Pragmatic Play Begins the Year with a Bang with Mysterious Egypt
Renowned iGaming software developer Pragmatic Play is once again in the spotlight, following their recent expansion into the Latin American market. This time, they are making headlines with the release of their newest game of the year: Mysterious Egypt.
True to its name, this title takes players back in time to the mysterious land of Pharaohs and the Great Pyramid of Giza. While not entirely unique, this high-volatility slot features 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines – making it a perfect addition to Pragmatic Play’s popular “Book of” series.
Uncovering Secrets in Mysterious Egypt
The base game offers an array of modifiers, including special mystery rounds that enhance gameplay. With symbols inspired by ancient Egyptian artifacts, players can expect to see classic card icons such as 9-A as well as premium symbols like Pyramids, cats, falcons and the Eye of Horus.
If you’re lucky enough to land five Eye of Horus symbols in a single round, you could win between 75x and 100x your bet. The base game also features a unique mystery symbol that appears randomly while active symbols remain visible above the reels. These symbols can expand vertically to cover all positions on their respective reels and trigger corresponding payouts.
The excitement doesn’t stop there – landing three or more queen symbols (which also act as Scatters and Wilds) will trigger the extra spins mode. During this feature, two mystery symbols are chosen at random and expand throughout the entire round, giving players a chance at significant payouts.
In a statement, Pragmatic Play’s Chief Business Development Officer Yossi Barzely said, “Mysterious Egypt offers endless bonuses and free spins, making it a thrilling addition to our premium range of slots. We are dedicated to innovation and enhancing the gaming experience – and Mysterious Egypt is no exception.”
Mysterious Egypt joins Pragmatic Play’s diverse portfolio of popular games such as the John Hunter series, Voodoo Magic and Mayan Gods.
Expanding into Latin America
As previously mentioned, Pragmatic Play has made significant strides in the Latin American market by securing content-sharing deals with Boldt S.A.’s Bplay brands in Paraguay and Argentina.
As the only iGaming aggregator for these two operators, some of Pragmatic Play’s top titles include Wolf Gold and Sweet Bonanza. The company also recently launched their latest live casino experience – Mega Wheels.
According to Victor Arias, Vice President for Latin America at Pragmatic Play, “Being the first content creator for Bplay is a major achievement for us in the LatAm market. We are confident in our position in this region and look forward to further success through this partnership.”
Javier Samel, an Online Gaming Consultant at Boldt, added: “We are excited to partner with Pragmatic Play as this gives us the opportunity to expand our business beyond Argentina and into Central and South America.”
