Temple Of Ausar

The Brisbane-based Eyecon design team delivers a solid slot in the Ancient Egypt-themed Temple of Ausar. A cool, streamlined design combines with the possibility of 225 free spins to offer players an exquisite taste of that Pharaoh life, with all the potential riches that go with it.

Theme

This slot possesses an electrifying sense of the famed wealth and hidden passages of Ancient Egyptian temples. A blue wall, bedecked with hieroglyphics, provides the backdrop for the gold-framed reels. Gaming symbols include the golden eye of Horus, a golden ankh, a bronze cobra decorated with jewels, a radiant scarab beetle, and a pair of scepters. The playing card values ace through nine provide the lower-value symbols. The goddess Isis acts as scatter, while Ausar, the deity whose temple gives this slot its name, acts as wild. As is often the case with Eyecon slots, there’s no background music, only sound effects, leaving gameplay with an eerie, almost haunted feel.

Betting Options and Functions

The Ancient Egyptians are renowned for their superior attention to detail in architecture, and it’s clear that this focus inspired the design team at Eyecon. There are 25 adjustable paylines; bet per line can be set from 0.01–50.00, yielding an overall per-spin betting range of 0.01–12.50 times the betting currency. Autoplay is available for up to 100 spins of the reels at a time, while paytable information and game rules in detail are available in a pop-up menu. In a nice change of pace from standard slot play, higher-value symbols pay out for even two of a kind on a payline, which will give players more low-level wins than usual. At 95.4%, the overall theoretical return to player ratio sits at about the industry standard for high-quality slot games.

Features

There’s no need to wait for special features to be engaged to enjoy bonuses in this game, as the Ausar wild symbol adding a double multiplier to all wins in which it’s involved. A gamble bonus feature is available, during which players can choose to play double-or-nothing on any win. The mini game can be played as many as five times, up to a limit of 16,000.00 times the betting currency.

The appearance of three or more of the Isis scatter symbol on the reels awards 15 free spins to players, during which time all wins receive a triple multiplier. The feature can be retriggered up to 15 times, allowing for the astonishing possibility of 225 consecutive free spins.

Our Take

While Temple of Ausar doesn’t possess any truly unique or ground-breaking features, it remains a very well-built slot that many players will enjoy. Simplicity in design and gameplay are a pleasure when executed this well, and the chance of 225 free spins, however slim, is endlessly appealing.
