Coins Of Egypt Slot Review

Graphics, Sound Effects and Looks

The slot game is set within an ancient Egyptian temple with Egyptian gods Anubis and Horus on either sides of it. From intricate Ruby Eagle and Emerald Snake Seals and Chests symbolizing treasures (in this case seals or coins) to the desert insects, palm trees and scarab beetles, the view is indeed a site to behold. In terms of soundtrack i.e. the ancient Egyptian background music along with other sound effects, NetEnt has out done themselves. True to its rich Egyptian theme, the visual takes us to the golden era with its sandy and brown color appearance and pharaohs depicting their higher order by being coins that can be collected and offers up to 2 to 15 times the bet amount. It is highly recommended to those who loved learning about the ancient monarchs and their history when in high school while the others can come just for the treasure.

Game Play and Configurations

Although Coins of Egypt has a fun and user-friendly interface, it can be tricky. From varying coin size to auto play tab, it is a bit of a read. But, no worries, it has all been depicted quite thoroughly on the slot panel as well as below:

BET: On the slot panel, at the bottom of the game, on the left corner, it’s written 'BET’, which can be adjusted using the LEVEL icon that ultimately decides the desired betting amount. For each level, there is a different maximum or minimum amount that can be adjusted according to the player’s wishes. In accordance to Level 1 to Level 10, the range would be from 20p to £200.

COIN VALUE: It is located at the bottom right side of the slot panel. It ranges the amount of the bet from 0.1 to 1.00 part of the total eligible amount deciding the maximum and minimum value of the bet placed at each level. The initial amount at level 1 is 20p, being the lowest and £20 the highest, which increases with each level up but, it can be reduced to the lowest possible amount using the COIN VALUE option.

AUTO PLAY: Continuously spinning and playing may lead you to not actually enjoying the game. To avoid this, NetEnt introduced the AUTO PLAY option in order to let the players have fun while the number of spins can be fixed and automated. The players can choose from 10 to a total of 1000 spins if they wish.

MAX BET: To jump to the maximum bet amount of £200 that can be placed or the maximum level of difficulty to be enjoyed, all you have to do is click on the MAX BET option on the slot panel right next to the spin icon.

Apart from these, there are other icons and keys that are self-explanatory like the sound icon showing a speaker, a question mark, pliers or arrow keys. There is another icon namely 'AUTO' which again represents the Auto Bet feature. There are +/- signs to increase or decrease the amount or level to help you along the game as well.
