Tales of Egypt

Tales of Egypt is a Pragmatic Play adventure slot that sends an explorer into the tombs of the pharaohs. Hieroglyph-covered temple walls frame five reels, three rows and 20 paylines, and stakes range from 0.2 € to 200 € per spin.

The explorer doubles as the wild and the top-paying symbol, while the great pyramid acts as a scatter that also substitutes and opens a free spins round of up to 10 games. Medium volatility and a 94.11 % RTP give it a classic, steady feel, with a maximum win of 200000 €. It suits fans of traditional Egyptian slots who prefer straightforward mechanics over complex bonus systems.

The whole screen is styled as a temple wall carved with hieroglyphs, which sets the scene for an expedition into ancient Egypt. Explorers, scarab beetles and Egyptian deities share the reels with lower-value card ranks.

A control bar along the bottom keeps stake selection simple, and a soundtrack accompanies the spins. The graphics load quickly in any modern browser, so there is nothing to download before playing.

Tales of Egypt sits in the medium-variance bracket: small wins come along at a regular pace, and the bigger payouts need a little patience. That profile works for newcomers trying the genre and for regulars who like a familiar Egyptian theme.

For a themed collection, it pairs naturally with other Pragmatic Play titles set along the Nile, such as Ancient Egypt Classic and Eye of Cleopatra.

The reels hold two groups of regular symbols:

• Premium symbols: the explorer, scarabs and a set of deities. They pay from up to 50 coins at the bottom of the scale to a maximum of 5,000 coins.
• Card ranks A, K, Q, J and 10: the lower tier, paying from up to 25 coins to a maximum of 600 coins.

The value of each win depends on the symbol and how many land together on a payline. Players pick their stake in the control bar before spinning; the payout table lists 0.2 € as the minimum and 200 € as the maximum per spin.

Twenty paylines cross the 5x3 grid, and three matching symbols on a line are enough for a payout. Because both the explorer and the pyramid can act as wilds, there are two ways to complete a line that is one symbol short.

The explorer wild is the most valuable symbol on the reels: five on a payline pay up to 5,000 coins.

The bonus features are simple but effective:

• Explorer wild: replaces every symbol except the scatter. Three on a line pay up to 250 coins and five pay up to 5,000 coins.
• Great pyramid scatter: this symbol also acts as a wild and can substitute for other symbols. It pays anywhere on the reels, from up to 2 coins for three to up to 200 coins for five.
• Raiding pyramid feature: three or more pyramids anywhere trigger the free spins feature, which awards up to 10 free spins.

There is no gamble option, so wins are banked as they land. Autoplay is available for players who want to run a sequence of spins at a fixed stake. Because the pyramid is both scatter and wild, it can help complete line wins in the base game as well as starting the free spins.
