Fury of Anubis: Pragmatic Play's Egyptian Tumble Slot

Pragmatic Play has released Fury of Anubis, a slot set in ancient Egypt where the jackal-headed god guides players along a path to the afterlife. It runs on a 5×6 grid with tumbling reels, carries an RTP of 96.52% and is rated high volatility. The maximum win is 10,000 times the stake.

How the base game works

There are no paylines. Instead, 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid pay a cash prize. Winning symbols then disappear and new ones drop in, which gives each spin the chance to produce several wins in a row.

The multiplier is the core of the game. A win multiplier sits above the reels and starts at 1x on every spin. Each consecutive tumble doubles it, up to a maximum of 1,024x. When the sequence ends, it returns to its starting value on the next spin. A long chain of tumbles can therefore build large wins before the bonus round has even been triggered.

Free spins and the gamble option

Landing 3 to 6 scatters starts the bonus game with 10 free spins. The starting multiplier for the round is somewhere between 8x and 64x.

Before the spins begin, players get a choice. The gamble feature offers a chance to double that starting multiplier, which can take it as high as 256x. The alternative is to play on with the value originally awarded.

During the round, the multiplier resets to its starting value before each new free spin. Another 3 to 6 scatters set the free spins count back to 10 and multiply the starting multiplier by 2x to 16x.

Ante bets and bonus buys

Some markets also offer ante bets and bonus buys. According to Pragmatic Play, these can lift the starting multiplier to as much as 1,024x on every base-game spin, remove the cap on the maximum multiplier, and trigger the feature with a random minimum multiplier. They are available only in certain jurisdictions, so the options in the game lobby may differ from one site to another.

Where it fits in the catalogue

Fury of Anubis joins a list of Pragmatic Play hits that includes Jelly Express, Fortune of Olympus and Sweet Rush Bonanza. The studio releases up to eight new slots a month and also supplies live casino games through a single API. Sharon McHugh, the company's head of PR, singled out the scaling multiplier and the free spins as the game's main features, and noted that players can improve their bonus before it starts.

The game is rated for players aged 18 and over, and its demo is available on the studio's own site.
