The Golden Glyph mobile slot will have you wonder why you’re living in modern times when you’re clearly meant to rule the Ancient Pharaohs of old.
You are sitting high on your tower overlooking a golden Egyptian city, which (we have to suppose) is yours to rule.
With a fist of iron, you’ll use whatever is available to you: magical golden scarabs, bombs, help from the gods and even some exploding tumbling wins. Because this Golden Glyph slot is like none of the Quickspin slots you’ve played before.
Play’n GO game studios were one of the first to create and master online grid slots, but since everyone has a version of their own. Now it’s Quickspin’s turn.
Golden Glyph is a 7 by 7 grid slot machine with avalanching reels and cluster pays, where every win triggers a power wild which can trigger any one of 4 bonus features, including free spins.
You will get a lot of wild symbols and a lot of wins, and that’s because this casino game can afford to give you lots of wins because you need a cluster of 8 to 10 symbols to just get your bet back.
It’s a quick win game that gives you plenty of value for money and quick action.
Which is unusual to see for what is, ultimately a low to medium variance slot review, because you would usually be lucky to walk away with maybe 1,000 times your bet.
That said, the way they can afford to do that is by giving you a hail mary of a feature. You need to get 5 wins in a row, with a wild, to just trigger the free spins bonus.
During the free spins, you have a walking wild with a multiplier that increases on every win – a little like the Fat Rabbit slot by Push Gaming.
Then you have to get 99 wins over 9 spins (in reality, you have to have a lot of avalanches and re-triggers) to get a 99x multiplier on the wild, and then you have to get a 15+ symbol win with a Pharaoh.
But it doesn’t matter if it’s difficult. The point is, it’s there. Meanwhile, you get quick wins and more bonus features than most real money slots.

Cluster Wins: 5 or more symbols touching horizontally or vertically will create a win, up to 15+ symbols.
Avalanching Reels: Any symbols that are part of a cluster win will explode, and more symbols will tumble down from above. You then get another chance for another win.
Power Wild: After every cluster and avalanche, you'll be left behind with a power wild. If it's then part of a win (it can replace any other symbol on the reels), you'll trigger a possibility of 4 different power-ups. These are only activated once the avalanching reels stop and no more wins can be found, however, the power-ups themselves can then create more power wilds.
The Power-Ups: Getting a win with a power wild gives you a power-up. Every spin, a different random order of power-ups will be selected, but the 5th and last power-up is always the free spin bonus.
Free Spin Bonus: If you manage to get 5 consecutive wins with a power wild on multiple tumbles, you'll trigger 9 free spin bonus games on this Golden Glyph online slot.
You'll get a golden glyph wild symbol, which randomly moves around the screen for every spin. It acts as a wild, but once it's part of a win, the multiplier on the wild increases by one. This multiplier never resets till the end of the bonus.
We have to applaud Quickspin studios who with this Golden Glyph slot on mobile, have come close to rivalling the grids slots from Play'n GO.
It has all the things with love: lots of cluster of wins and tumbling reels, a good RTP and plenty of random bonus features in the base game and the free spins.
We can't give it 5 stars because unlike slot games like Gemix or the Sweet Alchemy slot game, which tells you the moment you open them that they are easy to win fun to play games, this promised huge wins, but will rarely deliver it.
Still, if you remember that winning more than 100x your bet is rare, this was certainly a beautiful and fun Ancient Egypt slot review to write and play.
