Here we look at one of the most widespread advantage slot machines on casino floors in recent memory. It’s “Golden Egypt” by IGT. In 2018 you’d be hard pressed to find a casino that doesn’t have this machine. It also helps that it is a very popular popular machine & gets a good amount of play from regular gamblers. Of course that means that advantage play opportunities are plentiful. Here’s the skinny on how to identify those opportunities & make money.
Advantage opportunities on Golden Egypt is all about getting the wild reels. Of course you want to know how do you get those wild reels. You get wild reels by collecting coins as you play on each of the corresponding reels. When you collect two coins on a reel it will turn wild for each of the next two spins. Coins show up regularly & this is good for advantage players for a reason which I will explain a little later.
When to play Golden Egypt?
The consensus among most advantage players is that you only play Golden Egypt when there is at least a coin on two of the first three columns. If there are coins on column 4 or 5, so be it. But they generally don’t help unless there are already a few coins on the 1st three columns. The reason being is that this is a machine that pays left to right. A single wild reel on column 5 isn’t very likely to be much of a help to you unless you get really lucky & hit a 5 of a kind. Sometimes you may even find machines where there will be no coins on columns 1-3 but column 5 will already be wild. Skip it.
Make sure that when trying to find advantage play opportunities on Golden Egypt that you search through all betting combinations and denominations. The betting options board may be a simple setup with 5 betting options or a more complex setup where bettors can choose the amount of lines & bet per line. Again go through them all. One of the great things about coins showing up often on Golden Egypt is that it doesn’t take much for playable opportunities to come. You can check a machine, clear it out, leave & minutes later another opportunity could be waiting because someone gave it a few spins & left some coins behind.
All in all, Golden Egypt isn’t the highest paying advantage slot machine around but nonetheless it’s a good machine for many hustlers because of the high frequency of plays.
