Hand of Anubis Slot Gameplay and Features

Hand of Anubis is built on a 5x6 grid and uses a cluster pays mechanic, meaning wins are formed by connecting 5 or more matching symbols - with clusters of 11+ symbols delivering even greater rewards. Low-value symbols consist of the classic 10-through-Ace royals, while the high-paying positions are filled by richly detailed ancient Egyptian icons that offer the game's most substantial payouts.

The reels also feature a range of special symbols - including wilds, scatters, and the unique soul orbs - each playing a distinct role in the action. Soul orbs can appear at random during the base game, acting as wild symbols equipped with progressive multipliers that grow as clusters form.

Bonus play is unlocked when you land 3 or 4 scatter symbols, triggering one of two distinct bonus rounds:

• Underworld - activated by 3 scatters
• Judgement - activated by 4 scatters

Both bonus modes offer the potential for extraordinary payouts, making every spin an opportunity to dive deeper into the world of Anubis.

Symbols and Paytable

The Hand of Anubis paytable rewards cluster wins across both low and high-value symbols. Here's a breakdown of what each symbol can deliver when forming a winning cluster in the base game:

• J, Q, K, A - each paying 15x for a cluster of 5
• Scarab Beetle - 20x for a cluster of 5
• Eye of Ra - 20x for a cluster of 5
• Pyramid - 40x for a cluster of 5
• Snake - 40x for a cluster of 5
• Ankh Cross - 60x for a cluster of 5 - the highest base-game symbol

The Egyptian premium symbols clearly outshine the royals, with the Ankh Cross standing as the most rewarding standard symbol on the reels. Refer to the paytable table below for a full overview.

Soul Orbs - Wild Multiplier Symbols

Among the most exciting mechanics in Hand of Anubis are the soul orbs, which can randomly appear during the base game and function as wild symbols with escalating multipliers. Two distinct orb types are in play:

• 🔴 Red Soul Orb - its multiplier value climbs by +1 for every additional symbol included in a cluster win
• 🔵 Blue Soul Orb - its multiplier increases by +1 for each winning cluster formed during a spin

When multiple soul orbs contribute to the same winning cluster, their multiplier values combine, creating the potential for significantly boosted payouts from a single spin. These dynamic wilds add an unpredictable and rewarding layer to every base game session.

Underworld Bonus Round

Land 3 bonus symbols anywhere on the reels to trigger the Underworld bonus feature - a free spins round set beneath the main grid, where 5 multiplier positions appear below the reels.

Here's how the feature works:

• Each time a winning cluster forms, the multiplier counter beneath the relevant reel increases in value
• These multipliers are applied to total winnings at the end of the feature
• Multipliers must be activated before they pay out - this is achieved by landing a green soul orb, which acts as the multiplier modifier symbol
• Every time a multiplier is activated, you receive 3 additional free spins
• The combined total of all active multipliers is applied across winning clusters
• The multiplier values can reach a staggering maximum of 9,999x the bet

The Underworld round rewards persistence - the more clusters you form and the more multipliers you activate, the greater the potential return from this feature.

Judgement Bonus Round

For even greater high-variance excitement, landing 4 bonus symbols in the base game triggers the Judgement bonus round - a hold and win style feature where all standard symbols are stripped from the reels, leaving only special modifier blocks and blank spaces.

The round begins with 3 free spins, and four types of modifier blocks can land to shape your outcome:

• Skulls - increase the multiplier directly above them by +1 to +100
• Epic Skulls - boost all active multipliers by +1 to +100
• Anubis Skulls - multiply the value above them by x2 to x10
• Epic Anubis Skulls - multiply all active values by x2 to x10

Additional mechanics keep the action evolving throughout the feature:

• Ice Blocks create a blank space that is then filled by a new multiplier block, inheriting the multiplier value from directly above it
• After each spin, multiplier blocks stack downward and all blank spaces are cleared before the next drop begins
• Crusher Blocks smash together multiplier blocks beneath them into a single combined block - and crucially, this resets the spin count back to 3, extending your time in the feature

The Judgement round concludes only when 3 consecutive spins pass without any modifier blocks landing - making each active block essential to keeping the round alive.

Bonus Buy Options

Don't want to wait for the bonus rounds to trigger organically? Hand of Anubis includes a Feature Buy option, allowing players to purchase direct access to either bonus mode:

• 🏺 Underworld Bonus Round - available for 129x the bet
• ⚖️ Judgement Bonus Round - available for 200x the bet

This feature is ideal for players eager to experience the high-octane bonus gameplay without waiting through base game spins.

Max Win and Volatility

Hand of Anubis is classified as a highly volatile slot, meaning wins may come less frequently but carry far greater impact when they do. This makes it particularly appealing to players who enjoy high-risk, high-reward gameplay.

The maximum win available in Hand of Anubis is 10,000x the bet - a landmark figure that becomes achievable through the game's stacked multiplier systems, particularly within the Underworld and Judgement bonus rounds.
