Spinomenal launches 3 Fortune Mummies Hold & Hit slot
New Egyptian-themed title adds four Special Bonus symbols and a Grand Jackpot capped at x3,000 total bet.
Spinomenal has launched 3 Fortune Mummies, a new Hold & Hit slot set in an Egyptian tomb environment. The game includes a Wild symbol and a Bonus Game triggered by six or more qualifying symbols landing in a single spin.
In the base game, a “gold-peaked pyramid” acts as the Wild and substitutes for any symbol except Bonus, Boost, Collect, Multi and Jackpot symbols. Spinomenal said three to five Wilds on a winning line pay between x0.5 and x10, with 3-4 Wilds paying only when followed by a Bonus or Special Bonus symbol.
The title’s core mechanic is built around four Special Bonus symbols: Boost, Multi, Collect and Mystery. According to Spinomenal, Boost selects a random value of x2, x3, x4, x5, x7 or x10 of the player’s bet, adds it to all symbols on the reels and retains that value; Multi selects a random multiplier of x2, x3 or x5 and applies it to all symbols; Collect takes the values from all Bonus symbols on the reels; and Mystery is active only in the Bonus Game and can transform into Boost, Multi, Collect or Jackpot.
A Bonus Blast Feature can add extra Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols to the reels, the company said. When the Bonus Game triggers, the qualifying symbols lock in place and three bonus spins begin; new symbols can reset the counter back to three.
During the Bonus Game, prizes can land in empty spots ranging from x1 to x10 multipliers of the total bet, alongside a Mini Jackpot (x20), Minor Jackpot (x50) or Major Jackpot (x150). Filling the grid awards the Grand Jackpot, capped at x3,000 the total bet, and the feature ends after three consecutive spins without a new symbol or when the maximum x3,000 multiplier is reached.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “3 Fortune Mummies takes the best of Hold & Hit gameplay and wraps it in the majesty of ancient Egypt. The four Special Bonus symbols keep every Bonus Game feeling unpredictable and rewarding, and a Grand Jackpot of x3,000 means the stakes are always high, this is a title that will keep players coming back to unearth its riches.”
