Hand of Anubis

Hand of Anubis is a slot by Hacksaw Gaming, released in 2022. Its published return to player is 96.24%.

How Hand of Anubis plays

Clusters of five or more connecting symbols pay and are replaced by new ones. A red and a blue Soul Orb wild can land; the red one gains 1x per winning symbol and the blue one 1x per winning cluster, both resetting each round and multiplying each other if they join the same win. Three scatters start Underworld (10 spins), where wins build multipliers under each reel and a green orb activates them globally for 3 more spins. Four scatters start Judgment, where skull blocks raise reel multipliers, dropped Multiplier Blocks stack up and a Crusher Block merges them; the payout is the sum of the blocks.

Theme: Ancient Egyptian afterlife. Filed under Ancient Egypt.

Features in this game

  • Cluster pays: A pay system where groups of matching symbols touching each other on the grid win, with no lines or reels-from-the-left rule.
  • Cascading reels: After a win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into the gaps, giving another chance to win from the same stake.
  • Multipliers: A value such as ×2 or ×10 applied to a win, a spin or a whole feature, multiplying the amount paid.
  • Free spins: A bonus round of spins played at no extra cost, usually triggered by scatter symbols and often with extra features.

What the figures mean

An RTP of 96.24% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.76%, so every £100 staked costs £3.76 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £7.52, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.
