Slot machine details and review Shadow of Luxor
Shadow of Luxor is a slot machine that you can play thanks to Evoplayβs efforts. They created a slot machine with 3 reels, but with 5 possible symbol positions on each one (there are always blank positions between them, so up to 3 visible symbols can be used on each reel). You will get only 5 paylines from it. Theme-wise, itβs inspired by Ancient Egypt.
Every slot machine must be developed by a company that invented, designed and put it into operation. Many players eventually find that they only enjoy playing on machines from specific software provider, so they narrow down their selection by preferred brand.
A high volatility slot. Wins are rare, but can be really big. The game has more pronounced fluctuations and can often go without hitting anything for a long time, suitable for players who like adrenaline, higher risk and work with a larger budget. More about volatility here.
Slot theme and symbols
You will find a lot of other Ancient Egypt-themed games in online casinos. If you load up the slotβs demo, there are a couple of things that stand out, such as the use of 3 reels and the dated graphics (even in 2021, when it was released, slots looked a lot better than this one). It seems to be an intentional choice, as the reels are part of a land-based machine, but with a brick wall background.
Shadow of Luxor theme and symbols
Shadow of Luxor is not the sort of slot thatβs going to take it easy on the player. It has 5 lines on those 3 reels, but there are blank rows between any symbols that may appear, so you get either 2 or 3 symbols from 5 symbol positions. It shows in the low hit rate as well, of 9%, which means that 1 in 11 spins will pay, on average. The high volatility isnβt a surprise, then. Unfortunately, even with the adequate RTP of 95.97%, they made the decision to give it smaller top prizes, so at most you can claim in a single round is 3,096x the stake.

WILD symbol
Itβs going to be easy to spot when wild symbols make an appearance. Their image is that of a pyramid that has a W logo on the side. Used as substitute symbols, wilds make it more likely that winning combinations will form. Itβs also possible to get three wilds on the same payline, and they pay a lot more than regular symbols then (500x the stake for 3 wilds vs 50x for 3 of the best paying regular symbols). Wilds are only used as replacements for regular symbols, not for scatters.
Scatter symbol
As for the scatter symbol, itβs the one with the Eye of Ra. When you get 3 scatters on the reels, you are rewarded with a small prize.
Free Spins
The requirement to trigger 10 free spins in Shadow of Luxor is having 3 scattered Eye of Ra symbols, anywhere on the 3 reels. As scatters are removed from the reels for this feature, there is no way to retrigger it. The big advantage is the 3x multiplier that will apply to all wins obtained in this feature.

Our rating of the game
Shadow of Luxor
Shadow of Luxor is not the type of slot machine that youβd play for its design, theme, risk level, long-term odds, big prizes, or its features. Whatβs left? If you like the classic look and layout that it comes with, then it might work for you. The high volatility doesnβt go that well with the 3,096x jackpot, and the RTP is at 95.97%, which is fine, but not great. Itβs not a must-play slot, by any means, at least not now, more than 5 years after its release.

How do we rate slot machines?
We evaluate slot machines based on multiple criteria, from which we make our final verdict.
It has a free spins feature with a 3x multiplier that will boost all wins obtained inside.
Wild symbols can show up, help you form combinations, and will also pay the most when forming their own.
At 95.97%, the RTP (return to player) is still about average for a slot, though on the lower side compared to others.
A 3-reel setup for an Ancient Egypt theme is not as common, so itβs different than most.
Only 5 types of regular symbols are used, and sometimes these will pay even when mixed.
Cons
Dated graphics, but it seems to be intentional, and may be preferred by players who love the classics.
You canβt form combinations on all 5 paylines at the same time, since not all rows get symbols.
Itβs the same Ancient Egypt-inspired theme you can get anywhere else right now.
Disappointing top prize, worth 3,096x the stake, which is not great when volatility is high.
Highly volatile slot machine, with a low hit rate, so making a profit can be a struggle.
