We love Egyptian mythology. Growing up on movies with pharaohs and mummies, we always found this ancient culture fascinating. Later on, it was the mystery of the whole thing that thrilled our mind. Ancient Egypt was no more, but their mysterious texts still remained. The massive pyramids that tower over everyone, the proud sphinx gazing down on mere mortals walking in its shadow.
As time went on, and our child-like wonder disappeared, ancient Egypt became less of a focus. But we still love the theme, and seeing a pokie set in such circumstances will always find our approval. It is not just us who love the idea of ancient Egypt however. Many games were made with pharaohs, gods and pyramids at its core. And now, Novomatic and Greentube are giving us their own take on the genre.
On the reels, you will find many traditional Egyptian symbols. Special features include free spins, expanding Wilds, upgrading icons, two regular jackpots and two progressive ones.
Developer
The story of Greentube begins in 1998, under the name Dürrschmid&Reisinger OEG. It carried the last names of its founder until the year 2000, when it was renamed to Greentube Internet Entertainment Solutions. The years passed, and the name remained.
Even after 2010, when Greentube was acquired by the Novomatic Group, their independent identity remained. Under new management, the studio continued to grow, and acquired several subsidiaries and new locations of its own. Up and coming names like Funstage, Bluebat Games and Abzorba are all currently under the Greentube umbrella.
How to Play it
The title is played on a 5×4 board with 40 fixed paylines that pay left to right only. That means players cannot turn certain paylines on and off to lower their minimum bet past developer set limits. Gamblers can set their wagers by pressing the Total Bet button. This opens another screen that lets you select your choice. You can set your wager between $0.50 up to $5.00 per spin.
The user interface is standard for desktop users. Everything is clearly labelled, making it quite easy to navigate. This is especially true for new players, who may not be familiar where what is.
Pressing the Autoplay button makes the pokie do the reel spinning for you. Set the number of rounds, as well as your loss and single win limit, then lean back and relax. We do wish that Greentube’s release allowed us to set a direct number, instead of using a slider.
We cannot say we are dazzled by the offered graphics. The background image is the goddess Isis who will also make an appearance on the playing field. Add a bit of colour, and mirror it down the middle. It looks stylish, but such a bland and static background image cannot compete with other games on the market.
Each symbol has an attached animation, but said animations are nothing special. They mostly zoom back and forth to highlight the winning combination. That said, the transition screens do look gorgeous. If only the rest of the title looked nearly as good!

Special Features
Three or more golden Scatters will activate 12 free spins. One, two or three Isis Wilds that appear during this special feature grant one, three or five extra turns. During free spins, any icon that is part of a winning combination with a Wild will upgrade. So the blue scarab will change into the green phoenix, becoming the next most valuable symbol.
Wilds can only appear on the second, third and fourth reel. Anytime they do appear, they expand to cover the entire reel. Wilds can substitute for any icon except for Scatters.
If an expanding Wild appears during free spins, there is a chance the jackpot feature is activated. Here, players pick between twelve available coins. Clicking on one will reveal its colour, and each of the four jackpots has a colour associated with it. Find three matching coins to win the appropriate jackpot.
Maximum Payouts
This medium volatility slot has two progressive jackpots as its ultimate prize. You can only get them by trigger the jackpot bonus and winning with purple or red coins. We were unable to find any RTP information for this Greentube release.
Summary
The theme was enjoyable, but the graphics lagged behind modern standards. The gameplay was enjoyable, and did not feel like the progressive jackpot was holding it hostage. It remained fun and fast-paced – enjoyable even without the promise of a huge win looming over us. The progressive jackpot is what pushes this pokie into being above average.
