Fury of Anubis is Pragmatic Play's 2026 take on ancient Egypt, built around a tumbling 6x5 grid where a single multiplier climbs with every consecutive win in a spin sequence, doubling up to a maximum of 1,024x before resetting. It's a mid-volatility game with a 10,000x ceiling — less punishing to sit through than Pragmatic's highest-volatility Egyptian titles, but still capable of a big single-spin result once the multiplier gets rolling.

The Story
Pragmatic Play frames Fury of Anubis around the jackal-headed god of the afterlife standing guard over a tomb complex, weighing the souls of those who disturb it. The studio's own announcement leans on the idea of Anubis's judgement scale as the connective thread between the base game and the gamble feature, rather than building out a longer narrative — this is a mood-and-mechanic release more than a story-driven one.
Theme, Gameplay & Symbols
The reels sit inside a torch-lit temple interior, with rows of jackal-headed Anubis statues flanking the grid and a towering, armoured Anubis figure watching from the side panel. It's a dark, weathered stone-and-gold palette rather than anything bright or playful — skull motifs, ankh symbols and hieroglyph-carved pillars set an adult, faintly horror-tinged tone that keeps the theme well clear of anything a younger audience would find appealing.
Symbols run from gem-based low-pays (green, blue, purple and red gems) up through scarab beetles, an Ankh scroll, and skull-emblem high-pays, playing out on a 6-reel, 5-row grid using a "Pay Anywhere" system — 8 or more matching symbols landing anywhere on the grid pay out, rather than needing to sit on fixed paylines or adjacent reels.
Presentation & Sound
The temple backdrop stays fixed and slightly out of focus behind the grid, keeping visual attention on the multiplier ladder that runs across the top of the screen and the gem symbols tumbling through it. Pragmatic Play's presentation here favours clarity over spectacle — the multiplier display is large, legible, and updates immediately after every cascade, which matters for a mechanic that lives or dies on the player being able to track how high it's climbed mid-sequence.
How to Play
- Set your stake using the bet selector. Pragmatic Play lists a bet range of £0.20 to £240 per spin for Fury of Anubis (rising to £720 with the optional Ante Bet active), though UK-licensed operators cap actual stakes at £5 per spin for players aged 25 and over, and £2 per spin for 18–24-year-olds, regardless of the game's own maximum.
- Press spin. Landing 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid triggers a win, and winning symbols then clear to let new ones tumble in.
- Watch the multiplier ladder above the grid: every consecutive winning tumble in the same spin sequence doubles the active multiplier, up to a cap of 1,024x, before it resets to x1 at the start of the next spin.
- Landing 3 to 6 scatter symbols triggers the bonus round: 10 free spins with a starting multiplier of 8x, 16x, 32x or 64x depending on how many scatters landed, which also resets before each individual free spin rather than carrying across the whole round.
- Before the bonus round begins, an optional gamble screen lets you risk the round for a chance to double the starting multiplier, up to a maximum of 256x — a coin-flip style feature, not a strategy for improving your odds.
Features & Mechanics
The escalating multiplier is the core of Fury of Anubis: it starts at x1 on every spin and doubles with each consecutive tumble within that spin, capping at 1,024x. Because it resets between spins rather than persisting, big multiplier values depend on stringing several tumbles together in one sequence rather than building up gradually over a session.
Pragmatic Play's own build of Fury of Anubis also includes an Ante Bet, which raises the starting multiplier ceiling on base-game spins for an increased stake, and several feature-buy tiers that pay a stake multiple to jump straight into the free spins round with a set minimum starting multiplier. Neither of these is something UK players will actually see at a UK-licensed casino: the UK Gambling Commission's 2020 guidance led UK-licensed operators to withdraw feature-buy mechanics for UK players entirely, so treat both as descriptions of how the game is built rather than options available to you at a UK-licensed site.
Volatility & Win Potential
Pragmatic Play's own game page lists Fury of Anubis at 96.52% RTP; industry slot databases also list 95.51% and 94.52% configurations, so check the game info panel at your chosen site for the exact figure running there. Volatility is medium, with a hit frequency of roughly 27.85% — noticeably more forgiving than Pragmatic's higher-volatility Egyptian titles, though the doubling multiplier means individual results can still swing widely once a longer tumble sequence gets going. The maximum win is 10,000x the stake. Pragmatic Play's listed bet range runs from £0.20 to £240 per spin (£720 with the Ante Bet) — as above, UK-licensed operators apply their own £5 (25+) or £2 (18–24) per-spin stake caps on top of this regardless of the game's own maximum.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: The doubling multiplier ladder is easy to read and gives every tumble sequence a clear reason to keep watching.
- Pro: Medium volatility and a 27.85% hit frequency make this a more approachable session than Pragmatic's high-volatility Egyptian catalogue.
- Pro: A 10,000x ceiling still gives the multiplier mechanic real teeth once a sequence runs long.
- Con: The multiplier resetting every spin means big values depend entirely on a single sequence going well, rather than building up over time.
- Con: The Egyptian temple theme and gem-based symbol set are well-trodden ground for Pragmatic Play, so the visuals don't stand out much from the studio's other releases in the genre.
Final Verdict
Fury of Anubis is a solid, approachable entry in Pragmatic Play's Egyptian lineup — the escalating multiplier is simple to follow and gives medium-volatility players a real 10,000x ceiling to chase without the long dry spells of the studio's more extreme titles. It won't be the most visually distinctive release in the catalogue, but the core mechanic is well-executed and easy to recommend to anyone who wants steadier action than a typical high-volatility Egyptian slot.
