The Mummy is a video slot game released by Playtech under
license to Universal Studios. The game is based on the first two
Mummy movies starring Brendan Fraser, “The Mummy” and “The Mummy
Returns”. These movies were loosely based on the 1932 Boris
Karloff classic, “The Mummy”.
You can also get the free games bonus symbol or the ‘Mummy Hunt’ bonus symbol assigned from the Lost City bonus game. When you hit the free spins on reels 1, 3 and 5 you go to a new set of reels with the blue sky behind and 9 slots to the left. The reels will spin 5 times, and each time a mummy appears, one of the slots will be filled.
In both versions of the story an ancient Egyptian named
ImHoTep is buried alive in a sarcophagus for sacrilege. The
original movie was loosely based on a short story titled
“Cagliostro” by Nina Wilcox Putnam, many of whose stories were
turned into movies. Putnam’s story was about an Egyptian
magician who survived to modern times (through nitrate
injections) to use his great knowledge to conduct robberies.
Writer John L. Balderston, who as a journalist covered the
opening of King Tut’s tomb in 1922, turned Putnam’s short story
into the screenplay for the Karloff movie.
The movie opens with a citation from the fictional “Scroll of
Thoth”. This name was used by Robert E. Howard in his first
Conan story, published in 1932. The 1999 movie replaced the
scroll with the Book of the Dead.
