Curse of Echnaton Slot Review

About the Game

Set in the heart of ancient Amarna, the Curse of Echnaton slot takes you to the tomb of a long-forgotten pharaoh whose power persists even after death.

This 8×8 slot features clustered wins and coloured dots that trigger one of five mystical features. Collecting symbols fuels the dormant power of Ehnaton himself, culminating in the multi-level Pharaoh Returns bonus where dark rituals unleash increasing multipliers and powerful reel modifiers filled with Wild symbols, huge symbols and re-spins.

Max Win

Those who dare to disturb the tomb can chase rewards of 10,000 times their stake.

Wild Symbol

Present only in certain Curse Chain features such as Gems Destroyer and Wild Crypt. Represented by a golden stone with the letter W, substitutes for all other symbols.

Refilling

The slot features a cluster-based mechanic, where groups of winning symbols disappear and new ones fall from above, filling in the gaps. The replenishment continues, increasing the chances of additional winning clusters until no more winning combinations appear. There is no limit to the number of possible refills. All winnings are added to the player’s balance after all top-ups activated by the base spin are completed.

Curse Chain

At the start of each spin, up to 5 coloured marks can appear on the grid. If a cluster win includes a marked spot, one of the 5 features or reel modifiers will be activated when the current spin top-up is completed.

When more than one feature is activated, they play one after the other in a fixed order. IF more than one feature is activated at the same time, they are placed in a queue and follow the same fixed order. If more functions are activated while one is already playing, they are added to the end of the queue.

Order and colours of functions:

1. Curse Blast. Awarded with a blue marker. When all replenishments are completed, a re-spin is awarded.
2. Gems Destroyer. Awarded with a pink mark. All instances of one random symbol on the grid are converted to Wild symbols.
3. Double Doom. Awarded with a gold mark. Multiple 2×2 blocks of a random symbol are added to random positions on the grid.
4. God Symbol. Awarded with a white mark. 1 or more 3×3, 4×4 or 5×5 blocks of matching symbols are added to the grid.
5. Wild Crypt. Awarded with a green mark. Replaces 5 to 15 random symbols with Wild symbols.

Pharaoh Returns

This multi-level bonus game is triggered when 100 or more winning symbols are collected in a single spin, including all top-ups.

All modifiers from the Curse Chain feature are then assigned and activated one by one in the following fixed order: Curse Blast, Gems Destroyer, Double Doom, God Symbol and Wild Crypt.

In addition, five levels of multipliers, ranging from 2x to 16x, can be triggered when certain thresholds are reached during the bonus game:

• 100 winning symbols trigger a 2x win multiplier,
• 105 winning symbols trigger a 4x win multiplier,
• 115 winning symbols trigger an 8x win multiplier,
• 125 winning symbols trigger a 12x win multiplier,
• 135 winning symbols trigger a 16x win multiplier.

The progress bar displayed on the closed sarcophagus next to the reels keeps track of the current number of symbols. No additional features can be triggered during this feature as there are no coloured markers. The bonus game ends if no consecutive wins are received and the next threshold is not reached. The game also automatically ends when all final wins of the fifth level have been collected.

Bonus Buy

Players can buy immediate access to the Pharaoh Returns feature for a fixed price based on their current bet. Once purchased, the bonus game starts on the next spin. The Buy Bonus button will be deactivated during the bonus game.
