Summary:
- Reflex Gaming releases Anubis 2 DoubleMax slot
- Betting range from $/€0.20 – $/€100
- Max win of 5,000x
Slot creators apparently have a passion for Anubis, the mysterious jackal-headed god from ancient Egyptian mythology mostly associated with the themes of death and rebirth. Reflex Gaming, the 2004-founded omni-channel supplier of games and gambling machines, is clearly on board with this particular interest.
After releasing “Secret of Anubis DoubleMax” in 2023, they’re back with a new title: “Anubis II DoubleMax“.
Just don’t expect just a rehash of the original, as this one switches things up in a big way, from the core gameplay to how the payouts work.
From a visual standpoint, the new game carries on the clean Reflex Gaming signature, cleverly mixing shiny and retro parts into the same 5×3 grid with 20 pay lines.
The backdrop is a sunlit Egyptian temple scene, with pillars covered in hieroglyphs framing the reels. While not a visual game-changer, it gets the job done, especially with the help of an atmospheric soundtrack that perfectly fits the theme.
Players can land wins both left-to-right and right-to-left. The RTP is on the lower side at 94%, and the volatility is high, which means you should expect some dry spells between bigger hits.
Bets range from 20 cents to $/€100, and there’s a Golden Bet option, too, which adds 25% to your stake in exchange for a better shot at triggering the main feature.
The symbols are a mix of classic and thematic, with J through A for the low pays, followed by scarabs, pharaohs, Cleopatra, and, of course, Anubis himself as premiums.
Players who hit five royals are netted 0.5 to 1x the bet, while the high-paying symbols can bring in 1.5 to 10x.
Wild symbols don’t appear during regular spins. However, they can show up for the bonus round, where they carry the same value as Anubis and sub in for other symbols.
Special Features
The main highlight of the game is the Anubis Feature, which can randomly trigger on a losing spin, giving the reels a second chance by reshuffling them to create a win.
If that shuffle hits, the game keeps going, with each win doubling the multiplier that can climb all the way up to a jaw-dropping x2,048.
At the beginning of the Anubis feature, up to six wild or super wild positions are added to random spots on the multiplier trail.
Provided the trail reaches a position that will continue one of these wilds or super wilds, they are automatically added to a random reel prior to the following shuffle.
Super wilds will only show up during the Anubis feature in the form of three-position high wild symbols.
If waiting is not your thing, you can go straight to the action with a Bonus Buy for 50x your stake.
All in all, Anubis II doesn’t play it safe; rather, it breaks the sequel mold and does its own thing. It’s bold, unpredictable, and very Reflex Gaming.
