Pragmatic Play has expanded its slot portfolio with Fury of Anubis, a new Egyptian-themed release built around a progressive multiplier system and tumbling reels that can deliver maximum wins of 10,000 times the stake.
The game, announced June 25, positions itself within the saturated ancient Egypt category through mechanics designed around consecutive winning combinations rather than traditional payline structures. Players face a 6×5 grid where matching eight or more symbols anywhere triggers instant cash prizes, with the tumbling wins mechanic removing successful symbols to allow new ones to cascade into place.
The central mechanic revolves around a multiplier that doubles with every consecutive tumble, climbing from an initial value to a maximum of 1,024x before resetting when a spin produces no wins. This progressive element stands as the primary driver of the title’s maximum payout potential.
Free Spins Feature With Gamble Mechanic
Landing between three and six scatter symbols activates the bonus round, awarding 10 free spins alongside a starting multiplier that scales based on the number of scatters collected. The entry multiplier ranges from 8x for three scatters up to 64x for a full six-scatter trigger.
Before the free spins begin, players encounter a gamble option that allows them to risk their entry for the chance to double the awarded multiplier. Successfully gambling can push the starting bonus multiplier to as high as 256x, though the feature carries the inherent risk of losing the bonus round entirely if the gamble fails.
During the free spins themselves, the multiplier operates under the same doubling principle as the base game but begins from the elevated starting position rather than the baseline value used in regular play.
Ante Bets and Buy Options in Regulated Markets
In jurisdictions where regulations permit, Fury of Anubis offers multiple purchase paths and ante bet configurations. These optional mechanics allow players to modify the starting multiplier value in the base game, potentially reaching 1,024x from the first spin, or to remove the multiplier ceiling entirely.
Additional buy features include direct access to the free spins round with guaranteed minimum multiplier values, bypassing the standard scatter-collection requirement. The availability of these options depends on the regulatory framework governing each market where the game launches.
Addition to Multi-Vertical Portfolio
Pragmatic Play has built a catalog spanning slots, live casino products, and other verticals, all accessible through a single integration point for operators. The company holds licenses from the UK Gambling Commission, Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner, and Malta Gaming Authority, among other regulatory bodies.
The provider released Fury of Anubis alongside recent titles including Jelly Express, Fortune of Olympus, and Sweet Rush Bonanza, maintaining a release schedule that targets multiple themes and mechanic variations across its slot offerings.
Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, noted that the Egyptian theme continues to draw player interest globally. “Fury of Anubis brings a fresh perspective through its escalating multiplier mechanic and engaging free spins feature,” she stated, emphasizing the combination of tumbling wins with multiplier potential as the game’s defining characteristics.
Egyptian Theme in Online Slots
Ancient Egypt remains one of the most frequently revisited settings in slot development, with providers regularly releasing titles featuring pyramids, pharaohs, and Egyptian deities. The theme’s enduring popularity has led to hundreds of variations over the past two decades, each attempting to differentiate through feature sets rather than aesthetic alone.
Anubis, the jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in Egyptian mythology, appears regularly as a character in gambling products. The deity’s visual iconography translates readily to slot graphics, making it a common choice for developers working within the theme.
For Pragmatic Play, the challenge lies in distinguishing Fury of Anubis within both its own catalog and the broader market. The company has previously released multiple Egyptian-themed slots, making mechanical innovation rather than thematic novelty the primary differentiator.
The 10,000x maximum win potential places the game in the upper range of volatility compared to many titles in Pragmatic Play’s portfolio, though it falls short of the theoretical maximums offered by some competitors in the high-volatility segment. The doubling multiplier system creates the mathematical framework for these larger payouts, with the maximum 1,024x multiplier requiring ten consecutive winning tumbles in the base game when starting from 1x.
The game launched across Pragmatic Play’s distribution network, which covers operators in multiple regulated markets. Availability varies by jurisdiction based on local licensing requirements and the operational status of individual casino platforms carrying the provider’s content.
