Verdict

Hand of Anubis keeps things dark and quiet: a tall Egyptian-underworld grid framed by two carved Anubis statues, more about atmosphere than fireworks.

It sits at the high end of the volatility scale, so the calm is the point rather than a side effect. Play it if you like Hacksaw's grim art direction and want a moody few minutes at the reels. Skip it if you'd rather spend your demo time on a busier, feature-heavy slot.

Screenshots

The base game grid runs five columns by six rows, with two towering Anubis statues framing the reels and a skull pharaoh mask sitting among the higher-value symbols.

How it plays

The grid runs five reels by six rows, taller than most, with two stone Anubis figures standing guard either side of the reels. Card royals from ten through ace sit at the low end of the paytable, and the higher end brings gold gem-set triangles, coloured Anubis masks and a skull pharaoh mask. The scene stays low-lit and cast in dark stone throughout, keeping the underworld mood constant across the reels rather than brightening for a win. It plays as a still, watchful game more than a busy one.

Who it's for

Hacksaw's darker visual style is the whole draw here, and it will suit players happy picking a demo on looks and theme alone. The tall grid and heavy underworld art make for a moodier sit than most slots on the site, which will appeal to some and feel slow to others.
