Hand of Anubis slot review
Hand of Anubis is Hacksaw Gaming’s 2022 trip to the Egyptian underworld — a cluster-pays judgement chamber where winning symbols leave multiplier-bearing remains, the god’s colossal hand scoops the board, and a two-tier bonus weighs your soul against a 10,000x ceiling. It marked Hacksaw’s first full venture into Egyptian territory and promptly out-darkened every Book game on the market — the underworld framing letting the studio’s morbid streak and its multiplier obsession serve the same story.
How Hand of Anubis plays
Clusters of matching symbols touching across the grid pay and clear, with jackals, scarabs and judgement premiums rendered in Hacksaw’s heavy-inked style. The twist is what wins leave behind: positions where symbols perish gain multipliers that strengthen as further clusters die on them, seeding the board with value for the spin’s later drops — and the looming Hand of Anubis can sweep in to collect and convert what the carnage has built.
The two-tier bonus
Scatters send you below, where the feature comes in two intensities: a standard underworld round where the corpse multipliers persist and compound across the spins, and a higher court — rarer, crueller — where the hand’s interventions and the multiplier growth run at full judgement. Both tiers chase the same advertised 10,000x cap; the difference is how violently they pursue it.
RTP, volatility and max win
The commonly published RTP is around 96.3%, with operator versions varying — Hacksaw ships multiple builds, so check the in-game information panel. Volatility is very high in the studio tradition, with the persistent multipliers making deep bonus rounds the entire point of the descent.
