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), including Spin Palace, Ruby Fortune, and Cabaret Club, 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 Casino is powered by state-of-the-art software from Microgaming, a name you can trust for both consistency and reliability of service and technologically superior products. The theme of this casino notwithstanding, there is no chance of the games being “mummified” because the Microgaming software and Mummy’s Gold Casino software are continually being updated. The graphics, sounds and animations are on a par with what you will find at a high level new online casino.
The Mummy’s Gold games can be accessed in your choice of three convenient ways. The first is to download the user friendly software onto your computer. However, the process is slower than at many other online casinos. Depending on your computer, you will need to allow 7-15 minutes. But it will be worth the wait because you then have access to all of the casino’s games. Or, if you prefer, there is also a no download instant play flash version which lets you play on any browser. You won’t have access to all of the games in instant play, but you will still be able to play many of them. Lastly, if you own a supported mobile device, you can enjoy the added convenience of the option to play select games on the go on your smartphone or tablet. Unfortunately, the casino’s website is not forthcoming about its mobile platform, so accurate information is hard to come by. Hopefully, Mummy’s Gold will correct this omission soon so that the many players who would like to try this option can be better informed. See the next section for a brief review of what Mummy’s Gold Casino has to offer mobile players.
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 favourite 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.
Mummy’s Gold Casino not only offers slots, video poker, keno, and scratch cards, but is also home to a large variety of table games. These not only include all the familiar favourites, but many variations of both blackjack and roulette that you probably never had a chance to play before. If you are playing in a land-based casino, you will most likely to have to settle for the one or two variations of the game typically played in that location, but at Mummy’s Gold, you’re the one deciding what type of blackjack you want to play. Atlantic City, European, Vegas Strip, and Vegas Downtown are all offered, for example.
Or perhaps you would like to try multi-hand, double exposure, or bonus blackjack. If roulette is your favorite game, you might want to try European or French roulette with just a single zero over the tougher on the player American roulette with a double zero. Or add some excitement to your roulette play with the progressive jackpot game Roulette Royale.
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.
