Great Adventure
Amusnet’s official sheet for this game carries something almost nothing else in the catalogue does: a Special Features block with two entries. “Free Spins with Extra Wild Symbols” and “Statue Feature”. Both in the studio’s own words, on the studio’s own page.
And the return is 96.44%, which is the second-highest of every game Amusnet released on 3 December 2014 — behind only Burning Hot at 96.45%, which has no documented features whatsoever. One hundredth of a percentage point buys you a pick-me round and free spins with golden wilds.
The Statue Feature is the reason to care. Three or more Adventure Journal scatters open it, you choose one of five statues, and you win between three and ten free spins with a special golden Wild added to the reels. That is a pick-me round — the first we have documented in any Amusnet game.
One piece of housekeeping, because finding this game showed us we got something wrong. Our Blue Heart review called that machine the one title from 3 December 2014 that got features. It wasn’t. See the section below.

Play Great Adventure Free
The demo below runs the real game with no account and no deposit. Worth the time here specifically to see the Statue Feature: it is the only pick-me round we have found in the Amusnet catalogue, and how it feels to choose between five statues is not something a spec table can tell you. This demo is part of our collection of free EGT slot demos.
Great Adventure at a Glance
How Great Adventure Plays
Five reels, three rows, twenty-five paylines. Amusnet writes the line count as simply “25”, without the “Fixed” qualifier it does add to 20 Diamonds and 20 Super Hot, while both databases call them fixed. Assume fixed and check the client.
The theme is Ancient Egypt, and the official description is unusually forthcoming about it: a Pharaoh, “Wild temples”, mysterious treasures, scarabs, and an ancient book you open to find the statues. That book is the Adventure Journal, and it is the scatter.
So there are three things happening. Symbols pay left to right along twenty-five lines with a wild substituting. Three or more Adventure Journals open the Statue Feature, which awards free spins with extra golden wilds. And Jackpot Cards can fire at random on top of all of it, if your operator runs it.
The Story Behind Great Adventure
Amusnet dates Great Adventure 3 December 2014 on its own page. SlotCatalog says 11 July 2014; we prefer the studio’s date.
Now the correction. When we reviewed Blue Heart we wrote that Amusnet “shipped four machines” on 3 December 2014 and that Blue Heart was the one of them that got features. Both statements were wrong, and our own records already showed it.
By Amusnet’s own official dates, that single day produced at least eight titles: Burning Hot, 20 Super Hot, 40 Super Hot, Extra Stars, Dice & Roll, Egypt Sky, Blue Heart and this one. Flaming Hot followed the next day. And Blue Heart was not the only one with a bonus round — Egypt Sky, released the same day, already had free spins on three, four or five scatters. We have corrected the Blue Heart review.
What survives, and what this game strengthens, is the underlying point: 3 December 2014 was not a batch of identical feature-free fruit machines. It was a broad release spanning empty classics and genuinely built-out games, and Great Adventure is the most built-out of them.
Symbols and Paytable
Amusnet publishes no symbol values, and the one page that offers figures quotes them in a way we would not repeat. What follows is what the studio confirms plus what two or more independent sources agree on.
| Adventure Journal (Scatter) | The “ancient book” of the official description. Three or more of them open the Statue Feature. SlotCatalog and Casinolandia both name it as the scatter and both give the three-scatter trigger; the studio describes the mechanic without naming the symbol, so the mechanic is official and the name is database-sourced. What it pays is not published. |
|---|---|
| The golden Wild — free spins only | This is the distinctive one and it is officially confirmed. The Special Features block reads “Free Spins with Extra Wild Symbols”, and the description promises “a special golden Wild” during the round. Both databases describe regular symbols becoming Wild Gold symbols for the duration. Three sources agree these extra wilds exist only inside the bonus. |
| The base-game wild | The official description refers to the Pharaoh’s “Wild temples”, so a base-game wild exists. Nobody publishes its reel behaviour, whether it expands, or what it pays, so we are not going to describe any of that. |
| Pharaoh, scarabs and the Egyptian set | The usual themed ladder underneath, with the 1,000× line payout at the top. No reliable published values — the in-game paytable is the authority. |
The split between the two wilds is the part worth carrying into a session. The base game has one wild doing ordinary substitution work; the bonus adds golden wilds on top. That is why the free spins here are worth more than their modest count suggests — three to ten spins with extra wilds is a different proposition to three to ten ordinary ones.
Bonus Features
The Statue Feature — a genuine pick-me
Officially named in Amusnet’s Special Features block. Three or more Adventure Journal scatters open it; both databases add that you then choose one of five statues, and the studio’s own description confirms you “choose one of them and win up to 10 Free Spins with a special golden Wild”. This is the first pick-me round we have documented in any Amusnet title — the only other one in our archive belongs to EGT Digital, a different company.
Free spins with extra golden wilds
The second entry in the official Special Features block: “Free Spins with Extra Wild Symbols”. Three to ten spins depending on the statue you pick, with golden Wild symbols added for the round. The “up to 10” ceiling is the studio’s; the three-to-ten range comes from two databases. SlotCatalog says the feature can retrigger during the spins — single source, so treat that as reported.
96.44% — near the top of the catalogue
Verified officially and confirmed by two databases. Only Burning Hot and Zodiac Wheel (both 96.45%) return more among the Amusnet games we have measured, and Great Adventure ties Dragon Reels. Within the 3 December 2014 wave it is second only to Burning Hot — by 0.01 points, for a game with two documented features against none.
Gamble — and the colour claim is double-sourced here
Gamble is on the official feature list. Unusually, both SlotCatalog and Casinolandia describe it as guessing the colour of a face-down card, which is better than the single-source colour claims we normally have to hedge across this catalogue. Still worth a glance at the actual screen before you use it.
Volatility: the studio says 3/5, one database disagrees
Amusnet officially rates it 3 out of 5 and Casinolandia independently says Medium. SlotCatalog is the outlier at Low-Med. Two of three point to Medium and one of those is the studio, so Medium is what we would go with — the same official rating as Egypt Sky, Circus Brilliant and The Story of Alexander.
Jackpot Cards — named by the databases, not the studio
SlotCatalog and Casinolandia both name the Jackpot Cards Mystery on this game: the four-level progressive that fires at random at the end of any paid spin regardless of what the reels did. Twelve face-down cards appear and you pick until three of one suit show; the suit you complete is the level you win, Clubs at the bottom and Spades at the top.
Amusnet’s own page leaves the jackpot field unspecified for this title — unlike Flaming Hot, where the studio writes “Mystery Jackpot Cards game” directly. So the sourcing here is two databases rather than the studio, and Jackpot Cards is enabled per operator in any case.
It matters less on this game than on most, and that is a compliment. With a base-game ceiling around 40× your total stake, a pick-me round and free spins with extra wilds, there is something to play for between jackpot triggers. On 20 Diamonds or 100 Super Hot the progressive is more or less the only route to a result worth having. Check the jackpot panel is above the reels either way.
The Gamble Feature, Properly Explained
Gamble is on the official feature list alongside Autoplay, and here we can be more confident than usual about its form: both SlotCatalog and Casinolandia describe guessing the colour of a face-down card, with a correct guess doubling the win.
Two independent sources agreeing on colour rather than suit is genuinely better sourcing than most of this catalogue offers — on Burning Hot, 20 Diamonds and Circus Brilliant we had to hedge that claim to a single source. It still is not the studio’s word, and the win cap and attempt limit are unpublished, so look at the screen before you use it.
- TWO features named in Amusnet’s own Special Features block — almost nothing else in the catalogue gets two
- 96.44% is near the top of the Amusnet range and second-best of the entire 3 December 2014 wave
- The Statue Feature is a real pick-me round — the first we have found in any Amusnet title
- Free spins add golden wilds rather than just repeating the base game
- Official and database sources agree on the max-win basis for once — 1,000× per line, said the same way twice
- 1,000× per line across twenty-five lines is only about 40× your total stake
- Three to ten free spins is a short round by any standard
- Amusnet omits the “Fixed” qualifier on the line count, so the databases are filling that gap
- One site quotes a “$1,000,000” max win derived from multiplying by a maximum stake — the same error it made on Blue Heart
- The studio does not name Jackpot Cards here, so the progressive is database-sourced and operator-dependent
How Great Adventure Compares
The first two rows are the 3 December 2014 comparison. The last two are the other Egyptian Amusnet games.
| Game | RTP | Lines | Volatility | Bonus round |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Great Adventure | 96.44% | 25 | 3 / 5 official | Statue pick-me → 3–10 spins, golden wilds |
| Burning Hot | 96.45% | 5 fixed | 2 / 5 official | None documented |
| Egypt Sky | 96.30% | 40 | 3 / 5 official | 3/4/5 scatters → 3/5/7 spins |
| Rise of Ra | 95.97% | 15 selectable | Not published | 15 spins at 3× |
Row two is the one that makes the case. Burning Hot returns one hundredth of a percentage point more and shipped the same day, and it has no documented bonus round at all. What Burning Hot does have is a far higher ceiling — 3,000× concentrated onto five lines works out around 600× your total stake, against roughly 40× here. So the trade is real: Burning Hot is the game to pick if you want a big top end and nothing else; Great Adventure is the one to pick if you want something to happen.
Against the other Egyptian titles it wins on return outright. Egypt Sky gives you more lines and a scatter-count bonus but 0.14 points less. Rise of Ra has the strongest multiplier in the group at 3× across fifteen spins, but returns 0.47 points less and Amusnet publishes no variance rating for it at all.
RTP, Volatility and Win Potential
96.44%, verified on Amusnet’s official page and confirmed by SlotCatalog and Casinolandia without disagreement. That is comfortably above the roughly 96% online average and near the top of everything we have measured from this studio — only Burning Hot and Zodiac Wheel beat it, both at 96.45%, and it ties Dragon Reels exactly.
Volatility is officially rated 3 out of 5. Casinolandia independently says Medium, which agrees; SlotCatalog says Low-Med, which does not. We go with the studio and the source that matches it. That puts Great Adventure level with Egypt Sky, Circus Brilliant and The Story of Alexander.
The ceiling needs the usual arithmetic. Amusnet says “1000 x bet per line” and — refreshingly — SlotCatalog independently writes “x1000.00 per bet line”, so for once the sources agree on the basis and not just the number. Across twenty-five lines your total stake is twenty-five times the line bet, making that roughly 40× your total bet. Modest, and better than the 20 Diamonds and 100 Super Hot end of the range but well short of Burning Hot.
One figure to disregard: Casinolandia states a maximum payout of “$1,000,000”. That is 1,000× multiplied by its own quoted $1,000 maximum stake — precisely the derivation it applied to Blue Heart. It is not a published ceiling.
Bets, Bankroll and Session Planning
SlotCatalog and Casinolandia both give a range of roughly 0.01 to 1,000 per spin and they agree. Amusnet does not publish one and operators narrow it, so treat that as the shape.
The open question is the same as on Blue Heart and Circus Brilliant: the official page says “25” without saying whether the lines are fixed. Both databases say they are. If they are, your total bet is always twenty-five times the line stake, which is exactly what turns the 1,000×-per-line headline into about 40× overall. The line selector in your client answers it in a second.
Playing Great Adventure on Mobile
Amusnet lists desktop and mobile. A 5 × 3 grid is fifteen symbol positions, which is as legible as slots get on a phone, and the Egyptian symbol set is bold and high-contrast.
The one screen that asks more of a small display is the Statue Feature itself — five statues to choose between is a second screen with five tap targets. It is a simple layout, but it is the moment worth checking in the demo on the device you actually play on.
Five Things to Know Before You Spin
- Weigh it against Burning Hot before you commit. Same release day, 0.01 points more return, and a ceiling roughly fifteen times higher — but no bonus round at all. That is the real choice here, and it depends entirely on what you want a session to feel like.
- The Statue Feature is the game. Three or more Adventure Journals open it, you pick one of five statues, and the pick decides whether you get three spins or ten. Everything else is a twenty-five line classic.
- Free spins are worth more than the count suggests. Golden wilds are added for the round, so ten spins here are not ten ordinary spins. That is officially confirmed, not inferred.
- Read the max win as per line. Amusnet and SlotCatalog both say per line. Across twenty-five lines it is about 40× your total stake. Any million-pound figure you see has been multiplied by a maximum bet.
- Check whether you can deselect lines. The studio says “25” and declines to say fixed or adjustable; both databases say fixed. It changes how you control your stake.
- Look for the jackpot panel. Amusnet does not name Jackpot Cards on this game, and the progressive is enabled per operator. If the panel is not there, it is not running.

Who Great Adventure Is For
This is for someone who wants an Amusnet classic that actually does something. The return is near the top of the studio’s range, the variance is honest middle ground at an official 3/5, and there are two documented features rather than the usual none — a pick-me round and free spins that add wilds rather than just repeating the base game. If you have found the 2014 fruit machines hollow, this is the one from that batch to try.
It is the wrong game if you want a ceiling. Roughly 40× your total stake is modest, and three to ten free spins is a short round however good the wilds are. If a big top end is the point, Burning Hot came out the same day with fifteen times the ceiling and nothing else whatsoever, and that is a coherent choice too.

Our Verdict
The best game Amusnet released that day
We have written a lot of reviews explaining that Amusnet’s 3 December 2014 machines are hollow — no free spins, no special wild behaviour, a gamble and a shared progressive and nothing else. Great Adventure is from that same day and it has a Special Features block with two entries in it, a return of 96.44%, and a pick-me round we have not seen anywhere else in the catalogue.
The Statue Feature earns the score. Three Adventure Journals, five statues, one choice, three to ten free spins with golden wilds added — and the studio documents all of it in its own words rather than leaving us to infer it from a database. The free spins are short, but wilds layered on top make them worth more than the count suggests.
What holds it back is the ceiling. Roughly 40× your total stake is modest, and it is impossible to ignore that Burning Hot shipped the same day, returns a hundredth of a point more, and tops out around fifteen times higher. That is a genuine argument for the other game — if you can live with a machine where nothing ever happens between spins.
We would rather play this one. And finding it corrected our own record: the December 2014 wave was eight titles, not four, and Blue Heart was not the only one with features. Egypt Sky had them too, and Great Adventure has more than either.
