Free to play, a little over 95% back in the long run
The Treasury of Ra in Anubis City has three slot machines you can play for free: Sevens of Ra, Book of Thoth and Treasures of Horus. You spin with debens the game gives you, every machine takes 100 to 50,000 a spin, and over a long run each one pays back between 95.1% and 95.4% of everything bet.
The building stands in the back row on the left of the square: two sandstone pylons with golden 777 reels between them. Inside is one hall for everybody. You can see who is sitting at which machine, talk in the hall chat and watch the latest big wins scroll past.
Three machines, three tempers
| Machine | Return | Pays something on | Bonus | Top prize |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sevens of Ra | 95.36% | 44% of spins | none — the wild Sun doubles a line | 200 bets |
| Book of Thoth | 95.20% | 30% of spins | 10 free spins, 1 in 187 spins | 5,000 bets a round |
| Treasures of Horus | 95.14% | 35% of spins | Hold & Win, 1 in 102 spins | GRAND, 1,000 bets |
The return is practically the same, so pick by temper. We played 20,000 sessions on each machine with 10,000 debens at 100 a spin, until the purse ran dry. Half the sessions on Book of Thoth were over within 362 spins — it keeps its money for the free spins. Sevens of Ra lasted a median 595 spins, Treasures of Horus 733: its bonus comes every hundred spins or so and keeps topping the purse up.
If you want the purse to double before it is gone, the classic and the book slot did it in about 32% of sessions, the Hold & Win machine in 22%. More on what these numbers mean: RTP and volatility.
Sevens of Ra — the classic
Three reels, five lines — three rows and two diagonals — and blank spaces between the symbols, like the mechanical machines of old. Three of a kind pay; any three bars pay even when mixed; an ankh on the first reel of a line pays on its own, like the cherry used to.
The Sun of Ra is wild and doubles the line it helps; two Suns make it four times. Three Suns on a line are the top prize, 200 bets — one spin in 12,800. Small wins come often: something pays on 44% of spins, though only on 23% does it cover the bet.
Paytable, lines and where the 95.36% comes from: Sevens of Ra.
Book of Thoth — free spins with an expanding symbol
Five reels, three rows, ten lines. The Book of Thoth is both the wild and the scatter: three books anywhere pay 2 bets and open 10 free spins. Before they start, Thoth picks a special symbol at random. During the free spins it fills every reel it lands on and pays on all ten lines, whether or not those reels sit side by side.
This is the machine with the longest dry spells. About 62% of its return comes from ordinary spins and 33% from free spins, which arrive once in 187 spins on average and pay 62 bets on average — with a long tail. A round can win up to 5,000 bets.
Paytable, the special symbol that pays best and the cap: Book of Thoth.
Treasures of Horus — Hold & Win
Five reels, three rows, 25 lines. The wild Horus lands on reels 2 to 4. Every golden scarab carries a prize — 1 to 15 bets, or the MINI and MINOR jackpots — and six of them anywhere start Hold & Win: the scarabs stay, the rest of the screen empties and you get three respins. Each new scarab sets the counter back to three.
The bonus comes about once in 102 spins and pays 30 bets on average. Fill all 15 cells and the GRAND jackpot adds 1,000 bets. The jackpots are fixed multiples of your own bet: they do not grow, and they do not depend on other players.
Paytable, scarab prizes and how a bonus usually ends: Treasures of Horus.
Bets, autoplay and turbo
- Nine bets a spin: 100, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, 10,000, 25,000 and 50,000 debens. The bet covers all lines — you never choose how many lines to play.
- While the reels turn, Spin becomes Stop: the reels halt at once and the result does not change. While a win is being counted it becomes Skip.
- Auto plays 10, 25, 50, 100 or 250 spins. It can stop on a bonus, on a win of 15 bets or more, or once the loss reaches a limit you set, and it stops by itself when your debens run out or you switch tabs.
- Turbo spins the reels faster. On a computer, Space spins, ← and → change the bet, T switches turbo. Your bet, turbo and autoplay settings are remembered for each machine.
Fair play and your history
Every spin is drawn on the server by a cryptographically secure random number generator, and the whole result — including every free spin or respin of a bonus — is settled in one database transaction while the reels are still turning on your screen. A dropped connection cannot cost you a win; the spin is already in your purse and in the History, which keeps your last 20 spins at each machine.
How that works and why a near miss means nothing: how slot results are made. The maths of bonus rounds: free spins and Hold & Win.
Questions about the slots
Are the slots really free?
Yes. You play with debens the game gives you — 100,000 to start and more from Ra’s Boat every 10 minutes. You cannot buy debens, and you cannot cash them out.
Which machine pays best?
None, really: the returns are 95.36%, 95.20% and 95.14%, and that small gap disappears in any session you could play. Choose by how you like to be paid — often and small, rarely and big, or in between.
Does a bigger bet win more often?
No. The chances and the return are the same at 100 and at 50,000 debens a spin. A bigger bet only makes the wins and the losses bigger.
Are the jackpots progressive?
No. MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and GRAND are always 10, 25, 100 and 1,000 times your bet, so they are equally fair at every stake and do not depend on other players.
What happens if I lose my connection mid-spin?
Nothing is lost. The spin was settled on the server before the reels stopped, so the win is already in your purse and the spin is in the History.
