Pragmatic Play Begins the Year with a Bang with Mysterious Egypt

Leading iGaming software developer Pragmatic Play is making waves once again, following their recent expansion into the Latin American market. This time, they are in the spotlight for releasing their second new game of the year, Mysterious Egypt.

As the name suggests, this game takes players on a journey back in time to the mystical land of Pharaohs and the Great Pyramid of Giza. And while it may not be a completely new concept, this high-volatility slot with 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines is a great addition to Pragmatic Play’s popular “Book of” series.

Mysterious Egypt: What to Expect

The base game offers plenty of surprises, including special mystery rounds that add an immersive touch to your gaming experience. The symbols are all based on ancient Egyptian artifacts, with lower-paying symbols represented by cards from 9-A while higher-paying symbols include Pyramids, cats, falcons and the Eye of Horus.

Landing five Eye of Horus premium symbols in one round can award you between 75x and 100x your bet. During the base game, a different mystery symbol appears while active icons remain visible above the reels. These symbols can expand vertically to cover every position they land on and trigger payouts based on their corresponding value.

To activate extra spins mode, you’ll need to land three or more queen symbols which serve as both the Scatter and Wild, substituting for all symbols except the expanded ones. During this bonus round, two mystery symbols are randomly chosen and can expand to cover the entire reel for a chance at big wins.

In a statement about the game’s release, Pragmatic Play’s Chief Business Development Officer Yossi Barzely said, “Mysterious Egypt offers players a wealth of modifiers and jackpots, along with endless bonuses and free spins. Our premium selection of slots continues to push boundaries and enhance the gaming experience, making Mysterious Egypt an exciting addition.”

Mysterious Egypt fits perfectly into Pragmatic Play’s diverse portfolio alongside other popular titles like the John Hunter series, Voodoo Magic and Mayan Gods.

Expansion Plans in Latin America

As mentioned earlier, Pragmatic Play has made significant strides into the Latin American market by securing 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 their most beloved games include Wolf Gold and Sweet Bonanza. The company also recently launched their latest live casino offering, Mega Wheels.

According to Victor Arias, Vice President of Latin America at Pragmatic Play, “We are proud to be Bplay’s first content creator. This achievement solidifies our presence in the region, and we look forward to a successful partnership in the future.”

Adding to this sentiment, Javier Samel, Online Gaming Consultant at Boldt, stated: “We are excited to partner with Pragmatic Play and expand our business beyond Argentina into Central and South America.”
