Egyptian slots are white hot at the moment which is why we were so interested to try out this latest offering from Chartwell gaming. Wild Mummy is a five reel, twenty payline video slot which focuses on the bandaged Pharaoh's and monarchs known as Mummies. The slot includes wilds, multipliers, free spins and prizes up to $12,500.

Wild Mummy Theme

Chartwell slots have a tendency to offer smaller reels, zoomed out so you can view other information and graphics around the reels as well as on them. This one isn't as extreme as others as the reels are placed in a central position and are large, whilst maintaining an area to the side for bonus and feature information.

Naturally there's an Egyptian look and feel with the pyramids, sphinxes and endless desserts shown on the slots background. The reels follow a similar theme with icons such as pyramids and sarcophagus' joining the mummy. Other icons are hieroglyphic styled and include ancient figures such as birds, lions, cobras, servants and 10 through to A designs appearing on every reel.

Betting Options and More Functions

As with other slots on the market this one awards prizes in coins which means they are proportionate to the amount wagered - in laymen's terms this means the more you bet the more you stand to win (or lose). Players are able to wager anything from 0.01 to £/€/$50 with no pressure to wager more than you want to.

Wild Mummy Slot Features

The Mummies bandages are looking a little tattered, but that doesn't stop him having a gleaming smile or being useful. The Mummy wild can substitute for any other icon bar the pyramid or Pharaoh to create wins double the size of the normal paytable value.

Scatter symbols, represented by the Pharaoh, can award up to 200x your bet when two or more appear on the reels. Unlike other icons these do not have to appear in succession, or in any particular order to award a prize.

Pyramids are the key to unlocking three free spins when three icons appear after a spin. This takes you to a second screen where you first pick to reveal a number of free spins and then choose again to unlock multipliers which are applied to any resulting win.

Our Take on Wild Mummy

It's not outstanding but it's not rubbish either, as there is a lot on offer in the stakes and bonus department. We'd have loved it more if the graphics were animated and the sound effects were bespoke. Despite this we feel Wild Mummy is well worth a look, so if you feel the urge please use the exclusive offers below (some of which will let you play for free).
