Mummyland Treasures Slot – Free Demo

Twenty-eight of the forty-nine tiles start as Stone

Belatra's excavating crypts, breaking stones, and pursuing bugs. The digging is literal: the top two rows and the bottom two open as Stone, and a win breaks the Stone directly above and directly below each paying symbol. They're also performing whatever else they once did back in the day when looting a pharaoh of his riches. The resulting Egyptian themed slot is named Mummyland Treasures and packs Belatra's own mixture of visuals, audio, features, and grinding play, and Ancient Egypt proved irresistible for countless explorers, tomb robbers, archaeologists, gamblers, treasure hunters, and other fortune chasers. So, it is amongst online slot studios who routinely dip into its rich cultural trove to tint their games, and with that, let's take a glance at how Belatra's game fares.

It begins buried. Twenty-one tiles carry symbols when a spin opens; the other twenty-eight are Stone. A 7x7 game grid has been blanketed over with Stones, and those must be broken before the symbols beneath open up. Nothing underneath them is in play until a win or the Blue Lighting takes them off. It's not the usual Egyptian slot arrangement, Belatra rejecting the five-reel tomb wall in favour of one more crowded. It makes you ponder what precisely is under there and how the hay you reach it? Perhaps the Mummy who dispenses multipliers in the Free Games is protecting it, or the bugs are. A dropped Bug Scatter crashes the symbols around it, horizontally, vertically or in all directions. The nice thing is players can pick which scenario suits their Egyptian daydreams the best. Whatever the case, Mummyland Treasures has a weightier mood than most tomb slots have. In the captured frame the counter beside the grid reads 2,187 ways, with the stake at 5,000 credits and 95,000 credits on the balance. That is largely because of how much of the grid remains sealed until wins break the Stones off it. Each new base spin starts from the same 21 open tiles again.

The ways counter moves with the field

Mummyland Treasures is playable on any device. It arrives with a top stake of 5,000 credits a spin. The paytable is quoted against that same 5,000-credit bet. There is also a Bet +25% option. In the captured frame its panel sits under the Free Games counters at the side of the grid. It grants Free Games twice as frequently while still paying wins on the base bet.

It employs a ways system, opening from 2,187 up to 823,543 ways to win, and wins run from neighbouring reels left to right, three to seven symbols. The counter moves with the field: 2,187 is what the 21 open tiles buy, and the top figure needs the Stones gone. Only the biggest win on a set of reels is paid. On a final note, the Coins land in denominations of 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100. Four or more of them left standing after the cascades pay their combined value times the bet. In the Free Games that coin total is multiplied by the Accumulative Multiplier as well.

One opener that does not need a win

Mummyland Treasures' features include an accumulative multiplier and a free games round. The multiplier lives only inside the round; nothing carries it in the base game. Players can trigger that from the base game when certain symbols hit, or purchase it if the option is available.

Blue Lighting shows up in the base game, and when it strikes, it randomly breaks Stones above and below the field, opening symbols that the cascades have not touched yet. It is the one thing that opens tiles without a win doing it.

The four award counts on the pillars

The Free Games feature starts when 3 or more Bug Scatters land in the base game, and this game grants 10, 11, 12 or 15 Free Games for 3, 4, 5 or 6 Scatters respectively. Those four award counts stand on the pillars either side of the grid during the base game, so the trigger table is on screen where the spins are played. Every Stone broken remains broken for the remainder of the feature, and clearing all of the Stones during the round grants 3 more Free Games, up to a maximum of 18. The round runs automatically at the bet the trigger landed on.

The Accumulative Multiplier is the main distinction between this bonus and the base game. Besides the broken Stones, it is the only thing that carries from one free game to the next. It begins at the number of Scatters that triggered the round and rises by 1 for every dropped Bug. A six-Scatter trigger therefore opens the round on 15 games and a multiplier of 6. The Mummy adds anything from 3 to 100 to it, and each Free Game's win is multiplied by it at the close of that game. Scatters landing inside the round push the multiplier up rather than adding games.

That brings us to the feature buy portion. There you can buy the Free Games from a purchase menu.

Spin 3 paid 18 times the stake

Few Egyptian slots come across as meanly as Mummyland Treasures does. Across 59 spins the session wagered 295,000 credits and won 196,000 back.

Mummyland Treasures went all over the place during testing. It ran at 5,000 credits a spin from a starting balance of 100,000. The largest shock came on spin 3. That was 90,000 credits, and it took the balance to 182,000. A base game drop paid 18 times the stake with no Free Games trigger. Spin 6 paid 3 times the stake, and outside the bonus nothing else in the session cleared 2 times it.

One trigger in 59 spins

The other thing was how seldom the Free Games arrived. Twelve free games means the trigger landed 5 Scatters, so the multiplier opened the round on 5. Across 59 spins I triggered the round once, on spin 12, drew 12 Free Games and took no retrigger out of it. The field never cleared, so the three extra games never came. I walked away with 12 times the stake - 31% of everything the session won, from a lone round, and only 10 of those 59 spins paid anything at all, three of them for less than the stake. The round paid 60,000 credits and moved the balance from 157,000 to 212,000. The longest dry run went 13 spins, and the session topped out at 212,000 credits on spin 12. That dry run ended on spin 35. It finished with the balance down to 1,000 credits, a return of 66.4%. The balance ran out after spin 59.

Mummyland Treasures' purchase menu could well be enticing for players who favour to buy features. Wrap it all up in a grid that must be dug out before it pays. When the maximum win is reached the game ends the round automatically.

Our Minty Verdict: Ten of the 59 spins paid anything, one of them opened the Free Games, and that single round accounted for 31% of the session's winnings. For the other 49 spins the field sat mostly sealed and the counter beside the grid held its opening 2,187 ways.

Other grids that open as they go

If you're into history-related themes, don't miss Pyramid: Quest for Immortality. It is another Egyptian grid where the field keeps opening itself, and Pyramid Valley: Power Zones runs the same idea over unlocking zones.
