Ra's Legend

In order to have an Egyptian-themed game that breaks out of the pack of all of the other Egyptian-themed slots in the industry, you have to bring excellent graphics, features and gameplay. Ra's Legend by Red Tiger Gaming has been able to do just that with their plethora of features they have packed into this slot. The visual appeal is outstanding as well, and regular gameplay is designed to give a high hit-rate. They've managed to stand out among many other games with related themes with this slot, and it's designed in a way that it will appeal to a lot of different types of players.

Game Layout

Most online slots that use 40 paylines have five reels and four rows instead of the more often used 5x3 format. Along these lines, this slot is 5x4 with 40 paylines. Something that's really cool about the betting setup is that they allow you to effectively use coins that are worth $0.005 apiece, so the minimum bet size is only $0.20. This is half of the normal minimum bet size for games with this number of paylines. The maximum bet will depend on where you're playing because casinos have the ability to set their own maximums, but the maximum wager size the game allows is $500 per spin.

The Reels of Gold Feature

Starting with features that affect regular gameplay, we have the Reels of Gold feature. The way this feature works is that it's triggered at random before a spin. Two reels are chosen at random, and those reels turn gold. On golden reels, you will not receive any low-paying symbols. This helps to maximize your chances of hitting high-end payouts, and that's a cool way of boosting your average win without forcing you to get into some kind of bonus round.

The Sacred Wild Symbols

Also at random, you can get the sacred wild symbols. They can lock into place on a reel for a set number of spins, and that means you'll have a guaranteed wild for those spins on that entire reel. This covers all four spots on the vertical column of symbols, and there will be a number listed on the reel that tells you how many spins are left with that wild in place. Make sure to never end your session with wilds waiting to be used if you can help it because they add a lot of value.

House of Ra Bonus Round

There is a huge temple built on top of the reels in this game, and it's called the House of Ra. In this feature, you'll have a chance to win up to 800x. You'll trigger it by getting three of the House of Ra pyramid symbols on the reels at the same time. This is a pretty solid bonus round that is based around the theme of the game, but there's not really that much interaction. You essentially make your choices in the game and then see what kind of prize you get.

Wheel Bonus Feature

A different feature that requires three bonus symbols is the Wheel Bonus round. Three of the Wheel Bonus symbol, naturally enough, will trigger this feature. You'll see a wheel spin and give you a win that's a multiple of your entire bet. Some pretty significant payouts can be had here, and some of them are among the largest wins available in the entire game.

Top Prizes and Payouts

Five of the wild symbol awards 1,200x since it substitutes for the Eye of Ra, which is a gold and purple decorative eye symbol that also pays 1,200x for five of a kind. Five of the golden bird pays out 480x, and you can get 360x for five of the green and gold scarab beetle symbol. The ankh symbol pays 240x, and it looks like a silver cross with golden trim and a hoop at the top.

The card rank symbols pay between 120x for five of the red A and 64x for five of the orange 10. None of the payouts for five are particularly low, which is a weakness a number of other games in the Egyptian genre have shown.

Overview

The graphics of the Ra's Legend slot are the first thing that you'll notice because they pop out and get your attention so well. It's also easy to see how many features are just packed into this game, and the regular pay table is solid and balanced as well. This game has everything it needs to give players a good experience along these lines.
