Secrets of the Tomb Slots
If we were to analyse and categorize hundreds of slots we have reviewed thus far, a very common category, second only to classic fruit slot machines, would be that of mythological and fantasy slots.
And, among all these mythological slots, Egypt-themed slots are the most prevalent by a long shot. With this in mind, it would be a touch too difficult for us to get excited about another one of these slots, but ‘Secrets of the Tomb’ does its best to turn around our lack of excitement on its head!
Enchantingly mysterious vibe, neat and easy gameplay, a host of special symbols and a range of bonus rounds – everything we expect of a good, entertaining slot is here. So, take a leap of faith and spin these antique reels to uncover the secrets of the royal tombs! Let us warn you, though – these secrets aren’t always pretty…
Deciphering the Looks
Well, the very first impression – especially that cryptic brand of background music used here – reminds one of some similar Egypt-themed slots like The Power of Ankh by Casino Technology.
But apart from these apparent similarities, Secrets of the Tomb somehow pulls off a unique blend of familiarity and surprise that’s bound to appeal to players who are worn out with thousands of slots that play and look exactly like one another. This slot has to come as a treat for those players who usually love playing 2x2 Gaming slots distributed by Leander Games.
Secrets of the Tomb features a mysterious, well-lit wall that could very well be the interior design of the famous tombs of Pharaohs. Basically, you are going to be taking your luck on in this highly thrilling setting with fitting music to go with it.
Sounds like your kind of fun? Well, if it does, read on to know more about how these secrets could be turned into cold, hard cash!
Paylines Galore
Let’s start off with some good news. Secrets of the Tomb features 30 well-stacked paylines that will define your total takeout with 5 standard reels. As you can notice, the reel to payline ratio here is around 0.17, much better than most small-cap slots we notice around the internet. Not only that, these paylines provide some richly fertile ground to put your stakes on. For each payline, players can wager a minimum of 1 cent and a maximum of $10 – all in the form of a single slot coin. This means that the total permissible betting range for Secrets of the Tomb is 1 cent to $300.
High rollers might be tempted by these numbers, but unfortunately, this slot just doesn’t seem to be up their alley. Let’s figure out the math.
Symbols of a Lost Age
All the symbols used here in Secrets of the Tomb bring out the Egyptian culture, mythology and history in a vivid way (perhaps, except for the basic card symbols that just seem to be incoherent with the scheme of things).
The basic gameplay can yield a maximum of 300 coins (up to $3,000 – not bad at all, eh?!) for 5-on-5 combinations involving the golden sphinx. The jackpot symbol is the logo of the slot, and its 5-of-a-kind combinations yield a sizeable loot of 1,000 coins (up to $10,000).
The Pharaoh symbol plays the wild (with no exceptional powers to speak of) while the scatter is played by a mystique, glowing mummy in a tomb. The wild can substitute for all regular symbols, allowing you to wiggle out of sour, non-paying combos. Keep in mind though – the wild can appear only on non-terminal reels (2, 3, 4 and 5). So, wish your luck to strike it good on those! A minimum of 3 scatters are required to trigger a free spin round, which can be regenerated once within another free spin round.
A little deft touch is given to the whole slot by 2x2 in the form of Mystery Stack symbol. It is replaced by random every symbol on a given reel (except for the wild and the scatter), making it easier for you reach lucrative combos.
Tomb Raider
Secrets of the Tomb never promises to be exceptionally good, and it remains within the limits it has set out for itself. What you can expect from this slot the first and the foremost is a great dose of pure entertainment, thrill and mystery. And of course, the payouts are welcome too! After all, who doesn’t like the chance to win a cool stash of $10,000 every now and then?
