Black Mummy Slots

When Egyptian slots are made, they normally follow the story of famous pharaohs and the lives they led, with the offering at the end of it all being a lump sum of cash. Wanting to deviate from the norm and appeal to a wider market, Tom Horn Gaming has gone for an Egyptian theme with a mummy at its fore.

Despite them choosing to focus on the undead, you won’t find anything sweet or adhering about Black Mummy – he’s not to be trifled with when you approach the 5 reels. He’s been asleep for a thousand years, listening to the fall of footsteps of explorers trying to rob him of what’s rightfully his. Well no more. From now on he expects all who venture inside the tomb to work hard to uncover the goods.

The 5 winlines inside the grid may look modern and shiny, but they’re actually dressed up to fool you, for what you get here is a vintage experience: there are no bonuses or special features, only a wild symbol promising a link to the jackpot.

How to Play

As the paylines are frozen into place, players won’t be able to tailor the gameplay to their preferred settings, meaning that they either deal with the number given or move onto another game. In an attempt to appease users who dislike the lack of flexibility, Tom Horn have made their betting range very small, between 0.10 and 25 credits. This may seem like a lot to the untrained eye, but stake thresholds can be gross in their awesomeness, and so this is a welcome sight.

Continuing on with the cost of your bet, should you wish to play with the max amount of funds, you can do so by merely tapping the Max Bet button provided, rather than click through the various figures. It’s just a quicker way of gaming that cuts out the middleman. Also designed for speed is the Autoplay widget. The list of rounds enable you to determine how many spins you’d like to play without physically touching anything, which in turn makes it a more relaxed form of entertainment. The choices increase up to 100 waves.

Thereafter, customers don’t really have anything else to select in order to play, there are help sections and gaming rules, but they’re not necessary to read prior to playing. What is more, you can open them up at any time, even when in mid-spin.

The Symbols

We’ve already touched on the (potential) issue of no special features, but we didn’t go into much detail about it; Black Mummy may not have bonuses, but they do have a wild. This probably sounds like a poor consolation, but it really isn’t. This is because the wild not only removes all symbols, but it combines with some of the other icons to make bigger wins.

Take the card value tiles as an example, alone none of them will get you much money, even when you’re playing with a large wager; results are between 0.10 and 150 credits (that covers all possible wins). However, when they show up with the wild the cash has a multiplier placed on them, the value increasing the more that are found. Therefore, if you get five K tiles and the mummy symbol, you’ll win 125 credits with a x5 multiplier.

In regards to the premium symbols, they can’t be activated alongside the wild for their values are already impressive enough as it is. What’s most important to stress here is that what you can expect to win really does come down to the amount of money you’re willing to part with. If you play it safe you won’t get any surprising returns, it’s just the nature of this slot machine.

Aftermath

So where does all this leave us when we’re finished playing and in need of another gaming fix? Well, in a sort of limbo in actuality. This is because Black Mummy isn’t a title you’re likely to play repeatedly, it’s rather a gap filler, an in between to fill the void whilst you search for a new favourite. What is more, it’s very similar to Cleopatra’s Secret, another Egyptian slot from Tom Horn, and that activity is far superior to this one.
