Reel Adventures: Exploring Slot Destinations Series: Ancient Egypt

A worthy travel destination has all parts adventure, relaxation, and culture. How cool would it be if you could have all of that without ever leaving your couch? It would be really, reel-y cool.

Reel Adventures is a whimsical series of Cafe Casino online slots that highlight destination themes. Last month players kicked back and relaxed within our Tropical Paradise segment, complete with stunning ocean views. In case you missed it, the sun is still out in Reel Adventures: Tropical Paradise, so you can still check it out. 

For today’s journey, we’re steering the plane toward Africa and landing at the bank of the Nile for a historic look around ancient civilization slots, specifically Egypt. Sure, the Nile doesn’t have an airport and we’re not on real planes, but that’s not important.

The only thing that counts is that we have the key to crack the code on prizes from Egyptian slot games, and we’re going to pass it on to you. Just don’t disturb any ancient mummies and unleash a world-ending curse. We don’t have the proper insurance for that.

Destination 2: Ancient Egypt

There’s hardly a destination, through time or location, as alluring as ancient Egypt. People back then were built different with the physical strength and the mental prowess to construct monumental pyramids that confound us to this day.

The sacred Nile that flows from Lake Victoria, Uganda, to the Mediterranean Sea was a lifeline that made agriculture flourish. Hieroglyphics inspire endless wonder with their complex symbolism, Cleopatra fascinates with her tale of power and romance, and Egyptian mythology captivates with its gods, goddesses, and timeless legends. 

You’ll discover all these wonders and more within these ancient Egyptian slots.

Cleopatra’s Coins

Whenever you talk about Egypt-themed slots, Cleopatra’s name is bound to be dug up. The ancient femme fatal is renowned for her wealth, beauty, and wit when it comes to war, which is what makes Cleopatra slots so popular.

In the Egyptian-themed slot called Cleopatra’s Coins, the Pharaoh’s supreme influence is displayed with the help of the male members of her scandalous love triangle, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. A venomous serpent symbol can slither onto the reels with up to 100 free spins. Gold coins with Cleopatra’s spellbinding face break hearts as your bonus symbol leading to three tiers of bonus rounds. 

Gods of Giza Enhanced

Ancient Egyptian deities like Ra, Horus, Anubis, and Thoth were powerful enough to shake the very foundations of life and death. Little did they know that in this day and age, they would return to earth as the gods of Giza…enhanced. Dun dun dun.

Gods of Giza Enhanced is one of the most memorable historical slot games set within an ancient stone temple thriving with the powerful symbols of the gods. When you land three or more Scatters, you trigger 8 free spins where the reel window rotates 90 degrees a total of four times for each spin, giving you a pharaoh’s fortune of chances to win.

In ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh had a trusted advisor serving as their right-hand man. At Cafe Casino, we think of you as the Pharaoh and your friend of choice as your trusted advisor. Refer a friend to play this game with you, and we’ll descend with a divine intervention to deposit a historical cash bonus into your account.

Coins of Ra

As the god of the sun, Ra was believed to travel across the sky in his solar boat during the day, bringing light and life to the world. At night, he journeyed through the underworld, battling the forces of chaos to ensure the sun would rise again. It’s a tough job, but someone had to do it.

With a classic setup of 3 reels and 3 rows, the Coins of Ra slot features mystical white light flowing like glowing puddles from behind the reels on a cosmic blue-black background, no doubt a reference to Ra’s divine image. A gold coin bearing Ra’s benevolent face is your bonus symbol. Uncovering three triggers a Hold and Win game and the chance to summon a mini, minor, major, or grand fixed jackpot.

Temple of Luxor

The real-life Temple of Luxor sits proudly on the east bank of the Nile River in Luxor, once the vibrant city of Thebes in ancient times. This incredible temple boasts a grand peristyle courtyard, a hypostyle hall with a mesmerizing forest of massive columns, and an inner sanctum that once held the sacred boat of Amun.

Before you book a flight to see it, check out the Temple of Luxor slot first. Two sets of 5×4 slot grids are housed within the famous stone temple columns. Wins are awarded from left to right on the left side, from right to left on the right side, and both ways from within the bonus round. To reach the bonus round you need two or more bonus symbols on either side. Then the screens merge into a 4×11 grid and a sixth reel in the middle becomes entirely Wild. 

Gods of Luxor

In another take on the great city of Luxor, Gods of Luxor invites you on a 3D journey with the gods. You are guided over the desert to a temple, but the entrance is blocked by a 5×3 board of rotating stone symbols.

If you can get past gods like Anubis and Sobek, you may be able to reach the Wheel of the Gods with its seven multipliers. This multiplier wheel may appear after any winning spin. Here, the gods will grant you one spin to reveal a reward that multiplies your latest win.

The Ankh is your scatter, and three award 15 free spins where all your wins are multiplied by 3x. They can be retriggered in this online slot.

A Night With Cleo Hot Drop Jackpots

Coming back to Cleopatra – because with beauty like that, how could you not? – one of the best ancient slots to date is one bearing her beloved name: A Night With Cleo Hot Drop Jackpots.

This mesmerizing game is set against the breathtaking backdrop of the great pyramids on the Nile under a midnight sky studded with twinkling stars. Five reels spin with the ravishing face of Cleopatra as your Wild and various other opulent symbols representing her vast trove of wealth.

Features are abundant in this slot, starting with a free spins round that comes with tripled wins and the chance to retrigger up to 180. Famously, there’s a gamble feature that reveals more to Cleo than they’d show on the PG-rated History Channel. Most importantly, three Hot Drop Jackpots are required to descend from the sky once per hour, once per 24 hours, and once before the Epic jackpot hits a huge dollar value.

If you want, you can trade the Hot Drop Jackpots for a progressive jackpot in the original version of the game, which you can learn all about in the A Night With Cleo slot game review.

Travel Tips and Recommendations: Tips for Exploring Egypt Today

If you’re inspired to pack your bags and head to Egypt IRL, follow these tips to make the most of it. 

Visit the pyramids early morning or late afternoon.

Beat the swarm of tourists at the famous pyramids by visiting either early in the morning before 8:00 AM or in the late afternoon after 4:00 PM. As a bonus, you’ll enjoy better lighting for photos, too.

Plan your museum visits for mid-week.

Another tip to avoid the crowds is to visit one of the multitudes of historical museums mid-week. Take all the time you need in front of the Mask of Tutankhamun reigning in all its glory in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

Luxuriate in a fancy Nile cruise.

Experience Egypt in style by cruising the Nile on a luxury boat. You can book guided tours of ancient sites, gourmet meals, and luxurious accommodations while sailing between Aswan and Luxor.

Get romantic with a felucca ride.

For a more intimate adventure, take a felucca ride in Aswan. These are charming wooden sailboats that peacefully float over the Nile while you soak up its scenic beauty.

Whether or not you’re dreaming of a real trip to Egypt, dive into these historical slot games to immerse yourself in the lore. The online slots capture many elements still present in modern Egypt, but the true treasures of the legendary era can only be uncovered by spinning the reels of these Egypt-themed slots.
