SlotMatrix, the world’s largest casino content aggregator, invites players to step into the shadowed tombs of ancient Egypt with Shadow Summoner Egypt, an atmospheric slot adventure filled with mystical power and great win potential.

This striking new release is the second title in the Shadow Summoner series, with players tasked with awakening the plagues of Egypt through four magical tomes: the Tome of Locusts, Blood, Sacrifice and Firestorm.

Every tome unleashes a unique feature and transforms the reel in a distinct way, from spreading wilds and explosive symbol upgrades to powerful multipliers that can reach up to 100x. Collecting Golden Scarabs upgrades the tomes into multipliers, adding even greater depth and potential to each spin.

The game’s dual bonus rounds, Sun Free Spins and Moon Free Spins, invite players to gaze into the Eyes of Ra and choose their destiny, with semi-persistent multipliers that can build up to significant wins.

Exclusively available through SlotMatrix, Shadow Summoner Egypt is enhanced by EveryMatrix’s proprietary gamification tools, including free spins and leaderboards, and can be seamlessly integrated with EngageSuite, the all-in-one player loyalty solution.

Carl Gatt Baldacchino, Head of Account Management, SlotMatrix, said: “Shadow Summoner Egypt builds beautifully on the foundations laid by the previous title in this series.

“We’ve created a world where every spin feels meaningful thanks to the evolving tomes, growing multipliers, and dual bonus paths, making this a premium addition to our exclusive portfolio and a great continuation of a series with huge long-term potential.”

Following the release of standout seasonal titles such as Hot Turkey and Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition, the launch of Esqueleto Explosivo Feliz Navidead signifies the supplier’s commitment to creating bespoke, holiday-themed content that drives engagement around global celebrations.

Engineered to feel familiar yet fresh, the skulls are decked with holly and the streets lined with gifts in the 5×5 cluster pays slot, brought to life by the iconic mariachi band, which has replaced Latin American-inspired rancheras for Christmas jingles.

Symbols from winning combinations explode to leave behind wilds or exploding wilds for the following tumble, doubling the Mucho Multiplier up to a maximum of 1,024x. During the bonus round, triggered by three scatters, exploding wilds are collected, with every third awarding three extra spins and removing the lowest base multiplier, unwrapping 7,500x win potential.

Esqueleto Explosivo Feliz Navidead elevates a fan-favourite with festive flair, underscoring Thunderkick’s dedication to meeting its partners’ requests and delivering timely, culturally resonant products.

Mike Collins, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: “Esqueleto Explosivo Feliz Navidead represents another evolution of the game brand, designed specifically for maximum appeal throughout the holidays.

“We strive to support operators with custom-built content, and by blending one of our most successful IPs with Christmas-themed audiovisual elements, we have given the franchise a new lease of life and produced a slot that is sure to stand out this festive season.”
