Each King holds his own mystical powers but when they team up they become an unstoppable force of nature. The Kings of Egypt here include Ramses, Thutmose, Amenhotep, and of course, the god of death and rebirth Anubis. Join us as we attempt to harness the power of these ancient Kings to see if we can land a fortune on the reels in this interesting online slot?

Doom of Egypt is a 5 reel slot with 10 paylines that includes Wild Symbols, Expanding Symbols, and Free Spins.

Special Features

Doom of Egypt features a range of beautifully crafted symbols that appear on the reels including Egyptian Kings such as Ramses, Thutmose, Amenhotep, Anubis, as well as classic A – 10 playing card symbols. The most valuable symbol here is Anubis as if you happen to land 5 of these symbols on an active payline then you will be leaving Ancient Egypt with a fine cash payout worth 500X your wager.

Like most online slots, Doom of Egypt comes with a Wild symbol that is illustrated by an image of a scarab beetle. This symbol substitutes for all other symbols to help form winning combinations and also acts as the Scatter in the game. Similar to the Anubis symbol, if you are lucky enough to land 5 Wilds on a payline then you will be rewarded a cash prize worth 500X your stake.

The main and only bonus feature of Doom of Egypt is the Free Spins bonus game. To trigger it, you will need to land 3 or more Scatters on the reels. Once activated, you will be given 10 Free Spins and before the feature starts, one of the symbols will be chosen at random to become the expanding symbol. Keep a close eye on this symbol during this feature as when it is part of a win then it will proceed to expand to cover the entire reel. It is also possible to retrigger Free Spins to get an additional 10 Free Spins by landing 3 more Scatters here.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

When it comes to visuals, the game borrows heavily from other Play’n GO Ancient Egyptian based slots such as Rise of Dead and Legacy of Egypt. This is unfortunate as it makes the game look like a clone job rather than a whole new slot. Symbols in the game are nicely detailed and consist of Ramses, Thutmose, Anubis, Amenhotep, a Scarab, as well as A – 10 icons. The animations are quite interesting as symbols fly down the reels and are then highlighted by a magical purple line when part of a winning combination. It’s especially fun to watch symbols expand to fill entire reels when in the Free Spins feature.

The music is mysterious and melodic with lots of soft flute sounds playing slowly in the background. It works well with the Ancient Egyptian theme.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 10 paylines, a decent RTP of 96.2%, and a maximum payout worth 5,000X your initial stake.

Our Verdict on Doom of Egypt

Leading software provider Play’n GO created this mildly entertaining online slot that sadly does not bring anything original to the table whatsoever. The graphics while nice to look at are lifted from other Play’n GO Ancient Egypt themed slots which adds credence that this game is just another Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead clone to add to the list. Having said that though, Book of Dead is Play’n GO’s most popular slot so perhaps you can never have too much of a good thing. Features-wise, it does come with a fun Free Spins feature where you can win lots of cash prizes when selected symbols expand to fill entire reels. The most you can win in this game is a massive 5,000X your bet and this can be achieved by filling all of the reels with Anubis or Wild symbols. For variance, it is quite High so you will have to go through quite a few dry spells before landing a big win here.
