Curse of Echnaton Pokie Review

Every unexplored tomb comes with great danger but also with great excitement. Instead of avoiding curses carried by 5 skulls and the mummy himself, you are encouraged to summon the skulls so that you will trigger features.

You will notice hotspots of different colours on the reels. Each time a win includes a cell with a certain colour, you will trigger the corresponding curse. To summon the pharaoh, you will need to land a certain amount of successive winning clusters.

Refilling feature

If you know what the Cascading Reels feature is, then you will understand how the Refilling feature functions. Each winning cluster disappears and new icons land on blank cells, giving you a chance for multiple wins in a single spin.

Curse Chain

At the beginning of every spin, up to 5 cells can be marked with different colours. If you include some of the marked cells in your winning cluster, the corresponding curse will be activated. If you get more curses in the same win, they occur in a fixed order one after the other.

Blue colour adds the Curse Blast feature. After a non-winning refill, you get a free respin. The Gems Destroyer curse is awarded with the pink colour. Instances of one random symbol are turned into Wilds. The green mark will trigger the Wild Crypt curse. It will add 5-15 Random Wilds.

The Gems Destroyer and the Wild Crypt are the only 2 features where Wilds can appear. Wilds do not appear in the base game. The Double Doom curse comes from the cell marked with gold. You get several 2×2 symbols on the reels. Finally, the God Symbol curse, triggered by the white mark, adds 1 or more 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5 symbols on the reels.

Pharaoh Returns

When you land 100+ winning symbols in a single spin (multiple refills), you will trigger the Pharaoh Returns feature. So, you basically fill the Bonus Meter. Once it is full, you get a multi-level Bonus game. When you complete each level, your multiplier increases.

With 100 winning symbols, you get a 2x multiplier. When you have 105 winning symbols, you get a 4x multiplier. 115 winning symbols secure an 8x multiplier. Finally, 125 winning symbols get you a 12x multiplier. During the feature, you get all 5 curses. Each time you reach another level, curses reset.

For example, I have reached Level 4, so I got all the multipliers and my total win was 408x.

Buy Bonus

It will cost you 105x the bet to buy the Pharaoh Returns feature. However, in most cases, you will win less than you invested. At least, that’s what happened to me when I tested the Curse of Echnaton pokie.
