King of Giza: Mega Cash Collect & Link Slot by Playtech

The temple hall behind the reels is torch-lit stone, hieroglyph columns climbing into shadow, and out in daylight the pyramids of Giza sit baking in the desert sun. A young pharaoh in a blue-and-gold nemes headdress stands guard at the left edge, arms crossed. He's the Wild, filling in for everything except the coins and the Cash Collect disc. Card royals and Egyptian icons - scarab, ankh, eye of Horus, Anubis - carry the line pays, but those are almost beside the point. This game is about coins.

Gold coins land holding cash values, blue adder coins show +3 or +5. Whenever a Cash Collect symbol drops on reel 1 or reel 5, it sweeps up every coin on the board and pays them all at once, with the adder coins folding their bonuses into the total. Land one on both outer reels and each of them collects the screen. On a non-winning spin, reel 5 can nudge a Cash Collect into view, which keeps the collect alive more often than the symbol's frequency alone would suggest. A red LINK coin turning up next to a Cash Collect opens Collect & Link, a hold-and-win round of three respins where every fresh coin locks and resets the counter back to three. Cover all the positions with coins there and the Grand pays out.

The Free Games are what earn this the "Mega" label, and where it separates from the plainer Cash Collect & Link titles in the suite. Free Games coins each carry a spin count, and the round opens on a taller expanding grid with extra rows stacked above the standard five reels, most of them locked at the start. A Key coin paired with a Cash Collect peels one lock away, unsealing the board from the bottom up. Two of those upper rows have x2 and x5 multipliers built into them, so any coin landing there gets multiplied before it's collected, and the very top row only takes Diamond coins. Three power-up coins drive the round. Cash Spreader scatters random coins across the unlocked reels. Sticky Cash freezes where it lands and doubles its own value each time it's collected, climbing from x1 up to x8 before flipping into a Diamond. Random Coin sits for three spins, changing into a fresh coin or a Cash Collect on each one. And any Cash Collect that shows up in the expanded area stays sticky for three spins as well.

A Buy Feature sits on the left rail for anyone who'd rather not wait on a LINK coin or a run of Free Games symbols to appear. The four jackpots run across the top - Mini, Minor, Major and Grand at 500x - and they land when a Diamond coin meets a Cash Collect, picked at random rather than earned by any count. That same Diamond has two doors: the top free-games row that only holds it, or filling the reels back in Collect & Link, which hands the Grand over directly.
