We just finished testing our new slot, 3 Egypt Chests, and it left us wanting to visit the Egyptian pyramids. A rhythmic soundtrack, Egyptian-themed game symbols, and a blue-sky backdrop with pyramids combine to create an exotic getaway vibe fit for a pharaoh.
As you spin the reels, you’ll see a mix of standard game symbols and bonuses. Every matching set that starts on the first reel issues a payout based on the symbol’s value. While lining up payouts in the base game is satisfying, the best part of 3 Egypt Chests is the Hold & Win bonus round.
We’ll get into detail about what the bonus round includes and how to trigger it in our 3 Egypt Chest game review. If you’ve got a weak spot for Egyptian-themed games, read on to see what this one is all about.
Gameplay & Design
Fans of Egyptian-themed slot games will appreciate the design of 3 Egypt Chests. Its five reels spin over a background of pyramids surrounding a temple, which you get to enter in the bonus round. The soundtrack is exotic and lowkey, enhancing the theme without being distracting.
On the five reels and three rows, you’ll see Egyptian-themed game symbols. A statue of a pharaoh’s head offers the biggest payout: 15X for landing a line of five matches. The next-best game symbol is the Hawk, which offers 12.5X your bet when you get five matches. The mid-tier symbols are three unique hieroglyph carvings, followed by the standard card ranks J, Q, K and A.
To trigger payouts, you must land three or more matching symbols on the game’s 10 paylines, starting on the first reel. The payouts multiply your total bet, which you can choose from a range of $0.20 to $55 per spin.
With your bet set, you can start the action by manually pressing the “Spin” button, or using the spacebar on your keyboard; this game is also mobile-optimized. To speed things up, there are three speed levels, making it possible to get the exact pace you like. Additionally, you can put the game on hands-free mode with the “Auto” button.
Key Features
Wilds
Keep an eye out for the Egyptian Pharaoh sculpture symbols; these wilds land in the base game and transform into other game symbols in order to create winning lines; they will not, however, transform into bonus symbols.
Bonus Symbols
The gold coin outlined in blue, green or yellow can land on any reel and is a bonus symbol. In the base game, it acts as a progress symbol and is added to the colour-coordinated chest above the reels (chests are called Extra, Multi and Double). When the chest fills with coins, it triggers the bonus round.
Boost Feature
To trigger the Boost feature, you must land the bonus coin and boost symbol simultaneously. The feature collects all of the payouts from the bonus symbols on the reels and adds them to the winning payout.
Jackpots
During the bonus round, gold bonus coins with Grand, Major, Minor and Mini shown on them land on the reels, giving you a chance to win the jackpots on display.
- The Mini awards a 15X jackpot
- The Minor awards a 30X jackpot
- The Major awards a 100X jackpot
- The Grand awards a 5000X jackpot
To win the Grand jackpot, you need to fill all 15 spots on the grid in the bonus round with bonus coins.
Bonus Rounds
The bonus round is triggered by landing sufficient blue, red or green bonus symbols to fill their corresponding chest; there is no “Buy” option included in the game. Each colour triggers a unique version of the bonus round, which is a series of three re-spins on bonus reels.
- The blue “Extra” chest increases the number of re-spins from three to four. From then on, every new bonus symbol that lands re-sets the counter to four spins.
- The red “Multi” chest adds multipliers to random bonus symbols for the entire round.
- The green “Double” chest doubles the 5-reel, 3-row grid; the second one starts with the same bonus symbols as the first.
With every bonus coin that lands, the re-spin metre is reset, extending the bonus round until you run out of re-spins or even better—you fill the grid with bonus coins and trigger the Grand Jackpot of 5000X.
Casino Crypto Play
3 Egypt Chests can be played with real money in our online casino, even if you deposit with a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. We have supported crypto as a transaction option for quite some time because it’s the most reliable deposit and withdrawal method on the market.
The best part of using crypto is the absence of a financial institution, which means there’s also an absence in blocked deposits. As long as you use the correct deposit address, your funds—be it Bitcoin, Ethereum, USD Tether or Litecoin—are guaranteed to come through.
Speed is another reason people opt to use crypto over more conventional transaction options. Waiting for a payout is not fun for anyone, but when you choose to be paid with crypto, that payment goes to your wallet typically within a day after the withdrawal is authorized on our end. It’s not possible to match that speed when waiting for a cheque to be delivered by courier.
Although we encourage players to give crypto a try, it’s not the only transaction option offered in our casino. To see the full list, sign up for an Ozoon account today by filling in the registration form. New players are eligible for our casino welcome bonus package that includes a match bonus and free spins on a popular slot—another Egyptian-themed game in Gods of Luxor. With your bankroll boosted, you can enjoy more time spinning through Ancient Egypt and excavating payouts.
