Grid Layout and Pay System
this slot runs on a spacious 6×5 layout where wins trigger on 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid – the Pay Anywhere system means Anubis doesn’t care about paylines, just raw symbol density.
After each win, the Cascade mechanic clears the winning combo and drops new symbols into the empty spaces. This opens the door for multiple wins in a single paid spin, provided the grid cooperates. The paytable spans nine symbols with payouts scaling by symbol count:
Cascade Multipliers
Every paid spin starts at x1 multiplier. Each winning cascade that follows doubles the value – x2, x4, x8, x16, and climbing to a hard x1024 cap. Once the cascade sequence ends, the multiplier resets to x1 for the next paid spin.
That makes the base game straightforward to follow, but leaves room for those rare grid moments where Anubis shifts from god of the dead to something closer to a very strict bonus accountant. A decent chain moving from x2 to x4 to x8 can feel genuinely tense when the next symbol drop decides whether the multiplier keeps climbing or the sequence ends cold.
Free Spins Trigger and Gamble
Free Spins start from 3 or more Scatters in the base game and always award 10 spins. The trigger count determines the starting multiplier: x8 for 3 Scatters, x16 for 4, x32 for 5, and x64 for 6.
Before the round begins, players can gamble that starting multiplier. A win doubles it up to an x256 ceiling. A loss removes the bonus completely – Anubis clearly charges extra for optimism. During the round itself, winning cascades double the multiplier up to x1024, then reset to the starting value after each spin. Landing 3 or more Scatters again adds 10 extra Free Spins.
Bonus Bet Options
this slot includes three Bonus Bet choices that alter the bonus hunt mechanics:
| Bonus Bet | Cost Multiplier | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | x1 | Base Free Spins trigger odds |
| Enhanced | x3 | Increases Free Spins trigger chance by 10x |
| Random Multiplier | x20 | Activates random starting multiplier for Free Spins round |
| Guaranteed x256 | x250 | Sets Free Spins starting multiplier to x256 |
The x250 setting is the most expensive option, but it guarantees the highest starting multiplier before any gamble or cascade doubling occurs. These options make the base game significantly more expensive, especially at the higher tiers.
Bonus Buy Options
Players can also purchase direct access to the Free Spins round with different minimum starting multipliers:
| Bonus Buy | Cost | Starting Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Buy | x100 | At least x8 |
| Mid-Tier Buy | x200 | At least x16 |
| High-Tier Buy | x400 | At least x32 |
| Premium Buy | x800 | At least x64 |
| Random Buy | x175 | Random minimum multiplier |
The x800 buy guarantees the strongest starting position, while the x175 random option offers a middle ground between cost and uncertainty.
RTP / Volatility / and Bet Range
this slot uses medium volatility with a 27.85% hit frequency, which typically signals more balanced session rhythms. The 10000x max win potential offsets that median feel – the ceiling is serious enough to keep base-game chains feeling consequential.
The difference between lowest and highest is too large to ignore – always check the game info screen before playing, because the same Anubis charges different temple tax depending on casino settings. The 96.52% default is the headline figure here.
Bet range spans €0.20 to €240, covering both low-stake testing and heavy spins. That spread is standard for Pragmatic Play releases with Bonus Bet and Bonus Buy options attached.
Theme and Presentation
this slot follows Pragmatic Play’s established divine template with Egyptian styling. The backdrop shows Anubis’ domain with animated embers and lightning, while the reels sit wrapped in gold. The big man himself occupies the usual god’s corner, judging the grid with the face of someone who has seen too many dead spins. Art quality is solid, sound design carries weight, and the SFX land cleanly – though there are no real surprises here. Pragmatic Play knew exactly which shelf to take this theme from, added Egyptian paint, and called the divine department for approval.
