Free slot: Golden Glyph

How Golden Glyph works

Golden Glyph is a slot machine released in October 2019 by the online gaming provider Quickspin. Rediscover the widely used Egyptian universe in an original and elaborate format. With a RTP slightly above 96%, Golden Glyph ranks in the middle of the pack. Its volatility is high and you can win up to 13,185 times your bet.

There is a grid of 7 columns and 7 rows composed of hieroglyphs and legendary characters of ancient Egypt. The connections are made thanks to the Cluster Pays technology in addition to a system of tumbles and a Power Wild symbol that replaces one of the spaces left by a connection. Golden Glyph’s special features are called Power-Ups, they are placed in a random order and are activated when a connection is made with a Power Wild. There are 3 different Power-Ups in addition to the Free Spin Bonus feature:

• Blaze of Fire. This Power-Up is a randomly placed bomb that will erase the entire column and reel where it is located, paying for each symbol in the process.

• Eye of Horus. A minor symbol that is chosen randomly, will be removed from all cells where it is located while paying for each position.

• Golden Scarab. A scarab flies to replace between 4 and 10 symbols randomly by a Wild.

• Bonus. 9 free spins are triggered with a Golden Glyph Wild, but we'll talk about the free spins bonus a little later.

The different symbols of Golden Glyph

In Golden Glyph, in addition to Wild and Power-Ups, 7 symbols are used to get connections, here is the value of the winnings from their connections starting from a 1€ bet. The major symbols with the highest value :

• Horus

• Cleopatra

• Tutankhamun

And the minor symbols represented by Egyptian hieroglyphics.

The different connections in Golden Glyph

Connections are made when at least 5 identical symbols land in a cluster. The symbols used during the connection disappear, dropping the symbols above them using the tumble function, and a Power Wild symbol replaces one of the empty boxes.

How the Golden Glyph bonus works

A wheel on the left side of the grid places the Power-Ups in random order, except for the Bonus which is always in 5th position. Each connection made with a Power Wild activates a Power-Up, so making 5 such connections in a single spin triggers the Free Spin Bonus by activating the 5th Power-Up. The bonus starts with 9 free spins and adds the famous Golden Glyph. As a Wild, he replaces any symbol randomly and multiplies the winnings. In fact, the Golden Glyph has a multiplier to which +1 is added each time it is used in a connection. It remains for the duration of the bonus. 3 free spins will be added if the Power-Up Bonus is activated during a free spin.
