Dawn of Egypt slot review (Play’n GO)

Play’n GO has pretty much-patented video slots with an Egyptian theme

To name a few Egyptian slots by this successful slot games developer from the top of our head: Legacy of Dead, Doom of Egypt and, of course, the most famous of all, Book of Dead.

With Dawn of Egypt, they are entering familiar territory. Do we mind? Not at all.

The sense of adventure, the mysticism and the typical design of Egypt fit video slots like pizza and pepperoni or mustard and ketchup on a hotdog. As if they were made for each other.

Although Dawn of Egypt does not have the most original theme, there is more than enough to enjoy.

Play’n GO revamped the wilds, scatters, free spins features and symbols. And to top it all off, within the free spins bonus, you can also win extra spins, which, with a little luck, are very lucrative.

The RTP, variance and naximum win of Play ‘n GO’s Dawn of Egypt

The payout percentage is 96.23%, which is around the average RTP of an average online slot. No reason to complain here, but please note: there are also versions of this slot in circulation with a significantly lower RTP.

According to Play ‘n GO, you can win up to 5000x the total bet, which matches that of slots like Book of Dead and many other slots released recently as Black Mamba, Divine Showdown and Doom of Egypt.

The variance is medium-high: Play ‘n GO rates the volatility as “high,” but many slots are rated “very high” by Play ‘n GO. Wins exceeding 1,000x the bet are possible here. If you manage to get a win above 2,000x the bet, it will be a miracle!

Dawn of Egypt gameplay and features

Dawn of Egypt’s setup is classic for an online video slot: 5 reels, 3 rows of symbols and 10 fixed paylines.

Betting starts at $€ 0.10 per reel and runs up to $€ 100 per reel.

Symbols and payouts

The pyramid is the premium and most important symbol of the game: it activates the free spins bonus. Spin 5 of them, and you win 1,000 (!) x the total bet.

Furthermore, the scarabs are the wild symbol. They replace all symbols except the scatters. Five wilds on an active payline reward you 100 x the total bet.

The beautifully designed God Horus is the highest paying regular symbol: 100 x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind.

All other high symbols earn you between 10 x and 40 x the bet at five of the same.

The card symbols J, Q, K and A all have the same value and yield a maximum of 8 x the bet.

Free spins bonus

Three or more scatters get you a twist on the free spins wheel: you earn a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 20 free spins.

During each free spin, one of the premium symbols is chosen as a special symbol. All other premium symbols change into this symbol.

The scatters are also wild during the free spins. That combination of extra wilds and more premium symbols can already result in cool prizes, but it can get even better.

If you spin two scattered pyramids during the free spins, you’ll earn extra Pyramid Spins (up to 20).

The premium symbol was active when the Pyramid Spins were activated will remain active during all Pyramid Spins. If you’re lucky and Horus or Bastet visit you, then you can take home a big paycheck during this free spins-in-a-free spins bonus.

Both types of free spins can be triggered indefinitely.

Our verdict on the Dawn of Egypt slot?

As far as we’re concerned, Dawn of Egypt is another top-notch Play’n GO slot.

The pace is wonderfully fast, the game looks stunning, and you can make big bucks with it?

What more could a high variance slots fan wish for?

Nothing!
