Slot Details

Tomb of Akhenaten is a video slot in a 5×3 format with 243 ways to win as default. Each of the symbol positions spins independently.  Throughout the gameplay, this can increase up to a 5×5 size with 3,125 bet ways. You can delve into Egyptian mythology on desktop, tablet or mobile from 0.10 to 100 credits per spin. The game has high volatility (9/10) with a default RTP of  96.09%. Alternatively, it can be offered in a DX1 version with 94.12% while using the bonus buy options will slightly increase the RTP value to 96.34% and 96.45% respectively.

The entrance to an ancient tomb is in the background to the imposing game window that will be set in motion every time the Sticky Win Respin feature is triggered. The Pharaoh is joined on the dynamic reels by some of the most powerful Egyptian gods while a suspenseful soundtrack dominated by ancient drums provides the main audio.

The pay symbols start at the low end with card royals from 10 through to A, awarding 0.5x to 1.2x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by five Egyptian god and goddesses – Bastet, Thoth, Sebek, Anubis, and Ra. Hit five across the reels to win 1.5x to 5x your stake. The game has two wilds – the intrepid explorer lady as the standard wild and the Pyramid Wild. The latter appears in Sticky Win Spins only and can turn other symbols wild. Lastly, the bust of Pharaoh Akhenaten acts as the scatter.

Tomb of Akhenaten Slot Features

Egypt is an immensely fertile ground for slot developers. The mysteries surrounding the ancient pyramids and the powerful gods have featured on hundreds if not thousands of games to date with no sign of abating. Nolimit City took us already on an Egyptian reel quest on Tomb of Nefertiti and is inviting us now to embark on another adventure through ancient mythology. Let’s see if the mighty deities will shower us with untold treasures.

Core to the gameplay is the dynamic reel set that can grow from its default 5×3 size with 243 ways up to a maximum 5×5 format with then 3,125 ways. As already mentioned, each reel position is spinning independently. Scoring a win will set it all in motion and trigger the Sticky Win Spins with three levels. On the first level, all 15 positions of the default 5×3 grid are held including the winning combo while a fourth row is added on top, creating a 5×4 format with 1,024 bet ways. Only the added row will spin and landing a new win or improving an existing one will trigger level 2. Row five is added for the maximum 3,125 bet ways and the process is repeated. Land or improve again a win and level three will activate, respinning all non-winning symbols to potentially further improve the win or existing ones held on the reels.

And there is more. If the win is improved on the first 2 levels, one of the new winning position on the added row will turn into a wild symbol on each level. Plus, the respin on the third level can potentially land Pyramid Wilds. Keep an eye on the pyramid displays above the reels, if the red bar stops on top then a Pyramid Wild is added to a random position on the reel below. They are spreading wilds which will transform all symbols above them on the same reel into wilds, except for standard wilds which will turn into an x2 wild. Scatters cannot be transformed. Payouts are evaluated once the Sticky Win Respin ends and the reels are reset to the default before the next spin starts.

Hitting three, four or five scatters in one spin sequence will trigger 8, 10 and 12 Akhenaten Free Spins respectively, which cannot be retriggered as such but any scatter landing during the feature will award +1 free spin. The Sticky Win Spin mechanic is identical to the base game except for each time a row is added the win multiplier is increased by x1, no limits. It will not reset in between spins and keep growing until the feature concludes.

Too impatient to wait for an organic trigger of the main event? Then the NoLimit Bonus Feature Buy button will be at your disposal to gain direct entry to the Free Spins round (restricted in some jurisdictions). It will cost you 65x and 105x your default bet for the 8 and 12 Akhenaten Free Spins respectively. In both cases, the game will start a spin and land 3 scatters for the first option and 5 scatters for the second. Any potential line wins on the triggering spin are added to the total win from the feature.

Final Verdict

Admittedly, I had to look up Wikipedia to find out who Akhenaten was. Turns out he was the tenth ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty in ancient Egypt and the predecessor to the more widely known Tutankhamun. He is now gracing the reels of Nolimit’s slot creation, a rather volatile game with a unique respin and expansion mechanic that can deliver mega wins of up to 26,261 times your bet, well worthy of the mighty Pharaoh.
