Scepter of Anubis Slot Game Review

Quickspin’s Scepter of Anubis is a highly animated slot that offers much to both beginner and experienced online casino players. While our desktop experience was great, we found that the slot also runs perfectly well on mobile devices as well. Unlike many other online casino games in the market, Scepter of Anubis promises an overall smooth gaming experience.

Theme

Scepter of Anubis nails the implementation of its ancient Egyptian theme, which Quickspin has previously attempted with games like Golden Glyph, Golden Glyph 2, and Book of Duat. The online slot game presents an underworld setting, where Anubis, the guardian of souls, serves as the player’s guide to treasures found in ancient tombs and hidden chambers.

Graphics, Sounds, and Animation

We found that the art style and the animations of Scepter of Anubis are enough to keep anyone hooked. The game gets livelier with rich symbols derived from mythology, like Heart Scarabs for rebirth, Guardian Sphinxes for divine protection, and the statue of Horus for kingship and victory over chaos. However, the magic is limited to the slot grid only, as the background could be more refined.

The best part is seeing the symbol of Anubis (depicting afterlife) getting activated, where he stands tall in a reel and triggers a respin. The soundtrack for the game isn’t that impressive, but overall, the Scepter of Anubis offers a decent multimedia experience.

RTP, Payout, and Volatility

The Scepter of Anubis game has a default RTP of 96.06%, though the odds increase to 96.34% when an extra bet is active. However, there are three other variants with 94.19%, 92.07%, and 87.5%. It has a high volatility, which might be daunting to new players, but experienced players would enjoy the thrill and devise strategies accordingly.

The most rewarding part of the game is the possibility of winning up to 10,000x the bet amount. However, with an average hit frequency of 25.31%, hitting the 10,000x win is highly unlikely, with odds of 1 in 11,343,636 spins.

Gameplay

The Scepter of Anubis slot features a five-by-four grid and 40 paylines, which in our opinion is great. Players have the option to bet between €0.10 to €100, with 16 predefined bet options within this range to choose from. We would have appreciated the freedom to choose any number from the range, but it’s not outright an inconvenience. 

While there is a wide array of symbols in the game, the highest-paying ones are Anubis, Pharaoh, Sobek, and Horus. Here is a representation of how the wild symbol combinations make the Scepter of Anubis gameplay appealing:

Symbol	Payline of Three	Payline of Four	Payline of Five
Bronze, Silver, Gold	x0.2	x0.5	x1
Platinum Scarabs	x0.2	x0.5	x1
Falcon, Sphinx	x0.3	x0.6	x2
Horus	x0.4	x1	x3
Sobek	x0.5	x1	x5
Pharaoh	x0.8	x2	x10
Anubis	x1	x5	x20

Interestingly, Anubis is a dynamic symbol – this wild symbol can substitute all the other symbols on the reel other than the Scatter. However, a fully expanded Anubis over a reel will act like a Scatter symbol itself.

Features

This is one area where Scepter of Anubis scores top marks from us. It’s loaded with features, which go far to make the game more lucrative and exciting for the players.

Respins

If a stack of Anubis graces the reel, it has the chance to occupy the entire reel, triggering a respin. If two Anubis symbols get triggered at the same time, two respins will play out. It also acts as Wilds during the respins.

Combinations

Combinations of three, four, or five Scatter/Wild symbols will trigger 8, 12, or 16 free spins respectively. Players can use a canopic jar to increase the overall bet amount, but they risk losing it if there are no wins.

Super Bonus

The super bonus feature is triggered by a symbol that can only be found in the fifth reel. With varying incremental multipliers, this feature delivers a win whenever a Wild symbol activates it.

Buy the Spins

To increase the possibility of a bigger bonus, players can use the ‘Buy’ feature to enter some combination of free spins and bonus symbols directly. The 80x option guarantees 3+ bonus symbols for free spins, while the 160x option offers 2+ bonus symbols and one super bonus symbol.
