Do we recommend playing Mustang Gold?

Gameplay wise, this is quite like Mexican-themed Big Juan, but the latter has the bonus jackpot game in the Free Spins round. 

The 96.53% RTP rate is plausible, given that there are 25 winning combinations. Overall, Mustang Gold is a fun way to splash the cash without the pinch. 

Mysterious Egypt is another Egyptian-themed offering from Pragmatic Play. It was released in January 2021 on both mobile and desktop. 

Theme and Setting 

 The prestige of ancient Egypt is on full display while players are looking to hit the jackpot on every spin. Themed icons are mixed with royal symbols, the former having a bigger winning value. 

 Graphics and Sound 

 The game’s audiovisuals are easy on the eyes; the graphics typical of an ancient Egypt-themed video slot. It has different sets of background music depending on what is happening in the game. 

 Gameplay and Bonuses 

 The game is a bit tricky at first, especially for those who are new to it. There is the mystery symbol that expands vertically when there are at least two of it in different reels. Aside from being rewarded money by getting at least three matching symbols in a row starting from the leftmost side, the mystery symbols add more to wins. 

 The Free Spins Feature is triggered when three or more pharaoh symbols are hit in a single attempt. That tile also acts as both SCATTER and WILD at the same time. 

 Closing 

 Mysterious Egypt has an easy-to-use toggle menu to customize certain aspects of the game. The game history shows previous runs. 

 Despite having only ten paylines, it has an RTP of 96.5% due to the mystery symbol mechanic. When it was tested for game review purposes (with a maximum bet and 100-spin Autoplay), five out of six runs generated a profit. 

Pragmatic Play’s Day of Dead

Day of Dead is an online slot machine game produced by Pragmatic Play. Launched in October 2021, this game is available in both mobile and desktop platforms.

Theme and Setting 

It is the first midnight of November, and you find yourself all alone in a haunted graveyard somewhere in Mexico. It is cold, it is dark, and it is creepy. 

Suddenly, the tombstones are illuminated by candles, displaying a more vibrant atmosphere, the dead coming back to life. Reward your fortitude by matching symbols in this exciting slot machine game. 

Graphics and Sound 

The festive Día de los Muertos serves as the inspiration behind this slot machine game. The graphics and audio take a page out of animated movies like Coco and The Book of Life. 

The game opens with trope horror sound effects. The background music starts playing once a spin is made. There are also separate audio cues for payouts. 

The Free Respin round features a different kind of ambient music, as the mood changes with a fast-paced background tune that will excite the player. 

The symbols range from card suits to traditional images of the holiday that inspired this game. 

Gameplay and Bonuses 

Day of Dead is played on a 5×4 board that is used in both the base and free respin games, making it less complicated compared to other slots. 

Match at least three similar symbols consecutively and horizontally from the leftmost reel to form one of 20 winning paylines. Payouts would depend on the number of matching symbols that connect. 

There are two WILD symbols in play. The WILD symbol with the green background fills gaps to match symbols for a winning payout. The tombstone WILD activates the Walking Wild reel, where the expanding WILD moves leftward of the screen every spin until it disappears. 

Getting a SCATTER on the first, third, or fifth reel triggers the Free Respin Feature that provides two expanding Walking Wild reels. This can also be played by buying it for 100x the current bet. The bonus feature ends once there are no more WALKING EXPANDED WILD symbols and collectable WILD icons (symbolized by a plain tombstone).  

The maximum amount players can win on Day of Dead is limited to 4,500x of the bet. When that limit is reached, the round automatically ends. 

Closing 

The System Settings menu gives players the option to play according to their tastes, such as playing with faster spins and saving battery life. The Information Screen of Day of Dead has all the details about the game, from the payout prizes of symbols to the winning payline patterns, as well as rules. 

With a normal RTP of 96.49% (the Buy Free Respins feature has 0.01% higher RTP), Day of Dead is a game made for beginners to enjoy (and win big) with its WILD symbols and high amount of paylines. 

This was tested thrice using Autoplay with 100 spins and a maximum bet. This is what came out: an average of 23%-win percentage, two of the runs generated the Respin feature, two-thirds of the runs went over the initial credit, with one of them peaking at more than four percent of the credit. 

All in all, the RTP, bonus symbols, and paylines make it possible for easy (and possibly, big) wins. For those who want to have a sure way to win, this game is for you.

Fortune of Giza has a 5×3 board in both the base game and the Free Spins Round, which makes it highly recommended for novice players.  

Winning in the base game involves matching at least three symbols from the leftmost reel with 20 possible paylines available. The game’s biggest prizegiving icons are those related to ancient Egypt (such as the ankh, Ra, and Anubis). Matching five pharaohs in a valid payline can win up to 37.5x of the bet. 

The WILD in both the base and free spin features is symbolized by a ruby gem adorned with a scarab. Aside from serving as a substitute symbol, it also acts as a multiplier. 

Hitting three pyramids in front of a full moon (the BONUS symbol) triggers the Free Spins Round. In this feature, the graphics change into a 3×3 reel that gives the player a certain number of free spins. 

After all the free spins have been accounted for, the Free Spins feature starts. WILD scarabs that appear in the middle reels would remain until all free spins are consumed. 

Closing 

The game has an easy toggle option for preferences. The game history shows previous runs. 

Its Information page provides everything the player needs to know about Fortune of Giza. However, the English version has not been released yet, which means some players would have to wait before that language becomes available. 

The game has a high RTP rate of 96.48%. 

In three test runs (using Autoplay of 100 spins and the maximum bet amount), one trial peaked at 120,000 worth of betting credit. This was due to a series of Free Spins Rounds that, at one point, produced more than 12,000 credits in a single turn. Other runs ended up just short of the starting credit. 

Overall, this game is unpredictable but enjoyable to play.
