Mummy’s Jewels Slot review

Pragmatic Play continues to push the envelope when it comes to thematic online slot games, and Mummy’s Jewels is a shining example of the developer’s commitment to creativity, volatility, and immersive gameplay with a huge max win of 10,000x the stake! This Ancient Egyptian-themed title fuses opulence and danger in a way that’s both familiar and fresh. 

Betting and Bonus Options

The game runs on a 5x3 grid with 243 ways to win, while a wide betting range allows both players who prefer lower stakes and high rollers to try it out. Mummy’s Jewels boasts a high volatility and an RTP of 96.5%. 

Symbols on reels depict the theme perfectly, with various Egyptian deities taking the top of the paytable. The gameplay is very engaging as the slot combines Money symbols, jackpot prizes, Respins, Upgrades and Extra game modifiers triggered by Wilds. 

Money symbols represented as golden coins with a pyramid can land on all reels except the first one. These symbols appear with a random multiplier value from the predefined set: 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 30x, 35x, 40x, 75x, 100x, 150x, 200x, 375x, 700x, 1,500x. To make things even better, Money symbols can land with jackpot prizes attached to them:

• Mini - 12x the bet

• Minor-25x the stake

• Major - 300x the bet

• Mega - 1,000x the stake

• Grand - 10,000x the bet

Closely related to the Money symbol is the Collect symbol that can only hit on the first reels. When it lands alongside Money symbols on adjacent reels, the multiplier values of the connected Money symbols are awarded.

Wilds & Wild Game Modifiers

Mummy’s Jewels slot features not one, not two, but three types of Wilds - Purple, Green and Red Wild that can only land on reels 2, 3 and 4 respectively. All of them substitute for regular paying symbols and are collected upon appearance. Better yet, each of them has a different modifier that can be randomly triggered whenever the collection happens.

• Upgrade Feature triggered by Purple Wild - The feature starts with a Wheel of Fortune containing money amounts and awards. Then, random slices are upgraded with random multiplier amounts: 50x, 100x, 200x, 250x or 1,000x. The wheel spins and stops on a random slice, awarding its prize. 
• Extra Feature triggered by Green Wild - 1 to 3 pointers are randomly added for the wheel of fortune, which spins to award the prizes from slices indicated by pointers.
• Respins feature triggered by Red Wild - Before the feature starts, a wheel awards the number of respins shown by the pointer. Possible number of respins is: 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 or 50. During the round, reel 1 is full of Collect symbols and only Money Symbols and blank spaces can land on other reels. Each Money Symbol that is going to be collected on the respin gets an added multiplier with a random value of up to 10x. 
  
  

When more than one type of Wild lands together, it is possible to trigger combinations of modifiers. A combo of Purple and Green Wilds or Purple and Red Wilds can activate the Upgrade feature that is enacted first. In case Red and Green Wilds activate, 1 to 3 pointers are added to the wheel to determine the total number of respins. At last, if all three types of Wild activate, all three modifiers are triggered in the following order: Upgrade, Extra and then Respin feature. 

As always, Pragmatic Play was thinking about all types of players, so those willing to pay extra can buy the bonus features.

Roshtein’s Take

Pragmatic Play certainly didn’t cheap out on the bonus features in the Mummy’s Jewels slot. It seems like every spin can trigger the new one, even though it's not quite the case in reality. Still, a combo of Money Symbols, Collect feature, fixed jackpots and three types of Wilds with game modifiers truly is hard to miss. Add to that a max win of 10,000x and you can see why I think this game has a lot of potential.
