Anubis' Secret Slots
Atop the body of a man is the head of a black dog; a recognisable Egyptian icon we’ve come to know through history lessons and televisual mediums, and yet Anubis is actually a Greek god. Besides being a symbol of mummification, most of us aren’t aware of his attributes or whether he is seen as a positive or negative god, however what we do know is that he has a secret.
What exactly that is we can’t say, but we reckon it has something to do with the 500,000 credits base jackpot locked away inside this 5-reels slot machine from AlpsGaming, or maybe it’s the juicy multipliers that can be applied during the free games feature? Whatever it is we want to have it, and we’re certain you’ll feel the same once you load up this retro styled title.
The Black Jackal
Available in both a demo and real money version, this Alps game is already a lot more accessible than the titles out there that demand payment before you test the experience out.
However, if we take the stance that you’re in this for some real money winnings, then you will need at least 0.01 to your name, and then be able to bet a specific number of credits worth this value upon the active paylines. Setting this for yourself is easy, you just need to click the corresponding windows to increase or decrease your amounts.
Similarly, users need to take the same approach with triggering those paylines; due to the unfixed nature of them, customers are able to lower the number of lines all the way down to just 1. While you may question this appeal as it makes the game harder, it also makes the title more affordable, which is likely why some players opt for it. That and they may like a challenge.
Even though there is a Max Bet toggle that will alter the information shown in the Bet and 1 Credit windows, it won’t change the number of paylines meaning it is left up to you; always make sure to check you’re starting with the number you want before clicking that spin button.
Following on from this, there is also an Autospin option that users can apply whenever they like and can just as easily deactivate it - you can’t set when the reels stop by themselves, but that shouldn’t present too much of an issue for you. After all, even if you were able to set an amount, who’s to say you wouldn’t change your mind and stop them manually before that limit anyway?
Decorated Tombs
The pyramids, although stunning to look at, are far from the grandeur they oozed when they were first built, and that means so too are the tombs. Thankfully we can appreciate the decoration and stylings of the interior because of this reimagining by Alps.
Encased inside a solid gold panelled grid is where you will discover all of the symbols that can make up a selection of winning combinations. As you will have come to expect from slot machines, there are some tiles that are more important than others, such as the scatter icon.
In this game the scatter is represented by a boat upon the still and serene River Nile, and what it will do is activate some free games, not to mention potentially adding 180,000 credits to the kitty! The bonus spins you win will have a multiplier applied, ranging from x2 all the way up to x5. The reels will keep spinning until only one lit lamp remains, however there are some Egyptian cat statues that are on the lookout to snuff out the light and end your spins early, so be weary.
There is also a gamble feature that becomes available after you’ve won yourself back some money, dressed up as a simple guessing game. Although the theme of this section is generic, the way it has been put together makes it feel a lot more thrilling than ones we’ve come across in other online activities.
A Secret Worth Keeping
No end of explorers have died trying to reach this tomb, and so many others have made it only to be cut down before they can reveal their findings to the public. Fortunately you don’t have to be that person in Anubis' Secret, so long as you keep this god happy and respect the rules of his game.
Stepping away from themed lingo for a second, this is a seriously good game despite our initial feelings telling us that it would be anything but. This AlpsGaming slot machine is an important example of how wrong you can be simply by judging a game by its appearance.
