The developer NextGen Gaming created the Egypt-themed slot game A While On The Nile. The game is set in ancient Egypt and uses symbols of Cleopatra, a pharaoh and Egyptian artefacts. The mood of the game is cheerful, and the symbols are drawn in a cute and funny style. The music of the game is in tune with the theme, and the sound effects of the game remind of the lively sounds that the slot machines in Las Vegas make when you win money. The game offers plenty of special features to be triggered, which make the slot machine entertaining. You will surely have a good time playing this game!
The wild symbol
The symbol with the Pharaoh is the multiplying wild symbol. He can appear stacked on reels 2, 3 and 4 only, and he replaces all other symbols to complete winning combinations, but it does not replace the jewel and the scarab symbol that trigger other special features. When the Superbet is active he will also multiply winnings according to the chosen Superbet.
Free spins
The green jewel is the scatter symbol. It can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, and when you manage to get 3 symbols anywhere on the reels you win 5 free spins. During these random symbols and entire stacks can turn into wild symbols. You can also win additional free spins.
The Scarab bonus feature
The scarab beetle triggers the bonus feature when you get it 3 times anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5. Then a Pick Me feature is started and you have to click on the beetles to win prizes until you reveal 'Collect', which ends the feature.
The Superbet
The Superbet is an additional bet that you can select, and you get the chance of receiving a multiplier for winnings achieved with the wild symbol. You select the Superbet on the bar at the right hand side next to the reels. With each level you increase the Superbet Multiplier by 2, and it ranges from x2 to x10. Keep in mind that the Superbet increases your wager. With each level you have to wager more coins. The x2 Superbet costs an additional 50 coins, and the x10 Superbet an additional 300 coins.
The Gamble feature
After each winning spin you can put it back into play with a gamble feature. In this you have to select either a card colour for a 50% change of winning and a doubled win if you are right, or a card suit for a 25% change of winning and a quadrupled win if you guess right. You can gamble your winnings up to five times in a row. When you want to finish before that, click on Collect. Remember, that you lose your winnings if you guess incorrectly.
How to play
The slot game A While On The Nile from NextGen Gaming has 5 reels and 50 paylines. The coin values for the slot start at 0.01 and end at 0.50 €/$/£ per line. Without the Superbet active, the wagers start at 0.50 €/$/£ per spin and end at 25 €/$/£ per game. With the Superbet, the wagers can go up to 175 €/$/£. The highest paying symbol is Cleopatra, and she awards you with 1000 coins when you get her 5 times on a payline. With Superbet level x10 it would be 10.000 coins. The game also features a gamble option and automatic play.
