Ancient Disco Review
We have seen futuristic ancient Egypt slots several times before, but we cannot recall a combo of Egypt and 70s disco before. This is exactly what you get in Red Tiger’s Ancient Disco, however, and the tilted grid with speakers on either side makes a solid first impression. At least it will catch most players off guard, so to speak, and it’s refreshing to not be taken to yet another dusty tomb of some kind.
The disco version of the Egypt symbols are kind of hilarious to behold as well, with fancy sunglasses and all. The 22,500x potential is way above what you may be used to from this developer, and the instant scatter prize upgrade system is somewhat innovative. Overall, Ancient Disco is a strong release in the popular instant jackpot genre, and non-UK players will probably be pleased to learn that both guaranteed instant prize spins and the hold & win bonus round can be purchased.

The premium symbols pay between 4 and 25 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and there are no wild symbols in this game. The Prize Ladder above the reels should be a tell-tale sign of what you can expect in this game, and we’ll cover the details below.

You need at least 6 Ancient Disco Scatter symbols in view to win anything from the aforementioned Prize Ladder. More precisely, you win 5x, 15x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x, 750x, 1,250x, 2,500x your stake, respectively, from 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 Ancient Disco Scatters anywhere in sight.
The innovative twist is that you can upgrade all the instant jackpot prizes, and this is done by filling a reel or row with ancient disco scatters.
A full screen of nothing but disco scatters means 8 upgrades are possible, and the top prize can thus go as high as 22,500x your stake. Keep in mind, however, that all the instant prizes reset to their default values between spins.The Pyramid Spins Bonus Round triggers from 3, 4, or 5 1x2-sized pyramid spins scatter symbols in view. This gives you 3, 4, or 5 respins, respectively, and each triggering symbol is transformed into 2 ancient disco scatters. The scatters become sticky on an otherwise cleared grid, and only blanks or new scatters can land.
The respin tally resets for each new ancient disco scatter you land, and all new scatters that appear become sticky as well. Filling a reel with ancient disco symbols still upgrades all the prizes accordingly, and you win the corresponding prize according to how many ancient disco scatters you managed to rack up before your run out of respins.
The Bonus Buy feature is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure.
If available, you can pay 15x your regular stake for a spin that guarantees 6+ ancient disco symbols. You can also purchase the Pyramid Bonus Round for 90x the stake.The 200 Spins Ancient Disco Slot Experience
You get a brief taste of the base game, as nothing too memorable happened for us there. We purchase the Pyramid Bonus Round close to the 1-minute mark, and the feature plays out for the remainder of the 2:23-minute highlights video.

Review Summary
We have to say that we are positively surprised by the transformation Red Tiger has been going through lately, and we only hope they will also consider keeping the top-tier RTP above 96 %. Ancient Disco is a refreshing take on the ancient Egypt genre, which is filled to the brim with very similar visuals. Mixing modern with ancient has been done before, of course, but it still makes this installment stick out in a positive way.
It also represents a different approach from a developer that had got sort of stuck on a certain polished style. Finally, Red Tiger’s usually hard-to-trigger bonus round can be purchased (unless you live in the UK), and the bonus buy option is something we hope they implement in all their releases. The instant prize upgrade system is innovative, and the 22,500x top prize is higher than most competitor releases in the instant jackpot genre.
Pros
- Fill reels/rows to upgrade instant prizes
- Hold & Win bonus w/ upgradable prizes
- Win up to 22,500x from the top prize
Cons
- Top-tier RTP of 95.74 % (RTP ranges)
