Tomb of Akhenaten Slot Review

Similar to Tomb of Nefertiti, the Tomb of Akhenaten slot is a successful follow-up release from the team at Nolimit City. The Ancient Egyptian theme continues through the slot, introducing us to Nefertiti’s husband, the possibly insane pharaoh, Akhenaten. But more enigmatic than the mad king, is the game’s reels set-up that can modify from 5×3 to 5×5 with ways to win increasing from 243 to mighty 3,125 via the Sticky Win Spins feature. There’s much more to discover here so why don’t you join us in our detailed slot review below.

Tomb of Akhenaten Bonus Features

Glancing over the paytable at how the bonus features work will help you tremendously in working out this game. While it isn’t an overly complicated game, the fast-paced features can be hard to catch with the naked eye. The wilds don’t land in a traditional way, and there’s also a 3-level respin round that you’ll want to investigate before playing.

Sticky Win Spins

It makes more sense to start explaining this slot from one of the game’s main features before delving into wilds, or it will be too confusing to get the hang of how they work.

The feature activates on any winning spin in both the base game and the free spins round and awards 3 respins or levels, if you like. On activation, an extra row is added to your basic 5×3 reels, increasing the grid to 5×4 alongside your ways to win in the process. You’ll then have only that extra row spinning, and if you hit a winning combination or improve the existing one, you’ll reach level 2, and a random symbol on that row will transform into a regular wild.

Moving on, another winning streak adds another row now creating a max 5×5 reel and 3,125 ways to win format with another random symbol turning wild. The aim here is to reach level 3 and have the pyramid wilds added to your reels. When level 3 is activated, you’ll only have non-winning symbols spinning for a chance to earn new wins.

Wilds

Wilds don’t come easily to your assistance in the Tomb of Akhenaten online slot. As you’ll have seen, there are two of them, and they can only appear during the Win Spin feature. The regular one that looks a bit like Lara Croft, substitutes for all regular symbols except scatters and can only be discovered on the first two levels of the Win Spin feature.

The second one is called a Pyramid Wild, and it only triggers on the last level of the Win Spin feature. Above each reel you’ll then see a pyramid wheel spinning and if the red marker lands at the tip of the pyramid image, you’ll get a Pyramid wild awarded on the respective reel. Pyramid wilds aren’t just wilds. They turn all non-bonus and non-wild symbols above themselves into Pyramid wilds while regular wilds transform into 2x wilds.

Scatters

The gold-encased Akhenaten mummy plays the part of the scatter and activates the game’s free spins round, should you land 3 or more symbols of a kind during the base game.

Free Spins

Matching 3, 4 and 5 scatter symbols awards 8,10 and 12
free spins respectively with an extra 1 free spin awarded per 1 extra scatter during the round. As in the base game, the Sticky Win Spin feature stays active throughout the bonus round but with an added 1x multiplier. This increases 1x for each level achieved and does not reset between free spins.

Tomb of Akhenaten Jackpot

Even if you prefer jackpot slots, you don’t want to miss Tomb of Akhenaten. Those Nolimit City guys have added an impressive max win here of up to 26,261x your stake!

RTP and Volatility

Bonus rounds don’t trigger easily here, and now we know why. The game’s volatility is set to high, meaning that there are plenty of challenges ahead. The RTP is nothing out of the ordinary, at 96.09% it’s sitting just a tad above the industry average.
