Overview

I ran 1,555 spins in the PG Soft provider demo for Anubis Wrath at $12 per spin. The first thing that registered on load was the Multiplier Reel - five golden tiles sitting above the main grid, one per reel, each already at a value between x3 and x500 before the first spin. That strip stays visible throughout play. When the jackal-headed Anubis warrior symbol lands on a reel, the tile above it activates, and the sum of all activated tiles multiplies the total win for that spin. PG Soft built the tension around that pre-spin display - you can see what the multiplier strip is offering before Anubis decides whether to unlock any of it.

Interface and Mechanics

Anubis Wrath loads into a dark Egyptian temple interior: stone pillars flanking both sides of the frame, warm amber torch glow from off-screen sources, atmospheric haze in the upper portion. The Anubis warrior symbol is the most visually distinctive piece of the regular set - a dark blue jackal-headed face in gold armor and Egyptian headdress, with glowing yellow eyes. It is the top-paying regular symbol - five of a kind pays 50x the bet-unit (4 = 30x, 3 = 20x) - and it doubles as the Multiplier Reel trigger: whichever reel it lands on, the tile above that reel activates.

The reel grid runs 5 wide by 4 tall, framed in ornate dark-gold styling. Below the grid, two Anubis-head statue decorations flank a row of stone tablets. A dark notification banner directly below the tablets shows context messages during play.

How the Multiplier Reel Works

The Multiplier Reel is the defining mechanic. At the start of every spin, each of the five reel positions in the strip above the grid displays a randomized value between x3 and x500. These values are visible before the reels spin - you see what each tile is offering before Anubis decides whether to activate any of them.

Activation: if one or more Anubis symbols land on a reel during a spin, the corresponding tile in the Multiplier Reel activates. All activated multipliers are then summed and applied to the total spin win. One Anubis on one reel: minimum x3 on the total. Two Anubis symbols on separate reels: minimum x6. All five reels with Anubis: the sum of those five tiles, potentially anywhere from x15 to x2,500 in one spin.

The cascade mechanic interacts with this directly. After winning symbols explode and new ones drop in, any cascades that follow still use the same activated multipliers from the original spin - the sum applies to cumulative cascade wins, not just the first step. The in-game rules confirm: "At the end of every spin, if there is 1 or more activated multiplier in the Multiplier Reel, the total win of the spin will be multiplied by the sum of the activated multipliers."

One detail worth noting: the Anubis warrior does double duty - it is the highest-paying regular symbol (50x for five of a kind) and it is also the symbol that switches on the Multiplier Reel. A reel showing Anubis both feeds line wins and activates that reel's multiplier tile.

Free Spins and Feature Buy

Free Spins Feature

Three or more golden scarab Scatter symbols landing anywhere on the five reels triggers the Free Spins Feature. Three scatters: 15 base free spins. Each additional scatter beyond three adds 3 more. The feature can retrigger.

The key mechanical difference in free spins is multiplier accumulation. In the base game, activated multipliers apply to one spin and reset on the next. In free spins, every multiplier that activates adds to a persistent counter displayed at the bottom of the reels. That total carries forward across the entire feature. The in-game rules state: "Any multipliers awarded during any free spin will be added and will remain at the bottom of the reels until the end of the Free Spins Feature." Then for each free spin: "the total win of that spin will be multiplied by the sum of the activated multipliers and the total multiplier at the bottom of the reels."

This is what makes the 10,000x cap reachable. The path there requires both an accumulating multiplier stack across the full feature and a meaningful base win in the same spin. Achieving it demands a specific combination of free spin multiplier convergence and a cascade win large enough to be carried by that stack. It is not a routine outcome.

Feature Buy

Feature Buy is available via the dedicated button on the main screen. The cost is 75x the bet amount - confirmed in-game: the purchase screen shows $450.00 at a $6.00 bet (75 x $6 = $450). At the $12 session bet, Feature Buy costs $900. One operational restriction: Feature Buy is locked at bets above $50. "The Feature Buy button is available for bet amount up to $50.00" is explicit in the rules.

At $0.20 minimum bet, Feature Buy is $15.00. At $1 per spin, $75.00. At $50 (the upper access limit), $3,750 - but the restriction means the in-game button becomes unavailable past that threshold.

My 1,555-Spin Demo Session

I ran 1,555 spins in the PG Soft provider demo at $12 per spin across the full session window.

Results across those 1,555 spins: free spins activated 10 times (1 in 156 spins on average in this run); session high of 201.5x on a single spin ($2,418 at $12 per spin); best bonus round 254.5x ($3,054); hit rate 36% - roughly 1 in 3 spins produced a paying outcome including cascades; longest consecutive dry stretch 14 spins; net result +$6,188.40 on $18,660 wagered.

Observed RTP this session: $24,848.40 returned on $18,660 wagered = 133.16%. Expected loss at published 96.75% RTP over 1,555 spins at $12 was $606. Ten bonus rounds, with the top two paying 254.5x and 151.2x respectively, accounts for the substantial positive swing.

Big wins trigger a distinct celebration overlay: the base game track stops and the Anubis deity - a full humanoid figure, blue-skinned, jackal-headed, holding a crook against a purple starfield with golden Egyptian arch framing - takes over the screen with the win total in large gold numerals, then hands back to the reels. It fired on the larger bonus and top-spin payouts across the session.

The 14-spin longest dry run is shorter than expected for a high-volatility title - the 1,024-ways structure keeps finding partial clusters more often than fixed paylines do, which supports the 36% hit rate even at high volatility.

Session Progression

Test limitations: this session used demo mode with virtual credits at $12 per spin. A 1,555-spin window is not enough to project long-run return with any confidence - ten free spins activations produced a positive net, but a different set of rounds would not. The 10,000x cap scenario did not land in this session; no single spin exceeded 201.5x. The 133.16% observed RTP reflects the bonus variance in this specific run, not a reliable long-run figure. The in-game rules page we captured lists only the 15 free spins plus 3 per extra Scatter and does not state a retrigger; several observed rounds ran longer than that formula alone predicts (18-29 free spins), which points to retriggers or additional Scatters not shown on that page.

Pros and Cons

How Anubis Wrath Compares

Anubis Wrath vs Gates of Olympus

Both use multipliers and cascades in free spins. In Gates of Olympus, multiplier symbols land on the grid during a spin and apply to all wins in that specific cascade step. In Anubis Wrath, multipliers live in a separate strip above the grid and are activated by a specific symbol (Anubis) landing - the sum of all activated tiles then applies to the total spin win including all cascade steps combined. In Gates of Olympus free spins, the multiplier counter resets between spins. In Anubis Wrath free spins, activated multipliers accumulate across the full feature. The accumulating free spins mechanic has no direct equivalent in Gates of Olympus's standard structure.

Anubis Wrath vs Hacksaw Chaos Crew 2

Chaos Crew 2 is the closest structural parallel among widely available titles: per-reel multipliers activating in a free spins phase. The distinction is in how those multipliers calculate. Chaos Crew 2 multipliers apply per-reel to wins on that reel. Anubis Wrath sums all activated tiles across all five reels and applies the total to the entire spin win. Summing gives a more consistent floor - every Anubis landing contributes at least x3 - but the ceiling per single activation is lower than a product approach. Anubis Wrath also activates the Multiplier Reel in every base game spin, not only inside a feature phase.
