Free slot: Spirit of Egypt : Hold & Win

How Spirit of Egypt : hold and win works

In the world of online casinos, ancient Egypt is one of the most highlighted eras in slot machines. With its latest creation, Spirit of Egypt: hold and win is no exception to the rule. It's a classic slot that awaits you, consisting of a starting grid of 3 horizontal rows and 5 vertical columns. Spirit of Egypt: hold and win is a slot machine that consists of a feature in the base game as well as bonus rounds.

As mentioned in the introduction to this slot, Spirit of Egypt has a feature in the base game. To trigger it, you need to get at least 6 symbols representing a scarab in a red ball with some yellow inside.

As soon as you have these 6 symbols, you get three free spins. Each time a symbol appears on your starting grid, you are awarded three more free spins. If no symbols appear during these three spins, then your functionality in the base game ends immediately.

The functionality in the basic game is a bit special. As soon as a symbol appears, it has a certain value. As soon as it forms a column or a group of symbols, its value increases. As you can see in the following screen, single symbols have a much lower value than those that form a group. Mini, major and grand symbols can appear. The value of these symbols is 25 times your original bet, 250 times your original bet and 5,000 times your original bet.

The different symbols of Spirit of Egypt : hold and win

Spirit of Egypt: hold and win is a slot machine that consists of several different symbols. First of all you have the wild symbol, represented by a woman. The wild symbol is used to replace all symbols in the slot, except for the bonus feature symbols and the one in the base game.

Then there are 4 premium symbols. These are called premium symbols because they appear less often than the other symbols, but pay more consistently when they connect. They are represented by :

• A red snake ;

• The eye of Udjat shown in green;

The value displayed is for a starting bet of €1.

The other two premium symbols are represented by :

• The blue Ankh cross;

• A kind of flower represented by the colour purple.

The starting bet is also €1 in the following screen.

Finally, there are four other symbols present in this slot machine. These are called non-premium symbols because they appear more often than the other symbols, but pay less consistently when they connect. They are represented by the strongest symbols in a pack of cards: Ace, King, Queen and Jack. In the following screen you can see that all four symbols have the same value. The value shown is for a starting bet of €1.

The different connections of Spirit of Egypt: hold and win

Spirit of Egypt: hold and win is a slot that consists of a classic starting grid. However, it is a slot with a lot of paylines, as you can see in the following screen. Indeed, there are 20 different paylines to be counted in this slot.

For a connection to be valid, a symbol must appear at least once on the first three columns of a payline. The further a symbol goes on your slot machine, the bigger your final win will be. It is important to note that during the feature in the base game, the connections do not work in the same way, as there are no connection lines.

How the Spirit of Egypt: hold and win bonus works

As mentioned in the introduction, Spirit of Egypt: hold and win is a slot game that has a bonus feature. To trigger it, you need to get at least three times the scatter symbol represented by a pyramid door on the same spin. The symbols can only appear on your slot machine column 2, 3 and 4. Once you have three symbols on your starting grid, you are awarded 10 free spins.

There is only one feature to focus on during your bonus rounds. On each spin, between two and five columns of your slot machine will be selected and the same symbol will appear on the line. For example, in the following screen, two columns (highlighted in red) will have the same symbol appear in the same row and not in the same column. The following screen shows that the symbol "Q" will be on the same line in columns 3 and 4, as will the symbol "A".

Our opinion on Spirit of Egypt : hold and win

Spirit of Egypt: hold and win is a very good slot machine. First of all, we have to highlight the beautiful graphics of Playson as well as the sound atmosphere that will plunge you directly into the world of ancient Egypt. As far as the slot itself is concerned, you won't get bored on it. With a feature in the base game as well as free games to unlock, Spirit of Egypt: hold and win is also an extremely volatile slot. On this slot, you can win up to 6,000 times your original bet. Unfortunately for this slot, the RTP (theoretical return to players) is only 95.43%, which puts it in the lower middle range of slots on the market. As for the bonus feature, you will have to unlock it with paid spins as the 'buy bonus' option is not available.
