Ancient Secrets

Standard layout with twenty paylines, and the 50 coins max stake BeeFee is known of. As is usual the small, negligible, wins have been done away with in favor of real prizes whenever you hit a combo. The theme is Egyptian, which these days seem to pass for the word Ancient. Though there’s plenty of other related subjects to explore we can forgive this faux pas as all other slot producers are likewise guilty of it. Stacked symbols, scatters, wilds and free spins await the daring adventurer.

Theme

There’s no music to spin to, and the sound effects on offer are the usual ones. The background opens up a view of the desert with some historic characters mixed in. The symbols offer the usual divide, with low-value icons represented with card values running from Jack to Ace. Priests, Egyptian symbols, and daring adventurers form the rest of the cast.

Betting Options and Functions

If you’re familiar with the way BeeFee sets up the bets and paylines you can jump right in and give the slot a spin. If not, here’s a recap: on the left-hand side you have a dial to choose between 5, 10 and 20 paylines. On the right-hand side, there is likewise a dial for the selected bet, running from 0.01 to 2.5 coins per payline. The total stake amounts to 50 coins max.

Symbols need to connect from leftmost reels onwards, with the minimum of three to form a winning combination. The smallest win pays out five times your line bet, with the adventurer paying out up to 1000 times the line bet. Maximum win with maximum bet is therefore 50 000 coins on a single spin.

Features

Scatters appear on reels one, three, and five. Only one scatter can appear per line. If and when you land a scatter on all the reels free spins start. Twelve are awarded initially but more can be re-triggered. The free spins are played with alternative reels. These introduce the stacking wilds and the stacking adventurer symbol into the game.

During a normal game, only one wild can appear per line, but with the free spins, you can get all the reels full of wilds. This is where the main pot can be won. The wilds pay the same amount as the adventurer symbol. Though base game wins are plentiful it’s the free spins where the real action is.

On top of this, the ever-present gamble function can be used on any win. This gives you 50 - 50 chance to double or lose your prize.

Our Take

Ancient Secrets offers medium volatility spinning fun. You’re not gonna win on every spin, but when you do win you can at least afford a few more spins. The big wins are few and far in-between, but leave your pockets full of coins when they do hit. Though the bet level can go as low as 0.05 coins per spin this game is better played with a bit higher stake.
