The advantage of this volatility is that you can get really big payouts! The theoretical return is on your side as it is 96.1% which is slightly above the industry average.

Their products support 20 different languages as well as multiple currencies. Among their popular games are Zulu Gold, Book of Toro, and Fate of Fortune.

Avalanches

The slot comes with an innovative game mechanic that uses gravity to make the rounded symbols move on top of each other whenever possible. This combines with the mechanics of Avalanche so you get a very interesting base game setup.

Each time winning combinations are created, the winning symbols disappear from the playing field. This is followed by a gravity mechanic where the symbols at the top of the stacks will roll down. This can create new prize combos, which in turn are followed by a new cascade, etc. Each subsequent avalanche increases the number of rows and ways to win:

• 4 rows with 4,096 ways to win
• 5 rows with 15,625 ways to win
• 6 rows with 46,656 ways to win
• 7 rows with 117,649 ways to win
• 8 rows with 262,144 ways to win

Multiplier Ladder

On the monolith to the right of the playing field is a multiplier ladder. You need the X Multiplier Scatter symbols to be at the bottom of the reels in order to climb the multiplier ladder. The multiplier value doubles from 2x to 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, and finally 64x.

Free Drops

There is only 1 way to activate the free spins feature - with the help of Free Drops feature. You only need 1 Free Spins symbol to roll down and touch the left monolith to trigger the free spins feature. You will get 7 free spins and now the playing field expands to 8 rows and 262.144 ways to win. The Multiplier Scatter becomes Sticky before the bonus rounds conf, which means climbing the multiplier ladder will be a lot easier for you! You can re-run this feature 1 time.

You can try out the Demo mode for this slot machine, which allows you to spin its reels and make stakes with virtual money, instead of the real ones. This mode is easily accessible to every player and you don't even need to create a casino account to use it. Play for free for as long as you want! If you have used all the provided amount of "fun" coins, just reload the page with the slot machine and continue to test the game for free.

There is no jackpot on this slot but you can still get massive payouts. The maximum win here is 5000x the bet, which is not bad even for a high volatility slot. Play with max bet and you can win up to €500,000!

We are very pleased that ELK Studios found a way to create a truly outstanding Egyptian-themed game! Visually, this slot machine surpasses most similarly themed slots, and the provider even invented a completely new gravity-based game mechanic that could turn out to be just as great as the Avalanches feature! Since the max win potential is huge this slot should really be considered as a gem in the ELK catalog.
