The ancient Egyptians loved their gold and hoarded the stuff like Scrooge McDuck. To them, it represented the sun and life itself—it also looked really cool in a bracelet. In the Ascension: Rise to Riches slot, this precious metal is given pride of place, with golden symbols, a golden grid, and even a shower of gold dust raining on every reel. If you’re one of the countless slot players who can’t get enough of ancient Egypt and all the mystery, intrigue, and opportunity within, then check out Ascension: Rise to Riches.  

What is the Ascension: Rise to Riches Slot?

Ascension: Rise to Riches was created by Old Skool Studios. It features five reels, three rows, 20 paylines, and an eye-catching Egyptian-style theme. It also has a soundtrack that perfectly complements its gilded aesthetic and draws you into the game.  It’s possible to win up to 2,000x on Ascension: Rise to Riches and you can wager anywhere from £0.20 to £120. Just click the icon that depicts the + and – symbol to adjust your wager. Once the reels start spinning, there are a couple of features to look out for, including:

• Epic Strike
• Scatter Pays

 

Ascension: Rise to Riches Features

The Golden Ankh symbols reward the biggest payouts on Ascension: Rise to Riches. There are symbols that depict three, two, and one of these Ankhs, and it’s also possible to trigger payouts with a combination of all three.  The game has a total of 20 paylines and these pay from the left of the reels to the right. You can see exactly where the paylines appear by clicking the icon represented by the three little dots and then choosing the fourth icon that appears on the resulting popup.  The other icons found here determine the game’s speed and settings. There is also one to mute the sound if you prefer to play in silence. As you may have guessed based on these basic features, Ascension: Rise to Riches is influenced by old-school slot machines, and that influence also applies to its two main features:  

Epic Strike

In ancient Egyptian mythology, Osiris was the god of the dead and resurrection. He was also the god of life and vegetation, making him one of the most important figures in the Egyptian underworld. He’s also the most important figure in the Ascension: Rise to Riches slot machine, as he serves as the game’s Scatter symbol This Scatter shows Osiris appearing out of a golden triangle and if it appears at least three times on the reels, it will trigger an instant payout. These symbols don’t need to be in a single payline.  The following payouts are based on a wager of £3:

• 3 Scatters = £3
• 4 Scatters = £15
• 5 Scatters = £45
• 6 Scatters = £120
• 7 Scatters = £300
• 8 Scatters = £1,500
• 9 Scatters = £6,000

 

Bonus Spins

The Bonus Spins feature is activated via the Spins Scatter symbol, which appears on the three middle reels. As with the Osiris Scatter, the Spins Scatter doesn’t need to appear in a single payline and as long as there are 3 of them on the reels, the feature will activate. The feature starts by providing a 1x instant win and then launching a Spin Wheel. Just spin the wheel to determine how many spins you will earn, with up to 30 Bonus Spins available. These spins come with either a 2x or 3x Multiplier, and all of the spins can be retriggered by revealing more Scatters.  

Wild

The Golden Scarab Wild is the third feature of note on the Ascension: Rise to Riches slot machine. It substitutes for all symbols except the Scatters and also triggers its own payouts when at least three of them are matched in a single payline.
