The Basic Idea
Fury of Anubis is a video slot by Pragmatic Play built on a 6x5 grid with no traditional paylines. Instead of matching symbols left to right, you need 8 or more of the same symbol landing anywhere on the grid to trigger a win. Land a winning cluster, watch those symbols tumble off the grid, and new ones drop in to potentially extend your streak.
What makes the game interesting is the tumble multiplier. Each consecutive winning tumble doubles the active multiplier, starting at 1x and climbing all the way to 1,024x. Hit enough tumbles in one spin sequence and that multiplier can turn a modest cluster win into something much larger. Free spins kick things up further, launching with a starting multiplier between 8x and 64x depending on how many Anubis scatters you land.

Step by Step: How a Spin Works
- Set your bet size using the coin value or bet selector at the bottom of the screen. The minimum bet is $0.20 per spin in CAD.
- Press the Spin button. All 30 positions on the 6x5 grid fill with symbols simultaneously.
- The game checks for clusters of 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid. If none appear, the spin ends and your bet is lost.
- If a cluster forms, it pays out and those symbols are removed. The tumble multiplier activates, new symbols drop into the empty spaces, and the grid is re-evaluated. Each additional winning tumble doubles the multiplier.
- Once no more clusters form, the spin ends. If bonus features triggered during the sequence, they resolve before the round closes.
The free spins bonus starts when 3 or more Anubis scatter symbols land on the grid in a single spin. Three scatters gives you 10 free spins with a starting multiplier of 8x. Four scatters bumps that to 16x, five to 32x, and landing all six scatters launches the round at 64x. That starting multiplier applies to every win during free spins, and the tumble mechanic still doubles it further with each consecutive winning cascade. The multiplier does not reset between individual free spins, which is where the biggest wins tend to come from.
Symbols, Paytable and Features
The symbol set splits into two tiers. Five gem symbols make up the low-pay group and appear most often on the grid. The premium symbols are scrolls, ankhs, skulls and scarabs. Scarabs sit at the top of the paytable, paying 100x your bet when 12 or more land in a single cluster. The Anubis head is the scatter that triggers free spins. There is no wild symbol in this game, so every win comes from natural clusters of matching symbols. To see exact payouts for each cluster size, tap the paytable or info button inside the game itself.
The tumble multiplier is the core mechanic to understand. It starts at 1x on the first winning cluster of any spin. The second consecutive winning tumble doubles it to 2x, then 4x, 8x, and so on up to a ceiling of 1,024x. A long tumble chain in free spins, where the base multiplier already starts at 8x or higher, is where the game's 10,000x max win potential lives.
Beyond the base game and free spins, the game offers a few optional mechanics worth knowing. The Ante Bet costs 3x your normal stake per spin and increases the chance of triggering the bonus by roughly 10 times. The Bonus Multiplier Gamble lets you risk your free spins starting multiplier against a higher one, up to 256x, before the round begins. The Buy Feature lets you purchase bonus access outright, ranging from 100x your stake for a standard trigger up to 800x for a guaranteed high-multiplier entry, with a 175x lucky draw option in between. Availability of the Buy Feature depends on the operator and your jurisdiction.
Common Controls and Settings
The control panel in Fury of Anubis is straightforward. Here is a quick breakdown of what each setting does and when you'd actually use it.
| Control | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Bet size selector | Sets your total stake per spin, starting at $0.20 CAD | Before every session; adjust to match your bankroll |
| Spin button | Starts a single spin at your current bet | Every round you want to play manually |
| Autoplay | Runs a set number of spins automatically at your chosen bet | When you want hands-off play; set a loss limit before activating |
| Quick/Turbo spin | Speeds up the animation so results appear faster | When you find the default spin speed too slow |
| Paytable / Info | Shows all symbol values, feature rules and RTP information | Before your first real-money spin, and any time you're unsure of a rule |
| Sound settings | Toggles music and sound effects on or off | Whenever the audio becomes distracting or you're playing somewhere quiet |
A Simple Example Session
Say you load up with $20 CAD and set your bet to $0.40 per spin. That gives you 50 spins if nothing hits, which is a reasonable amount of runway for a medium volatility slot. Your first 18 spins are quiet. A few small gem clusters pay back $0.20 or $0.30 here and there, but nothing significant. Your balance sits around $16.50 after those spins. That's normal. Medium volatility games can go cold for stretches like this.
On spin 19, a scarab cluster forms. The tumble mechanic fires twice more after the initial win, doubling the multiplier to 4x by the end of the sequence. The combined payout on that single spin is $3.60 on a $0.40 bet, which is 9x your stake. Not a bonus round, just the base game tumble doing its job. Your balance climbs back to just over $18.
Then on spin 31, three Anubis scatters land and the free spins round opens at an 8x starting multiplier. You get 10 spins. A skull cluster on spin 4 of the bonus triggers two tumbles, pushing the multiplier to 32x for that sequence. The payout on that single tumble chain comes to $5.20. By the time the bonus ends, it's returned $10.80 total on a $0.40 base bet, roughly 27x. Your session balance finishes at $22.40. That's one plausible outcome, not a guarantee. Every spin is independent and results vary widely.
Common Beginner Mistakes
- Betting too high for your bankroll. On a medium volatility slot, dry spells can run 30 or 40 spins without a meaningful win. If your bet size leaves you fewer than 40 spins of runway, you may bust out before the variance evens out.
- Not reading the paytable first. The scatter-pays model here is different from most slots. Players expecting left-to-right paylines get confused when clusters pay and traditional lines don't. Two minutes in the info panel saves a lot of frustration.
- Using Ante Bet without understanding the cost. Ante Bet triples your stake per spin. That's a 200% increase in cost per round. It raises the bonus trigger rate, but it also burns through your balance faster if the bonus doesn't come quickly.
- Buying the bonus without enough funds to absorb variance. The Buy Feature costs up to 800x your bet. A $0.40 bet bonus buy at 800x costs $320. Even a well-funded session can end flat if the bonus pays below average, which happens regularly.
- Chasing losses by raising the bet. Increasing your stake after a losing stretch doesn't improve your odds. Each spin is independent. A bigger bet just means bigger potential losses if the cold run continues.
- Ignoring session limits. It's easy to keep spinning through a losing session hoping for a bonus round. Setting a stop-loss before you start, say $10 of your $20 bankroll, keeps things from spiralling. See the strategy guide for more on setting sensible limits.
