Treasure Of Anubis Slot Review
A moonlit desert, a sandstone gateway framing the reels, and a golden jackal-headed statue watching from the left edge. Treasure Of Anubis spends its ambition on that statue rather than on its mechanics, and it’s the better bet: a single dual-purpose symbol and one free spins round, on a 5×3 grid with 9 paylines, do more work here than most games manage with five bonus features. BGaming backs the lean structure with a Return to Player of 97.13% at mid to high volatility, which is generous territory for a classic line game.
That RTP is the number that justifies the minimalism. Fans of the studio’s catalogue, from Clash of Gods: Anubis vs Hades to Book of Hidden Tombs, will know the approach, and Wild Cash Gold shares the fondness for simple lines.
Symbols, Lines and the Anubis Wild
Wins land across nine fixed lines, left to right, and only the highest combination on each line counts. It’s a traditional setup, and the game doesn’t complicate it. All symbol values below are multiples of the total bet.
- Anubis (wild/scatter): 1x for two, 11x for three, 111x for four, 1,111x for five
- Pharaoh portrait: 0.6667x for two, 7.3333x for three, 74x for four, 740.6667x for five
- Scarab: 0.3333x for two, 3.6667x for three, 37x for four, 370.3333x for five
- Ankh: 0.8889x for three, 9.7778x for four, 98.6667x for five
- Vase: 0.4444x for three, 4.8889x for four, 49.3333x for five
- A, K: 0.2222x for three, 2.4444x for four, 24.6667x for five
- Q, J: 0.1111x for three, 1.2222x for four, 12.3333x for five
The paytable splits cleanly in two. The top three symbols, Anubis, the Pharaoh portrait and the Scarab, all start paying from two of a kind, so a single premium pair on an active line returns something. Everything below them needs three, and the royals carry the flat end of the scale: Q and J pay barely a tenth of the stake for a triple.
The Anubis symbol does double duty. As a wild, it substitutes for any symbol on a winning line apart from the scatter, and it’s also the richest symbol on the reels by a wide margin, out-paying the Pharaoh at every step. As a scatter, three or more of them in a single spin open the free spins round. One symbol carrying both roles is the game’s central idea, and it’s what gives a modest nine-line grid a genuine top end.
Stakes and Autoplay
The bet size is chosen from the total bet field before spinning, and higher stakes raise any win proportionally, so the multiples above hold at every stake. There’s no separate coin or line-bet arithmetic to manage, which suits a game this straightforward. The chosen value sits in its own display field, so the stake in play is always visible.
Autoplay is handled through the autospins settings. You pick the number of rounds, the button shows the count remaining, and two stop conditions can be armed: halt on any win, or halt when a bonus game is won. The second is the useful one here, since the free spins round is the game’s entire bonus offering. Holding the spin button also enables quick spins for faster sessions.
Around the reels, the artwork stays busy without crowding the play. The gateway carries a gold-trimmed cornice topped by a band of turquoise tiles, with a gold title plaque at its centre. A carved stone pedestal with a stepped top stands to the right, and a pale moon hangs behind the dunes. Spiky blue-green plants sit in the foreground corners, and a tall carved panel sits at the statue’s side.
One detail is more than decoration. A pillar beside the reels keeps the free spins ladder, 11, 22 and 33, in view at all times, so the scatter reward structure is readable without ever opening a menu.
Free Spins
Three or more Anubis symbols dropping in one spin in the main game trigger the round, and the count of scatters decides the reward.
- 3 scatters award 11 free spins
- 4 scatters award 22 free spins
- 5 scatters award 33 free spins
Retriggers work the same way, and there’s no fixed limit on how many times a round can extend itself. The only ceiling is the game’s maximum win, which caps everything the round can pay. With the Anubis symbol acting as both trigger and top payer, a retrigger needs the same symbol that’s already working hardest on the reels.
That structure makes the round self-contained. No multiplier ladder, no symbol upgrades, no side collection: what you trigger is what you play, and the only way it grows is another set of scatters. On a 33-spin trigger the reels get a long run at the top-paying symbol, and each Anubis that lands is simultaneously building lines and counting towards the next retrigger.
It’s also worth understanding what the round doesn’t do. There’s no separate bonus symbol, no pick game behind the scatters and no guaranteed feature within the spins themselves. The free spins round is the base game with the meter reset and the spin counter running, and everything it offers comes from the same nine lines, the same paytable and the same dual-purpose symbol.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.1/10
Playing this is a patient business. The desert stays quiet, line wins trickle in from pairs of premiums, and everything interesting routes through one jackal-headed symbol. That focus is exactly why somebody would choose it: when the Anubis lands, it’s simultaneously your best line, your wild and your way into the bonus.
The best thing here is the value. A 97.13% return on a nine-line game rewards loyalty few modern slots offer, and a top symbol worth 1,111x the stake keeps a small grid dangerous. The weakness is just as clear: one round is all there is, and it’s the base game again with a counter running. Anyone after wheels, picks or collect mechanics will find the tomb empty.
This is for players who like old-fashioned structure and a paytable they can hold in their head, and it isn’t for anyone who measures a slot by its feature list. Anubis keeps his treasures close, but he pays well for the effort.
