Fury of Anubis Slot Review

There is a moment in every year when a studio runs out of Greek gods and starts flicking through the Egyptian index instead. Fury of Anubis is that moment for Pragmatic Play, and to the studio's credit the maths has been given more thought than the theme. Anyone who has played Gates of Olympus will recognise the skeleton immediately: a wide grid, symbols that pay anywhere, tumbles that clear winners and drop replacements. What is different is how the multiplier behaves. Instead of random multiplier orbs dropping in, Fury of Anubis doubles a single multiplier with every consecutive tumble, from 1x up to a cap of 1,024x. That is a cleaner, more readable idea than the scattergun approach in Sweet Bonanza, and it turns each cascade chain into something you can actually count. The listed RTP of 96.52% is a decent starting point, the max win is 10,000x, and the volatility is rated medium, which is the part worth arguing about.

The grid runs six columns by five rows, described by the studio as a 5x6 layout. There are no paylines at all: you need 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid, with pay tiers at 8-9, 10-11 and 12 or more. The scarab is the premium, paying 100x total bet at 12 or more symbols, with the ring at 40x and the ankh knife at 25x behind it. Below those sit a scroll and five gem colours that hand out fractions of your stake unless they land in bulk.

Every winning combination is removed and new symbols fall into the gaps, which is where the multiplier does its work. Each paid spin begins at 1x. The first tumble win takes it to 2x, then 4x, 8x, 16x and onward until either the tumbles stop or the 1,024x ceiling arrives. When the sequence ends, the multiplier drops back to 1x for the next spin. Nothing carries over, so the base game is a series of self-contained chains rather than a slow build.

Bet sizes run from €0.20 to €240, and there are Bonus Bet and Bonus Buy options attached in the usual Pragmatic Play fashion. One thing deserves emphasis: three RTP versions are published, 96.52%, 95.51% and 94.52%. Operators choose which one they host, and two percentage points is not a rounding error over a long session.

Three to six scatters trigger the feature and always award 10 free spins. The scatter count sets the opening multiplier: 8x for three, 16x for four, 32x for five and 64x for six. Crucially, that multiplier resets to its starting value before every free spin rather than to 1x, so each spin in the round begins already inflated and then doubles from there with each tumble.

Before the round starts, you are offered a gamble on the starting multiplier. Win and it doubles, up to a maximum of 256x. Lose and the bonus disappears entirely, which is a harsher penalty than most gamble screens impose. Retriggers are generous by comparison: landing 3-6 scatters inside the feature resets the spin count back to 10 and multiplies the starting multiplier by 2x to 16x, which is the realistic route to anything approaching the 10,000x cap.

A stated hit frequency of 27.85% means something lands on roughly one paid spin in four. At this volatility that usually translates into frequent minor returns that keep the balance ticking rather than collapsing, with genuine damage done only when a chain runs four or five tumbles deep and the multiplier reaches 16x or 32x. Those chains are not everyday events, but they are common enough to make the base game watchable, which is more than can be said for a lot of pay-anywhere titles.

The medium label should be read carefully, though. A game with a 10,000x ceiling does not distribute outcomes evenly; the medium rating reflects the steady drip of small base-game wins, while the top end still lives almost entirely inside the free spins. Expect stretches where the grid returns 0.2x and 0.5x repeatedly and the session looks flat. That is the trade for a bonus that can open at 64x.

Play it if

You like tumble mechanics where the multiplier logic is transparent, you want a shot at a four-figure multiplier without paying for it with a punishing base game, and you find a casino running the 96.52% configuration. The doubling multiplier gives the round-by-round tension that random multiplier drops often lack.

Skip it if

You have played several Pragmatic Play grid slots this year and want something structurally new, or you find all-or-nothing gamble screens irritating. The option to lose an entire bonus before it begins will not suit everyone, and lower RTP versions are a real risk at some operators.

A well-engineered grid slot with a smarter multiplier than most of its siblings, held back by a familiar frame and a punishing gamble screen. The 96.52% top setting and the 10,000x ceiling make it competitive, and the doubling tumble multiplier is the most readable version of this mechanic Pragmatic Play has shipped in a while. It is not new territory, but it is a good build of an old idea, and that earns a solid 8.6.
