This slot takes you back to ancient Egypt and King Tut's tomb. This has been disturbed and the dead pharaoh has risen to wreak havoc across the reels. While he is on the rampage, you can try your luck at sneaking into his tomb to get his hidden treasures. Keep a keen eye on the hieroglyphic symbols that appear if you land a single wild, as they are instrumental in activating the bonus collection feature.
About the slot
Tut's Twister comes with some superb graphics, sounds and animations that really enhance player enjoyment of this game. The theme is, of course, ancient Egypt. King Tut himself stands menacingly on the left of the screen, ready to spin into action to defend his treasure when the bonus feature is triggered. The game has a simple interface making it easy to locate the various game play features, which is attractive to new players.
For instance, you can easily change the settings on this game. A simple click of a button allows you to adjust the volume or change your wager size without any trouble. There is also a useful autoplay function. Although there are no free spins in this game, the bonus feature in this slot is activated very easily in comparison to many other games. This is certainly a plus for players since it increases their chances of landing a win.
Slot technicalities
This Yggdrasil slot has 5 reels and 25 fixed paylines. It also features an excellent RTP of 97.1%. The game's wild symbol is represented by a golden King Tut mask bearing the inscription ‘Wild’. This wild symbol is important for triggering the twister feature. There are no other special symbols such as a scatter. The high paying symbols in this slot are a jewelled ring, the sign of Horus, a scroll covered with hieroglyphs and a bowl of jewels. The low paying symbols are the usual 4 playing card symbols of hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs in red, blue, purple and green.
The bowl of jewels pays 130 coins if you are lucky enough to land 5 of them anywhere on the reels, while 4 bowls will earn you 65 coins and 3 will get you 25 coins. Indeed, this is the highest paying symbol of them all in this game. Another symbol worth noting in this review is the sign of Horus. Landing 5 of them anywhere on the reels will reward you with 120 coins, while landing 4 signs gets you 60 coins. Best of all though, if you land 2 wilds anywhere on the reels during your spins, you will trigger the exciting bonus twister feature.
Slot special functions
This slot features just the one bonus game, the twister of the title, that can be triggered in 2 ways. First, by landing at least 2 wilds in one spin. Alternatively, above each reel sit a different number of empty hieroglyph symbols. Land a single wild and you are awarded a hieroglyph that will fill the appropriate empty pocket. Complete the set on a particular reel and also trigger the twister.
Triggering Tut’s Twister from 2 wilds results in the wild symbol that is furthest on the left changing into a sandstorm twister that expands to fill the whole of that reel and turns it all wild. If this bonus feature is triggered by completing a set of hieroglyphs an any one reel, that reel turns into the twister. In each case the reward is free respins.
While the twister is spinning, any other wilds that are on the reels turn into walking wilds and will be dragged over and sucked into the storm. Every time you have at least 3 wilds on the go, your wins are increased by a multiplier of 2x for the first group and then a further 1x for every extra set of 3 wilds you land.
The good thing is that if there aren't any more wilds you will still be awarded one last respin so that you can try to land yet another wild to keep the twister going. If you aren't lucky in that round, the bonus feature will end and you will need to get back to the base game.
