Ankh of Anubis (Play’n GO) – Review & Demo Play

Ankh of Anubis RTP and Wagering

As soon as I spun Ankh of Anubis, the 3-4-4-4-3 layout and 576 ways stood out. Stakes run from 10p to £100, with a default RTP of 96.20% and high volatility that isn’t brutal. Wins can cluster across adjacent reels, so sessions can feel steady before a sudden burst. The headline figure is 15,000x max win, which is massive for this studio. I rate the maths as fair for both low stakes grinders and punt-and-run shots when I fancy a hit-and-quit.

Ankh of Anubis Symbols and Audio & Video Design

Ankh of Anubis blends ancient Egypt with a slick sci-fi twist. A giant planet hangs on the horizon, pyramids sit beside high-tech structures, and sleek craft glide across the sky. The reels pop on a diamond-shaped frame, and the animations are clean without stealing focus from the spins. The soundtrack leans classic rather than space opera, which suits the pace. It looks sharp on mobile or desktop, and the theme sells the contrast without turning the whole thing into a gimmick.

On the paytable, there are 10 symbols: 8 regulars plus Wild and Scatter. Anubis is the Wild and substitutes, paying 10x for five of a kind. The pyramid is the Scatter. The Ankh is the best standard, worth 5x for five. Scarab hits 2.5x, while bracelet and amulet go 1.5x. Card suits cover the lows at 0.6x down to 0.3x for five. With wins paid across adjacent reels, these values combine well when the screen lines up.

Ankh of Anubis Bonus Features

In the base game, the Anubis Wild feature pops at random and drops extra wilds on the grid. They can land 1, 2, 3, or 4 symbols high, so full stacks are in play and an entire reel can go wild. On the 3-4-4-4-3 setup that can mean a rush of ways wins. I've had those moments where a couple of stacked reels line up and the screen jumps, which is exactly what you want in a high variance slot.

The main event is Free Spins. Land 3, 4, or 5 pyramid Scatters in view and you get 10, 15, or 20 spins. Hit 3 or more Scatters again during the feature and it retriggers with no cap, which is where things can snowball. The asymmetric reels love a wild push, so any retrigger gives you another shot at lining up stacked reels across the middle. I've had bonus rounds that fizzle and others that build pressure then crack open.

During Free Spins, every Ankh symbol is collected. When the count hits 5, Anubis Wilds trigger and extra wilds drop onto the reels at the end of that spin. The collection carries over across spins within the round, then resets when the feature ends. This meter-driven push can turn a slow bonus into a decent screen, especially if it lands back to back with stacked wilds. It is not flashy, but it does the job when the ways align.

Ankh of Anubis Final Thoughts

Ankh of Anubis hits a sweet spot for me: simple features that can go big, a layout that feels fresh, and maths that lets sessions breathe. The 15,000x ceiling is the headline, but the way stacked wilds and retriggers weave together is what keeps me spinning. Volatility runs high without feeling savage, so I can grind at 10p or take a shot at higher stakes. Clean visuals, tidy audio, and a sci-fi Egypt wrap finish it off nicely.
