Sphinx Hijinx Slot Review 2024

Sphinx Hijinx

Sphinx Hijinx is a classic Cryptologic game, a slot with 3 reels and 1 payline. Despite being a classic it offers a wild feature and its payout goes up to $15,000.

As is the case with most 3 reel games from Cryptologic, this game also takes the form of an old style slot machine which tries to give the impression that it's located inside a bar or casino. You get that impression not only because of the slot's design which has the same buttons and layout of a classic machine, but also because it shows two other slots on the right and left sides. There is a bit of a theme going on as well, using images which are inspired by Ancient Egypt and especially by the Sphinx. The game symbols include this Sphinx in two of the top symbols, where one gives us the entire body while the other shows us just the head. The pyramid symbol is next and it's followed by the three Bar symbols which are classics by now.

The betting options of Sphinx Hijinx are easy enough to figure out, using 1 to 3 coins on the only payline available. Each of those three coins can be valued between $0.25 and $5. The resulting betting range is $0.25 to $15. As for the game's biggest possible payout, it will award 3000 coins to the player and it's worth up to $15,000.

The game doesn't seem to give the player any advantage for using a bigger number of coins. While most classic slots will give the player something extra for using 3 coins instead of 1 or 2, here we get the same amount per coin used. That top payout of 3000 coins which is offered for a 3 coin bet will be reduced to 2000 coins if 2 coins are used, and to 1000 coins if the bet had 1 coin.

The symbol with the Sphinx which is used to award the top jackpot is also the wild feature of this game. You will be able to create other combinations when this symbol is present on the payline if its presence can help the other symbols do that.

The symbol with the pharaoh is the second one on the paytable, offering 80 to 240 coins payouts. The third and last themed symbol of the slot is the one with the pyramid, offering 40 to 120 coins as prizes.

It's an OK game overall, which will give you all you need from a classic slot, including a decent payout.
