5 Tombs of Fortune

Relax Gaming presents 5 Tombs of Fortune, which is an Egyptian-themed slot built around expanding reels and feature-driven gameplay. The game combines shifting grid mechanics with multiple bonus modes tied to reel-based Powerups. High volatility and a 10,000x maximum win place the focus firmly on its feature potential.

Gameplay features and bonuses

5 Tombs of Fortune runs on a 5×4 grid that can expand up to 5×7, which increases the potential for larger combinations across its 1,024 ways to win system. The game has an RTP of 96.10% and is designed with high volatility. Its maximum win potential offers 10,000x the original stake. Betting options start at €0,20 and extend up to €100,00.

Wild Symbol: The Wild substitutes for all regular symbols when calculating winning combinations. It helps complete paylines and increases the chances of forming payouts, but does not replace special symbols.

Special Symbol and Powerups: Before any base game spin, a Special symbol may appear in a 1×1 position above the reels, and when it lands, it activates a modifier for that spin.

Possible modifiers include adding 1 to 8 extra Wilds to the reels, applying a global multiplier between 2x and 15x, low-paying symbols upgrade to medium-value ones, or reels expansion up to a maximum height of 7 rows. Each modifier connects to one of five reel-based Powerups.

Free Spins Feature: Free Spins are triggered when a Scarab symbol lands on a reel that has an active Powerup. Each reel corresponds to a different Free Spins mode. Triggering any Powerup awards 10 Free Spins with a unique mechanic tied to that specific reel.

• Powerup 1 Wild Free Spins (Reel 1): In case the mechanic is activated from the first reel, this mode awards 10 Free Spins. A random value between 1 and 8 determines how many Wild symbols are added to random positions on every spin. If additional Scarab symbols appear during the feature, the number of added Wilds increases: 2 Scarabs in 1 spin add 2 more Wilds and grant 3 extra spins, while 3 Scarabs increase the Wild count by 3 and award 5 additional spins.
• Powerup 2 Global Multiplier Free Spins (Reel 2): This one is triggered from the second reel, and it grants 10 Free Spins with a starting multiplier between 2x and 15x applied to all wins. Each Scarab that lands increases the multiplier by 1x. 2 Scarabs in a single spin raise it by 2x and award 3 extra spins. 3 Scarabs increase it by 3x and add 5 extra spins.
• Powerup 3 Super Free Spins (Reel 3): Activation on the third reel unlocks 10 Free Spins where all 4 modifiers (extra Wilds, global multiplier, symbol upgrades, and reel expansion) run at the same time. Scarab symbols that appear during this mode enhance their respective effects and may also award additional spins depending on how many land in one spin.
• Powerup 4 Symbol Upgrade Free Spins (Reel 4): A trigger from the fourth reel awards 10 Free Spins. Each Scarab removes the lowest-paying symbol currently available and improves the payout potential. 2 Scarabs remove the 2 lowest symbols and grant 3 extra spins. 3 Scarabs remove 3 low symbols and add 5 spins. The process continues until only medium and high-paying symbols remain.
• Powerup 5 Reel Expansion Free Spins (Reel 5): Activation on the fifth reel begins with 10 Free Spins on a 5×5 grid. Every Scarab symbol expands the reels by 1 additional row, up to a maximum of 7 rows. 2 Scarabs in a single spin immediately expand the grid to its maximum size and award 3 extra spins. 3 Scarabs also reach maximum height and grant 5 additional spins.

Buy Feature: The Buy Feature is available only in the base game and it offers 2 purchase options:

• Direct access to the Free Spins round for 60x the bet.
• Entry to the Super Free Spins for 300x the bet.

Design and Soundtrack

The base game in 5 Tombs of Fortune presents a warm desert backdrop framed by carved stone pillars and statues, with soft orange sands that stretch into the distance. The reels sit inside a temple-like structure, and the symbols combine royal portraits, scarabs, ankhs, falcons, and 10-A card figures in bold, glossy colors. Everything looks clean and symmetrical, with gold trims and smooth animations that keep the screen uncluttered.

During Free Spins, the palette shifts to deep purples and cool blues, which gives the scene a mystical nighttime tone. The soundtrack follows suit, moving from calm, ceremonial notes to a slightly more dramatic rhythm in the bonus round.

Players who enjoy Egyptian-style slots might also appreciate titles such as Egypt Megaways by Red Tiger Gaming and Golden Wheels of Egypt by NetEnt.

The Bottom Line

5 Tombs of Fortune stands out for its reel-based Powerup system, where each column unlocks a distinct Free Spins mode. Extra Wilds, rising multipliers, symbol removals, and grid expansion create clear differences between bonus rounds, and the Super mode combines all effects at once. The expanding layout adds noticeable impact when triggered, especially as it pushes the grid up to 7 rows. With retrigger options and scaling modifiers during Free Spins, most of the game’s potential sits firmly inside its bonus features.
