The immense popularity of Egypt themed slot machines is perhaps due to a combination of factors

1. Egypt being one of the first known advanced civilizations
   • To add to that, there are many hard to explain aspects such as – How were the pyramids built? How were Egyptian arts and sciences so advanced? Why did Egyptians build such huge structures?
2. Egypt having a very, very rich and mysterious culture and history
   • The Pyramids
   • The Great Sphinx
   • All the theories and mysteries of the Pyramids being light and energy engines and their layout
   • Theories of Aliens building the Pyramids
3. Egypt being very important during the Roman empire with legends including Caesar and Cleopatra and Anthony and Cleopatra
   • There is not just one historic era, but actually two historic eras where Egypt was incredibly rich and significant
4. The immense number of Hollywood movies and general literature about Egypt
   • The west in general, including Hollywood and British TV and Cinema, have been fascinated with Egyptian culture
   • Egypt also appears very regularly across the last few hundred years in books and literature
5. The fascination in Europe and America with Pyramids, mummies, and Egyptian history
   • The amount of focus and coverage of the discoveries related to the Pyramids is unmatched
   • Things became even more crazy when some of the people who found the Egyption mummies started dying under strange circumstances
6. Egypt’s very rich mythology with fascinating Gods
7. Egypt themed casinos being very popular, including the Luxor casino in Las Vegas
   • Luxor, by the way, is very beautiful and an absolute must visit in you are in Vegas
8. The mysteries of the Pharaohs, their opulent lifestyle, and the dark secrets that were buried with them
9. The supposed curses for violating the sanctity of the tombs of the Egyptian Pharaoahs
   • This adds a dark and mysterious aspect that many other architectural marvels simply don’t have
   • The Taj Mahal might be more beautiful, but there is no curse and that ‘forbidden’ aspect is something only the Egyptian Pyramids have
10. The huge number of symbols linked to Egypt and Egyptian culture
    • These translate very well to Slot Machines
    • Architectural symbols such as Pyramids and The Great Sphinx
    • Mythological symbols such as the Egyptian Gods and religious symbols like The Ankh
    • Historical figures such as Queen Cleopatra
11. The richness and opulence of Egypt and of the Pharaoahs
    • Again, this translates very well to Slot Machines and to Casino culture

When you consider all the ways in which Egypt is unique and Egypt’s rich history & mythology, it begins to make sense why so many Slot Machines are inspired by Egypt and have Egyptian themes.
