Scepter of Anubis

Quickspin's Scepter of Anubis sets its reels against an Egyptian backdrop, running on a 5x4 grid with 40 fixed paylines. Winning combinations read left to right, and the top return configuration comes in at 96.06%, with alternate settings of 94%, 92%, and 90% available depending on the operator. This is a high-volatility release, with a maximum win of 10,000 times the stake and a bet range running from 0.10 to 100 per spin.

Low-value symbols take the form of four winged scarabs in different colours, worth 1x the bet for a five-symbol line. A tier above sits a bird statue, a sphinx, and the gods Horus and Sobek, paying 2x to 3x for five in a row. A golden pharaoh sits above them all as the single top-paying symbol, returning 10x the bet on a five-of-a-kind line.

The game's central mechanic is the Anubis Wild, a stacked symbol covering a full reel that substitutes for everything except the scatter. A line of five pays 20x the stake, and any Anubis Wild that lands carries a chance to nudge until it fills the entire reel. Doing so triggers a respin: the first full wild grants one extra spin, and each additional wild that lands or nudges into place during the respin adds another, continuing until no new wilds appear.

Three, four, or five scatters (or Anubis Wilds) landing anywhere trigger 8, 12, or 16 free spins. Inside the round, any Anubis Wild that appears expands to cover its reel and stays locked in place for the rest of the feature, while also setting off the respin mechanic and adding a further free spin. A separate Super Free Spins mode replaces the regular round when a designated super scatter lands on the rightmost reel alongside at least two, three, or four scatters or wilds on the triggering spin, handing out 8, 12, or 16 spins of its own. Here, a full-reel Anubis Wild also carries a multiplier of x2, x3, x5, or x100, and a fresh wild landing on the respin brings a multiplier equal to or higher than the one already in play.

Where a trigger falls short of the full five symbols, a gamble option lets players risk the round for a chance at the maximum spin count, though a loss forfeits the bonus entirely, and free spins can't be gambled into super free spins or vice versa. Both rounds can also be bought outright from the base game: the regular free spins cost 80x the bet at a 96.74% return, while the super version costs 160x the bet and runs at 96.65%.
