Gods of Giza (Pragmatic Play) Review

We sometimes wonder what the ancient Pharaohs would’ve thought about their great culture being used in so many online slots thousands of years later. They built the Great Pyramid of Giza around 4,600 years ago, and Pragmatic Play built Gods of Giza the same amount of years later. It’s hardly the first time we visit the desert location, and the presentation is pleasant enough with colorful gems livening up the 5x5 grid.

We prefer outdoor locations like this to yet another dusty tomb, and the base game comes with tumble wins and multiplier wilds. The wilds remain in play for a couple of tumbles before being removed, and the big difference in the bonus round is that wilds remain in play for 5 tumbles. Both features are tried and tested, and they combine well together as always. The 5,000x potential is starting to get a bit old by now from this developer, and Pragmatic should try some odd numbers once in a while to mix things up.

Gods of Giza Slot Features

You win by landing 3 to 5 of a kind starting from any reel from left to right, or from any reel from top to bottom. Winning combinations of 5 matching symbols pay between 2 and 20 x your stake, and Wild symbols can appear anywhere to step in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins.

Wilds come with ‘W’ in the middle, and they pay the same as the top-tier Ra symbols should you land 3 to 5 wilds on a payline.

Winning symbols are removed via the Tumble mechanic, and winning combos without a wild symbol will spawn a wild in one of the empty positions before new and/or existing symbols drop down to fill the gaps. The tumble feature goes on indefinitely as long as you keep landing new winning combinations.

Wilds do more than just substitute for pay symbols in this game, and they can land with multipliers of x2, x3, x5, x7, or x10 as well. The multipliers are multiplied together if more than one wild is part of the same win, and the total multiplier will then boost the relevant line wins. In addition, wilds remain in place for 2 tumbles each time before being removed. This is called the Depleting Wilds feature.

You need 3 scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and this gives you 10 free spins.

You get +5 free spins on top of that per additional triggering scatter, and you are guaranteed a wild symbol on the very first spin. If you don’t win on the first spin, you get at least one more wild, and all wilds remain in play for 5 tumbles before being removed. You win +5 extra spins from landing 3 scatters anywhere in view.

On a final note, non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, may take advantage of the Bonus Buy feature. You can thus pay 100x your stake for the bonus round, and this gives you at least 3 scatters on the spin that follows.

The 200 Spins Gods of Giza Slot Experience

We ran into a patch of dead spins at first, before a lengthy tumble session landed us a decent base game win. We purchase the bonus round right after that, at 0:52 into the 2:38 minute highlights video, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Gods of Giza sticks out a bit because of the 5x5 grid that fills the screen from top to bottom, but otherwise the ancient Egypt presentation blends in with many similar games in the genre. Pragmatic Play has contributed a fair share of them, and they know the drill better than most. The pace of the game is excellent, and not least if you simply hold down the spacebar, and the base game is broken up by longer tumble win sequences on a somewhat regular basis.

We like that the wild symbols remain in play for a few tumbles before disappearing, and multiplying multiplier wilds is never wrong either. This can lead to solid payouts also in the base game, and the bonus round comes with a 1 in 390 spins hit rate.

It can take a while to trigger in other words, but wilds linger for 5 tumbles and extra spins can be won. There is nothing too spectacular to see in Gods of Giza, perhaps, but the 5,000x potential comes with a solid 1 in 2,045,408 spins hit rate.

Pros

• Multiplying multiplier wilds up to x10
• Wilds remain in play for 2 tumbles
• FS w/ wilds that remain for 5 tumbles
• Win up to 5,000x (1 in 2m spins hit rate)

Cons

• Beware of customizable RTP ranges
