Ancient Secrets Introduction
IGT’s theme banks combine a number of different games with similar themes and bonus features. Games in each bank are also linked to the same progressive jackpot network if a progressive prize is offered.
All of the games in the Ancient Secrets series are linked to a double progressive jackpot network The Maxi Jackpot seeds at $2500 while the Mini Jackpot seeds at $500. The jackpot prizes climb much more quickly than they would in a standalone progressive pokie because several games are feeding into the prize. So, don’t be surprised if you see prizes going for $10 000 and more.
To trigger the jackpot in the Ancient Secrets theme bank, there is quite a unique process. Normally, IGT games pay out the Mini jackpot for a certain combination in the standard game while paying out the Maxi jackpot for the same combination in the free games round. In Ancient Secrets, the jackpot bonus round is triggered by the cryptogram symbol. It is a bonus wheel round, which determines whether the player wins the Maxi Jackpot, Mini Jackpot or a consolation prize.
Loads of Ways to Win
In the Ancient Secrets theme bank, all of the games feature the MultiWay format. This means that there are no paylines on any of the games. Instead, every wager that the player makes triggers all 243 different ways to win. Many players prefer this format over paylines because they have a better chance of winning generous prizes and potentially save money in the long run.
In Ancient Secrets: Egypt, the King Tutankhamun symbol triggers the free spins game. During this round, wrap-around substitutes are triggered. Whenever the wild symbol appears on the reels, it unfolds and turns the symbols above and below into wilds as well. This increase the player’s chances of hitting multiple winning combinations in a single spin. Similar bonus rounds occur in Ancient Secrets: Aztec and Ancient Secrets: China, but they are triggered by different special symbols.
Where to Play
The Ancient Secret theme bank is widely available across Australia. You can find this innovative series of games in pubs, clubs and casinos in Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia.
