How To Play Chambers of Ancients Mobile Slot
The Chambers of Ancients slot takes you to a world where the ancient gods hold their riches in a vault that only you can crack. With only 10 paylines and a low minimum bet of 0.10 a spin, this is a very accessible, high-variance Play’n GO game.
With a max win of 20,000x your bet, you know you will have to fight for every spin and every win in this Chambers of Ancients online slot. Five gods rule these reels: Thor, Athena, Ganesha, Caishen, and Eset, each with their own keys to their own vault.
The slot’s object is to open the vault and unlock the riches within. The Thor Vault has higher-value coins, all the way down to Esset and Caishen, where you only win maybe 5x your bet. You can tell that the software provider is Swedish-based and has a soft spot for its old Viking roots.
Overall, this is a beautiful-looking machine that is well-themed. You play on 5×3 reels and just 10 paylines. As with many mobile slots with a re-spin mini-bonus (Think Area Link Piggy Bank or Cash Truck 2), the base game will pass the time until you’ve bought enough spins to hit the bonus.
Unlock the Chambers of Ancients slot bonus
As you play, you find keys belonging to the different gods. Get three and you enter their vault, and yes, you can unlock multiple vaults in a row because we’ve done it. Thankfully, this is one feature that shows up often.
It shows up often because you rarely win big. You have many special coins that collect, multiply, and restart the free spins to collect more coins, but it’s a little slow in its uptake. After hitting it 10 to 15 times in a half hour and winning not much more than 10x our bet, it starts to lose its excitement.
Thankfully, we kept playing and eventually hit the Thor Bonus, where we won the Thor coin (worth 25x your bet—the highest you’ll find) with a 3x multiplier, allowing us to walk away with 89x our bet.
It’s not huge, but it was a little taste that there’s more hiding in these reels, and the gods weren’t answering our players this time.
You can win 20,000x your bet within the vaults
We know this because the game says we can, but honestly, we wouldn’t chase the amount. Unlike the Banquet of Dead slot, where you know exactly which symbol at what point will trigger your big win, here, you have to do some crazy computer math to figure it out.
And don’t expect the free spins to save you. Getting 3 scatters may trigger 8 free spins, but the only thing you get is a higher chance to catch more keys and open multiple vaults in a row.
You are still at the mercy of those re-spinning coins and the fact most barely pay your bet back.
We don’t want to end this Chambers of Ancients slot review on a downer because, ultimately, this delivers on its promise: a hard-winning, hard-playing, high-variance game. If that’s your jam, then we can happily say that your prayers have been answered.
