Curse of the Mummies (Relax Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Curse of the Mummies Slot Information

I’ve put plenty of spins into Curse of the Mummies on its 5x3 grid with 243 ways to win. It’s high volatile, has a base RTP of 95.96%, and a hit frequency of 29.72%. Stakes range from 0.25 to 100 per spin, and it plays smoothly on mobile and desktop. Wins land for three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel. The setup is simple, the pace brisk, and the tomb backdrop adds a spookier edge.

The lower paying symbols are the Ankh, Lotus flower, Scorpion, and Cobra, paying 2x to 2.4x for five of a kind. The higher paying symbols are mummies with green, blue, purple, and red backgrounds, paying 3.2x to 8x for five. A golden scarab acts as the wild and substitutes for all symbols except scatters. Scatters are golden crypts; green gems mark normal scatters and red gems mark super scatters. Landing positions can stack, which helps set up the bonus.

Curse of the Mummies Slot Features

Within this mummy filled tomb, the set of features keeps things punchy. You get Wild Symbol, Rise From the Crypt, Bonus Game, and Bonus Buy. The standout twist is Rise From the Crypt, which turns a random pay symbol into a scatter or wild during the base game. The bonus game is all about a total multiplier that carries through the 15 free spins. It’s lean, to the point, and built around piling on multipliers rather than gimmicks.

Wild Symbol in Curse of the Mummies

The wild symbol in Curse of the Mummies is a golden scarab. It helps create more winning combinations by substituting for other symbols, except for the scatter and super scatter. In my sessions it often stitched together 243 ways outcomes that would otherwise miss by one reel. Scarabs appear across the reels, and when Rise From the Crypt fires, you can see extra wilds appear from converted symbols, which keeps the base game ticking over while you wait on a full scatter spread.

Rise From the Crypt in Curse of the Mummies

Rise From the Crypt can randomly activate on any spin. When it wakes, a random symbol type is transformed into either scatter or wild symbols. This is the same flavour as the studio’s earlier work, but with the Egyptian twist. The change applies across the grid, so a mundane layout can suddenly line up stacked wilds or a near wall of crypts. It’s the nudge the base game needs to push towards either a hit or a bonus trigger.

I’ve seen Rise From the Crypt set up four reels of scatters, then miss the final reel by a whisker. I’ve also seen it flood the screen with extra wilds for tidy line-ups. The feature doesn’t pay on its own; it prepares the board. When it lines up five reels of scatters, you’re straight into the bonus game with 15 free spins and a starting multiplier that depends on how many normal and super scatters were in view.

Bonus Game in Curse of the Mummies

You activate the bonus game by landing at least one scatter on all five reels, which awards 15 free spins. You can land one to three scatters on each reel, and one super scatter can land on each reel. This trigger method feels different to the usual three-scatter approach, and the grid often teases with stacks that stop short. When it lands, the tomb opens and you’re into a brisk round built on a single total multiplier.

Each triggering scatter contributes a win multiplier of either 1x, 2x, 3x, or 5x, while each super scatter adds 10x. The summed multiplier is then applied to any wins created during the whole feature. The maths can get chunky. A modest screen can swing hard once the multiplier climbs, and the 243 ways layout helps prizes connect from reel one. This is where Curse of the Mummies moves from eerie base game to the meat of its pay model.

You can retrigger by landing at least one scatter on each reel again, which adds five free spins and new multipliers to the total. In my play, retriggers were streaky, but when they arrived the win curve jumped. The stated potential climbs to 12532x the bet, though the high volatility means many rounds land well short. It’s a case of light base action and a feature that can go from flat to thrilling when the multiplier stack is kind.

Bonus Buy in Curse of the Mummies

If available, the Bonus Buy offers four choices. 80x buys a regular five-scatter trigger. 140x guarantees at least one super scatter. 200x guarantees at least two super scatters. 260x guarantees at least three super scatters. The RTP nudges depending on the pick: 96.14% for 80x, 96.07% for 140x, 96.02% for 200x, and 96.10% for 260x. I found the mid-tier option fair value when hunting a head start on the multiplier without paying top whack for three reds.

Curse of the Mummies: Slot Verdict

Blue Guru leans into a spookier side of Egypt here while stopping short of full horror. The base game is pretty average, with 243 ways to win and the transformation feature doing most of the lifting. The bonus round steps things up with potentially juicy multipliers, and it’s less fiddly than some of the studio’s other outings. Rich graphics and a clear hit plan make Curse of the Mummies a respectable Egypt game with more pros than cons.

It won’t rewrite the genre, and there’s room for improvement, but I had a good time chasing five-reel scatter starts and stacking the multiplier. Free spins with a big total on board are hard to argue with, even if many runs fizzle. As a package, it’s a polished Egypt game that shows promise. If you like your features short, sharp, and to the point, this tomb is worth a punt when you fancy high risk with proper upside.
