A While on the Nile review

A While on the Nile is an older but still very popular video slot coming from NextGen Gaming. This is a Superbet game, which has the potential for payouts ranging up to 10,000 times the total stake in a single spin.

In order to have a chance to land this kind of payout you will need to play on the maximum Superbet level, setting your minimum bet size at $3.5 per spin. Because of this A While on the Nile is a game which will require a higher starting bankroll if you want to optimize your chances of winning big.

Theme and Visual Details

The game is inspired by Ancient Egypt with Cleopatra and the Pharaoh as main game symbols. In terms of visual details, the slot is not on the top level, but this is to be expected from a little bit outdated title.

But even so the symbols in the game are well designed and the choice of colors is spot on, giving the slot a vintage appearance.

Gameplay

The gameplay in A While on the Nile is quite fun, since you never know when a big number of Wilds will land on the reels. With the Superbet option activated any payouts from all Wild wins are significantly bigger, which makes the slot even more exciting to play.

Bet size, payouts and RTP

A While on the Nile is designed as a 50 payline slot, meaning that the bet size can range anywhere from $0.50 up to $125 per spin.

Playing with the Superbet option will in return increase your total stake size. Depending whether you are playing with the Superbet on level 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 the minimum bet size can be $1, $1.5, $2.5, $3 or $3.5 per spin, while the maximum bet per spin can go up to $875 per spin.

The game comes with a high variance and an RTP value of 95.63%.

Bonus features

The first detail you will notice about the game is the Superbet option. As we said before, there are 5 levels in total, which increase your total bet size in return, but the benefits from using the Superbet option are well worth the extra funds.

Each Superbet level will increase the win multiplier of the Wild symbol. So, depending whether you are playing on level 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, the Wild will have an attached multiplier of x2, x4, x6, x8 or x10.

The Wild symbol in the game is the Pharaoh and it can land on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. It can land stacked across these reels and will substitute for all other symbols in the game, except for the Scatter symbols.

A While on the Nile comes with two Scatter symbols, both triggering a separate bonus feature.

The Scarab can land on reels 1, 3 and 5 only and triggers the Scarab Bonus Feature. This is a cash pick and win bonus where you make picks on the screen and get cash prizes in return. The Scarab Bonus will end when the Collect symbol is revealed.

The Jewel Scatter can land on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. When this happens the free spins bonus is triggered where the player is awarded with 5 free spins. If another trio of Jewels land on the reels during the feature, extra 5 free spins are awarded. During the free spins bonus Extra Wild symbols are added to the three central reels.

Conclusion

A While on the Nile is an attractive video slot which is a predecessor of the more modern version of this game, Merlin’s Millions Superbet HQ. Both slots have the same bonus features and payouts, the only difference being in the game symbols and visual details.

In order to maximize your chances of winning big in this game you will need to play on the top Superbet level. This will require a bigger starting bankroll, but you can win a lot more in one lucky spin.
