Play Legacy of Egypt

Legacy of Egypt by Play'n GO runs on a 5x3 setup with 30 fixed paylines and the free spins and multiplier features do most of the heavy work once they kick in. If you enjoy Egyptian-themed slots that don’t bury the reels under endless mechanics, this one keeps the formula simple while still throwing in a few decent twists. 

When it comes to themes for online slots, some providers can get confused, but Play'n GO clearly knew exactly what kind of game they wanted to make here. The grid sits on a balcony with a view of pyramids and desert, although once the reels get rolling you can’t really see much else.  

The higher-paying characters are comic-book versions of Egyptian gods. There’s a crocodile-headed figure, cat gods, royal characters, and a figure who we’ll assume to be Cleopatra herself sitting at the top of the regular paytable. For the soundtrack you get the usual slow drums and mysterious background music humming away. 

Special symbols: 

• The Scarab Wild substitutes for the regular paying symbols and also pays on its own if enough land across a payline.  
• The Pyramid Scatter unlocks the free spins features. 

Free Spins 

Three Pyramid Scatter symbols trigger the Wheel of Gods feature. 

Before the spins begin, a wheel appears to decide how many free spins you receive, and attaches a random multiplier, up to x10, to wins during the round.  

The Pyramid symbols act as Wilds during the free spins, and if two or more land at the same time, the Wheel of the Gods spins again to award up to eight pyramid spins. 

Pyramid Spins 

Pyramid spins play out with the multiplier from the triggering spin applied to all wins if they were triggered by two scatters. Three or more triggering the bonus doubles that multiplier. 

Legacy of Egypt keeps the mechanics nice and simple with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 30 fixed paylines active on every spin. Wins land from left to right by matching at least three symbols across adjacent reels. 

The game sticks closely to the older style of slot structure, which honestly feels quite refreshing sometimes. 

Because the setup is straightforward, the pacing moves along nicely. Base game spins are quick, the symbols are easy to follow, and the features don’t take forever to explain. 

For more sun, sand and pyramids, try these games: 

• Book of Dead GO Collect from Play'n GO brings collectible Gold Staters and the Treasure Vault feature to the classic 5x3, 10 payline format. 
• Scarab Rising Megaways from Blueprint Gaming mixes 15,625 ways to win, several unlockable modifiers, and two separate bonus rounds. 
• Eye of Horus the original 5x3, 10 payline, Egyptian themed slot with expanding wilds and free spins symbol upgrades. 

We actually had a pretty good time with Legacy of Egypt. It doesn’t pretend to be some revolutionary release packed with fifteen mechanics fighting each other for screen space. Instead, it sticks to a familiar Egyptian setup and focuses on keeping the gameplay smooth and easy to follow. 

The artwork still holds up nicely too. The comic-book style gods give the reels a bit more personality than the usual ultra-serious pharaoh designs that appear in half the genre. We also liked how the bonus features stay simple without feeling flat.
