Ancient World Deluxe

Travel back to the age of dinosaurs in Ancient World Deluxe, a video slot from Merkur Gaming that takes you deep into a prehistoric world alive with erupting volcanoes and ancient beasts. Its classic 5-reel, 3-row setup with 10 fixed paylines delivers straightforward fun that’s easy to follow for both new and seasoned players.

Gameplay and Features

You’ll spin across 5 reels and 10 paylines, with a minimum stake of $0.10 and a maximum of $20 per spin—enough flexibility for casual and serious players alike. The game’s Return to Player (RTP) stands at 95.61%. Volatility is medium, so expect a mix of regular small wins and the chance for bigger payouts.

Low-value symbols come from classic playing cards (10, J, Q, K, A), while higher-value icons include shining dinosaur eggs, mosquitoes in amber, lava mushrooms, and mighty dinosaurs. Watch for the erupting volcano, which acts as both the Wild and the Scatter—it substitutes for other symbols to help you form wins and, when three or more hit, it unlocks the Free Spins feature.

The Free Spins round awards 10 free spins, and before this begins, a random symbol is chosen to become a Special Expanding Symbol. When this lands during your free spins, it can expand to cover an entire reel—giving you extra chances for a big win. Plus, if more Scatter symbols land during this bonus feature, you can win even more free spins with another Special Expanding Symbol.

There’s also a Gamble feature after any win, letting you risk your payout on a simple card colour guess for the chance to double your winnings—perfect for players who like a bit more excitement.

Theme and Design

Ancient World Deluxe is set against the backdrop of a dramatic volcanic landscape, with eye-catching graphics and moving animations that bring the ancient era to life. The lively soundtrack further draws you into the heart of this lost world each time you spin.
