Tomb of Akhenaten Demo & review

Every win in Tomb of Akhenaten holds its symbols and respins, and each respin level adds a row, so a 243-ways board can grow to 3,125 ways before anything is paid. Nolimit City released it in December 2020, and in its free spins a multiplier climbs with every one of those respins and never falls back. It suits bonus chasers who want the payoff to grow inside the round, more than players hunting one wild screen.

How Tomb of Akhenaten works

The board starts as five reels of three rows, and wins pay on 243 ways from the leftmost reel. Five gods pay most, Horus at the top, with royals from A down to 10 below them. Wilds appear on reels 2 to 5 alone, and never stand in for the Bonus symbol.

How the features connect:

1. Any win starts Sticky Win Spins: the winning symbols hold and the board respins, up to three levels.
2. Moving up a level with new paying symbols in the added row turns one of them into a Wild.
3. On the third level, Pyramid Wilds can turn whole columns above them wild.
4. Three Bonus symbols start Akhenaten Spins, where every Sticky Win Spin raises a multiplier that never resets.

The Sticky Win Spins carry the base game, and Akhenaten Spins turn the same mechanic into the game's top end.

Sticky Win Spins: what stays and what grows

Sticky Win Spins answer every win. The paying symbols stay in place and the board respins: the first level adds a fourth row, for 1,024 ways, and the second a fifth, for 3,125. The last level adds no row and respins every position that is not part of a win. Nothing is paid until the chain stops, so a small win can finish as a much larger one.

The added rows do more than widen the board. When a level brings new paying symbols into its extra row, one of them becomes a Wild, which helps the following respin connect.

Pyramid Wilds

A wheel sits above each reel on the third level. If its red section lands on the pyramid's tip, that column gets a Pyramid Wild, at most one per column, and every symbol above it turns wild, apart from Bonus symbols and Wilds. Any regular Wild above it becomes a double Wild that counts as two symbols, which is how the biggest base wins are built.

Akhenaten Spins: how they trigger

Three or more Bonus symbols start Akhenaten Spins: three give 8 spins and every extra Bonus adds two more. In the round, each Sticky Win Spin raises the win multiplier by one, according to Nolimit City's page, and the multiplier stays until the round ends instead of resetting between spins. A Bonus symbol landing during the round adds one spin.

So the order of events matters. Early respin chains do little on their own, but they lift the multiplier that every later win is paid at.

Our natural round showed it. Spin 23 landed three Bonus symbols in the middle of a Sticky Win chain at 1,024 ways, and the round ran to nine spins with one Bonus added. Midway through, the multiplier stood at x3 with five spins left, and it ended at x7. The round paid $71.40.

Bonus buy: prices and what you get

The Nolimit Bonus panel sells the round at two sizes. The larger one matches what five Bonus symbols would give.

The rules give no separate volatility label for either buy. By the rules, the 12-spin buy is the better one, with a higher RTP and four more chances to lift a multiplier that never comes back down.

RTP, volatility and max win

The base game returns 96.09% by the rules, and the intro badge rates the volatility High. The top payout is 20,932x the bet, simulated by the provider at one round in ten billion. One review site gives 26,261x, but the rules and Nolimit City's page agree on the lower cap. Reaching it needs both features at full stretch: a Sticky Win chain at 3,125 ways with Pyramid Wilds, paid at a high Akhenaten Spins multiplier.

Our Tomb of Akhenaten demo test

The base game rarely went quiet for long. Thirty-three spins paid, and no dry spell lasted beyond eight spins, because even a tiny win starts a respin chain. Half the wins stayed under $1, and the chains that climbed made the money: spin 61 went through all three levels to 3,125 ways and paid $35.80.

The two buys split. The 8-spin round finished at x8 and came back close to its price, while the 12-spin round, stretched to thirteen by a Bonus symbol, was mostly blank, and its multiplier stopped at x5. One round per buy only shows how the feature can go, not which buy returns more.

No Pyramid Wild could be picked out on screen, so that part comes from the rules. Over a session this short, luck decides far more than the maths.

Is Tomb of Akhenaten worth playing?

Not for one big base hit, but yes for the bonus. Akhenaten Spins reward patience inside the round: every respin chain lifts the multiplier for good, so a quiet start can still end well. The base game is busier than its hit rate suggests, thanks to the respins, but the top pays need Pyramid Wilds on the last level.

Pick Legacy of Egypt if you want an Egyptian 5x3 game whose free spins come with a multiplier set at the start, between x2 and x10. Choose Tomb of Akhenaten if you would rather watch the multiplier climb during the round, with a cap roughly four times as high.

In the demo, buy the 8-spin round once and watch the multiplier counter in the top corner. It shows how quickly respin chains add up, which is the whole case for this game.
