In Mummy Power, 3 Oaks Gaming takes a departure from its popular Hold and Win slots, offering players a different kind of gaming experience. This slot introduces random enlarged symbols in the base game and guaranteed mega wilds in the free spins feature, potentially awarding payouts of up to 1,000x the stake.
As the title suggests, the game is set in Egypt, specifically in a tomb that players are about to explore in search of hidden treasures. While the theme of ancient Egypt is commonly used in the iGaming world, credit should be given to the design team for delivering top-notch visuals. The cartoonish graphics are highly detailed, and the animations are smooth and lively. The accompanying soundtrack adds to the overall atmosphere.
Mummy Power is played on a standard 5×3 reel grid, with 10 different pay symbols appearing to form winning combinations when 3 or more identical symbols land adjacent to each other from left to right along the 20 fixed paylines. The lower-paying symbols consist of five scarabs of different colors, while the premiums include ankhs, scrolls, scorpions, snakes, and dolls.
Matching 5 scarab symbols of the same color pays between 1.25x and 2.5x the bet, while 5-of-a-kind premium symbol wins range from 5x to 25x the bet. The mummies take center stage as the Wild symbols, substituting for any regular symbol in winning combinations and offering the highest value among all symbols, with payouts of up to 50x the bet for their own combinations.
Mummy Power is accessible on any device and accommodates players with varying budgets, featuring a betting range of MYR0.40 to MYR150 per spin. However, the game’s mathematics may not appeal to everyone. While the volatility leans toward the high side, the RTP stands at 95.52%, which is below average. The maximum win potential is also modest, with a maximum payout of 1,000x the bet on a single spin.
The standout feature of Mummy Power is the Mega Symbols, which can appear in both the base game and the bonus round. During any base spin, the mummy character to the left of the reels can randomly expand one of the pay symbols into a 2×2 mega symbol, covering 4 positions on the reels and counting as 4 separate symbols in winning combinations. In the bonus round, the Mega Symbols function differently, as explained below.
To trigger the bonus round, players need to land 3 pyramid Scatter symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 simultaneously during the base game. This awards 10 initial free spins, and the feature can be extended by landing additional pyramid symbols, which can add +2, +3, +5, or even +10 extra spins.
