Ancient Egyptian Slot Game Themes

It's impossible to tell how many different themes you can find spread across the world of online slots. However, we can all agree there are plenty. Some of those themes crop up way more often than others, too.

We can certainly include the ancient Egyptian theme in that category. Many ancient civilizations supply a lot of inspiration for slot games, but Egypt has more appeal than most. Let's look at where that appeal comes from and how it translates into a superb slot theme.

Steeped in mystery and drama

The ancient Egyptians lived around five thousand years ago. That is almost inconceivable to us today, and yet we can still see many structures from that age. The Pyramids are most famous among them, but we also have the Sphinx, the burial chambers, the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, and many other archaeological sites to visit today.

We've learned plenty about the kings and queens who lived then, most famously Cleopatra and Tutankhamun. These larger-than-life characters most often appear in slot games and are instantly recognizable when they do.

All of which adds up to a superb selection of features at the disposal of anyone creating a captivating slot game.

The theme works well for simple and complex slots alike

We all like different types of slot games, with everything from the simplest design to the most involved. We've seen comical takes on the theme, such as the one seen in A While on the Nile. Bigger games include Anubis Wild Megaways.

Meanwhile, we've got the famous book theme - a theme within a theme here - with the scatter and wild rolled into one icon, usually in the guise of a book. Book of Cleopatra is one such example.

At the other end of the scale, we have Cleopatra Plus. This game is based on the famous queen and includes a map taking you to various parts of ancient Egypt. Different gods and followers feature throughout, giving you a complex and engaging game to set you up for a longer period of play.

There is plenty to inspire some bonus rounds and features

This is best seen in that Cleopatra Plus title we mentioned above. This has multiple bonus features, with the usual wilds and scatters doing their part. Best of all we have a bonus map taking you from Alexandria to the Nile River Valley and beyond, finally reaching the famous Pyramids themselves.

You've also got various characters from ancient Egypt, including Bastet, Ra, Horus, and Osiris. Throwing in some mystical Egyptian gods adds another level to any slot you might play.

How many ancient Egyptian slots have you tried?

You can see how this theme has captured the imaginations of so many people. From deities to rulers and pyramids to temples, slot game developers certainly have plenty of inspiration to draw from.

To that end, we doubt this theme will become any less popular anytime soon. If you haven't tried any yet - or it has been a while since you have - make sure you check out the range of games online today.
