The Golden Cryptex is a 5-reel, 3-payline slot, playable across desktop and mobile devices, and accepting bets in the range 0.10-£60 per spin. To secure a win, you need to line up at least 3 matching symbols on reel 1. The symbols you will land are represented by low-value Royals, as well as 7s, bells, stars, and a horseshoe.
The available features are not easy to grasp, but let’s start one by one.
When you load the game, you will see five symbols above the main reel set, which stand for the Cryptex code. Left off the main reel set, there is a Golden Pointer. Land 5 Aces on the Golden Pointer row to get10 free spins. If you land 3 or 4 Aces, the Second Chance feature may come into play and give you a re-spin so that you have a chance to land the missing Ace(s)
Bonus Game
Before the bonus game commences, the Golden Pointer Aces are replaced by the lowest paying premium symbol. To secure a win, you need to land the lowest paying premium symbols anywhere on the reels. If you crack the code, you are awarded 3 free spins and the Cryptex code is upgraded to the next best paying premium symbol.
Bottom line
The Golden Cryptex is definitely different from the repetitive slots available at the casinos right now. We are curious if it would retain players’ interest for long.
