Coins of Egypt

Coins of Egypt was launched exclusively for Betsson casinos in March 2018. In October 2018, the castles were launched so that all NetEnt casinos I could start offering it.

About Coins of Egypt slot

A very quick glance at the game screen is enough to realize that NetEnt's designers have worked a lot of overtime to complete the game. We dare to say that NetEnt with Coins of Egypt sets a new level for graphics and animations in new slots online !

We are prepared to be indulgent with the choice of theme thanks to the exquisite graphics. Otherwise, we think that the game developers should start using their imagination a little more and not continue to evict machines with Egyptian gods and pharaohs in the lead roles.

Who then plays the main roles? Well, it is Anubis, Isis, Wadjet and Bastet who are the God symbols on the reels. Hopefully they use their magical and divine$after to lead you to profit!

One thing that sets the game apart from other Egyptian-themed slots is the slightly darker tone. It is clear that NetEnt has wanted to build a little more drama and mystery into their game, and we think they have succeeded very well in this.

Stakes and winnings

Coins of Egypt has 20 fixed paylines across its five reels and three rows. When starting a spin, you should specify how much you want each coin to be worth and how many coins you want in play per line. If you want to play for the minimum possible bet ($2), set the coin value to 10 cents and play at BET level 1. You can bet$ 2000 per spin at most ($10 coin value and 10 coins per line).

If we look in the profit plan, we see that the best paying icon pays 1500 coins for five in a row. If you hit full screen with this icon, you win 30,000 coins, which is also the game's maximum win.

30,000 coins is a modest maximum win, even for NetEnt. Coins of Egypt is a slot that does not immediately offer the biggest winnings. For many other slots, such an order means that the winnings will be quite frequent. In Coins of Egypt, however, a greater focus is on medium – sized wins (approximately 10x-20x the BET) and it is the unique coin win feature (see below) that gives you these.

Coins of Egypt RTP is very high, actually as high as 96.97%. Just this figure makes the game more interesting than a vast majority of other slots, especially other titles that have a similar theme.

Game features

Coins of Egypt has a wide repertoire of special features including wilds, scatters and free spins. The game also offers a specialty with coin collection which is active both in the base game and in the bonus round.

Wilds

The jokers on the reels of Coins of Egypt represent Golden Scarabs (beetle). They are traditional substitute symbols while also providing high winnings on their own. In fact, the game's wilds pay twice as much as the otherwise best-paying icon.

Pharaoh Coin Wins

Pharaoh Coin Wins is a feature that is completely new not only for NetEnt slots but for online slots in general. It was really about time that some game developer came up with something new, and we are not surprised that it is precisely NetEnt that is taking the plunge.

In just about every spin of the base game, you will find between 1-3 coins on reels 1-3. These will then show coin values of between 2-15 times the bet.

The coin values are summed up automatically, and in the event that you should get a pharaoh symbol on the fifth reel, the amount will be added to your gaming account automatically. With this feature, you can win up to 45 times the bet, regardless of whether you win on the lines or not. However, a combination is of course preferable!

Free spins

Free spins - the round can be experienced as somewhat complicated, at least when you play it for the first time. There are a few things to go through, so polish your glasses and we'll go!

To get to the free spins bonus, you should get a scatter on reels 1, 3 and 5 respectively. The scatter represents a variety of golden rings and it is easy to identify it because it is not placed on a boulder. The first thing that happens is that all the coins on the screen are counted together. The sum is then placed in the respective of the three treasure chests placed above the screen.

Once done, you get to play an” unlimited " number of Free Spins. What is meant is that you are allowed to play until you have hit three identical seal symbols on the fifth reel.

There are three SEALs, and they correspond to the color and name of the chests. It's about Ruby Eagle, Emerald Snake and Golden Cat.

Once your free spins are up and running, coins that land on reels 1-3 will be placed in your chests, this according to the following scheme:

• Reel 1-Ruby Eagle-value of between 2-4 times the bet
• Reel 2-Emerald Snake-value of between 2 – 5 times the bet
• Reel 3 – Golden Cat-value of between 3 - 10 times the bet

After you get the third sigil icon of the same kind, the corresponding chest will open. You will then be allowed to seize all the coins from the chest and the free spins will end. It is only to be hoped that it is a generous number of coins! To note is that through the first step of the free spins bonus, you are always guaranteed a win.

Symbols

The symbols on the reels of Coins of Egypt are as well made as they can be. They are placed on boulders and they are all animated so that they kind of ”jump out” of the screen when you play home a win. In addition to the wild and scatter (see below), there are five high-win symbols and five low-win symbols. A pile of ancient Egyptian gods together with a scorpion make up the icons that give the best pay. The other five icons are in the form of beetles of different sizes.

Summary

If we just look at the innovation and the fantastic presentation with graphics and sound, Coins of Egypt is one of the coolest machines we have met in recent years. However, there is a problem, a problem that NetEnt, by the way, has been struggling with for many years. The volatility is quite low. Most of the wins you play in the base game are of a fairly modest model and you are also far from guaranteed bigger wins in the free spins round.

Coins of Egypt can be recommended for those with smaller game boxes who want to be able to get slot entertainment for a longer period of time without the box office running out quickly. High rollers seeking high risk for the chance of more substantial wins should instead stay away.
