Pragmatic Play launches new Ancient Egypt-inspired slot "Fortune of Giza"

iGaming content provider Pragmatic Play announced Thursday the launch of its latest title, "Fortune of Giza." The company describes the game as "an adventure through Ancient Egypt where sticky wilds reign supreme."

Pharaohs and a range of Egyptian Gods fill the 5x3 reels, and these must form matching combinations across the title's 20 paylines in order to award a win. Wilds aid in creating these wins by substituting all other symbols except the free spin, and can also be landed with a multiplier attached to them. 

Landing at least three scatter symbols in the base game unlocks the free spins round. Prior to the round commencing, a 3x3 grid will spin to reveal numbers between one and three, with the overall figure gained reflecting the number of free spins awarded. 

During these free spins, any wilds landed will hold throughout the round. If several multipliers connect as part of a win, their multiplier is added together increasing the winning potential and are instrumental in unlocking Fortune of Giza's max win of 6,750x. 

In an official press release, Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, spoke about this new product and said: "Wild multiplier mechanics always prove to be a hit for our players, with them boosting wins and excitement during the bonus round. Fortune of Giza further builds upon this concept with wild multipliers being sticky throughout the bonus round, creating a crescendo of potential for the duration of free spins that will prove to be incredibly popular."  

Pragmatic Play currently produces up to six new slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through one single API.   The "Fortune of Giza" release follows recent launches such as "Zombie Carnival", "Wild West Gold Megaways", and "Cleocatra", which reside amongst a collection of over 200 titles in Pragmatic Play's games portfolio.
