Fury of Anubis

Fury of Anubis Slot Review

Medium volatility and a 10,000x ceiling rarely share the same math sheet. Pragmatic Play built the Fury of Anubis slot that way regardless. Six reels, five rows, not a single payline, and one mechanic doing almost all of the heavy lifting: a win multiplier that doubles every time the grid pays again. A gold statue of Anubis leans over the reels with his staff while burning tombs flicker behind him. Ancient Egypt is well-trodden ground for this studio, and Luxor Of Cleopatra sits in the same corner of the catalogue, but Fury of Anubis takes the darker route.

Theme, Graphics & Sound

The desert is gone. Pragmatic Play swapped the usual sunlit dunes for a subterranean chamber cut from black stone, lit from below by something orange and unpleasant. Carved pillars shimmer at the edges of the frame. Anubis stands beside the grid, jackal head in profile, and he animates just enough to feel like he is watching rather than posing. The jewelled relics and sacred scarabs on the reels pop hard against that dark background, which matters more than it sounds: on a grid this wide with wins landing anywhere, you need to read the whole panel at a glance.

The best touch is saved for the bonus. Before free spins begin, a heart is weighed against the feather of Ma'at, straight out of the Book of the Dead. If the heart is judged unworthy, the round is gone. It is a piece of set dressing that carries real mechanical weight, which puts it a cut above most history slots that treat mythology as wallpaper.

Audio is percussion-led and restrained until a cascade chain starts running, at which point the drums pile up with each drop. Nothing here will annoy you on the hundredth spin.

RTP, Volatility & Multiplier Math

The build on this page returns 97.53%, which is worth knowing before you set a stake. Volatility sits mid-range, so the grid pays often in small amounts and the big numbers come from chains rather than single hits. That combination is unusual. Most slots reaching for five figures do it with brutal variance and long dry runs.

The multiplier is what squares the circle. Every paid spin starts at x1 and doubles after each winning cascade: x2, x4, x8, and onward to a hard cap of x1,024. The top rung takes ten consecutive winning drops inside one spin, which is rare but not theoretical. Run the arithmetic on the far end and the design makes sense. The best symbol pays 100x for twelve or more, so a 10,000x result needs a paying grid plus a multiplier already deep into the ladder, not one impossible hit. The chain does the work, not the paytable.

Volatility this moderate also means the ladder collapses more often than you would like. When tumbles stop, the multiplier drops back to where it started. Pragmatic Play has been mining this ground for years, and John Hunter and the Tomb of the Scarab Queen demo gives you a same-studio reference point from a very different era of its Egyptian output.

Symbols & Payouts

Nine paying symbols and no wilds at all. That absence matters more than it looks on paper, because without wilds every win has to be assembled from eight or more genuine matches, and the cascade is the only thing stitching sequences together.

Five coloured gems occupy the bottom of the ladder and pay in fractions until you land double figures of them. The four Egyptian icons above them are where a round actually turns. The golden scarab is the outlier, returning twenty times what the same count of the cheapest gem pays. Everything between those two poles is compressed, which is deliberate. It keeps the base game ticking without ever making a single drop feel decisive.

Scarabs, ankhs and scrolls are this studio's standard Egyptian vocabulary by now, and Might of Ra draws on the same well. What separates the paytables is not the iconography. It is how much of the payout has been handed over to the multiplier, and here it is most of it.

Fury of Anubis Bonus Features

Free Spins

Land three, four, five or six scatters and you get ten free spins. The scatter count sets your starting multiplier at x8, x16, x32 or x64 respectively. Inside the round the multiplier still doubles on each cascade up to the same cap, but the reset behaves differently. At the end of each spin the value falls back to your starting figure rather than to x1. That single rule is why the round is worth far more than ten base-game spins. Three or more scatters during the bonus refill the round.

Free Spins Gamble

Before the round begins you are offered a choice: take the multiplier you earned or gamble it. Win and the starting value doubles, up to a ceiling of x256. Lose and the entire bonus disappears. Most gamble features risk a single spin's worth of value. This one risks all ten spins and pays back across all ten too, because the starting multiplier is the floor for every spin in the round. Turning x32 into x64 lifts the whole feature, not one drop. It is the sharpest decision in the game and the reason that Ma'at scales screen has any tension at all.

Bonus Buy & Special Bets

Five buys and three special bet options sit behind the coin menu. The scatter-count buys run from 100x the stake for the three-scatter trigger up to 800x for the six-scatter version with the highest starting multiplier. A lucky draw at 175x hands you a random scatter count and a random starting value, which is the gambler's option among the buys. Anubis joins a long list of deities this studio has put on a grid, Gears of Horus included, and the pattern holds: strong art, one escalating mechanic, a priced menu for people who do not want to wait.

How to Play

Open the stacked coin button to reach the bet menu, set your stake with the plus and minus keys, and spin. Autoplay takes a spin count. The three-bar menu holds sound, battery saver and the spin-button lock. The i button opens rules, paytable and feature explanations, and it earns a read here, because neither the multiplier ladder nor the gamble is obvious from the reels alone.

Everything sits where you would expect it on a Pragmatic Play release, so if you have played Rise of Pyramids or anything else from the studio recently, nothing needs learning. Set the stake first, then decide whether you are playing the base game or saving toward a buy. Those are two different sessions and mixing them is how bankrolls disappear.

Worth the Spin

The art is better than the mechanic deserves, and the mechanic is better than the art suggests. What makes this one hold up is the free spins gamble: a real decision with real cost, in a genre that mostly automates them away. The return on this page is generous by the studio's standards. Run the BetFury demo for a few rounds before you touch the gamble screen, then decide whether the weighing of the heart is a bet you want.
