Egyptian Heroes is one of the slot machines desgined by Net Entertainment, and in this case you’re getting a title based on the Ancient Egypt theme, but one that is actually designed in a modern way, with 3D graphics and computer made images used for the symbols. It’s one of the few cases where I can say that I enjoyed a slot that has a theme that every single developer out there has approached. Net Entertainment did it better than most of them though.
A 5 reels slot machine, Egyptian Heroes has up to 20 active paylines. Among its features you will discover some new things, like the golden bet line multipliers, but also the usual wilds, free spins and scatters. Payouts will go up to $20,000.
Features of Egyptian Heroes
With things like golden bet line multipliers, scatter symbols, free games and wilds among its features, Egyptian Heroes is a game that adds yet another point in its favor this way.
The Golden Bet Line is the one crossing the reels horizontally, going through the symbols from the middle (the 2nd position of the reels). You get a chance during each spin to activate the Golden Bet Line Multiplier, and the result is that you can get 2x to 5x the usual amount when that happens.
Even the Pyramid wild looks like a modern symbol, yet another example of Net Ent quality when it comes to graphics. You get the word Wild written in the lower half, while the upper area has a representation of a pyramid, recognizable as such, but more like a logo of one than a realistic picture. As a wild, this symbol substitutes for all the other symbols, the exception being the scatters. It appears on one of the three middle reels and while doing so it will expand and cover all three positions available, as long as that will result in a new winning combo.
Free Games Feature
The last feature is the free games round, with 10 to 20 spins awarded for free, as long as 3 to 5 scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. It has the Pharaoh mask on it, acts as a scatter, and as such it is capable of awarding the free spins just by being present in random positions, no payline formation necessary.
For the duration of these free games, you will get a sticky expanded wild for the 3rd reel, which will stay there and give you much better chances of coming out of this feature with a nice profit. The 2nd and 4th reel wilds are still there, and they can still expand when they show up. The free games are retriggered when another 3+ scattered Pharaohs appear.
Betting options and jackpots
You use a combination of multiple coins and a denomination that you select, to figure out what the line wager should be. Up to $0.50 you can go with the denomination, while the number of coins goes from 1 to 10 per line. There are 20 lines total, so you can use up to 200 coins, with the maximum value being $100.
Your biggest reward for playing this slot is worth about 4,000 times what you put in on a single line, so you can walk away with 40,000 coins, or $20,000.
Design and symbols
Instead of getting the usual tired representations of gods and scarabs that so many other slot machines rely on, Egyptian Heroes takes them and brings them to life, in 3D characters that seem ready to spring to action. They look good enough to appear in a comic book or in a modern animation movie. Even the background picture makes it look like the reels are placed inside of some modern Egyptian temple or space ship. The disappointing part would be the inclusion of simple playing cards, very little customization being involved when it comes to them.
Symbols: Pyramid (wild), Pharaoh’s Tomb (scatter), Ra (4,000x), Bastet (2,000x), Hathor (1,500x), Osiris (1,000x), Sobek (500x), Ace (125x), King (100x), Queen (75x), Jack (50x) and 10 (30x).
Is It Worth Playing?
It’s miles ahead of any other Egyptian themed slot machine, at least when it comes to the graphics aspect, but it does OK with its features as well, so I’m sure you will love it. Payouts are about average, but it’s going to be a fun experience in every other way.
You will find Egyptian Heroes at any online casino which chooses to use software from Net Entertainment, playable either for free or for real money.
