Tomb of Nefertiti slot review (Nolimit City)

Nefertiti is a famous lady in Egyptian mythology. Her tomb filled with ornaments is what this Nolimit City video slot is all about.

For ages, it was believed that the beautiful queen Nefertiti (“The Beautiful One Has Come”) was Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s mother.

She lies buried in the Valley of the Kings near Thebes, just like her husband, Akhnaton.

In this beautifully-designed slot, you can have a go at trying to grab your share of the tomb’s treasures.

Nolimit City is well on its way to becoming one of our favourite providers, and when they release a new slot, our heart skips a small beat.

We have missed this joyful feeling of anticipation from a provider like Netent already for a couple of years now. It goes to show smaller slots providers are taking over the online slots world.

Tomb of Nefertiti has plenty of action to offer: re-spins with progressive multipliers, free spins and mystery symbols.

Gameplay and features of the Tomb of Nefertiti slot

Tomb of Nefertiti has 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols. In the base game, you play with 20 fixed paylines.

Bets start from $€ 0.20 per spin, and the maximum bet is $€ 100 per spin.

This slot’s pace is fast, so make sure your balance is sufficient (or lower your bets) to avoid running out of your money within 10 minutes.

Fortunately, it is also possible for your balance to go up just as fast.

What are the theoretical RTP, the variance and the maximum win of the Tomb of Nefertiti Slot?

The theoretical payout percentage is 96.19%, which is acceptable and average compared to other online slots.

According to Nolimit City, the volatility of this slot is medium.

Funny enough, though, when you play the slot, you start to feel that it is more a medium to high variance slot.

In any case, a medium variance slot implies that your top wins are usually around 250x to 500x the bet. Maybe in exceptional circumstances, will a win above the 500x the bet be paid out.

In 10 billion (simulated) spins, Nolimit City itself has achieved a maximum payout of just under 3,800 times the total bet. We expect that wins as these are unique. For sure, you are not going to spin 10 billion times!

Re-spins with progressive multipliers

After each winning spin, you gain an additional free re-spin, where are non-winning symbols and wilds (if any) are frozen.

The good news is that, after each winning spin, the multiplier is increased by +1.

You can get up to  2 free respins in the base game so that you can end up with a multiplier of x3.

Symbols and payouts

The premium symbols consist of all the usual well-known Egyptian symbols: Ra, Anubis, the Scarab and Bastet. If you spin a 5-of-a-kind of any of these, you get a win between 7.5 x and 25 x the bet.

The Stone Jug is the only medium-paying symbol and hands you a win of 5 x the bet if you get 5 of them on an active payline.

As usual, the card symbols (10, J, Q, K or A) are the lower symbols. These yield wins between 2 x and 4 x the total bet if you spin a 5-of-a-kind.

Curse of Nefertiti Feature

The curse of Nefertiti appears randomly. The name of this feature is somehow misleading, though, as this feature can be very lucrative.

Here, the middle three reels are filled with the same symbol (so nine identical symbols). It can be any symbol, except for the Free Spin scatters.

If you manage to spin the same symbol on the 1^st reel and maybe also on the 5^th reel, you can get some serious wins. Also here, you can get up to 2 free re-spins with the accompanying multipliers.

But there is more.

Wild Raider

A Wild Raider gets you at least two wilds, but potentially up to 9 wilds on the middle three reels. In that case, you are certainly going to grab some massive wins. 

Wild Raider Spins

The Wild Raider Spins is where you can land the real serious wins. It is the free spins bonus, and you get it if you manage to spin at least three scatters (Bonus symbols).

3 scatters award 10 free spins, and you get an additional 5 free spins for every extra scatter.

• You play with 20 extra paylines (so now you have 40 paylines)
• You get a Wild Raider after each spin.
• You get an additional free spin each time you spin a scatter

There is even more good news: the multiplier does not reset.

The key to success is to build up a big multiplier before hitting that premium 5-of-a-kind. Get that massive hit and do the celebration dance!

Our verdict on the Tomb of Nefertiti slot

Tomb of Nefertiti is an amazingly entertaining Nolimit City slot.

Even though they claim it to be a medium variance slot, it feels more like a high variance slot.

The pace is fast, and because of the progressive multipliers and re-spins, you can get some massive wins. The features bring sufficient depth and complexity to the game without overdoing it.

Yes, we have seen such Egyptian-themed slots hundreds of times before, but not often did we enjoy playing an “Egyptian” slot as much as this time!

4 out of 5 stars.
