Vault of Anubis Demo & review

In Vault of Anubis, a cluster game, the high symbols can land as 2x2 and 3x3 blocks, so one spin can drop a large piece of a winning cluster onto the grid at once. Red Tiger released it in March 2020, and its bonus, Vault Spins, adds one to a win multiplier on every winning screen. It suits cluster players who are happy for ordinary spins to carry a session while they wait for four scatters.

How Vault of Anubis works

The grid is seven columns of six. A winning cluster needs at least five of one symbol joined side by side or above and below, the winners disappear, and the symbols above fall into place until nothing new pays. The Wild substitutes for all paying symbols.

The paytable is built in cluster sizes, from 5 to 30 or more, and only the top end climbs steeply:

The five low symbols sit on a second page. The best of them, the red one, pays $200 for a cluster of 30 or more, and the weakest five-symbol clusters return a dime.

How the features connect:

1. Super Symbols put 2x2 and 3x3 blocks of high symbols onto the grid at random.
2. Generous Gods, the statues at either side, can add several Wilds at random.
3. Four Vault Spins symbols together start the bonus.
4. In Vault Spins a win multiplier rises by one on every winning screen.

Super Symbols carry the base game, and Vault Spins are the only route to the top payout.

Super Symbols and Generous Gods

All four high-paying symbols have 2x2 and 3x3 versions, and several can land on the same spin, each from any of the four. A block fills four or nine positions with a single high symbol at once.

The Generous Gods are the other base-game help. The statues beside the grid can wake at random and drop several Wilds onto it. Neither feature needs a trigger, so for us the base game is the stronger half of this one.

Vault Spins: how they trigger

Four Vault Spins symbols anywhere on the grid at the same time award 10 free spins. Inside the round, every winning screen adds one to the win multiplier, which the intro calls unlimited. Each +Spin symbol can award up to 8 more spins, and the round runs on its own set of reel strips.

So length is everything: the later a winning screen comes in a long round, the higher the multiplier it is paid at. The +Spin symbols matter more than they look, because each extra spin is another chance for a winning screen at the highest multiplier yet.

RTP, volatility and max win

Red Tiger's help gives a theoretical return of 95.74%, the only figure the demo offered. Casinos choose the version they run, so check the figure where you play. The game gives no volatility label and Red Tiger's gauge carries none either, so we list it as High, the rating it most often carries. The help puts the calculated maximum at 5,469.1x the bet, a little over the 5,000x the intro screen promises, with stakes from 0.10 to 500.

Our Vault of Anubis demo test

The base game did what the Super Symbols promise. Our best spin, number 80, was a cluster win with Super Symbols on the grid for $37.50, and cascades ran on 30 of our spins. Vault Spins scatters showed up on 18 spins but never four at once, so the bonus and the Generous Gods are described from the help and intro pages. That spin was not captured on screen; its amount comes from the game server.

A second, short session was played only to read the help and catch a win on screen, so it stays out of the card above. Its five rounds at $1.00 returned $15.60 in all. The last one dropped a 2x2 Super scarab into a cascade chain that settled at $12.00.

Is Vault of Anubis worth playing?

For a cluster fan who wants an active base game, yes; for a bonus chaser, less so. Super Symbols and random Wilds give ordinary spins a real chance at a mid-sized cluster, and the bonus multiplier only climbs. Where it falls short is the bonus itself: four scatters at once, no buy, and a short starting round to build the multiplier in unless +Spin symbols stretch it.

Pick Propaganda 2 if you want a cluster game whose multiplier grows with every winning symbol and carries from drop to drop in its bonus, with a 25,000x cap. Pick Vault of Anubis for big blocks of one symbol in the base game, at a lower ceiling.

In the demo, count how often a 3x3 block lands next to matching symbols. That shows quickly how much of the game's everyday pay comes from the blocks rather than the grid.
