Cursed Crypt Features
Cursed reels
When a curse symbol lands, it spreads to the top of its reel, creating cursed positions. Those positions then reveal one random symbol or a wild, which can connect several ways at once. Curses work in the base game and both bonuses.
Wrath of Sobek
Three scatters award 10 free spins with curse symbols landing more often. Two or three scatters during the round add 2 or 4 spins.
Tomb of Tutankhamun
Four scatters award 10 free spins in which curses reveal only high-paying symbols or wilds, with the same retrigger rules.
Buy options
Where allowed: BonusHunt costs 3× and makes a bonus about five times more likely; Curse of Three (40×) and Curse of Five (150×) guarantee curses each spin; the bonuses cost 100× and 200×.
