Tomb of Gold 2 Slot Overview
Tomb of Gold 2 is Play'n GO's sequel to the 2024 original, built on a 6x4 grid with 4,096 ways to win. Released in June 2025, it keeps the Ancient Egyptian tomb setting and core mechanics from Tomb of Gold while adding a new Stack of Gold jackpot feature, revised wild multiplier rules, and a higher 10,000x max win ceiling. The RTP sits at 96.21% with high volatility rated 8 out of 10 on the studio's scale.
Compared to the studio's previous work on this franchise, the design choice to layer jackpot tiers on top of the existing Lock'N Gold and Free Spins framework gives sessions a second base game trigger to look forward to. Bets range from 0.10 to 100 per spin, and a 28.99% hit frequency keeps the base game from feeling completely barren. I would not call it a radical departure, but the additions are targeted enough to keep returning players engaged.
Symbols and Paytable
Premium symbols draw from classic Egyptian iconography. A red queen pays 5x the bet for six of a kind, followed by a purple Anubis, green scarab, and blue ankh paying between 3x and 4x. Low-pay royals (10 through A) return 1x to 1.4x for a full six-symbol way. These values are modest, which means the real weight sits squarely on the bonus features rather than base game combinations.
Wild symbols appear on every reel and substitute for all regular pay symbols. Six wilds across a win way pay 6x the bet. During Free Spins, wilds carry multiplier values of x1, x2, or x3 that feed into a global counter. The Sphinx scatter triggers the free spins round, while golden coin symbols drive both the Stack of Gold and Lock'N Gold features.

Bonus Features Breakdown
Stack of Gold is the main new addition here. When 5 or fewer coin symbols land during the base game, they are collected into a stack displayed above the grid. Once coins have been collected, the feature can trigger randomly, awarding one of four fixed prizes: Mini at 20x, Minor at 50x, Major at 100x, or Grand at 1,000x the bet. The stack's visual size is purely cosmetic and has no bearing on trigger probability.
Lock'N Gold activates when 6 coin symbols land on the reels. You receive 3 respins, and any new coin that appears sticks in place and resets the spin count. Each coin reveals a value between 1x and 10x your bet at the end of the round, with the total sum awarded. Filling the entire 6x4 grid with coins pays a flat 500x regardless of individual coin values.
Free Spins trigger when 3 or more Sphinx scatters land. A wheel first determines your spin count (anywhere from 10 to 30 depending on scatter count) and a starting multiplier between x1 and x5. During the round, each wild symbol that lands adds +1, +2, or +3 to that global multiplier, which applies to all wins. Additional Sphinx scatters grant one extra spin each, up to a cap of 65 total. What stands out here is the upgraded wild contribution; compared to the original where wilds could only add +1 each, the x3 wilds allow the multiplier to climb significantly faster.
Bonus Buy Options
When 5 or fewer coin symbols land in the base game, they are collected. The stack can randomly trigger one of four fixed jackpot prizes: Mini (20x), Minor (50x), Major (100x) or Grand (1,000x).
Landing 6 coin symbols triggers 3 respins. Coins stick in place and reset the spin count. At the end, each coin reveals a value of 1x to 10x the bet. Filling the entire grid awards 500x flat.
Triggered by 3+ Sphinx scatters. A wheel determines 10-30 free spins and a starting win multiplier of x1 to x5. Wild symbols with x1, x2 or x3 values add to a global win multiplier. Retriggers possible up to 65 total spins.
Volatility, RTP and Max Win
At 96.21% default RTP, Tomb of Gold 2 sits slightly above the industry average for high-volatility slots. However, operators can select from lower RTP configurations down to 84.20%, so checking the paytable before playing is always sensible. The 10,000x max win is a 43% bump over the first game's 7,000x cap, though reaching that ceiling remains astronomically unlikely.
High volatility means long stretches without bonus triggers. The base game can drag a bit, with premium symbol payouts topping out at just 5x for six of a kind. Not everyone will enjoy this volatility profile, and casual players looking for steady returns should approach with caution. I'm not entirely sold on the jackpot values either; a 1,000x Grand feels modest for a high-volatility sequel trying to compete with modern releases that routinely offer much larger fixed jackpots.
