Tomb of Akhenaten slot review (Nolimit City)

Tomb of Akhenaten – a thrilling and visually appealing slot

Nolimit City ends the year 2020 with a stunner. After we got spoiled with excellent slots like Punk Rocker, the Deadwood slot or Book of Shadows, we are now ready for Tomb of Akhenaten.

Akhenaten wasn’t the most famous pharaoh because that honour is reserved for Ramses, Cheops or Djoser, the pyramid’s creator.

I like it, though, to play games and, at the same time, expand my knowledge of the great Ancient Egyptian history. For those who are interested: Akhenaten reigned from 1353 to 1336 BC.

The slot is exhilarating, thanks to the excellent animations. Yes, it helps that the slot has some insane win potential.

Tomb of Akhenaten: the maximum win is over 26,000x

26,261x the bet, to be exact. Even for Nolimit City standards, it’s brutal. Only Book of Shadows and Dragon Tribe have a higher maximum win.

Tomb of Akhenaten slot – Gameplay and Features

The slot starts with 5 reels and 3 rows of symbols and makes use of the win-all-ways mechanic. There are 243 ways to win.

The slot also features a thrilling Sticky Win Spins feature:

• If you win, the 4^th row of symbols is added, and you get 1024 ways to win.
• Do you win again? In that case, row number 5 is added, giving you 3125 ways to win.

The 5 high-paying symbols are five Egyptian Gods: Bastet (head of a cat), Thoth (head of a bird with a long beak), Sobek (head of a crocodile), Anubis (head of a jackal) and the Sun god Ra (head of a falcon).

The 5 low-paying symbols are the 10, J, Q, K and A.

You also have Wild symbols (a female adventurer) and Scatters (Tutankhamun masks).

Wilds and pyramid wilds

As soon as the 4^th or 5^th row of symbols appear, you potentially have random symbols that convert into Wild symbols (the female adventurer).

If you land another win (if you get the 3^rd consecutive free respin), pyramids appear on top of the 5 reels. If a red meter ends on top of one or more of the pyramids, you get 1, 2 or 3 Pyramid Wilds. On each of the reels!

How do you win the free spins?

You’ll activate 8, 10 or 12 free spins (Akhenaten Spins) if you spin 3, 4 or 5 Scatters.

As usual, Nolimit City also offers the Nolimit Bonus Feature Buy. You can buy 8 free spins for 65x the original bet and 12 free spins for 105x the original bet.

During the bonus round, each Scatter gets you an additional free spin.

Free spins bonus round: Akhenaten Spins

The main advantage (compared to the main game) is that you have a total multiplier, which increases by +1 after each win. It’s not reset, and there are no limits.

The recipe is simple. It would be best if you spun as many wins as possible at the beginning so that you end up with a substantial multiplier. If you manage to get a massive win afterwards, we’re talking about a serious win. Remember that you’ve 3125 ways to win!

Payout percentage (RTP) is 96.09% to 96.45%.

The RTP is 96.09%, which is slightly below the average RTP of online slots.

However, the RTP is either 96.34% or 96.45% if you use the Nolimit Bonus Feature Buy (8 free spins or 12 free spins).

Unfortunately, some reliable online casinos can also offer this game with lower payout rates. In short, it is worth checking the game rules.

Tomb of Akhenaten slot – the variance (volatility) is very high

It should not come as a surprise that we’re talking about a very high variance slot (9 out of 10 according to Nolimit City).

The top wins will exceed 5,000x or even 10,000x easily! Like many other Nolimit City slots.

The max win is over 26,000x and is based on 10 billion simulations.
