Hand of Anubis on 1xBet Algeria — the underworld Egypt from Hacksaw Gaming

Hand of Anubis by Hacksaw Gaming flips every Egyptian slot convention on its head. Where most Egypt-themed slots lean on golden pyramids, sunshine, and gleaming hieroglyphs, this title dives into the dark depths of the underworld. Two statues of the jackal-headed god Anubis frame the grid — one with red eyes, one with blue — silently watching every spin. Released in 2022, the slot fits the lineage of Hacksaw Gaming's dark releases alongside Cursed Crypt and Rise of Ymir, proving the studio knows how to rewrite familiar themes with a singular aesthetic. The slot loads directly from the online slots library, no installation needed.

Cluster Pays mechanic and Soul Orbs

Hand of Anubis runs on a 5-column × 6-row grid with a Cluster Pays system — no paylines, no ways to win. To win, you need to form a group of at least 5 matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically. Bigger clusters mean bigger payouts. When a winning cluster forms, the involved symbols vanish and new ones drop into their place — that's the classic Cascading system at Hacksaw Gaming.

The slot's main innovation is the Soul Orbs. These special wilds appear randomly and carry a progressive multiplier that grows through consecutive wins. There are two variants: the Red Soul Orb, whose multiplier increases by +1 for each symbol included in a winning cluster — favoring big clusters. The Blue Soul Orb, whose multiplier increases by +1 for each winning cluster regardless of size — favoring chained cascades. Both types can stack on the same grid.

Bonus games trigger based on the scatter count obtained in base game. Underworld Free Spins — 3 scatters award 10 free spins, with Green Soul Orbs appearing and a multiplier modifier at the bottom of each reel. Green orbs activate their reel's multiplier, and the value adds to the multiplier modifier of all other reels. Judgement Free Spins — 4 scatters award 3 refilling spins, in a hold-and-win format. Special blocks replace symbols: Multiplier Blocks stack at the bottom, Ice Blocks transform into multiplier blocks, and Crusher Blocks merge multipliers and reset the spin counter to 3. The bonus ends if 3 consecutive spins produce no new block.

The default RTP is 96.24% according to Hacksaw Gaming, with lower-RTP versions (94.32%, 92.28%, and 88.41%) distributed in certain regions. The value shown in the game interface remains the reference to verify. Volatility is high (5/5 on the Hacksaw scale), with a hit frequency of 36.92% — relatively steady for the category. The theoretical maximum payout reaches 10,000x the stake.

From Algeria, Hand of Anubis runs cleanly in-browser and through the 1xBet mobile app. The interface switches between French, English and Arabic. To compare with other Hacksaw Gaming titles on the platform — Le Bandit, Wanted Dead or a Wild, Cursed Crypt — the providers directory groups the full Hacksaw catalog on the platform.

Deposit methods from Algeria

Several local and international channels let Algerian players fund their account before launching Hand of Anubis. BaridiMob remains the most direct DZD deposit route via Algérie Poste, outside the standard banking circuit. Crypto wallets — USDT on Tron or BSC, BinancePay, RedotPay — process transactions within minutes and bypass the card-level restrictions sometimes applied to domestic plastic. Skrill 1-Tap, Neteller and MoneyGo USD round out the international e-wallet options. A player account needs to be opened from the sign-up page first.

Crypto and e-wallet deposits hit the balance within minutes, while BaridiMob transfers may take one to two hours depending on the issuing branch. The high volatility of Hand of Anubis calls for attentive bankroll management — sessions can hit significant dry spells between bonus triggers.

Mobile play from Algeria

Hand of Anubis was optimized for mobile from launch. The 5×6 grid stays readable in portrait, and the dark aesthetic with the two Anubis statues keeps its visual impact even on entry-level smartphones. The iOS download page serves the official app directly, skipping the App Store route, and the Android APK offers full feature parity. Registered users just sign in to their account and head to the casino games hub to find the slot among the featured Hacksaw Gaming titles.
