No-Limit Texas Hold’em on three levels: the Scribes’ Table (blinds 50/100, buy-in 1,000–20,000), the Priests’ Table (500/1,000) and the Pharaoh’s Table (5,000/10,000), each with five- or nine-seat versions and 15 seconds a move.

Size your bets with a slider or the Min, ½ pot, ¾, Pot and Max buttons. Side pots, split pots and all-ins follow the standard rules, so you can think about decisions instead of arithmetic. More about our tables and the hand rankings.

75-ball bingo runs in the Hall of Seshat. Up to 40 people share a hall, and “AI” residents buy cards too, so the pot grows at any hour — when one of them wins, its share is simply not paid out, and nothing extra is taken from people. A line takes 30% of the pot, a full card 70%. Bingo rules.

European roulette in the Rotunda of Shai has one zero and a shared wheel with no spin button; a round takes about half a minute. At the Scribes’ Table you can stake up to 10,000 debens a spin, at the Pharaoh’s Table up to a million.

Blackjack in the Hall of Thoth: six decks, the dealer stands on soft 17, blackjack pays 3 to 2 and insurance 2 to 1. The dealer’s hidden card stays on the server until it is turned over, so nobody can peek, not even through the browser.

Three machines in the Treasury of Ra: Sevens of Ra (3×3, five lines, up to ×200 the bet), Book of Thoth (5×3, ten lines, free spins, up to ×5,000 a round) and Treasures of Horus (5×3, 25 lines, Hold & Win, GRAND jackpot ×1,000). Each returns about 95%, the same at any stake, and a guest can spin without an account. More about the slots.

The weekly top is experience — from hands, daily visits, Ra’s Boat, chat and emotes — credited to the country and city in your profile when you earned it. Only in-game names appear, for players who chose to show their place.

Search for your city in Russian, Ukrainian or English. Renamed cities answer to their old names too: “Leningrad” finds Saint Petersburg and “Sverdlovsk” finds Yekaterinburg. Below are the cities that already have players.

1. Open the game in your browser and enter as a guest — no email or phone needed.
2. Go to your profile and set My city. The connection suggests the country; find your city by name or keep “Country only”.
3. To play with friends, save your character and open your own table in the Temple of Fortune; friends join with a six-character code or a link.

We are not lawyers, so we put this carefully. Gambling in Russia is governed by Federal Law No. 244-FZ of 29 December 2006 (in Russian). It defines a gambling game as a risk-based agreement on winnings; a stake is money handed to the organiser as a condition of taking part; winnings are money or other property, including property rights. The law prohibits organising gambling over the internet, apart from a narrow exception that has nothing to do with us.

Anubis City has no money stake and no winnings. Debens come from the game and cannot be bought for roubles, sold or exchanged for goods. As we understand the law, that makes it a free social game rather than gambling — like playing cards with friends just for fun. The game is for players aged 18 and over.
