Slot Details

Golden Glyph 2 is a 7×7 cascading grid slot, with wins paid for clusters of 5 or more matching symbols. Your return to Ancient Egypt starts from 0.20 to 100 credits per spin on desktop, tablet or mobile. The game has a volatility rating of 4 out of 5 and an RTP of 96.09%. You can also bonus buy straight to the free spins round.

This time, Golden Glyph 2 takes you away from the city and into the barren desert, to a mysterious place of worship for Horus. The grid is formed across a stone tablet similar to the original, laced with gold and set between obelisks. A dramatic score of Egyptian-themed music is produced as professionally as the visuals, something Quickspin has become known for when it comes to crafting online slots.

The pay symbols start at the low end with water, eye, snake and ankh awarding from 7.5x to 18x your bet for clusters of 15 or more. The blue Pharoah, Queen of Eqypt in green and red Horus pay from 75x to 150x your stake for 15 or more symbols in a cluster. The golden wings of Horus make up the wild and Gigantic Wild that substitutes for all symbols except the Power Glyph (represented by a cloudy blue gemstone with gold surround), the Golden Glyph Wild (red gemstone with wings), and the scatters. Three or more golden-pyramid scatter symbols award the Golden Free Spins Bonus.

At the base of the play area, a track containing seven slots randomly selects six power-ups of either the Patterns of Horus or Golden Scarabs at the start of a spin. These modifiers lead the way before the seventh slot, containing a Gigantic Wild for the base game or a Golden Glyph Wild in the free spins.

Golden Glyph 2 Slot Features

With games packed full of features, like Golden Glyph 2, there is no better place to start than at the beginning. The basics are simple if you are familiar with cascading or tumbling grid slots; Winning clusters of five or more matching symbols disappear and create space for more symbols to tumble down into, which can lead to a sequence that builds a tally of wins, paying the total at the end. So far, so good?

In Golden Glyph 2, each winning cluster leaves a Power Glyph in one of the vacant locations. These act as wilds and when featured within a win removes and readies the first power-up on the track below. Power-ups can be queued and activate when no more winning clusters form at the end of a sequence, potentially jumpstarting the sequence into more wins and hopefully readying another power-up. Each spin starts with a mixture of six power-ups and/or golden scarabs queued on the track with a Gigantic Wild at the end. These modify the grid as detailed below:

• Golden Scarab – A golden scarab beetle flutters around the grid leaving 4 – 11 wilds in random positions.
• Patterns of Horus – Each pattern removes symbols in one of six shapes: Cross, Ankh, Bird, Eye, Hour Glass and Snake.
• Gigantic Wild – As the name suggests a 2×3 wild fills the grid.

Landing three or more scatters grants the Golden Free Spins Bonus. This time the power-up track exchanges the 7th position of the Gigantic Wild for a Golden Glyph. Golden Glyphs transfer into Golden Glyph Wilds; multiplier wilds starting at x1. Should they feature in a cluster win, the multiplier increases by one up to a maximum of x50. Values hold for the round and Golden Glyph Wilds do not tumble, staying in one position for the sequence until floating around, changing position with each new spin.

Completing the track releases another Golden Glyph Wild on the grid, with a possible maximum of four. Fifth completion onwards of the track awards an extra spin. The free spins can also retrigger five spins with 3 bonus scatters. The combination of Power Glyphs with Golden Glyph Wild/s and power-ups could lead to some lengthy sequences with some healthy potential.

Golden Glyph 2 also comes with Bonus Buy choices. You can buy the Golden Free Spins Bonus feature for 50x, 150x or 275x your stake, starting 7 free spins with 1, 2 or 3 Golden Glyph Wilds, with an RTP of 96.30%, 96.49% and 96.60% respectively.

Final Verdict

Golden Glyph 2 edges as a worthy successor to the original, improving on the gameplay, feel and hit rate. It is just unique enough to stand apart from the first with a couple of twists in the gigantic wilds, bonus scatters and power-ups. Fans of grid slots will enjoy the potential for lengthy chains of wins and with the right conditions, the bonus round could see some mega wins.
