Sanctuary Features
The action takes place on a 6x4 grid which has been placed in front of a sunset and some pyramids. This highly volatile slot has an RTP of 96.38% and there are 4,096 ways to win. You just need matching symbols to land on 3 adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. 9 to Ace are the low-pay symbols. Land 6-of-a-kind and you’ll win between 0.5x and 1.2x the stake. The high pays consist of The Eye or Ra, a Scarab beetle, an Egyptian werewolf thing, and a skull pharaoh.
The skull pharaoh will actually pay out even if you only hit two matching symbols. 6-of-kind of this and the other high-pay symbols will pocket you 1.5x to 15x the stake. There are two Wilds symbols. They cover entire reels and substitute for any standard pay symbols; however, if you land a Purple Wild, as opposed to a Golden Wild, it also serves as an 8x multiplier for any winning combination it’s a part of.
Bonus Round & Wilds
You only need 3 pyramid scatter symbols before you’re given 7 free spins and an opportunity to gamble them for a chance to play on up to 4 separate grids simultaneously. If you don't gamble, you can choose to ‘Collect’ and let your 7 free spins play out on a single game area. If your courage is more the level of a pharaoh’s, however, you can choose to ‘Gamble’, where you can win an additional game area. If you’re successful, you’re then given the opportunity to gamble again to potentially play your free spins on 3 or even 4 game areas!
If, however, you gain access to the Bonus with 4 scatter symbols, you automatically start off with the standard number of free spins but also 2 game areas. 5 scatters will give you 3 game areas, and 6 will give you 4. Scatters don’t appear during the bonus, but that doesn’t mean you can’t win further free spins during the round.
During the Free Spins, gone are the two entire-reel-covering Wild symbols. Instead, you get Ankh Sticky Wilds, which only occupy one position on the game area(s) at a time; however, they stick to that position, so they can become part of subsequent winning combos. Not only that, but if you manage to align four of them vertically, you get a 4x multiplier and 3 more free spins!
If you’re outside the UK, you can buy instant access to the Free Spins round for 80x the bet.
