Ankh of Anubis: Awakening Slot by Play'n GO

576 payways on a diamond-shaped grid - three positions on the outer reels, four on the middle three. Wins pay left to right across adjacent matches, and only the highest combination per symbol counts. The layout stayed identical from the 2019 original, but the sequel swapped High volatility for Medium and added the Anubis Re-Spin on top of the existing random wild mechanic.

Anubis drops 4 to 8 wilds onto the grid at random during any spin, base game or bonus. No trigger condition, just a random injection. The Re-Spin fires separately - when an Ankh scatter and a wild both appear on the same spin without forming a winning combination, wilds lock and start expanding vertically. They spread one position up and down per respin, filling their reel over successive spins. Once a reel goes fully wild, that wild gets stripped on the next respin. Three respins maximum per activation. It only activates on non-winning spins, so the expanding wilds are a correction mechanism for dead positions rather than a win amplifier.

Free spins come in batches of 10, 15, or 20 depending on scatter count, with retriggers adding 3 to 5 extra spins. Inside the bonus, every Ankh that lands feeds a collection meter. Five collected Ankhs trigger a wild injection across the grid, then the meter resets and starts filling again. Both the random Anubis wilds and the Re-Spin stay active throughout, so the collection injections layer on top of whatever wilds are already hitting. Ankh symbols won't appear during a respin sequence, which means collection progress pauses until the respins resolve.

Low-pay symbols run 10 through Ace at 0.10x to 0.80x for five of a kind. Four Egyptian artifact symbols - winged scarab, scepter, scales, purple scarab beetle - pay between 1.50x and 10x. The Anubis Wild tops everything at 25x for a full line. The whole thing has a cyberpunk-meets-pharaoh look that sits apart from the usual ancient temple palette, and there's no buy bonus or ante bet to shortcut the trigger.
