Description
Thunderkick returns with the second instalment of the Beat the Beast slot series, the Beat the Beast: Mighty Sphinx Slot. If you had battled the beastly Kraken in the first instalment, you will find the Mighty Sphinx even more exciting to confront.
This slot is set in the deserts of ancient Egypt with lofty sand pyramids gracing the background. Gameplay takes off on a 5×3 grid with 9 Paylines for triggering wins. While 9 Paylines might come short for a game played on 5 reels, triggering the free spins bonus feature would see them expand to a whopping 243 Paylines allowing you to trigger impressive wins of up to 4,444x your stake.
How to play
To battle the mighty Sphinx, you would need to place a stake on the reels. Bet limits start from 0.10 and cap at 100 credits per spin. On the reels are low pay and high pay symbols consisting of Sphinxes, ancient Egyptian relics, and playing cards. The latter are the low pay symbols and would require you landing at least 3 of a kind to trigger a payout.
With the high pay symbols, you would need only 2 of the same symbol type to trigger wins. You will find a scarab beetle, a crook, and a sphinx. The larger, more terrifying sphinx pays the best with 5 on the reels awarding 250x the stake.
