Rise of Anubis Slot – Free Demo
Provider:
Inspired Gaming
Seven Free Spins rounds carried 60% of what came back over 440 spins at a 2-credit stake, and the balance still closed 102.60 credits down. During the feature, every Anubis on the middle reel adds a spin and gilds a random symbol into a wild that stays put until the round ends.

Seven Anubis triggers across 440 spins
So what is this slot then? It is an Inspired Gaming release. Is anything fresh on offer apart from a fresh theme? Hand of Anubis and Ankh of Anubis Awakening are two other slots built around Anubis. The initial impression produced mixed emotions for certain. I played 440 spins at a stake of 2.00 credits, starting from a balance of 1,000.00 credits.
Rise of Anubis is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 20 fixed paylines, and it is available between 0.20 and 250 per spin. Wins pay for 3 or more matching symbols on a payline, left to right from the leftmost reel.
Eye of Horus at 500 times the line bet
On the reels, you will spot low-value J to A royals as well as birds, pyramids, goddesses, pharaohs, the Eye of Horus and a wild symbol. The Wild substitutes for all symbols except the Anubis bonus symbol. The highest paying symbol is the Eye of Horus. 5 of them along a payline gives 500 times the line bet. With 20 fixed paylines, that works out to 25 times the total stake.
An Anubis bonus symbol is included, since the game is played with a free spin feature. In the base game only, a Super Wild can land on reels 2, 3 and 4, where it expands to cover the whole reel and substitutes for all symbols except the Anubis bonus symbol.
Gilded symbols from the middle reel
Core to the game is the Free Spins feature, which comes into effect with 10 free spins if 3 or more Anubis symbols appear anywhere on the reels. The trigger also pays 2x, 20x or 50x the total bet for 3, 4 or 5 Anubis symbols. During free spins, each Anubis on the middle reel awards 1 extra free spin and makes a random symbol golden. That extra spin came up twice in my session, on spins 35 and 219, taking each round to 11 free spins, though the spin 219 round paid only its 4.00 credit trigger award. Golden symbols serve as wilds until the feature finishes. The feature landed 7 times in 440 spins, and those rounds paid 470.00 credits in total, 60% of everything won.
Minty Slots Verdict: Everything runs as smooth as polished sandstone, and the game seems to be nicely balanced, at least during my testing session. My balance peaked at 1,129.80 credits on spin 288 and finished at 897.40 credits, a session return of 88.3%.
A 212-credit round on spin 149
As an enthusiast of high volatility and jackpot promise, this is likely not a slot I will pick to play. The biggest single win was 212.00 credits on spin 149, a Free Spins round worth 106.0x the stake. But as I have discovered, there are all sorts of varied players out there.
