Game Overview

Slot provider Hacksaw Gaming is quickly becoming one of my favourite developers, simply because every slot this highly talented studio has released recently has left me mightily impressed. Many other brands often release slots for the sake of it, with some doing well and others flopping terribly. Hacksaw, however, has a consistency and passion for delivering excellence that others should aspire to, and that is why I’m already confident I’ll enjoy this slot before I’ve even opened the demo. Anyway, let’s get into it. Cursed Crypt is a 5×4 slot that has 1,024 ways to win, a 10,000x max win, and a 96.22% RTP.

If you’ve played Hacksaw slots before, you probably already know what to expect: multiple features, bonus games, and a menu that allows you to order bonus rounds as if it were dinner time at a fancy restaurant. Before I get into those later in our review, I want to make a remark on the theme and the graphics that depict it. It’s an ancient Egypt-themed slot, but before you all moan and groan like I usually do when I hear those words, it’s not like any other. This is gritty and scary, and the production levels are fantastic!

I’ll tell you now, no Indiana Jones wannabe is taking his chances in these tombs, so it’s all down to you to brave them on your own. If you have the minerals, check out the Cursed Crypt slot demo below.

I know I’ve harped on about my recent Hacksaw Gaming crush more than enough, but I felt I should justify some of my claims. Play a few spins on our Wanted Dead or a Wild demo, Feel the Beat, the 2 Wild to Die demo and Le Bandit free play slot, and tell me they’re not all high-quality releases with engaging gameplay. Slayers INC is another I’ve recently reviewed, and that offers a 15,000x max win, three bonus games, and the entertaining DuelReels mechanic, which, combined, deliver yet another top gaming experience.

Back to Cursed Crypt, and more specifically, the symbol payouts it can offer. Ra is the top-paying symbol and returns 15x the stake if five land on consecutive reels. Sobek comes next, with a 10x reward, followed by Horus, which offers a maximum of 7.5x, Anubis worth 5x, and Sekhmet can land you up to 3x. The five hieroglyphic symbols represent the smaller payouts, and each delivers 1x for a winning combination of five.

Hacksaw Gaming sticks to its tried and tested staking structure on Cursed Crypt, with the minimum price to play starting at just €0.20 a spin, with high rollers having the option to spin up to €100 a press.

Cursed Crypt Slot Base Game & Modifiers

There are 1,024 ways to win to aim for across a 5-reel and 4-row reel configuration on Cursed Crypt, and the pays are awarded once you line up three or more matching symbols on consecutive reels – beginning from the leftmost reel first.

Cursed Reels

It’s not often that anyone wants to see a curse in action, but in this slot, you definitely do. Whenever the Cursed symbol appears on the reels, the curse spreads up through the symbols above, turning them into the same random regular symbol.

Cursed Crypt Slot Bonus Features

Two bonus rounds can be triggered on Hacksaw’s Cursed Crypt slot, and we’re about to reveal what these are and exactly what you can expect from each one.

Wrath Of Sobek Free Spins Feature

If you land three scatter symbols, you trigger the Wrath of Sobek, a free spins round with an increased chance of landing Cursed symbols. If you land another three or four scatters during this feature, you receive an additional two or four free spins, respectively.

Tomb Of Tutankhamun

Four scatters again deliver 10 free spins, but this time on a bonus game that promises only high-value regular symbols that appear as a result of those affected by the Cursed symbol. As in the last free spins bonus, you’ll get additional free spins when 2 or 3 scatters appear on the same spin.

Bonus Buy

Hacksaw Gaming once again offers a suite of buy bonus features:

  • BonusHunt FeatureSpins: For 3x your current bet, spins are five times more likely to trigger a bonus game.
  • Curse of Three FeatureSpins: 40x gets you spins with at least three guaranteed cursed symbols.
  • Curse of Five FeatureSpins: For 100x, every spin delivers a minimum of five cursed symbols.
  • Wrath of Sobek Bonus: It costs 100x your current stake to purchase this bonus game.
  • Tomb of Tutankhamun Bonus: 200x gets you the better free spins bonus.

Pros

  • A Buy Bonus fan’s dream.
  • Ancient Egypt like you’ve never seen before.

Cons

  • The cursed reels might not appeal to everyone.

Cursed Crypt Slot Review Final Thoughts

We've seen Hacksaw Gaming take us through the darker side of Egypt in the past with their Hand of Anubis slot, and the Cursed Crypt again showcases what the developer is capable of with fantastic artwork and a spooky theme.We'll have to wait and see whether the cursed reels feature appeals to the masses, but at least for a slot game with an Egyptian theme, it's not a standard book release, which is something to be jubilant about if nothing else.
