King Tut's Tomb Slot by Habanero

The Tutankhamun gold death-mask is the Wild and the entire point of the base game. When it lands on any reel, it doesn't sit as a single tile - it expands vertically to cover all three positions on that reel, locking the column into substitute mode for that spin. On a 5x3 board with 25 fixed paylines, a full-reel Wild stack on the middle reel completes payline reads across all five rows of the grid in one event, which is where most of the base-game payouts concentrate. The Wild substitutes for every paying symbol except the Anubis Scatter.

Anubis sits as the trigger symbol. The jackal-headed deity wears a SCATTER stamp directly on his portrait so there's no ambiguity about which icon does what. Three or more Anubis landings anywhere on the reels open the free games round, and the round itself runs with a flat multiplier applied to every payline hit during the bonus. There's no tier escalation for 4 or 5 scatters here, and no retrigger from additional scatters during the round - it's a fixed-allocation free games structure consistent with Habanero's 2015 catalog era.

The cabinet sits in front of a hieroglyph-carved sandstone wall lit by yellow torchlight, with the title stamped in carved letters under a winged-sun and cobra ornament. The base of the reels rests on a vaulted Egyptian arch with painted relief work. The high pays beyond Tut himself include a winged scarab beetle clutching a red solar disc, a coiled hooded cobra, and an ankh wreathed in a bronze serpent. The card royals run in bold beveled gold typography across colored backgrounds (red K, green J, purple Q, blue 9), which is the standard Oxford-style display Habanero used across its mid-2010s Egyptian theme releases. There's a Gamble feature on every paid win - a red-or-black card double-up - and no Buy menu or Super Bet, both consistent with pre-2018 builds.

Two random progressive jackpots sit overhead, the Grand and the Minor, both fed from the cross-game pool and both dropping on any paid spin without a symbol requirement. The Grand running total displays in EUR in the headline frame above the wordmark, and the Minor floats nearby at a smaller running figure. The companion title in Habanero's catalog is Treasure Tomb, released three months later in November 2015 with the same Egyptian palette and a similar low-vol math profile, so the audio assets between the two share filenames. If you want a denser Anubis-themed mechanic, Tomb of Nefertiti from Nolimit City uses xWays expansion on a higher-volatility chassis.
