Power of Gods: Egypt | Wazdan ᐈ Slot Review & Free Demo

Power of Gods: Egypt slot review

Power of Gods: Egypt is a sequel to Wazdan's previous ancient gods-inspired slot, this time taking players to the mythical world of Egypt to join powerful gods, Ra, Bastet, Sobek, and Isis. Unlike other Egyptian games, this one offers very saturated gameplay, filled with exciting features and mechanics, and most importantly, boasts a top prize of 8,000x of the bet. Let's take a look and figure out whether it manages to stick out from the niche and offer anything unique.

Power of Gods: Egypt - Slot Outlook

The previous title has already shown that Wazdan has taken a different approach to the gameplay from what other gods-themed slots offer. Even though the theme might seem cliched and jaded, this Egypt-styled game is expected to be taking a step further in terms of gameplay, far cry from other slots in the niche, especially those bona fide copies of Book of Dead. Power of Gods: Egypt's older sibling appeared to be quite successful and took an honored place among Wazdan's hit titles. However, the devs didn't just restyle it and release under the guise of a brand new slot but changed a lot of things: extended ways to play, adjusted the math model, and implemented new features. If you have ever tried Power of Gods: The Pantheon, taking a peek under the hood of the sequel will quickly let you notice the difference.

Power of Gods: Egypt Reel Screen

Loading the game will take you to a pretty familiar setting. The reels are set in an Egyptian structure, while the backdrop showcases palms and massive pyramids. Nothing supernatural about it, except for the graphics, which are superb. Wazdan has taken a meticulous approach to the design obviously for animations as well as visuals are of top-notch quality, making Power of Gods: Egypt extremely appealing. The soundtrack though is rather traditional. An enigmatic piece of Egyptian music plays whilst you spin the reels, adding a final touch to the ambiance.

Playable on any device, Power of Gods: Egypt offers players to place wagers from 0.1$ to 100$ per spin. The actions take place across a 5x3 grid with 243 ways to play, meaning that all adjacent symbols starting from the leftmost reel pay. True to the developer's style, the volatility is adjustable to appeal to a wider audience, so players are free to choose either low, medium, or high variance depending on their preferences. The RTP is moderate at 96.19%, which is slightly above the average level. As already mentioned above, players can hope for a win of 8,000x of the bet, which is 800,000$ on a single spin when playing with the max bet option available.

Heading over to the paytable reveals a bunch of recognizable regular symbols, split into highs and lows. The pay symbols start at the low end with a set of A-J royals, followed by 5 Egyptian gods, including in ascending order Anubis, Montu, Hathor, Osiris, and Akh. Matching 5 instances of low-paying symbols on a payline will award from 0.4x to 1x of the bet, while premiums are worth from 1.5 to 20 times the stake for a 5-of-a-kind combo. Ra is a Wild symbol, acting as a substitute for any other regular symbols, plus paying 5 times more than the top-paying symbols here, namely 100x of the bet.

Power of Gods: Egypt - Bonus Features

As alluded to earlier, there are a lot of things to do here, so those seeking plenty of features came to the right place. However, most of the extras come into play when you hit the Free Spins feature. There are 4 modes in total, each one featuring its own lucrative bonuses to enliven the gameplay.

It's hard not to notice Ra standing on the left side of the screen, holding a meter. Whenever a scarab bonus symbol appears, it fills the meter by 1. Those symbols have to appear on every consecutive spin for the meter resets when no scarab symbols are drawn. Filling the meter with 7 scarabs will activate the Ra Spins Bonus feature, awarding 7 Free Spins.

During the Ra Spins Bonus, a 7x multiplier comes into play to multiply all winning combos during the feature. Moreover, Ra Wilds become expanding Walking Wilds. Whenever they land onto the grid, they expand to cover the entire respective reels and move one position to the right on each spin until they eventually leave the reels.

Should 3 or more Scatters appear anywhere in view during the base game, the Free Spins feature will be triggered. Depending on the number of Scatters landing, players will have up to 3 options of Free Spins modes to select. Landing 3, 4, and 5 Scatters unlocks Sobek, Isis, and Bastet Free Spins features respectively. Triggering a feature will keep it unlocked for the rest of the session.

Free Spins Modes Selection

• Sobek Free Spins. Awards 15 spins to start. Whenever a winning combo lands, Sobek swings his staff to move the reels one position right and allow new symbols land onto the first reel, thereby awarding a Respin. This continues up to the moment when no new winning combos could be made. Every time a Respin is awarded, the progressive multiplier increases up to 7x. Another major upgrade is that regular Ra Wilds are substituted by Sobek Wilds during the Free Spins, which come with a 2x multiplier attached to them.
• Isis Free Spins. Awards 12 spins to start. Ra Wilds are substituted by Expanding Isis Wilds for the duration of the feature, which can land anywhere on the grid to then expand and cover the entire reel. Moreover, they land with a 3x multiplier attached to them.
• Bastet Free Spins. Awards 10 spins to start. Whenever a win is scored, the Avalanching Wins feature comes into play. All winning symbols are then removed to allow new ones to tumble down onto the grid and fill empty spaces. The feature keeps working until no new winning combos are available to be made. Every cascade increases the progressive multiplier by 1x, no limits. Ra Wilds are substituted by Bastet Wilds, which come with a 4x multiplier attached to them.

All the Free Spins modes can be extended by landing a +3FS bonus symbol anywhere onto the grid during the feature, which awards +3 additional spins. Those who want to plunge straight into the action and skip less exciting part can use the Buy Feature to immediately gain access to the desired Free Spins mode. Sobek, Isis, and Bastet Free Spins will costs you 45x of the total bet, while Ra Spins Bonus will be 60x.

Last but not least is the Gamble Feature, allowing you to double your income. The feature is repeatable, so players are allowed to risk their winnings for a chance to double them up to 7 times in a row.

Power of Gods: Egypt - Slot Verdict

While the first impression was something like 'oh, yet another Egyptian slot', a couple of minutes of the gameplay reveal that Power of Gods: Egypt is a step up in quality compared to other slots in the niche, and it seems to be a worthy alternative to most successful of them. 

Wazdan did a great job of developing the Power of Gods: Egypt slot for sure. It does not only offer lovely graphics and decent prizes but also delivers tons of fun thanks to a pile of interesting features. This slot again proves that it's improperly to judge books by its cover, for what may seem an ugly duckling can appear to be a gorgeous swan at the end of the day.
