Jackpot:

Winning the top award or the jackpot is very easy. Players must spin three sphinxes in a row across a pay-line. But players must bear in mind that they cannot win the jackpot unless they place the maximum bet.

Players who miss the jackpot can try for the winning combination that offers the second largest payout. To win it, they simply have to spin a winning combo with the Pharaoh Tutankahmun.

Slot machine enthusiasts still enjoy this classic Cryptologic slot. Players who have never tried it can do so any time at one of the prominent Cryptologic casinos.
