The Golden Glyph 2 slot is a beautiful 7 reel grid game with cluster pays and tumbling reels, 7 base game features, and scatters that trigger free spins with walking wilds and multipliers.
Ancient Egyptian slot games are a dime a dozen, so what separates one from the others is the mechanics of the game. For one, this is a grid slot, meaning when 5 or more symbols touch horizontally or vertically not only do you get a win, but those symbols explode, and more come avalanching down.
We love these types of slots, but if that’s all there was to it, we wouldn’t give this Golden Glyph 2 slot review 5 stars. The reason we did is that on every win something exciting happens.
You get 6 power-ups that could happen, from 4 to 10 wilds to a huge amount of symbols removed in the shape of a cross, an ankh, bird, eye, hourglass, and snake. And then on the 7th win in a row, you can get a giant 2×3 wild randomly on the reels.
Did that catch your eye? Is it because it’s bigger than the already very decent 13,000x your bet max win from the original Golden Glyph slot? And bigger than the 2,200x your stake of the Ghost Glyph slot?
Needless to say, Quickspin is upping their game and making this bigger and better. That includes a theme that may be overdone but beautifully done, from those sand dunes in the background to the god Horus flying onto the reel during the free spins.
What we particularly enjoyed is the fact that every spin brings something new and interesting and you never know what you might get.
Sure, for the most part, symbols just explode in pretty patterns. But if you get very lucky you’ll catch the Golden Glyph 2 free spins.
When you get 3 scatters you’ll trigger 7 free spins with one golden glyph symbol on the reels. Trigger the free spins with more scatters and you’ll get 2 or even three golden glyph wilds.
What are these strange and elusive glyphs? They are walking wilds that will move around the screen on each spin, giving you more wins. Not only that but when they are part of a win the multiplier on the wild increases.
We’ve seen multipliers of up to 18x, but more could be possible on re-triggers or if you get multiple avalanching wins in a row.
We may have given this Golden Glyph 2 mobile slot review 5 stars, but it’s not without a word of caution. Namely the fact that the volatility and the multipliers need patience and prayer. If you have a little of both, you might just find your new favourite slot machine.

Cluster Pays and Tumbling Reels: You get a win by getting a cluster of 5 or more symbols touching horizontally or vertically. Any symbols that are part of a win will explode and the remaining symbols will tumble downwards, with more symbols falling from above.
Power Glyph and Power-Ups: If you get winning clusters, a power glyph will be awarded in one of the winning locations. When a power glyph is removed, the next power-up is activated.
Each spin has up to 7 Power-Ups. In the base game, the last Power-Up is always a Gigantic Wild and in the Golden Free Spin Bonus, it's always a Golden Glyph.
The first six power-ups are always either random golden scarabs or any of the 6 patterns of Horus.
Golden Free Spins Bonus: 3 bonus scatters trigger 7 free spins. A golden glyph will be awarded, which is a sticky walking wild that increases in multiplier on every single win. In the bonus feature if you get 3 bonus scatters, you'll get an additional 5 free spins.
Buy Feature: You can buy the free spin bonus.
It's a gamble, but it can be worth your while.
Golden Glyph 2 slot game has plenty to offer any player who enjoys games with a difference. From cluster pays, to exploding symbols, to big multipliers in the free spins.
We love that they've created a series of mobile slots where you just know you'll be opening up something good, and it keeps getting better.
This is a great addition to Quickspin mobile casinos, especially with that huge top win of 26,800x your bet. Is it volatile? Yes. Will you wish Horus could take you away? sometimes. But get some of those Golden Glyph's on the reels, and you'll soon feel like a Pharaoh.
Review by Lucky Mobile Slots, last updated: September 15, 2023 - Rating
The Golden Glyph 2 RTP is 96.09% at all Quickspin casinos.
Golden Glyph 2 is a high variance slot, but unlike most high volatility games you'll find some quick consecutive smaller wins, still with the potential to win big.
Yes, whether you're online or mobile devices then you'll be able to free play this slot in demo mode at most good Quickspin slots sites.
This is a cluster pays slot so you'll need to find 5 or more of the same symbols touching horizontally or vertically to create a winning combination.
