Pragmatic Play Begins the Year with a Bang with Mysterious Egypt
Famous iGaming software developer Pragmatic Play is making headlines once again, hot on the heels of expanding its presence in the Latin American market. This time, the designers are in the spotlight for introducing their second new game of the year, Mysterious Egypt.
As the title suggests, this game takes players back in time to the captivating land of Pharaohs and the Great Pyramid of Giza. And while it may not be entirely original, this high-volatility, 5-reel 3-row video slot with 10 paylines is a perfect addition to Pragmatic Play’s “Book of” series.
Mysterious Egypt: Exciting Features and Gameplay
The base game offers numerous modifiers and special mystery rounds that enhance the immersive gaming experience. Featuring ancient Egyptian artifacts, the symbols on the reels include 9-A cards while premium symbols include Pyramids, cats, falcons, and the Eye of Horus.
Landing five Eye of Horus symbols in a single round can trigger payouts between 75x and 100x your bet. During base gameplay, a different special mystery symbol appears while active icons remain visible above the reels. These symbols can expand vertically to cover every position they land on and award corresponding payouts.
The extra spins mode is activated by landing three or more queen symbols which also serve as Wilds and Scatters. These symbols can substitute for others except for expanded symbols. During the Bonus Feature, two mystery symbols are chosen at random and can expand to cover the entire round, potentially leading to significant payouts.
Upon release, Pragmatic Play’s Chief Business Development Officer Yossi Barzely stated, “Mysterious Egypt offers exciting features and jackpots and continues to provide players with big wins, endless bonuses, and free spins. Our premium selection of slots constantly innovates and enhances the gaming experience, and Mysterious Egypt is no exception.”
Mysterious Egypt perfectly complements Pragmatic Play’s diverse portfolio as it joins other popular titles such as the John Hunter series, Voodoo Magic, and Mayan Gods.
Expansion Plans in Latin America
As mentioned earlier, Pragmatic Play has made significant strides in the Latin American market by becoming the first operator to secure content-sharing deals with Boldt S.A.’s Bplay brands in Paraguay and Argentina.
The Malta-based software provider is currently the sole iGaming aggregator for these two operators. Some of Pragmatic Play’s most popular games include Wolf Gold and Sweet Bonanza. The company also recently launched their latest live casino experience, Mega Wheels.
According to Victor Arias, Vice President for Latin America at Pragmatic Play, “Being Bplay’s first content creator is a major achievement for our company in this region. We are excited to confirm our position and look forward to a fruitful partnership in the future.”
Javier Samel, an Online Gaming Consultant at Boldt, added, “We are thrilled to partner with Pragmatic Play as this provides us with a great opportunity to expand our business beyond Argentina and into Central and South America.”
