SANDS OF MYSTERY FREE SLOT REVIEW
The Sands of Mystery slot created by Konami plays out on a 5 x 3-reel grid and comes with 30 paylines. When players launch the game, they are virtually teleported to the sandy deserts of Egypt. Players get the chance to become archaeologists in search of long-lost and buried Egyptian treasures in this fun game which has a sort of IGT Cleopatra and Aristocrat Queen of the Nile slots vibe.
GAME LAYOUT
The background graphics employed by Konami in this slot brilliantly blend with the title as they depict a vast sandy desert. Konami opted for gold frames in demarcating the reel grid. The playing area is wholly covered in a white theme vibe.

SYMBOLS
Sands of Mystery reel symbols include the Queen, the pharaoh statue, the eye of Horus, a sphinx, and poker symbols.
BONUSES
- Wild: The symbol which possesses wild powers comes in the form of the pyramid.
- Scatter: The symbol which acts as the scatter is the scarab.
- Action Stacked Symbols: During the gaming session before each spin, all reels contain a random number of adjacent positions which are replaced by the same instance of regular paytable symbols except for the wild and scatter.
- Strike Zone: The middle three reels are collectively known as the special reel area. Each wild that lands on the special reel area automatically transforms into 2x wild symbols. This in essence means when the 2x wild symbols substitute and feature in a win line, the payout for that win line is doubled. In the event that multiple wilds feature in the same win line, the payout is multiplied by the product of the wild multipliers.
- Fade Away Feature: The Fade Away Feature randomly triggers after any winning spin. Each time low-value symbols (poker icons) land on the reels during the fade-away feature, they are eliminated and replaced by medium or high-paying symbols. Landing two stacked 2x wilds on the special reel area will transform the wild into a 3x wild. Three stacked 3x wilds landing on the special reel area transforms into a 4x wild. Eliminations occur until all low-value symbols are replaced from the reels. Multiple multiplier wilds featuring in the same win line will multiply each other first before the product is then applied to the payout.
- Free Game Feature: Three, four or five scatters landing simultaneously on the reels help trigger the free spins round and allows the player to win 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively. Some of the most impressive attributes of the feature is that it can be retriggered and the fade away feature triggers more frequently.
