Mask of Amun is an Egyptian-themed slot from Fortune Factory Studio distributed by Games Global. Amun is not the best known of the Egyptian Gods since all he can control is the air.
This seemed a pretty insubstantial thing until the priests remembered that nothing could live without it. As soon as this realisation struck, Amun was given an upgrade and combined with the Sun God Ra to become Amun-Ra.
The game is played on a 6x4 grid that offers a bewildering 4096 ways to win. The game is highly volatile and has a betting range from 0.20 to 50.
It seems they had playing cards in Ancient Egypt as the low paying symbols are card ranks 9 to Ace. These have a highest payout of 1 x or 1.5 x the bet for six.
Higher-paying symbols are an Ankh, a scarab, Bastet the cat goddess, the bird-headed god Horus, and the Mask of Amun. The Mask of Amun is the most valuable of the regular symbols and will pay 5 x the bet for a combination of six. It also has a tendency to land in stacks, which helps in creating wins.
The Wild symbol depicts a romanticised Egyptian landscape complete with pyramids and palm trees. This will substitute for all regular symbols but not other special symbols and can land anywhere except reel one during the base game. It will only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 during the Free Spins.
The Scatter is a bird with the word "Bonus" written across it. Landing three Scatters will trigger the Free Spins Selection, where you choose between Free Spins or the Gold Blitz feature. The Scatter also gives its own payouts for landing three or more.
The Golden bar with the blue strip is a cash symbol. These can land anywhere at any time during the base game. The blue bar disappears to reveal a cash value. But you can only collect these if you activate the Collect Feature.
The Jackpot symbol is very similar to the Cash symbol, but instead of a cash value, it has the name of one of the three special prizes, Minor, Major, and Mega. These pay as follows; Minor pays 25 x, Major 250 x, and Mega 2500 x the stake.
A star with the Eye of Horus in the middle is the Collect symbol . This symbol can land only on reels 1 and 6 in the base game and the Gold Blitz, and automatically triggers the Collect feature when it does.
Free Spins Selection
Once you land three Scatters during the base game, you’ll have a decision to make; do you go for the Free Spins or the enticingly named Gold Blitz Spins? Here’s what your choices are:
If you choose the Free Spins, landing two more Scatters will get you an extra five spins. Three or more award the same amount of spins as in the base game. During the Free Spins, all Wilds come with a multiplier of either 2 x, 3 x, or 5 x, which is applied to any win they help form. If more than one Wild is involved in the win, all Wild multipliers will be applied.
Collect Feature
The Eye of Horus Collect symbol can only land on reels 1 or 6, but as soon as it does, the Collect Feature is activated. All Cash and Special Prize symbols on the reels are collected, and payouts are awarded accordingly. If two Collect symbols hit at the same time, all prizes are collected twice.
Gold Blitz
Gold Blitz rounds may be short, but you're guaranteed a win on every spin! The reels will feature only Cash or Special Prize symbols, with blank positions in between. The Collect symbol is guaranteed to appear on reel one to help you scoop up all these juicy bonuses. But it can also still turn up on reel six, so you have the chance to double your winnings.
