Golden Glyph Pokie

Glyphs are elemental symbols developed by ancient people to write down information and transmit important messages. Some glyph inscriptions point at treasures of great Pharaohs hidden in the desert. The pokie machine is a chance to crack the ancient glyph code and find the riches. To break the code, players first have to place a bet of NZ$0.20 to NZ$100 per spin, a good range making the game affordable for Kiwi players on a budget and appealing for many high rollers. Clusters are made of glyphs, or non-feature icons of exceptional beauty. There are seven regular symbols which pay when they create a cluster. A cluster is made of at least five icons of a kind and can count over 15 icons. Clusters pay between x0.10 and x250 the stake (NZ$25,000 at the max bet) when the slot machine is played for real money. To make regular icons pay more, there are special bonus symbols including Wilds, Power Wilds, 5 Power-Ups and Golden Glyph wilds. Clusters are formed inside a 7×7 playfield with a little semicircle attachment to the left-hand side. This attachment hosts feature symbols, or Power-Ups which do a lot of good to players when a sequence of events triggers any of them.

The online casino pokie uses the Tumble mechanics that turns a winning spin into a set of free respins running as long as the player lands a win. Any win in the base game or during free spins triggers the tumbling sequence: it removes a winning cluster and brings new random icons to the reels. This may also produce new clusters that will also pay out, disappear and make way for new icons, whether winning or not. Round after round, the feature continues and generates a win which is then paid at the end of a sequence. This bonus feature is operational in the base game and during free spins.

The power wild symbol looks like a golden ring with blue shine inside. In terms of effects, it is actually a wild symbol capable of substituting for any non-feature icon in a cluster and having the power to activate bonus symbols (Power-Ups) nesting on the semicircle attachment on the left side of the reels (as said above). After any win, the power wild spawns in a random cell emptied by tumbling inside a winning cluster; if the triggering spin produces two or more clusters, only one power wild spawns. If that power wild takes part in a new cluster, that cluster pays out and the wild triggers one of Power-Ups and disappears. If it does not become part of a cluster, it stays on the reels and simply goes away in the next spin.

Power-Ups nest on the semicircle attached to the left side of the slot machine reels. The semicircle rotates each spin and re-arranges Power-Ups including Blaze of Fire, Eye of Horus, Golden Scarab and Free Spins Bonus icons. Any wild win activates a randomly selected Power-Up; a tumbling sequence which follows the win may trigger them one by one and thus augment fun and increase the payout. The Blaze of Fire Power-Up hits a random position on the reels and blasts away all regular icons in the row and reel it has landed on. Every blasted icon pays a little prize of 1/20 the stake, thus the blast may earn up to NZ$60 at max. The Blaze of Fire never blasts away feature symbols like power wilds and Golden Glyph wilds. The Eye of Horus targets regular icons with the lowest payout. When it appears, it selects a random regular icon and removes all occurrences of that selected icon from the reels. While doing so, it pays 1/20 the stake for every removed icon and triggers a tumble. The Golden Scarab brings between 4 and 10 wild symbols and places them in random positions on the reels. These wild symbols substitute for any regular icon. When spawned by the Scarab, wilds may take part in clusters, generate a win and trigger a tumble sequence.

A Free Spin bonus is probably the best of all Power-Ups. It triggers nine free spins and brings the Golden Glyph wild onto the reels. During the nine initial free spins, the Golden Glyph Wild hits a random position on every spin. It substitutes for any regular icon in a cluster; it is not removed from the reels either by taking part in a cluster or by triggering a tumbling sequence. The Golden Glyph wild comes with a win multiplier applicable to all cluster wins the wild takes part in. The starting value of a win multiplier is x1 and it adds 1 with every spin. Chances are to build the win multiplier up to x99 and hit the top prize of x13,000 the stake. It looks like a decent prize worth playing the pokie for real money. The slot machine helps players promote the win multiplier up to x99 by awarding 3 extra free spins every time a Free Spins Bonus re-activates.
