Play Fury of Anubis

Ancient Egypt gets the full judgment chamber treatment in Fury of Anubis, and we don't spend long wondering who's in charge. With Pragmatic Play, we get a 6x5 scatter pays grid where matching symbols can land anywhere, then tumble away after potential wins. The real hook is the multiplier, which doubles after every successful tumble and can climb rapidly during one sequence. Free spins keep the same idea but begin with a much stronger multiplier, depending on how many Scatters trigger the round. 

Anubis doesn't get tucked away in a corner here. We get the jackal headed god looming beside the reels while green flames, carved stone and heavy gold decoration make the screen feel more like a judgment chamber than a cheerful sightseeing stop. Scarabs, skulls, ankhs and scrolls handle the stronger symbols, with coloured gems filling out the rest. We also get plenty of movement in the background, especially from the glowing temple details, without losing sight of the grid. 

Among online slots, Egyptian themes aren't hard to find, so the presentation needs something beyond another pyramid. We think Anubis himself does most of that work. Even the free spins gamble uses the weighing of the heart against the feather of Ma'at, which is a surprisingly specific mythological detail for a screen concerned with multipliers. 

We get five gemstone symbols at the lower end of the paytable, followed by the scroll, ankh, skull and scarab. Since Fury of Anubis uses scatter pays rather than paylines, potential payouts depend on how many matching symbols appear anywhere on the grid. 

• We can land the Anubis Scatter on every reel. Three or more Scatters activate free spins, with additional Scatters improving the starting multiplier. 
• We don't get a Wild symbol in Fury of Anubis. Potential combinations are built entirely from matching paying symbols appearing anywhere on the 6x5 grid. 

Tumble Feature 

Whenever we form a potential winning combination with eight or more matching symbols, those symbols disappear after the result is calculated. The remaining symbols drop into the empty spaces and new symbols arrive from above. If another qualifying combination appears, we get another tumble. The sequence only stops once the new grid contains no further potential win. 

Tumble Multipliers 

We begin each base spin with a x1 multiplier. After the first successful tumble, we move to x2, then x4, x8, x16 and onward by doubling after every further tumble. The multiplier can reach x1024 and stays there for any additional tumbles from that spin. Once the full sequence ends, we return to x1 for the next base spin. 

Free Spins 

Three, four, five or six Scatters award 10 free spins, but the starting multiplier changes significantly. We begin at x8 with three Scatters, x16 with four, x32 with five and x64 with six. 

The same doubling system remains active during the round, so each successful tumble increases the current multiplier until x1024 is reached. At the end of a free spin, we return to the starting multiplier rather than dropping all the way back to x1. Three or more Scatters during the feature add another 10 free spins. 

Multiplier Gamble 

Before free spins begin, we can choose to gamble the starting multiplier. A successful gamble doubles the value, with further attempts potentially taking the starting multiplier as high as x256. An unsuccessful result removes the awarded free spins, so this part of the feature comes with a very clear tradeoff rather than a free upgrade.

We work with six reels and five rows, but conventional paylines aren't involved. Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the screen create a potential result, and larger groups improve the corresponding payout. 

From there, tumbles take over. Winning symbols disappear, everything above drops down and another set of symbols fills the spaces. We can therefore see several potential combinations develop from one original spin without needing the symbols to connect along a fixed route. 

That puts Fury of Anubis closer to the scatter pays titles found across online casinos than to a traditional reel game. The grid itself stays at 6x5 throughout. What changes from tumble to tumble is the multiplier, and that escalating value is really the mechanical centre of the game.

For three close comparisons, we'd look at Egyptian themes first, then at tumble systems and multipliers. 

• Mo Mo Mo Mummy Midnight Treasures: We stay in ancient Egypt here, although Aristocrat builds the main feature around Cash Collect rather than scatter pays and tumbles. 
• Ancient Fortunes: Poseidon Megaways: We move into Greek mythology, but the reaction mechanic and strong deity led presentation give us a useful comparison. 
• Gates of Olympus: We get another Pragmatic Play mythology slot where potential wins can appear across the grid and multipliers carry much of the feature's weight. 

Fury of Anubis gets more mileage from one mechanic than some slots manage with half a dozen. The doubling multiplier is simple to understand, but every extra tumble suddenly matters a great deal more once x8 becomes x16 and the numbers keep moving. That gives the grid a nice sense of escalation without filling the screen with special symbols. 

The free spins round makes the system considerably more interesting because we don't restart from x1 after every spin. Starting at x8 or above changes the maths of each tumble sequence straight away, and triggering with more Scatters actually feels meaningful. 

Our one gripe is familiarity. Scatter pays and tumbling multipliers aren't exactly archaeological discoveries. Still, Anubis carries the theme well, and the weighing of the heart detail earns more credit than another generic pile of pyramids.
