I am wondering if someone with knowledge in slot design can help answer a question i raised with 3Dice casino. I raised this issue with Andrea who then referred me to Anna. She done her best to help but said she honestly could not see the point I was making and it was then referred to Enzo but I have not had a reply so I figured I would post here and perhapes someone can tell me if I raised a valid point.
First of all I would just like to say im not out to attack 3Dice. They are currently my casino of choice and i've not had any problems with them. I dont wish to be seen as trying to "rock the boat" which is why I rasied this point with 3Dice first rather than post here.
I suggested to 3Dice that Tutankhamun appears to be a clone of Microgamings slot Isis. I was assured this is not possible because they run on different platforms. I feel that is irrelevant though because I am speaking about the design of the slot itself.
Isis is a 25 line slot which overs odds of 600/1 for hitting 5 scatters and awards 30 free spins. 4 scatters gives 25 free spins and pays 20/1 and 3 scatters gives 20 free spins pays 4/1. The wild symbol also doubles all wins. These rules are quite specific so it should be unlikely to find another slot using the exact same rules and payout values for the feature. But as many of you who play at 3Dice will know, this is exactly the same rules for Tutankhamun.

As 3Dice slots are designed by their own team I found it rather coincidental that they used these exact same rules and payout values for both scatters and wilds. It would not be so surprising is it was a standard 15 free spins at X3 multiplier because many slots have this same feature, however, I believe the rules for Isis are rather specific so it's unlikely for another slot designer to use these exact same rules.
I understand this alone is nothing to get too excited about but I then discovered that these slots also have the exact same paytables.

They are a perfect match. The only difference being the graphics display of each symbol. All rules, symbols and payout values are the same. They are the same game. The only difference being the order the symbols appear on the reels but since you can rearrange the symbols from each reel into any order and theoretically the payout will always be the same then I feel that is irrelevant.
If 3Dice slots are disigned by their own team from a "blank canvas" then surely the chances of designing the exact same slot are impossible. This is why I feel I did raise a valid point and now hopefully someone here can explain this to me.
Both games also happen to be Egyptian themed but that could always be a coincidence.
