Wild Gods of Egypt | Slot Demo & Review ➤ Live 5

Wild Gods of Egypt slot review

Egyptian mythology has been by far the most popular slots' theme for over a decade and doesn't seem to lose relevance. Like most of the developers, Live 5 follows the trend of releasing Egyptian-styled slots, and Wild Gods of Egypt is a second such-themed slot to complement its portfolio. Despite having a cliched and jaded theme, this one appears to be fairly promising, providing engaging and enthralling gameplay, but most importantly prizes of up to 17,000x of the bet.

Wild Gods of Egypt - Slot Outlook

As the title implies, players will be taken to a pretty familiar setting, found in hundreds of Ancient Egypt-inspired slots. With the reels set in a stone temple and the backdrop showcasing palm trees, Wild Gods of Egypt comes with a pretty traditional design. It's not the best looking slot for sure for the graphics are a bit outdated, though, still charming. A classic Egyptian soundtrack plays whilst you spin the reels to add a final touch to the general ambiance, capturing the essential Egyptian vibes.

Wild Gods of Egypt Game Screen

Playable on any device, Wild Gods of Egypt offers a betting range of 0.1$ - 25$ per spin. The actions take place across a 5x3 layout producing 10 ways to play. Powered by a high volatile math model, it comes with the RTP of 95.41$, which is below the average level of 96%, so don't expect to be showered in wins. The maximum potential is obviously a highlight here, offering players a whopping jackpot of 17,000x of the bet on a single spin, or 250,000$, whichever comes first.

Heading over to the paytable reveals a bunch of Egyptian icons and hieroglyphs that make up the low pays. They are followed by 4 premiums, including ancient gods, with Ra and Sebek being the most valuable among the regulars. At least 3 symbols on a line are required to score a win, while full combos are achieved by matching 5 instances of the same symbol on a line. The low-paying ones award 2x and 3x for 5-of-a-kind combos, and premiums are worth from 6 to 8 times the stake.

Wild Gods of Egypt - Bonus Features

As alluded to earlier, despite having troubles with the originality in terms of the design, Live 5 manages to deliver unique and rewarding gameplay. Here players will benefit from Transforming Wilds, Respins, Multipliers, and 2 Free Spins modes. Let's lay everything out in order.

The title already hints that Wilds play a central role in the gameplay, and they are called Transforming Wilds here. They do not also act as substitutes for any other regular symbols, assisting you to form winning combos, but also lead to lucrative bonus features. Whenever a Wild symbol appears anywhere in view during the bonus game, it randomly transforms into one of the following bonus symbols:

• Multiplier Wilds. Awards a random Multiplier of 2x or 3x.
• Flaming Wilds. Awards the Flaming Wilds Respins feature.

Whenever a Flaming Wild symbol lands, it awards a Respin and leaves an ignited position behind. Any new Wild landing will leave will ignite respective symbol position on the grid and award another Respin. Wilds landing onto already ignited positions will increase their multiplier by 1x. The Respins keep going until no new Wilds appear, and after the final Respin, all ignited positions will turn Wild and pay.

Anyway, the Free Spins feature is the key to the success here. At least 3 Scatters landing anywhere in view are needed to activate the feature, with 3, 4, and 5 triggering Scatters awarding 10, 12, and 15 spins to start respectively. Players will then be provided with two options to choose from, Flaming Wild Free Spins and Sticky Multiplier Wild Free Spins modes.

During the Flaming Wild Free Spins, all Wilds acts the same as during the Flaming Wild Respins. All Wilds leave ignited positions and gain multipliers in case they land onto an already ignited position, and on the final spin, all ignited positions turn into Wild. Landing 2, 3, 4, or 5 Scatters during the bonus game will award 5, 10, 12, or 15 additional Free Spins.

During the Sticky Multiplier Wild Free Spins, any Wild landing onto the reel set will become Sticky for the duration of the bonus and gain a 2x or 3x multiplier. Landing at least 1 Wild symbol on each of the reels will award additional 5 Free Spins.

Wild Gods of Egypt - Slot Verdict

Let's say Live 5 was in a hurry and lacked the time or something to afford a better design, but why couldn't they stick to the average figures when it comes to the stats. A highly volatile math model paired with meager RTP isn't the best combo for sure. Luckily, the potential saves the day and makes it worth the risk.

Speaking of features, Live 5 nailed it and all the extras seem to be working perfectly in pairs. Thanks to random Multipliers and Respins, you are not likely to have a dull moment during the base game, and the Free Spins feature only adds an extra layer of entertainment to the gameplay.

All up, Wild Gods of Egypt might not be the most innovative and original slot, but the end result is surely going to make waves among slot enthusiasts and casino hounds. While there are some downsides, Wild Gods of Egypt certainly has all chances of becoming a banger.
