About Word of Thoth
Word of Thoth is played across 6 reels with 4096 winning ways. RTP is set at an average 96.12% and highly volatile, so expect to see top prizes of 7,384x the total bet. The slot is available to play across all devices with bets ranging from 20p up to £100 per spin.
The design and theme are shrouded with a darkened atmosphere and draws their inspiration from the ancient city of Khem where ancient deity Thoth has a human body and an Ibis head. The action takes place in what looks like an ancient tomb or temple. God-like statues stand on either side with the reels set on stone blocks. Symbols include hieroglyphic-style royals, Eye of Horus, a star, ankh cross, and an amulet.
Thoth himself is the most lucrative, land six on the reels this pays 25x the total bet.
Gameplay
The wild can substitute all regular symbols and also land on all six reels. The emerald scatter triggers the bonus feature in the game.
The cascading mechanic is used in Word of Thoth. When you land a winning combination, the symbols involved fall away and are replaced by new symbols. If another winning combo lands on the next spin another cascade triggers and so on until no more wins occur.
Now, you can enter the free spins feature one of two ways. 3 or more emerald scatters landing on the reels or after a string of 5 or more successful cascades for 10 free games. Each scatter or successful cascade after the initial 5 awards additional free spins. The number of cascades you win is visible in a meter, top left of the game area.
A string of successful cascades ignites the meter and between 1 and 5 free spins and additional multiplier boosts of 3x, 5x, or 10x are awarded. This really helps in creating some pretty decent payouts.
Conclusion
It seems the Egyptian theme is still a firm favourite among avid slot players as Word of Thoth is another example of this genre. High-definition graphics coupled with an exciting mix of features are a great addition to Yggdrasil’s portfolio. Although volatility is high the most you can achieve is 7,384x the bet.
