Anubis 2 DoubleMax Slot Review
Yggdrasil Gaming associate, Reflex Gaming, takes us to the heart of Egypt in search of lost treasure in Anubis 2 DoubleMax!
Following the success of Reflex Gaming’s Secret of Anubis, we continue our adventures in the highly-anticipating sequel, Anubis 2 DoubleMax. This highly volatile instalment combines a classic theme with characteristic features that captivate seasoned players and newcomers.
The 5-reel layout and 20 fixed pay lines create opportunities to win both ways when 3 or more matching symbols align, with a 5-of-a-kind sequence creating even bigger rewards. The Anubis Shuffle feature kicks things up a notch, triggering after any losing spin and causing the reels to shuffle into a winning combination.
Will you rise or fall at the hand of Anubis? Let’s play on and find out!

Anubis Shuffle Feature
The Anubis Shuffle feature can trigger during any non-winning spin at random. Once active, all 5 reels will shuffle positions in order to create a winning sequence on the reels.
Each winning shuffle will increase the Multiplier Ladder to the next available step after the win is paid. If a win is not produced as a result of this function, the feature will end and the Multiplier Ladder is reset to x1.
In addition, special Wild and Super Wild positions are marked on the Multiplier Ladder at the start of the feature. When the Multiplier Ladder reaches a marked position, depending on which symbol it displays, Wilds or Super Wilds are added to random reel positions. The Super Wild is a special stacked symbol of 3 high, portrayed as a single full-height Adventurer icon.
Our Verdict
Anubis 2 DoubleMax had so much to live up to given the huge success of the original, Secret of Anubis release. As we’ve found with a handful of sequels, Anubis 2 DoubleMax doesn’t quite stand as tall as its predecessor.
Reflex Gaming has stripped Anubis 2 DoubleMax of the multiple features found in Secret of Anubis, including any form of Free Spins/Respins functions. The Anubis Shuffle feature and DoubleMax mechanic are a rich source of entertainment, but they’re not durable for extended periods of time.
There is, in fact, a Golden Bet and Bonus Buy option (where applicable) for players to play with, but without a Free Spins round, these will only get you closer to the Anubis Shuffle Feature. It’s a hard pill to swallow when you find a sequel to be less impressive than the original, and Anubis 2 DoubleMax feels like quite the setback, right down to the statistics.
