Game Overview

I wonder what the French linguist Jean-Francois Champollion would make of the world today; after all, he was the genius who cracked the Rosetta Stone, which helped us unlock the secrets of Egypt by being able to finally understand Hieroglyphics. I’m not sure he would have ever imagined the fascination with Egypt would progress to online slots, but yet here we are taking a look at another game in this popular genre from Hacksaw Gaming titled Temple of Torment. This 5 reel slot comes with just 14 paylines, an RTP of 96.22% and a maximum win of 10,000x bet.

Hacksaw usually treats its players to several in-game features, and we have a few to look at in this slot too. First of all, the Wild Golden Scarab symbols are guaranteed to expand either up or down when they land if they can help form a winning combo. Next, we have the Anguish of Anubis free spins, which improves your chances of landing the golden scarabs and also locks all wild symbols in place for the duration of the bonus. The last of the features is the Reign of Ra free spins, where all activated wild symbols that land will add their multiplier value to a global multiplier at the top of the reels, which is then applied to any winning combo that has hit on that specific spin.

Can we tempt you into another Egyptian adventure? Come on, you know you want to? So why not head on down to the free demo slot of Temple of Torment in our review? It’s available to play on all your devices below.

Temple Of Torment Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Temple of Torment slot paytable

As we are all aware, the Egyptian theme has been used a lot by slot developers in the past, and I guess you could put that down to Novomatic’s Book of Ra and then Play’n Go’s Book of Dead too. These two top-rated games spawned hundreds of clones that are still being made to this day, with a good selection of those being based on Egypt one way or another. Thankfully, there have been other providers who have taken a different approach, with some offering fun and more cartoon-based style slots and others exploring the darker side of Egypt, as Hacksaw has treated us to previously in their Hand of Anubis slot. So, how will Temple of Torment fair in the grand scheme of things? I saw we find out, don’t you?

Let’s kick things off with the paytable, and for the highest paying regular symbol, we have Ra, who pays 30x bet for a five of a kind win. Then we have Anubis, worth 25x for a completed line of five, followed by the Ankh at 20x, the Eye of Horus at 17.5x, and finally, The Shen, worth 15x for a full payline of five. Dropping to the low pays, we have five royal symbols, the Ace, King and Queen, all valued at 7.5x if five land across a payline, and last but not least, the Jack and Ten, paying 5x bet for a five of a kind hit. The game also features a self-titled wild symbol, substituting for all regular symbols and paying 40x bet for a payline of five.

Whether you’re a high or low roller, plenty of betting options are available in Temple of Torment. These start at €0.10 a spin and reach a maximum of €100 a play. Another point to mention is that the game comes with multiplier RTP levels, so check the information section to see which value you are playing with, as these can reach as low as 88.22%.

Base Game & Modifiers

With a reel configuration of 5×4, you’d probably expect Temple of Torment to have a lot more paylines than the 14 it has. If you’re a regular Hacksaw player, you’ll know they often have slightly different payline structures than regular games. This seems to work well for how they develop their titles, so I guess you could say it’s business as usual regarding the format. Creating a way across this playfield will require at least three matching symbols to land, starting from the leftmost reel first.

Wild Golden Scarab Symbols

All wild golden scarabs that land in view are guaranteed to expand up or down if at least one golden scarab would be part of at least one winning combo. In addition, expanded scarab symbols count as a wild on every position they cover, and each reel can only have one of these special symbols at a time. Finally, if a golden scarab expands through a wild symbol, the wild will receive a multiplier value between 2x – 500x.

Temple Of Torment Slot Bonus Features

Temple of Torment slot free spins feature

There are two bonus rounds that can be triggered within the game, so there are two different sets of scatter symbols that can land. First are the blue-coloured Anubis free spins symbols, where landing 3, 4, or 5 will trigger the feature and award 10, 12, or 14 free spins, respectively. Secondly are the orange-coloured Ra free spins symbols, where hitting 3, 4, or 5 will activate the feature and award you 10, 12, or 14 free spins, respectively.

Anguish Of Anubis Free Spins

During this free spin mode, there is an increased chance of the golden wild scarabs landing on the reels. Additionally, all wild symbols that hit will lock in place for the duration of the bonus. Players may be awarded extra free spins by landing 2 or 3 Anubis free spin scatters, with these adding an extra 2 or 4 spins to your current total, respectively.

Reign Of Ra Free Spins

Whilst this feature is in play, all activated wild symbols that hit will add their multiplier value to the global multiplier positioned at the top of the reels. When this value is added, the total value of the multiplier will be applied to any winning combos formed on that spins. Additional free spins can be won by landing 2 or 3 Ra free spin scatters, with these adding an extra 2 or 4 spins to your current total, respectively.

Bonus Buy

Players from jurisdictions where the bonus buy button is active can choose from the following options:

BonusHunt FeatureSpins: For the cost of 3x the bet, each spin is 5 times more likely to trigger a bonus game.
Scarab FeatureSpins: At the cost of 50x the bet, each spin guarantees that at least 3 golden scarabs land in view.
Anguish of Anubis Free Spins: Trigger the Anubis free spins feature at the cost of 100x bet.
Regin of Ra Free Spins: Trigger the Ra free spins feature at the cost of 200x bet.

Pros

Well-known mechanics that Hacksaw fans will enjoy.
A good take on the Egyptian theme.

Cons

Varied RTP levels.

Final Thoughts

Whilst Temple of Torment is another solid addition to the Hacksaw portfolio, it's certainly not up to the standards of some of their recent releases, like Mayan Stackways, which I enjoyed. To be honest, this feels like more of a filler than anything else, and whilst hardcore fans might enjoy it for a short time, I don't see this being on anyone's must-play list for long.
