About the Game
Rise of Egypt is a medium-volatility slot by Playson with 20 fixed paylines and a 5x3 grid.
The Anubis Wild expands across reels 2, 3 and 4, and every Wild landed during Free Spins pushes lower symbols up a fixed payout chain. Free Spins run for 12 rounds with a hard 35-round cap, and the combination of both features drives the game's 944x max win.
Theme & Visuals
The reels carry a desert-tomb palette of gold, sand and deep blue, with carved hieroglyph borders framing the grid. Anubis fills the Wild position, a stone pyramid serves as Scatter, and a scarab beetle sits at the top of the regular symbol chain.
Lower-tier symbols include the Eye of Horus, an ankh, a lotus flower and a purple amulet, backed by card royals A, K, Q and J. A phoenix bird sits between the scarab and the Eye of Horus in the payout hierarchy.
Expanding Wild (Anubis)
The Anubis Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter and appears only on reels 2, 3, and 4. In the base game, it expands to cover an entire reel only when that expansion completes a winning combination. The reel expansion is triggered only when a win occurs.
During Free Spins, the wild substitution rule changes: any Anubis symbol that lands expands to fill its reel automatically, with no win condition attached. That guaranteed reel expansion carries into every Free Spins round, which is why the bonus builds value faster than the base game.
Symbol Upgrade System
The upgrade chain runs only during Free Spins. Each time a Wild lands anywhere on the grid, every lower-paying symbol steps up one tier.
The chain runs: Purple Amulet to Lotus, Lotus to Ankh, Ankh to Eye of Horus. From there, Eye of Horus goes to Phoenix Bird, and Phoenix Bird to Scarab.
The beetle occupies the top position on the chain, and once it reaches that position, it does not continue to move up the levels. The symbols move up the level chain with each wild symbol that appears. A round with multiple wild symbols can transform a grid of low-level symbols into one consisting mainly of beetles before the bonus round ends. None of this affects the bet multiplier itself.
Free Spins
Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols (the pyramid) in the base game triggers 12 Free Spins. Scatter pays are credited independently of the paylines, on top of triggering the bonus.
A retrigger of 3+ Scatters during Free Spins adds another 12 rounds. Every Wild that lands on the grid during the bonus also adds +1 Free Spin.
The round total is capped at 35 rounds regardless of how many Wilds or retriggers occur.
The wild guarantees a full-reel expansion and triggers the upgrade chain on every landing. Free Spins rounds tend to build payout potential quickly the longer they run.

RTP, Volatility & Bankroll
Rise of Egypt runs at 95.82% RTP with medium volatility. The listed 944x max win is realistic mainly inside Free Spins. The guaranteed wild expansion and the symbol upgrade chain combine to raise grid values round after round.
With a betting range of $0.20 to $50.00, the medium volatility offers rewards that start near the lower end of that range. Playing more spins with a lower bet gives you a better chance of triggering the Scatter symbol before increasing your bet.

Rise of Egypt on Mobile
The game runs through the casino's mobile browser on both iOS and Android handsets, with no standalone app to install.
| Platform | Minimum Requirement |
|---|---|
| iOS | iOS 14+ with Safari 14+ |
| Android | Android 8+ with Chrome 90+ |
To launch it on a phone, open the casino site or app and search for the game title in the lobby search bar. Tap Play to load the demo or real-money version.
Autoplay can pause itself on iOS Safari if the screen locks mid-round, so keep the display active during a Free Spins session. Rotating the phone to landscape mode enlarges the reels and paytable, while portrait mode keeps the bet controls within thumb reach.
Demo vs Real Money
The demo version starts with a virtual balance and no withdrawal option, allowing players to try out the expanding wild and the upgrade chain without risking their money.
To play for real money, you must make a deposit within the betting range of $0.20 to $50.00. Any casino that offers the Rise of Egypt game allows you to withdraw your winnings once you’ve met the wagering requirements, if any.
The RTP remains at 95.82% in both modes, so the calculations behind each spin do not change. However, the actual 944x payout is only taken into account when playing Rise of Egypt for real money, since the credits in the demo version have no monetary value.
FAQ
In the base game the Anubis wild expands across its reel only when that expansion completes a win. During Free Spins the same wild expands every time it lands, with no win requirement.
Every Wild landed during Free Spins upgrades lower symbols one step up the chain, from Purple Amulet through to Scarab. Upgrades keep stacking for as long as the bonus round lasts, up to the 35-round cap.
The base trigger awards 12 Free Spins, retriggers add another 12, and each Wild landed during the bonus adds one extra round. The total is capped at 35 rounds no matter how many retriggers or Wilds appear.
Yes. The pyramid Scatter pays 50x, 15x or 2x the bet for 5, 4 or 3 symbols regardless of position on the grid. This payout is separate from any line win.
The max win is 944x the bet. It is realistically reachable during Free Spins, where the guaranteed wild expansion and the symbol upgrade chain push grid values higher. The base game does not offer the same potential.
Most casinos that list Rise of Egypt online offer a free demo alongside the real-money version. The reel expansion and upgrade mechanics can be tested with no deposit first.
