Osiris Gold (NetGame): Slot Review and Free Play Demo

Osiris Gold (NetGame) Review

With so many Egyptian slots out there, we’ve seen pretty much everything in the niche. However, developer NetGame still somehow manages to surprise us with its flashy Osiris Gold slot. It utilizes a rather common theme, but the production values are highly impressive and the features present in this title work in a somewhat different and unique way, altogether producing a delightful gaming experience.

Loading the game takes you to a pretty familiar environment, where Egyptian structures and pyramids make up the backdrop. Despite the lack of originality, the design team has done a tremendously great job to produce high-end visuals and create, we dare say, one of the best-looking Egypt-inspired slots we’ve ever witnessed. The sound aspect is also on spot, as a classy Egyptian tune adds a final touch to the atmosphere.

11 pay symbols appear on 5x3 reels, paying when at least 3 adjacent matching symbols land along one of the 243 paylines. The lower symbol collection comprises classic A-9 royals, and the higher lot includes in ascending order scarabs, ankhs, crossed crooks and flails, Horus eyes, and Osiris himself. Five-of-a-kind low symbol wins are worth 0.5x the bet, while premium symbols pay from 1.2x to 12x the bet for combinations of five.

The Osiris Gold slot is playable from £0.2 to £100 per spin, which should appeal to many. The slot’s home page touts an RTP of 95.95%, though, in-game rules raise the percentage to 96.32%. Anyway, wins should occur quite often in accordance with a 19% hit rate. The volatility is in the medium range, and the max base game win is 648x the stake. However, payouts up to 2,640x the stake are possible, achievable via the features that tend to pop up in 1 out of 158 spins.

Keep an eye for Wild falcon symbols that are available on reels 2, 3, and 4 during the base game. Not only they substitute for any other regular symbols in winning combinations to help you score payouts, but they also can randomly trigger the Jackpot Bonus whenever they appear in view.

Once triggered, 15 cat symbols are presented, each hiding one of the jackpot symbols underneath. Players need to pick and reveal these one by one until they find 3 matching jackpot symbols to win the corresponding prize. Four different jackpots are available, as follows:

• Mini Jackpot - 5x the stake
• Minor Jackpot - 20x the stake
• Major Jackpot - 100x the stake
• Grand Jackpot - 1,000x the stake

Pyramid symbols are cash symbols, appearing with values from 0.5x to 3x your bet. When 5 hit simultaneously on the reels, the bonus comes into play, and players are allowed to choose between the Hold’n’Link feature or the Free Spins feature.

If the Free Spins are chosen, 10 spins are awarded. The bonus plays out on special reels with the lower symbols removed. New Collect symbols become available, which award an instant cash prize equal to the sum of triggering bonus symbol values whenever they appear. However, retriggers are not possible.

If the Hold’n’Link bonus is chosen, 6 spins are awarded. The triggering cash symbols lock in place and players proceed to special reels where only the following symbols are available:

• Collect Symbol - operates in a similar way to the free games, awarding the sum of the triggering symbols.
• Multiplier Symbol - doubles the total win value at the end of the bonus game.
• Last Chance Symbol - awards an additional spin, after which fades from the reels.

At the end of the feature, all visible cash values in view are summed up and multiplied by the value of all multiplier symbols in view. Additionally, filling the entire reel setup with Collect and Multiplier symbols awards the Grand Jackpot prize.

Review Summary

All said and done, for anyone looking for an enjoyable Hold and Win type of action in an Egyptian setting, Osiris Gold is definitely worth a spin or two. It’s marvelous on the outside, and the gameplay lurking beneath the beautiful wrap pretty much matches the looks, being equally cosmic. The only questionable thing is the relatively low max win capability. Yet, given the medium rating of the game’s volatility, we’d say the rewards also correspond to the risk involved.
