Casino software developer Playson is transporting players back in time on a mystical African adventure with the launch of its new game, Rise of Egypt Deluxe.

Playson

Set in the legendary land of pyramids and gods, this 3x5 videoslot with 20 paylines sees Playson update its classic, Rise of Egypt, with additional thrilling features.

The new title Playson’s first to give players the option to purchase game features – in this case, free spins.

The wild symbol is pristinely drawn as an Egyptian Bastet and substitutes all symbols except the scatter. When the cat goddess lands, it expands on the whole reel if it can compose a winning combination and appears on reels two, three and four.

Three or more scatter symbols trigger 12 free spins and to crank up the tension during free spins, the wild symbol grants a retrigger and upgrades lower paying symbols to higher paying symbols right before the winnings are paid. This gives players a chance to get only top-paying symbols on the reels during the bonus mode.

Vsevolod Lapin, head of product at Playson, said: “With Rise of Egypt Deluxe, we’ve taken everything from its classic predecessor and added more. This new version of a Playson fan favourite incorporates a revised math model and showcases our first buy on demand feature.”
