A short story from the game world
A gold sarcophagus mask stands in the middle with crook and flail crossed, flanked by a queen holding up a glowing violet gem and a green book stamped with a scarab. Behind them a pyramid sits under a purple night, lit from a direction where no light should be.

- Its published RTP of 96.46% sits 0.26 points above the 96.2% median of the other 384 ways to win games here. RTP is a long-run theoretical figure, not a per-session one.
- The studio grades it high volatility, which 42% of ways to win games here share. Volatility describes the spread of outcomes, not how often a result arrives.
- The stated win cap is 10,000×, around the middle of the range for this family (median 9,648×). A cap is a rulebook limit, not an expected outcome.
