Golden Glyph 2

Golden Glyph 2 Review

The team at Quickspin have decided to take you back to ancient Egypt in this sequel to their popular Golden Glyph slot. Golden Glyph 2 does have the familiar Egyptian theme but unfortunately without the dramatic pyramid sunset view of the original.

In terms of gameplay, things will feel familiar with the Cluster Pays mechanics on the 7×7 grid and the inclusion of Power Ups to help boost your gameplay. Free Spins are triggered via the traditional scatter collecting route this time, though, which is good to see. However, the Golden Free Spins round is where the big rewards lie if you can trigger all the Power Ups and bring additional Golden Glyph up to 50x multipliers into play.

So, is this a game you should bravely venture into, or should it stay buried in the sand? Read our full review below to find out!

Golden Glyph 2 Bonus Features

It’s great to see that Quickspin has brought over all the popular elements from the original version into Golden Glyph 2. Just like its predecessor, this slot plays out on a 7×7 grid. Clusters of 5 or more matching symbols give you wins before disappearing to allow more symbols to cascade down from above to fill the gaps. This mechanic can give you multiple wins from a single spin.

The popular Power Ups bar feature is still here in both the base game and free spins round, complete with 6 spots for wild distributing Scarabs or symbol burning Horus Patterns.

It can also help you to trigger additional Golden Glyphs with up to 50x multipliers in the Free Spins bonus feature to help you move towards the games sizable 26,800x your stake potential.

Wilds

A winged W hits the grid, featuring valuable slot features, as the wild and substitutes for all paying symbols to help you dig some wins out of the sand.

Power Glyph Symbol

Each time a cluster win forms and disappears, it will leave behind a Power Glyph symbol on one of the winning tiles. They behave just like wilds, and if they form part of a winning cluster, they’ll glide down to activate the leftmost Power Up on the bar below the grid.

Power Ups

Sitting below the game grid, you’ll notice a bar with 7 spaces for Power Up symbols.

Positions 1 to 6 are a random combination of either Golden Scarabs symbols that randomly add 4 to 11 wilds to the grid or 6 different Patterns of Horus. The Horus Patterns appear over the grid in the shape of an Ankh, Hourglass, Bird, Eye, Cross or Snake and burn off all symbols underneath them.

Position 7, rightmost on the Power Up bar, is always a 2×3 sized Gigantic Wild in the base game or an additional Golden Glyph in the free spins feature.

Scatters

A golden pyramid with the word Bonus adorning it acts as the scatter in Golden Glyph 2. Landing 3 of these in the base game will take you inside the ancient Egyptian temple to play the Free Spins feature.

Free Spins

You’ll get 7 free spins to kick things off once the round is triggered. Additional 5 free spins will come your way if you land another 3 scatters on a single spin during the feature.

Once you hit spin for the first time, a Golden Glyph Wild will fly onto the grid and settle in a random spot. It takes flight and moves to a new location on each new spin. This little magical symbol starts the round with a 1x multiplier attached to it and increases by +1, up to a 50x multiplier, each time it’s part of a winning cluster.

You can bring an additional 3 Golden Glyphs with multipliers into play by activating them from position 7 on the Power Up bar one at a time. All their multipliers will be added together and applied to any wins, giving the round some Egyptian God-like potential.

Golden Glyph 2 Jackpot

Any hint of a progressive jackpot in Golden Glyph 2 has sadly been lost in the sands of time. That said, this slot still has a sizable 26,800x your stake potential. You can’t say that’s not Pharaoh!

RTP and Volatility

The sequel arrives with an RTP of 96.09%, just 0.10% lower than the original. By contrast, the volatility has been turned up a notch and is now on the high end of the scale. This could make it a bit tougher to hit regular wins than it was in the original version.
