Mummy's Gold Casino Review
Back in 1986 the musical group known as The Bangles had a No. 1 hit called "Walk Like an Egyptian." Now, Mummy's Gold Online Casino is giving you a chance to play like an Egyptian!
Of course, when you log on to play, you are still sitting at your computer, but the grand entrance to a pyramid beckoning you to enter and uncover its riches makes you feel like you are being transported to another time and place. It's a strange juxtaposition of the mystical world of ancient Egypt (pharaohs, pyramids, and mummies) with 21st century technology, but it works because you are suddenly curious to see if you might be able to dig up some hidden gold treasure for yourself.
Mummy's Gold Casino was first launched in 2002. Along with several other online casinos (reviewed separately), Mummy's Gold belongs to the esteemed Palace Group of casinos. Mummy's Gold, like the other Palace Group casinos, is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority, eCogra certified and powered by Microgaming software.
Mummy's Gold does not offer anywhere near the same enormous selection of games as Spin Palace and Ruby Fortune, but it does offer the variety and quality you would expect from a Microgaming casino. Slot players and table game players alike will have no problem finding games that appeal to them at stakes they want to play.
The casino is very popular and has an international following. Multiple languages and currencies are supported. Unfortunately, no one from the U.S. or UK is allowed to play.
Mummy’s Gold Mobile Options
When we last reviewed Mummy’s Gold Casino in 2014, we were surprised to discover that it lacked a mobile platform. We are happy to be able to report now that this casino does offer mobile games, but disappointed that the option isn’t being promoted and new players are basically left in the dark both about how to proceed and what games and promotions will be available to them if they use a mobile device.
Needing to rely on a computer to play can be frustrating for people who are rarely home. More people than ever before who enjoy online gambling fall into that category. They find using a mobile device to play their favorite casino games to be a practical solution and far more enjoyable than twiddling their thumbs when they are away from home and have some downtime. Therefore, to keep up with the times, it is imperative that casinos not only utilize the advanced mobile technology available to them but make access to their mobile games as easy and as user-friendly as possible. Instead of separate apps requiring downloading on either Apple iOS devices (iPhones and iPads) or Android phones and tablets and limiting play to just a few games, one multi-purpose app should be compatible with almost all devices and allow play on many games. In addition, the most advanced mobile casinos do not require any downloading by the user at all. Instead, players can simply use the browser on their smartphone or tablet to access the game of their choice, which saves a lot of time.
The extent to which the Mummy’s Gold Casino mobile platform offers the aforementioned advanced features is not clear, but it can probably be assumed, due to the lack of promotion, that this casino’s mobile platform is very limited. The casino has reportedly released one app that is compatible with some iPhones and iPads and another that is compatible with some Android devices. That is all we can say since there is no mention of mobile games at all on www.mummysgold.com and the information provided elsewhere online is conflicting. We therefore highly recommend that you contact Customer Support, describe your mobile device, find out if it is supported, and if so, what games you can play on it and how to access them. You can also visit the Mummy’s Gold website from your smartphone or tablet, which should take you directly to the Mummy’s Gold mobile casino.
Mummy’s Gold Games
If you download the software onto your computer, you will have about 250 games to choose from, not what you would call a huge casino by any means (compared to Ruby Fortune's 500+ games, for example), but still more than enough to meet most players' needs. It is also a manageable number of games, so it will not take you forever to make up your mind what to play. Since Mummy's Gold is on Microgaming's list to regularly receive new releases, not only should the total number of games increase over time, but you can enjoy early access to some of these exciting new games.
All of the games are listed in the lobby where they are conveniently organized by category. Another nice feature is that you can click on any game you are interested in for a brief description, which will help you decide if this a game you would like to play. In addition, the casino gives you the option to play any game you wish except the progressive jackpot games for free, but only if you open a special “guest account.” You then receive 2,000 credits which you can use to try out different games.
The guest account option is useful, particularly with a new game you are not familiar with, since you can use play money to test the waters before committing yourself to real money. But unfortunately, while you can replace your guest account with a real money account whenever you are ready, it does not appear that the casino will let you open both a guest account and a real money account at the same time. That way you would be able to choose for any given game whether you want to use play money or real money, i.e., bet real money on the games you are sure you want to play and play money on those games where you are unsure.
Slots
If you are a slots player, you can pick your favorites from an impressive collection of more than 100 slots. Your options include 3-Reel Slot Games, 5-Reel Slot Games, Feature Slot Games, Mega Spin Slot Games, and Progressive Jackpot Slot Games. If you prefer simple, traditional slots, you should choose one of the games with 3-reels. But if action and excitement are what you crave, look no further than the video, mega spin, and progressive slots. The largest slot category consists of the Feature Slot Games, all of which are themed video slots. Or, for an even bigger rush, the slots that offer the mega spin feature allow you to play multiple machines simultaneously. Or try your luck one one of 15 progressive jackpot machines, where all it takes is one lucky spin to make a player (maybe you) an instant multimillionaire.
Some of the most popular slots at Mummy’s Gold are, understandably, those with Egyptian themes like Phararoh’s Tomb, Tomb Raider, and Isis and the progressive slot Cleopatra's Nile. Speaking of progressives, since Mummy's Gold is included in the multi-casino Microgaming Jackpot Network shared prize pool, the steadily building top jackpots are enormous.
