In Treasure of Isis, you will find a game with an Egyptian theme, not the most original choice for a slot machine. With each developer owning at least one slot machine with this theme, though they usually have more of them, Treasure of Isis would have to be quite the game to rise up as the winner. In this case, the developer is Cryptologic, and they’ve taken every classic Egyptian symbol and placed in this game. At the very least, we should be grateful that they didn’t use playing cards.
You will notice that the 5 reels of Treasure of Isis get a total of 20 bet lines. Feature wise it’s not that great a choice, with free spins obtained through a bonus game, which in turn is triggered by the scatter symbol. That’s about it for the features, but you also get a very big prize, which is a lot more interesting, going up to $200,000 in value.
Features of Treasure of Isis
You might not find a wild symbol among the slot’s features, but the scatter is there, and its main role seems to be that of a trigger for the bonus game that gets you free spins.
The Ruby symbol is the only one with a feature attached. As a scatter, the Ruby is capable of triggering a bonus game, and it can do it from any position on the reels, as long as the minimum number of symbols is present somewhere. While in other games you can expect some big prizes, Treasure of Isis only gets you your wager back when you have two Rubies, while three or more will get you the bonus game.
Bonus Game
The three Ruby scatters that are needed to get the bonus round started can appear on any reel, without being on the same payline. In the bonus feature that follows, you get four boxes plus a scarab. You can tell the scarab the direction in which it should go, and once it gets to the last box, you get your payout and you find out how many free spins you’ve won. The free spins are only obtained if you win the bonus feature.
Betting options and jackpots
All 20 lines in Treasure of Isis can be activated, as long as you use 20 coins, one for each payline. A smaller number of coins used will trigger fewer paylines, which means a smaller chance of getting a prize. The coin bet range goes from $0.01 to $5, with the maximum bet being $100.
The graphics or the features might not impress you, but I do believe that the jackpot will be another matter. A whopping 40,000 coins are on the line in this game, which more than makes up for the lack of features, especially if you’ve used the maximum coin value. That would take the jackpot to $200,000.
Design and symbols
The Egyptian theme is easily visible in this game and even the reels have the look of slabs of stone, the kind you would see in the walls of an Egyptian pyramid. The surrounding decorations, which go all around the screen, are made out of gold and they show us various animals and Egyptian symbols, like a scarab, snakes, Anubis or the Eye of Ra. The betting options are on the area from the bottom, made entirely out of gold.
Symbols: Ruby (scatter symbol, 1x the bet), Scarab (40,000 coins), Sphinx (15,000 coins), Pyramid (7,500 coins), Ankh Cross (2,500 coins), Anubis (2,500 coins), Owl (500 coins), Eye of Ra (500 coins), Cat (250 coins), Dancing Egyptian (100 coins) and Pottery (100 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
I don’t usually recommend Egyptian slot machines, especially not the ones that have no features, but they made sure to compensate with a big top prize, and that’s what I always love to see.
You will find Treasure of Isis at any online casino which chooses to use software from Cryptologic, playable either for free or for real money.
