Golden Scrolls (Slotmill) Slot Demo & Review

If you cannot get enough of Ancient Egypt-themed slots, you’re about to find out about another you can power up at your favourite online casinos. Today, we review Slotmill’s Golden Scrolls slot, a 6-reel, 5-row game with 20-paylines, 95.20% RTP, and a 20,000x the stake top prize.

Slotmill describes the volatility of Golden Scrolls as ‘Very High’, and I certainly got the same feeling when taking it for two or three dozen spins. It is a high-risk, high-reward slot deserving of its place alongside the many other high volatility slots currently proving popular at online casinos. There is more than just high variance to look forward to, however. This slot has features ranging from a trademarked auto-play feature to expanding wilds with multipliers up to 6x and two free spins bonus rounds.

While the theme is about as unimaginable as it gets, Golden Scrolls will surprise you as much as it did me. Manage to trigger the Super Free Spins bonus, and you will quickly see why. Why not find out why this slot looks set to become one of Slotmill’s best releases by powering up the Golden Scrolls slot demo below?

Golden Scrolls Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Ancient Egypt has always been a popular theme for video slots. You know the score by now; these slots often revolve around tombs, books, scrolls, ancient relics, pyramids, and Egyptian symbols depicting the likes of the Scarab, Horus, Ankh, and Anubis. The slot scene is awash with popular titles offering a similar vibe. I’m very much into them myself, with the legendary Book of Dead video slot from Play’n Go and the entire John Hunter series from Pragmatic Play almost always near the top of my playlist.

Next up on our Ancient Egyptian adventure, it is time to unearth the symbols and payouts you will encounter as you spin away on Golden Scrolls. The Horus, Anubis, and Bastet theme-related symbols offer the more lucrative payouts of 20x, 15x, and 14x for a 5-symbol combination, respectively. Next up are the Eye of Providence, Ankh, and Eye of Horus symbols with 12x, 10x, and 7x payouts. The Ace with 4.5x and the King, Queen, and Jack each paying 4x round up the regular symbol payouts. I’ll get into the wild symbols in more detail in the next section, but for now, just note any mix of the wild symbols pays 20x the stake when five combine to create a winning combination.

Golden Scrolls meets the needs of most players by offering a betting range of between €0.20 and €80 per spin. You can play manually or use Slotmill’s intuitive Burst Mode autoplay feature that gets through an impressive two game rounds per second. You can set this to stop once one of the free spins rounds is triggered. The spins are not displayed on the screen and are, instead, hidden behind a graphical interface. Essentially, the RNG just belts out the results without wasting time spinning the reels.


Golden Scrolls Slot Base Game

The action takes place on a 6×5 reel format that contains 20 fixed paylines. You need a minimum of three matching symbols across one of those paylines, starting from the leftmost reel, to create a winning combination.


Wild Symbols

The good old wild symbol is always a welcome treat, but on Golden Scrolls, you get three different types, not just one or two. There is the standard wild symbol that does what wild symbols usually do – substitute for the regular paying symbols. Next is the Expanding Wild Symbol, which expands downwards whenever it lands. For each row it expands to, a multiplier increases by 1x up to a maximum of 6x. All wins created with the help of the expanding wild have the multiplier value applied to their standard payouts. The Golden Expanding Wild symbol is the most exciting of the three as it expands to fill its reel and always has a 6x multiplier.


Golden Scrolls Slot Bonus Features

Now for the exciting part of any slot review, the bonus features. Prepare yourself, as Golden Scrolls will surprise you as it did me. There are two free spins features, plus you have four buy bonus options if you’re one of the less patient among us.


Free Spins Feature

You trigger eight free spins if three bonus symbols land anywhere in view. During this feature, there is a higher chance to land the three aforementioned wild symbols. Plus, you earn an additional free spin each time the +1 Free Spin symbol lands during the free spins round. You might land a Super Bonus symbol during the free spins feature if you’re lucky enough. It upgrades the free spins to Super Bonus free spins, and you receive two more spins on your counter.


Super Free Spins Feature

Without a doubt, the Super Free Spins bonus is the one to aim (hope/pray) for, as all wild symbols that land are of the Golden Expanding Wild kind. To trigger this feature, you must land one super bonus symbol and two regular bonus symbols on a single spin in the base game. Again, you can earn additional free spins from the +1 Free Spin symbol.


Fast Track Bonus Buy

Golden Scrolls caters to high-risk and high-reward players by offering a Fast Track Bonus Buy feature. You can choose from four options. You can buy the Super Free Spins bonus for 400x your stake or the regular Free Spins Bonus for 100x. Alternatively, you can opt for five wilds on your next spin for 60x or three wilds for 20x. The RTPs for these bonuses through the Fast Track are 96.33%, 96.32%, 96.22%, and 96.15%, respectively.


Pros

  • Exciting bonus features.
  • Super-fast autoplay feature.

Cons

  • Not the best RTP at just 95.20%.

Golden Scrolls Slot Review Final Thoughts

I had a great time testing out the Golden Scrolls slot from Slotmill. I’ll admit this developer is not usually one I look out for. However, I will now, as Golden Scrolls offers the sort of feature-packed action I look for in an online slot.
