Maze Of Osiris

These cascading and disappearing symbol slots have gained popularity in the last few years, probably thanks to similar systems being employed in a lot of popular mobile games. Relax Gaming has combined the system here with a larger than normal playfield, a theme from ancient Egypt, and with excellent production values. The game feels and plays like a modern slot, and has enough unique methods going on for it to entice a spin or two from any gamer.

Theme

I have no idea what the maze refers to here, beyond the bonus game that is. The theme itself comes with beautiful graphics and a colour scale that fits together seamlessly. The audio effects and music are very entertaining and slightly pompous. The game itself uses some sort of cavern system as the background, and this comes alive with animations as you collect different bonuses. All the symbols fit the theme very well.

Betting Options and Functions

The game offers five reels, each with six symbol positions. This means that the forty fixed paylines all fit into the space provided. The minimum bet is 0.40 coins per spin, with the maximum being 80 coins per spin. This slot uses the disappearing symbol method, which means that every time a group of symbols take part in a winning combination they disappear and new ones drop to their place.

Variance seems to be between medium and high. This means that you can score wins quite often, but you are not likely to hit the sweet points of the avalanche that would empty the whole reel of symbols. Big wins are far and wide in between. The possible prizes range from 5 to 1500 times your line bet. Most often it's the small wins that show up.

Features

The avalanche system is not the only special feature here, though it is the one you will run into more often than the others. The wild functions as per normal, and also pays out the largest win in the game.

The mystery symbol only appears on the first spin, and in completely random amounts. After the symbols land, the mystery mask cracks away, revealing matching symbols in all the positions it occupies.

The maze opens up when you have three to five scatters on the screen. Three scatters launches the bronze maze, four launches the silver maze, and five symbols reveal the golden maze. The maze itself is an actual mini-game, where you get to explore the underground treasures. Your goal is to pick up different symbols and to seek out the treasure room. But beware, there is a mummy on the lose and he might just catch you before you get to the prizes.

Our Take

This game has, hands down, one of the best animations and graphics you could expect from any slot. The variance is spot on, the game is interesting and fresh enough, and even the theme manages to surprise from time to time. Play it here or in one of our suggested casinos!
