Golden Tomb Guardians: Anubis Wild, Ankh x3 and Respins
Made by Mancala, Golden Tomb Guardians is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot that pays across 20 lines. Its centrepiece is a respins round set off by six scarab coins, where each reel gets a collector of its own and five jackpots are up for grabs.
How the grid pays
Combinations count from left to right and start at 3 matching symbols, with 4 or 5 paying more. When one line holds several combinations, only the biggest counts, yet separate lines that win at the same moment are added together.
From the top of the paytable down:
The gold scarab with red wings;
The Eye of Horus in gold and purple;
The gold ring with a blue gem;
The emerald-and-gold urn with a cobra coiled around it;
Finally the A, K, Q and J cards.
The WILD symbol shows Anubis, the jackal-headed god, under a golden headdress. It replaces any regular symbol, and a line of wilds pays at the scarab's level.
Five jackpots watched over by Anubis
The setting is a dim temple where Anubis statues seated on thrones flank red reels decorated with hieroglyphs. Above the logo sits the jackpot board, topped by FORTUNE and followed by GRAND, MAJOR, MINOR and MINI.
GRAND, MAJOR, MINOR and MINI coins may drop onto any position during the respins. After a collector has taken one of them, that jackpot is free to show up again. FORTUNE works differently, as explained further down.
Two routes into the respins
Route one is simply spinning the base game. Each time scarab coins land, a random feature may select some of them and double their value with a x2 multiplier. Gather six of these coins and the Respins Bonus Game opens.
Route two is buying it. The star-marked BUY BONUS button starts the round at once from the base game; it is priced at 50 stakes and includes 3 respins. Either way, the bonus is played at the stake of the spin that launched it.

During the respins
When the round begins, every scarab coin gathered so far finally shows its amount, and the x2 feature now runs on each respin across a random number of coins.
A collector watches over the top of each reel, present only in this round. As soon as a reel is packed with scarab coins or jackpot symbols, the collector absorbs them, clears the grid of them, puts their value into the overall win and lights up. With all collectors lit, the FORTUNE jackpot is secured and paid out when the respins end.
The ankh coin turns up only in this round and joins the multiplier collector. If it is full as the bonus finishes, the round's total win is tripled.
Playing
From the slot games section, most titles, this one included, can be launched for free without staking anything: a chance to watch the collectors at work before moving to real money.
The overall stake is fixed before the reels spin and stays put for the round. Autoplay takes a number of rounds, a loss limit and a single-win limit, and halts as soon as one is reached. A speed setting and the high-quality graphics option round off the controls.

Coins and jackpots explained
Why do the scarab coins in Golden Tomb Guardians show no amount?
In the base game they carry no visible value. According to the rules, an amount is shown and paid only when the random feature triggers on that coin.
Can two coins of the same jackpot sit on the grid together?
No. During the respins, each jackpot type can appear on the grid only once at a time.
