When it comes to online gambling and casinos, Slots are where the fun happens. Those large, loud and clunky machines that occupy masses of space at brick-and-mortar establishments have had one hell of a makeover to keep those digitally-savvy gamers entertained. Classic games, themed games, games with ever-increasing jackpots – online Slots have it all. When it comes to the themed games too, players are spoilt for choice – but there are some niches which are more popular than others. One of those is ancient history and mythology-themed games. So, if you’re looking for a fun new one to play and possibly win some wonga along the way, read on…
Egyptian
Cleopatra – The Queen of the Nile herself is the leading lady in this slot. Alongside the usual high-card symbols, the reels detail images from ancient Egyptian culture including scarab beetles, lotus flowers and hieroglyphics. You’re looking to land those mysterious Cleopatra symbols and the more, the better – five Cleopatras across the screen could win you up to 10,000 times your bet. Cleopatra also acts as the game’s wild to double any potential wins. If you’re not lucky enough to land the queen, you’ll be hoping for some free spins and decent bonuses by landing the sphinx symbol.
Mayan
Mayan Mystery – Discover the ancient civilisation and temples of Central America with this slot. Played on five reels, three rows and with 10 pay-lines, can you uncover the mysteries that lie within? You’ll be looking to land the Mayan engravings and masks, but of course, those high-card symbols will, more often than not, land on the reels for lesser wins. Look out for the Mayan mystery symbol – a golden coin – to trigger a frenzy of spins and land symbols at random. Once all those symbols have been revealed, you could well win up to 500 times your stake. Want riches? Raid this temple.
Norse
Vikings Unleashed – Based on the TV series of the same name, this Slots game not only has symbols relevant to the theme, but snow drifts across the screen mimicking the landscapes of the North Cape and there’s an eerie soundtrack too. Like most Slots games, the playing card symbols make up the smaller wins, while you’re looking to find the V (Vikings) icon or the characters from the show. All seven will appear at some point and if you can get all of them, they’re worth up to 28 times your stake. The fun comes when you land the raid spins icon on reels three to five – receive seven free spins and over 78,000 ways to win! Will you pillage the Norse Gods and Goddesses for their loot? Unleash your inner warrior.
Roman
Spartacus – Grab your sword and defeat the enemies that get in your way to become the emperor of Rome in this game. It’s not just gladiators but lions too that adorn the reels of this highly-decorated game. The main draw is the two different sets of reels – the main grid consists of five reels by four rows, while the Colossal reels are a set of five by 12 rows. With 100 pay-lines, look to land the Spartacus wild symbol and five of those will hand you the jackpot of 1,250 coins. If you want the big wins, you’ll be hoping for some free spins – well hit the coliseum scatter symbol three or more times across both sets of reels to unlock those extra chances at winning mega money.
