Slots fans who like bonus features on their games will absolutely love this new online slot from Playtech; it’s called The Mummy and it is of course based on the first in the series of films set in early 20th century Egypt and starring Dwayne Johnson and Rachel Weisz.

This is a great game with a dramatic cinema-style soundtrack; there are five reels and twenty five paylines and the whole design of the slot is impressive; there are are a whole range of theme-inspired symbols including a blue beetle, yellow containers, pistols, a locked book, a treasure chest with a golden scorpion on top.  All the main characters from the film are also represented in the symbols and the half-decomposed Mummy is the wild.  The game’s logo is the scatter symbol.

Bonus Features

This is where all the fun starts and but not all the features are available when you start playing;  you will need to be randomly awarded entry into the Lost City Adventure and then you’ll be taken to a screen where you pick from a number of boxes to win cash prizes.

It’s here that you’ll also be awarded an extra feature which will be listed to the left of the reels in the standard game.  That feature will then be available to select when playing the standard game. You can only select one and the bonuses available are as follows:

• Scorpion Scatter – acts as an extra scatter symbol.
• Expanding Mummy – the Mummy wild becomes an expanding wild meaning it can cover more than one symbol vertically.
• Scarab Attack – landing this on reel three adds extra wilds on reel two and reel four.
• Collapsing Reels – any symbols forming a winning payline will explode, allowing more symbols to drop into place – more combos can be created in this fashion.
• Mummy Power – if a winning combo contains one, two or three Mummy wilds it will multiply the value of the win by 3x, 6x or 9x respectively.
• Mummy Respin – landing the Mummy wild on any reel will freeze that wild for unlimited respins until you next win.

The following bonuses are added to the reels permanently:

• Mummy Hunt Bonus Symbol – land this symbol on reels one and five to play the Mummy Hunt.  You will move down a corridor picking the path ahead – the further you get before hitting the dead end the more money you win.
• Free Games Symbol – landing this symbol on reels will win you five free spins and one super spin; any wilds landing in the first five spins will be collected at the side and placed on reels two, three and four for the super spin.

Verdict

This is fantastic slot for those who like loads of bonus features and longevity in their game play.  Once you start randomly landing the extra features you’ll be hooked.
