Egyptian Heroes ™ from NetEnt: Slot Review

If you’ve been holding out for an Egyptian hero, then this game is for you! Expanding wilds, a Golden Bet Line and Free Spins Feature make for a tomb-tastic ride!

Egyptian Heroes™ Overview

Ok, so this isn’t the most original theme for a slot game.  Travel back to ancient Egypt on the hunt for untold treasures, yep, we’ve seen and heard this story many times before. But to give NetEnt their due, they have incorporated plenty of unique features to really bring this game to life.

One such feature is their Golden Bet Line, which gives you a multiplier on any winnings in the chosen payline. At the start of each spin, a random payline will be indicated by a golden line. If you land a winning combination on the chosen payline, you will receive a multiplier of anything from 2x up to 5x! Along with sticky expanded wilds, scatters and free spins, this game is looking better and better! We can only hope that some of their gods bestow upon us some wealth and riches!

Game Design

The structure of this game is quite simple, and it’s one that any regular casino goer will be very familiar with. There isn’t too much to confuse us here so if you want a simple game to get stuck into when time is short, then Egyptian Heroes makes a wise choice.

The five reel, 3 row set up features 20 paylines. Each of the reels depicts a variety of Egyptian inspired symbols including various gods, each with their own set of powers to grant us some good fortune (we hope!).

Ra, the God of Sun is the guy we all want to see as he brings with him the most money. Five of them on an activate payline will award a very decent 2000x your stake. The good news is a winning combination can occur with just two or more identical symbols on an active payline.

Game Controls

The game allows you to play from £0.20 a spin right up to £100 per spin (when playing on all 20 paylines). The coin value can be adjusted and then the level using the +/- buttons below the reels.

The level x the coin value will be the amount of your stake per active payline. The active paylines on this game can also be adjusted so you can play all 20 lines or take it down to just one if you wish. The more paylines you play will increase the RTP. Find a level that suits you and set yourself a fixed budget so you won’t be tempted to go over it.

Game Features

• Golden Bet Line Multiplier – Ahead of each spin a randomly chosen payline will be indicated with a golden line. Any wins appearing on this line will be awarded a multiplier of x2 up to x5.
• Wild – can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. It will expand to cover the entire reel completing any winning bet lines.
• Scatter – appears as the Pharaoh symbol in both the main game and free spins feature. 3 or more will trigger the free spins feature and further Scatters can also appear during free spins to award further spins. Spins are awarded as follows:
  • 3 Scatters = 10 Free Spins
  • 4 Scatters = 15 Free Spins
  • 5 Scatters = 20 Free Spins
• Sticky Expanding Wild – during the free spins feature, the Sticky Expanded Wild will cover reel 3 entirely creating more chances at some winning combinations.

Egyptian Heroes™ Verdict

Egyptian Heroes is full of hidden treasures. This high variance slot can provide some small wins, but if you can get to the free spins feature, this is where most of the decent wins can occur. Hopefully, we won’t need to provide any sacrifices to collect our winnings on this game either!
