Ascension: Rise To Riches Theme  

When we think about the title Ascension: Rise to Riches, it doesn’t really give us any clues to what the slot theme could be, once you see it for yourself it becomes apparent that it is based around the Egyptian era.

The backdrop in Ascension: Rise to Riches is nothing spectacular, there is not much significant detail in the background whatsoever, the only thing you will notice is a tiled wheel standing idle on the far left corner of the screen.

The title Ascension: Rise to Riches can be seen underneath Osiris on the left-hand side, with 7 amounts subject to that. It seems Old Skool has put most of the detail on the left side of the screen, leaving the right side a little bare.

Even though Ascension: Rise To Riches is simple in terms of visuals, we are compensated for this with Sound effects. Old Skool has compiled an array of sounds that really tie in with the theme, making it realistic and exciting all at the same time.

We know Egyptians loved everything Gold, so we can’t help but notice that Old Skool has embraced that in Ascension: Rise to Riches by making Gold the theme colour.

But will we have any luck winning some Gold of our own?
