Golden Glyph online slot

Golden Glyph Slot is a Cluster Pays Slot designed by Quickspin. This stunning, feature-packed Slot features a 7x7 layout. In addition to tumbling mechanics, there is a Power Wild feature and four magical power-ups: Golden Scarab, Eye of Horus, Blaze of Fire, and a Free Spins Bonus.

It spreads wealth across the grid (4-10 Wilds), while the Eye of Horus uses its magic to remove low-paying symbols from the grid and transforms them into payouts, which the Blaze of Fire then transforms! Look for the Golden Glyph Wild symbol in the Free Spins Bonus. This symbol holds the key to winning BIG. Depending on your luck, you can win 13,000 x your bet!

How to Play Golden Glyph Slot

This is the first time Quickspin has used cluster symbols instead of pay lines to form winning combinations. The tumbling reels feature comes into play when winning clusters are removed from the board, and others fall into place. With the medium variance, bets can start as low as 20 pence or as high as 100 pounds. Players get an above-average RTP of 96.19% and decent payout possibilities.

As for the symbols, four Egyptian hieroglyphs make up the lower end of the paytable and provide values between 0.1x and 18x the stake for clusters of five to fifteen symbols. Tutankhamun, Cleopatra, and Horus are the top three symbols. The latter is the most rewarding for a cluster of 15+ symbols, giving you 250 times your stake. Symbols marked with a "W" are wilds - they substitute for all regular symbols.

Golden Glyph Bonus Features

Tumble Mechanics

As well as the regular game, the Tumble Mechanics feature appears in the Free Spin bonus. Any symbol which forms part of a winning cluster will be removed, and new symbols fall from above to fill in the empty gaps. Any new wins will increase the existing win. As soon as there are no more winning clusters, tumbling ends.

Power Wild

Both the base game as well as the Free Spins Bonus come with the Power Wild feature! After all of the winning symbols are removed from the reels and before the tumble, a Power Wild will land in one of the empty spaces. Power Wilds are awarded only once per tumble. A Power Wild will be evaluated and removed as a Wild, and an additional Power-Up will be used for every Power Wild removed. Power Wilds that have not been used during the Free Spin Bonus Power-Up will become Wilds if activated. There will be no additional Power Wilds awarded during that spin's remaining tumbles.

Power-Up feature

When you manage to get a Power Wild win, the Power-Ups will activate! Four Power-Ups are available in this game: Golden Scarab, Eye of Horus, Blaze of Fire, and the Free Spins Bonus Power-Up. Every spin starts with five power-ups randomly determined by the golden wheel. Free Spins Bonus is always the last Power-Up, with the remaining four Power-Ups awarded randomly (Golden Scarab, Eye of Horus, Blaze of Fire). Power-Ups are charged each time a Power Wild is consumed as part of a win.

Golden Scarab Power-Up

Wilds are spread on the reels by the Golden Scarab! This Power-Up puts 4-10 random Wilds into the game area.

Eye of Horus Power-Up

The Eye of Horus removes low paying symbols! In addition, the Power-Up will cause the reels to tumble and evaluate any wins after removing a random low paying symbol. A removed symbol awards 1/20 of what you have bet in the current round.

Blaze of Fire Power-Up

A Blaze of Fire destroys anything that gets in its way! After being summoned at a random location, this Power-Up will remove all regular symbols in both the row and column. You will receive 1/20 of your current bet for each removed symbol. There will be no effects on Wild, Power Wild, or Golden Glyph Wild symbols from Blaze of Fire.

Free Spins Bonus

The Free Spins Bonus will grant you nine free. The Golden Glyph Wild symbol will appear in a random position during the first free spin. Golden Glyph Wilds are your chance to win big - if you can level them up to 99x, then you can win 13,000x! The Golden Glyph Wild and multiplier will carry over from the previous spin until the Free Spins Bonus is over. Golden Glyph Wilds randomly move to different positions on the reels during each free spin.

The Verdict

Quickspin has successfully blended just the right elements to create its best Egyptian-themed Slot. Their first cluster pay system has worked perfectly, especially with the 7x7 layout. Quickspin has not used a tumble mechanic before - we saw swooping reels in Big Bad Wolf - but Golden Glyph has done it in a much more modern and sophisticated way. Besides its top-tier gameplay, Golden Glyph's design is also noteworthy. Beautiful graphics enhance the enjoyment of the game. The interplay between the extras in Golden Glyph and the chain of events that could unfold is what makes the game so compelling at the end of the day. It's a brilliant concept to include Power Wilds after a win, and the way Power-Ups work together is exciting when it happens. This video slot has a 99x multiplier with wins up to 13,185 times the stake, making it one of Quickspin's best releases for 2019.
