Tales of Egypt Slot Review

In the base game, everything is as clear as possible: five reels, three rows and standard payouts for matches from left to right. The main feature is random Wilds that can appear at any time and replace any regular symbols. There is a feeling that in Tales of Egypt everything revolves around the expectation of a bonus, because it is he who brings the main action. Otherwise, this is a typical Egyptian "twister", where everything depends on luck: either the symbols are stacked, or you just wait for the next attempt.

The main bonus is Free Spins, which are activated when three or more Scatters appear. Before the start of free spins, the slot chooses one of the locations of Egypt (Pyramid, Valley of Kings, etc.), which becomes a Special Symbol and falls out more often than others. During Free Spins, special symbols can be collected and give additional winnings. Sometimes it seems that it is possible to catch a drift only in the bonus, because there are almost all the chances for combinations with top payouts. There is no Bonus Buy option — everything must be knocked out manually.

The symbols in Tales of Egypt are completely thematic: there are Cleopatra, Bastet, Anubis, pyramids, and the usual card values. The most valuable is Cleopatra, if you collect five pieces on a line, you get the maximum win in the main game. The Wild here is made in the form of a pyramid and replaces all symbols except for Scatter. Scatter is the logo of the slot, and it is just needed to trigger the bonus. Symbols with pharaohs and gods give medium payouts, and card values are purely to maintain balance and frequent small wins.

The advertised maximum win in Tales of Egypt is approximately 1,000x the bet. To catch it, you need Special Symbols in the bonus, which often appear on the reels. In practice, of course, such amounts are rare, and in a regular session, the bonus gives 30x-100x, if you are lucky with the amount of Special Symbol. Volatility here is closer to average: there are series without winnings, and sometimes you can raise your bankroll quite well for just one bonus bonus.

The graphics in Tales of Egypt are nice, the colours are warm, and the symbols are drawn clearly, without fancy details. The music here is more for the background, it is not particularly memorable, but it does not interfere either. The animations are simple - the rotation of the reels and flashing lights when winning, nothing superfluous. The slot works perfectly on the phone and on the PC, does not load the system and starts quickly even on weak devices.

Tales of Egypt is definitely suitable for those who appreciate simplicity and do not like unnecessary complications. Everything is transparent here: if you knock out a bonus, you wait for a Special Symbol, if you don't knock it out, you just spin it for your own pleasure. It is suitable for both beginners and those who are tired of the "bells and whistles" of modern slots. For fans of Ancient Egypt, it is generally a must-read.

The RTP of Tales of Egypt is announced to be around 95.1%, but, as always, I advise you to check the specific value in the selected casino - Pragmatic Play sometimes releases versions with different RTPs. Volatility is average, so the best strategy is not to bet too large amounts on one spin, it is better to stretch the pleasure over a long session. Auto-spins can be turned on, but without fanaticism: bonuses do not fall out often, which means it is important not to "drain" the bankroll in five minutes.
