Turn back the clock as you head deep into the golden dessert by the river Nile in this Golden Egypt slot.
Ancient Egypt slots are a dime a dozen, the most famous of which has to be none other than IGT’s own Cleopatra phone game.
And this Golden Egypt mobile slot doesn’t try and break the mould, instead sticking to well known symbols and animations that bring you back to the time of the Pharaohs.
This is a classic theme that looks better online than on your mobile Android or iPhone casino, but has plenty of charm none the less.
Straight away you notice that for a 25 payline IGT slot machine, this Golden Egypt game seems to pay out more often than you’d expect.
That’s because every time you collect 2 coins at the top of the reels, you make that whole reel wild for the next 2 spins.
And whilst it’s rare to get all five reels wilds, getting two or three isn’t impossible.
Add that one symbol will always be chosen to be stacked before each spin, and it’s a combination that kept us spinning.
Which is the only downside, but not one you’d be that surprised about if you’ve played on IGT games for mobile before.
But if you do catch them, you can get some truly astounding wins. Maybe not as much as the Wolf Run Megajackpots slot, but enough to make you feel like a Pharaoh, if only for a few minutes.
That’s mostly thanks to the fact that you can get anything from 1 to 3 reels totally wild for the duration of your Golden Egypt free spins.
Free spins or no free spins, the Wild Stays 2 Play feature is the real eye candy here, as those coins create wild reels that make you hope for more on each turn.
The theme of this Golden Egypt video slot might lack imagination, but the gameplay does not.

This Golden Egypt slot on mobile doesn't look that unusual when you first open it up, but you soon realise that it holds one secret super weapon.

It's not the hardest hitting IGT online slot out there, but much like the beloved Golden Goddess game, Golden Egypt wins our heart for it's quick action and generous features.
