Curse of the Mummies Review

After 2 previous efforts featuring somewhat original theme ideas, Blue Guru Games returns to more familiar territory in this third installment. Curse of the Mummies is a well-made ancient Egypt release though, with engaging visuals and a somewhat spooky atmosphere. The number of paylines has risen to 243 in this release, and the 12,532x potential is also significantly upgraded compared to the previous installments.

This means that you can land solid payouts also in the base game, at least in theory, and with help from the Rise From The Crypt wild or scatter transformation feature. What you really want however, is the bonus round, where a solid multiplier can be built from the triggering scatters (and especially from super scatters). The change of scenery is also appreciated, and this one is well worth checking out for Egypt fans.

Curse of the Mummies Slot Features

The 4 premium mummy symbols pay between 3.2 and 8 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the decorated golden scarab Wild steps in for regular pay symbols to help complete wins. The wild does not hold any value of its own, but it can land on all 5 reels to help you out.

The Rise from the Crypt feature can trigger at random times, and this transforms a randomly chosen pay symbol into wilds or scatters. This may help you land a win via the extra wilds, or it may help you trigger the Rise From the Crypt Bonus Round.

Bonus Round triggers when you land a scatter symbol on all 5 reels at the same time, and this awards 15 free spins.

Finally, non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, may take advantage of the Bonus Buy feature. Simply hit the ‘Buy Bonus’ button on the left, and you get to choose between 4 different options as follows:

• The Standard feature costs 80x your stake, and awards 5 scatters (RTP: 96.14 %).
• Pay 140x your stake to get at least 1 guaranteed super scatter (RTP: 96.07 %).
• Pay 200x your stake to get at least 2 guaranteed super scatters (RTP: 96.02 %).
• Pay 260x your stake to get at least 3 guaranteed super scatters (RTP: 96.10 %).

The 200 Spins Curse of the Mummies Slot Experience

Nothing overly exciting happened for us in the base game, so you can safely skip to around 1:22 where we purchase the top-tier bonus round. We got an x34 starting multiplier from the 5 triggering scatters, and we even managed to retrigger the feature which upped the multiplier to x51.

Review Summary

The ancient Egypt theme may be a conventional choice, but Blue Guru Games has poured some originality into it by the change of scenery you get in the bonus round.

It’s always exciting to see what kind of multiplier you get when the bonus round triggers, but you can also expect plenty of dead free spins once a solid multiplier has been achieved. Retriggering the feature is the only way to increase the multiplier, and overall Curse of the Mummies isn’t super original in any way. It’s still a decent installments though, but ancient Egypt is a tough genre to compete in.

Pros

• Random wild or scatter transformation
• FS w/ up to x50 starting multiplier
• Retrigger adds up to +25 to the multiplier
• Win up to 12,532x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
