Betting Options and Bonus Features
Players with different budgets are accommodated with the slot’s wide betting range, making it suitable for both high-rollers and low-risk takers. The game features a 6x3 grid layout with 729 paylines, inviting players into a shadowy underworld where undead pharaohs guard golden rewards. With high volatility and an RTP of 96.50%, the game offers a nice maximum win of 4,000x the bet.
The red jewel symbol is at the top of the paytable, closely followed by the yellow and green jewels. Blue and pink gems are medium-paying symbols, while the beautifully embellished royals are producing the lowest wins.
When it comes to special symbols, this game features several:
- Mystery Symbol - Represented as a flaming question mark, whenever it hits, it transforms itself and all of its instances into the same random paying symbol or Money symbol.
- Money Symbol - The flaming golden egg can appear on all reels except the sixth one. It lands with a random value determined from the predefined set: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x,25x, 50x,75x, 100x, 250x, 500x total bet or Bonus.
- Collect Symbol - Appearing only on the 6th reel, the golden fenix expands to fill the whole reel (after win lines are paid), collects and pays the value of all Money symbols in view.
To make things better, whenever 5 or more Money symbols are on the screen, one respin is awarded. For that respin, Money symbols remain on the screen and only Money and Collect symbols can land. In case that Collect Symbols falls on reels, values of all Money symbols on the screen is collected and paid.
Still, the key feature in Resurrecting Riches is the Free Spins round, triggered when a Money symbol land with Bonus value. Before the round starts, the Bonus symbol reveals the random number of awarded free spins: 8, 10 or 12.
During the feature, all Money symbols that appear on the reels leave a shadow of themselves behind the symbols on the grid. Every time a Collect symbol hits, the Money symbols from behind return to the front and their values are collected.
If a new Money symbol lands in a spot already marked by the shadow, its value is added to the value of the shadow for the current spin. The new value becomes the value of the shadow for the remainder of the round. At least one Collect symbol is guaranteed to land during the bonus round.
Additionally, the game includes a Bonus Buy option, allowing players to purchase instant entry into the Free Spins round for 80x the bet. Perfect for those looking to skip the base game grind and dive right into action.
Roshtein's Take
I like the overall vibe, but it doesn’t do much to stand out from other treasure-themed games. Gameplay-wise, it’s pretty straightforward with a decent bonus round and winning potential. Overall, it is an ok game that can still pay nicely, but it’s not pushing the ceiling compared to some other Pragmatic titles.
