About the slot

Shadow Gods is a 5 reel, 50 payline slot with wagering starting from £1 up to £200 per spin, and it is playable across all devices.The transparent reels are set between what looks like an ornate entrance to a temple with fire pots on either side which sits against a backdrop of the pyramids against a starry sky at night.The symbols are the lower value 10 ten to the Ace royals, a cobra, Cleopatra, a scarab and the Eye of Ra coins.There are 2 wild Symbols, Anubis and Horubis that will appear stacked, and the scatter symbol is the Egyptian mask.

Gameplay

The Horus wild will only appear on the 2nd reel and the Anubis will only appear on the 4^th reel, they also come with a nudge feature which will enable them to be nudged into place to give a full stacked wild reel.Landing 3 -5 of the mask scatter symbols in view on the same spin can reward with from x2-x100 of your wager and will trigger the free spins feature where you can choose from the following:Wild Reels will give you 6 bonus spins with Horubis and Anubis on reels 2 and 4 being sticky wilds.Treasure Spins will award you with 6 bonus spins and any coins that land on the 5^th reel will be locked in position and can also be re-triggered giving you an addition 6 bonus spins.Landing 6 or more of the Eye of Ra coins will activate the Coin feature and you be given 3 re-spins and each coin that lands on the reels will lock into place. If you are lucky enough to fill all of the reels with coins you will win the Grand bonus of x800 of your wager, or if not you will win the total value of the coins.Shadows Gods is an interesting game with some pretty decent features, the graphics and animations are good, but would have liked to have seen the chance of bigger pay-outs. This is a medium variance slot and it has an RTP of around 96%
