Temple of Three by Play’n GO – Review, Free Play in Demo Mode

Play’n GO has been releasing slots about Ancient Egypt for over a decade, starting with Leprechaun Goes Egypt in 2013 and Book of Dead in 2016. As a new slot with a similar premise, Temple of Three is a high-quality product, both visually and mechanics-wise. The game takes place inside a temple dedicated to three major Egyptian gods: Bastet, Anubis and Ra, who play a significant role in the gameplay by granting unique blessings. As with any other similar slot game, expect to see lots of sandstone, gold and other typical symbols like ankhs and scarabs.

For a slot with a small grid, Temple of Three has quite a few features. Those include cash and collect symbols, a bonus game with three different modifiers, instant jackpot rewards and a toggle that increases the value of coins.

Cash Coins

There are 10 tiers of cash coin symbols, paying from 0.5x to 10x your stake if paired with a Treasure Keeper symbol on the 2nd reel. Each landed coin can trigger one of three pots, which may start the bonus game with re-spins

Divine Re-spins

When a Treasure Keeper symbol appears on the middle reel, you get an additional re-spin, which pulls the collect symbol down by 1 row until it vanishes. There is a chance that more cash coins land to increase your round’s win.

Hold’n Spin

The bonus round with 3 re-spins starts when a coin triggers at least one of the pots with a random chance. Treasure Keeper symbols on the middle reel become sticky, while only coins, new collectors and jackpots can appear. Each new symbol refreshes the counter of re-spins. 

Three Pot Features

Pots, resembling Egyptian deities on the left of the playing field, collect cash coins and can apply special modifiers to the Hold’n Spin feature when triggered.

• Bastet’s Multiplier Pot - A frame with a 2x multiplier initially appears on 1 or 2 empty positions. Each re-spin has a chance to spawn a new 2x multiplier or upgrade the existing ones by 1x.
• Ra’s Mystery Pot - At the start of the bonus game, a mystery symbol occupies one of the spots on reels 1 or 3. When you’re out of re-spins, the prize is revealed, containing one of the jackpots.
• Anubis’ Enhancer Pot - There is a chance to upgrade coin symbols by 1 tier, which will increase their value.

Fixed Jackpots

4 jackpot symbols can appear only in the Hold’n Spin game. Treasure Keeper collects them and adds to the total winnings just like regular coins. The multipliers for jackpots are 15x, 25x, 50x and 100x.

Second Blessing

When on your final re-spin during the bonus round, and no new symbols land, there is a chance that one of the spots turns into a coin, resetting your spins.

GO Ultra

This feature acts like an ante bet, increasing your stake by 1.5x. In return, all the cash coin values get upgraded, so that the minimum payout becomes 0.67x from 0.5x, and the maximum goes up to 13.33x from 10x.

Wilds, Bonus Symbols and Payouts

This slot has no wilds, so the only icons of note are cash coins, jackpots, and the Treasure Keeper that collects them. There are also 5 royal symbols from 10 to A and 3 premium ones that build combinations of three along the winning lines from left to right. The multipliers on those combos are a bit disappointing, paying only from 1x to 6x at a time.

• RTP: 96.2% - Compared to many of the previous Egypt titles, such as Dawn of Egypt or Legacy of Dead with return values around 94%, Temple of Three is a step up, taking the game above the industry average.
• Bet Size: C$0.10 – C$50 - While it’s a very affordable slot machine to play, the upper limit of C$50 is unlikely to attract high rollers. But for casual gaming, it will be enough.
• Variance: Medium-High - Temple of Three lands a bit behind the riskiest volatility scale point, which may result in more consistent winning rounds. When you hit a win, it could be a big one.

Temple of Three is a casual slot game for those who prefer Ancient Egypt as a backdrop and the collect mechanic as the main gameplay element. With the variance being on the higher end, it is not always easy to land a win, but bonus games happen quite often, and with the right blessings, they can be very satisfying. The winning potential of 10,000x is definitely an exciting prospect, so with the maximum bet limit, the most you can get from a single lucky spin is C$500,000.
