any subsequent re-trigger. The re-triggers by the way, aren’t limited, so that initial 20 spins can become triple digits if you get very lucky. Mostly, though, with this game’s combination of medium variance and generous RTP, you’ll be hitting 20-50x your stake on a free spin round.
Summary
American players who follow this style will be frustrated that they can only enjoy the Egyptian Heroes slot for free play right now. To play an Egyptian slot game for real money will mean tackling something like Cleopatra’s Gold at an RTG site such as
High Noon Casino. For most of the rest of the world, where NetEnt is licensed, this is up there with the top cash slots in the Egyptian genre. It might well not have the pedigree that IGT’s Cleopatra or Novomatic’s Book of Ra series does but, honestly, it’s a much better game than both. For those not beloved of the theme, it won’t matter – as NetEnt themselves have far better games than this for both entertainment and gambling potential if you are prepared to expand your horizons beyond the Egyptian borders.
