Story of Egypt: 10 Lines from Spinomenal
It seems that video slot developers will never grow tired of making slots about Ancient Egypt, one of the greatest civilizations in human history. Story of Egypt: 10 Lines, the name that speaks for itself, has all the attributes of the high-end Egypt-themed slot: mythological characters combined with great animations, with interesting game mechanics on top.
The slot under review has the synched reels feature (on 6 reels) and 10 paylines to provide the winning combinations. The betting range isn't overly broad - 0.1 mBTC to 20 mBTC - so a comfortable spinning experience is guaranteed. As already mentioned, reels 3 to 5 are synched, which means that any medium symbol that lands on these reels will transform into a colossus symbol. The substituting Wild is the first special symbol - it doesn't affect the Bonus symbol. If you get 6 Wilds on a winning line, your winnings would be multiplied by 1,000 times the total stake. Bonus symbols on reels 1 and 6 launch Free Spins, during which the player will get to play the Wheel of Features.
Mine Mine Quest from Tom Horn Gaming
To the disappointment of some, this video slot isn't about cryptocurrency mining. Mine Mine Quest is built around gold mining in deep underground mines. Tom Horn Gaming released the slot that incorporates cluster pay mechanics, which is quite popular among developers nowadays. Five or more identical symbols form a cluster that explodes and reveals the payout.
The mining takes place on 9 reels that are surrounded by creaky constructions and mining tools. The betting range here is 0.5 mBTC - 100 mBTC, which we reckon to be suitable for most slot players. Lining up 13 low symbols during the shatter, the moment when winning symbols explode and new ones appear will set off the Wild String feature, during which the string of Wild symbols emerges on the reels, awarding nice cash prizes. Getting 13 high symbols will result in the appearance of a Giant Symbol that creates new winning combinations.
Candy Boom from Booongo
The last slot in our selection also belongs to the cohort of cluster paying symbols. Keep away from this slot if you have dental issues or diabetes because it will make you crave candy or muffins like crazy. Candy Boom has 6 reels that get showered with sweets whenever you press the "Spin" button. When candies create a winning formation, it immediately explodes, at which point the cascading mechanism kicks in, and the empty space gets filled with new symbols.
The muffin is the Scatter symbol that provides separate cash prizes; it also doesn't collapse during the cascade mode. The same 4 symbols trigger 10 Free Spins. The multi-colored candy is a multiplier symbol that appears during free spins and boosts the winnings up to 7,000 times the total stake.
Our conclusion
This time, we are torn between Mine Mine Quest and Candy Boom because both these slots offer amusing play mechanics and good payouts, so they deserve to share the title of the best slot of the week. Story of Egypt: 10 Lines is the top slot too, though it's just all but too familiar.
