Egyptian Slots & Slot Sites

Adventures, Escapades and Hidden Treasure

Many Egyptian slots interest themselves with the familiar but fascinating idea of uncovering treasure trapped within ancient tombs. It makes total sense – it’s just like landing a big spin. 

Le Pharaoh by Hacksaw Gaming is an example of a fun slot that takes the adventuring in Egypt theme and gives it a racoon-flavoured makeover. The option to choose from a selection of bonus rounds cements a feeling of adventure, even if you are accompanied by a French raccoon. 

The Book Slots of Ancient Egypt

The famous book mechanic was first introduced by Novomatic and Book of Ra back in 2005 (have a look at the deluxe version). Since then it’s expanded way beyond its ancient Egyptian roots, but it still pops up really often in this particular genre. 

Book of Atem is one of our favourite modern examples of the expanding book symbol done really well. This mechanic works particularly well with Egyptian-themed slots, as well as other adventure based slots, or those with an ancient history flavour. Ideas of lost knowledge, sacred texts, and spectacular powers feel right at home amongst the hieroglyphics and hidden tombs.

Gods of the Underworld

Looking for a darker approach? As well as glittering gold and pharaohs, ancient Egyptians were fascinated with mythology. The Gods of the Underworld were hugely powerful, so they’re an irresistible choice for slot developers looking to create thunderous bonus rounds. 

Anubis, Horus and Ra regularly appear as potent reel symbols, sometimes with whole slots dedicated to them. Ankh of Anubis Awakening brings this mythology front and centre, with the jackal-headed god directly at the heart of the super futuristic gameplay. Want to play with another God?

Cleopatra and Royal Power

If there’s a single Egyptian icon that gets more slots than all the rest, it’s Cleopatra. Sometimes a sultry siren channelling Elizabeth Taylor of the silver screen, like in the beloved Cleopatra slot by IGT. Other times a much more modern take on the pharaoh queen, like in the brilliant Charlie Chance and the Curse of Cleopatra by Play’n GO.

Whether you prefer IGT’s free-spin marathon, or Play’n GO’s feature packed adventure, Queen Cleo remains one of the most reimagined heroines of Ancient Egyptian slots.

The Egyptian Curse

Plenty of slots focus on what might happen when you crack open a long-sealed tomb – but most plump for gold and untold riches. Hacksaw Gaming thought they’d try something different with Undead Fortune – what if you cracked it open and unleashed a horde of Egyptian zombies? 

This blend of history and horror is becoming ever more popular in new Egyptian-themed slots. After all, when you’re opening a sealed burial chamber thousands of years old, there’s always the possibility of unlocking ancient curses, restless spirits and long forgotten guardians with it.
