Anaki Skywalkers Slot Review

Long jump might seem like a cool sport. You run, jump, and fall on your ass in the sand. Done deal. Except thatā€™s not exactly the full story. Some of these athletes have racked up pretty awful injuries. šŸ˜³

Jovan van Vuuren, a South African athlete, fractured his pelvis šŸ„. Belgian decathlete Thomas van der Plaetsen fell head-first into the long jump pit during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. šŸ¤•

Another thing that can have consequences is jumping to conclusions. Luckily, my assumptions didnā€™t have any bearing on the reality of Anaki Skywalkers slot šŸŽ° from Popiplay, and the game has a couple of surprises waiting for you.

Gameplay

Screw the whole ā€œOoh, look at the designā€ thing I usually open with, thereā€™s something far more spectacular in this game and it needs to be highlighted immediately.

Iā€™m talking about the volatility rate being low, yet the max multiplier is 5,000x and the potential payout isā€¦ wait for itā€¦ $420,000! Whaaat??!! Thatā€™s freakin insane! The RTPRTP stands for ā€œReturn to Player.ā€ The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

is 96.96%
, and there are 15 paylines. Iā€™m literally speechless.

But back to the gameā€™s design and I have to say Iā€™m surprised. Studios often want to piggyback off movies and have to get inventive with their titles and designs to sidestep any legal repercussions.

In my addled mind, Anaki Skywalkers slot was a creative reference to Star Wars, but the gameā€™s theme is actually Ancient Egypt. What gives?

According to the studio, the game is based on an ancient Sumerian myth about powerful figures from a planet known as Nibiru. Gold was essential to their atmosphere so the Anunnaki came to Earth to enslave humans and mine this precious metal. Howā€™s that for a plot twist?

We have Wild symbols in this game ā€“ theyā€™re pyramid/spaceship things ā€“ which replace all non-Scatter symbols. Scatters take the form of steps leading up to a portal. Cool.

Features

FREE SPINS:

Land 3 or more Scatters on the grid during the base game and youā€™ll be awarded 10 Free Spins.

Yeah, so this round offers nothing special; no multipliers or anything. You literally get 10 spins ā€“ which, admittedly, you can re-trigger ā€“ and thatā€™s it.

GAMBLE FEATURE:

Score a win in the base game and you can use the Gamble featureThis feature allows you to gamble your current winnings. It usually takes the form of guessing what color and/or suit a facedown card will reveal itself to be. A correct guess on the color pays 2x, while a correct guess of the color and suit pays 4x your bet.. Itā€™s the usual fare: guess the correct color of a face-down card to double your winnings and the correct suit to win 4x. The only selling point here is that thereā€™s no limit to how many times you can gamble.

Performance

I tested this bad boy out on multiple browsers and devices with no issues.

Maximum Win

Here are those other-worldly stats, in case you missed them earlier: betting ranges from $0.15 to $84. Combine the latter with the 5,000x max multiplier for a payday worth a staggering $420,000.

Conclusion

I did some research ā€“ coz thatā€™s how I roll ā€“ and apparently the whole Nibiru/Sumerian mythology thing isnā€™t entirely accurate. It appears to be a modern interpretation by the writer Zecharia Sitchin, rather than a factual thing. Not that this detracts from our game.

What will take away from it ā€“ for some players at least ā€“ is the lack of features, and itā€™s dearth (see what I did there, Star Wars fans?) of money-making potential.

You literally only have Free Spins (with no extra oomph) and a Gamble featureThis feature allows you to gamble your current winnings. It usually takes the form of guessing what color and/or suit a facedown card will reveal itself to be. A correct guess on the color pays 2x, while a correct guess of the color and suit pays 4x your bet. ā€“ which is where you can hopefully make some moolah, as thereā€™s no limit to how many times you can play (the only limit is losing, of course).
