egypt megaways slot THEME, STAKES, PAYS & SYMBOLS

Every time I write a review of an Egypt-themed online slot, I can’t help but mention just how prolific these games are nowadays. The fact that I have already mentioned this in two previous reviews during the past week demonstrates this point remarkably well, don’t you think? There’s nothing wrong with re-using a good theme, of course, but I do believe that developers have started to become lazy when it comes to overusing this particular backdrop – try picking two or three examples from our review library and comparing the symbols and graphical styles used in each of them, I’ll bet there wasn’t much difference! There’s also the iterative aspect of this as too – Legacy of Egypt, Book of Dead, Legacy of Dead; we’ll probably get a Book of Egypt as well soon! In the case of this release (Egypt Megaways) – it's not a bad-looking game by any means, but it doesn’t serve to add anything new to an already overcrowded genre.

The highest-paying symbol on the paytable is the Ankh, offering 5x the total bet for a full payway of six of a kind. The snake is worth 2x when all six symbols land on the reels, whilst the fan, scroll, and dagger have returns of 1.5x, 1.2x, and 1x the total bet, respectively. These are obviously not impressive payouts, although that’s perhaps par for the course whenever you have a game with the potential to land 117,649 occurrences of the same six of a kind symbol combination! The low pays are so worthless that they barely even deserve mentioning – just 0.4x the bet for six tens, with a maximum of 0.8x on offer for six aces.

I’m not sure what’s going on with the betting limits on Red Tiger’s recent slot releases – Egypt Megaways has minimum/maximum bets of just €0.10 and €2.00, respectively. This could be pre-empting the likely imposition of a £2.00 online slots bet limit for UKGC-licensed casinos in the near future, although it fairness that limit is much more likely to be £5.

base game & modifiers

It’s getting quite tricky to find interesting ways to explain the basic gameplay of new Megaways releases these days. There are so few differences between most of them that it could end up becoming a meme in the near future. Egypt Megaways has all the usual mechanics – six reels of up to seven rows each, a maximum of 117,649 Megaways, payouts for three or more symbols starting from the left, you know the drill.

egypt megaways slot bonus features

As with many other Red Tiger releases, all six of the reels contain scatter symbols in Egypt Megaways, but there doesn’t seem to be any benefit to hitting more than three of these as far as the bonus round is concerned. Even just a small additional cash premium for hitting more than three scatters would have been a welcome change here.
