With Riddle of the Sphinx by Red Tiger software you will first need to reply to Sphinx’s riddles in order to be granted entrance to these mysterious places!

This online title features a 5x4 board layout with 20 fixed paylines, colorful graphics and an impressive soundtrack.

As you look for precious treasure, you will also discover some special features – Dynasty Wild and Pharaoh Free Spins!

Theme and Symbols

Loading up this online game you are greeted by the majestic view of desert, as well as the pyramids that are rising up from the sands.

Across the reels you will discover symbols such as ankhs, hand-fans, eyes of Horus and golden scarabs, all awarding more lucrative payouts should you manage to land at least 3 of a kind.

While the lower paying symbols do appear on the reels in the more common form of card royals A-10, they still fit perfectly with the theme thanks to the small details that each of these symbols comes with.

Betting Options and Other Functions

Unfortunately, as we get to the betting options, things take a turn for the worse for this online one-armed bandit as the betting options are somewhat limiting.

The betting range starts at only 0.20 credits, which will certainly be warmly welcomed by the players who prefer exploring the reels with lower stakes, while high-rollers might be disappointed with the fact that the maximum bet is set to 10 credits.

However, despite not coming with the higher betting options, payout potential is still pretty good, thanks to a theoretical return to player of 95.66%, as well as the highest potential win that awards a hefty payout of 8,000 times your stake!

Special Features

When it comes to the special features, you won’t find that many of them available, but the ones that are there are pretty decent.

First we have the Dynasty Wild – a 1x2 Pharaoh that will turn all adjacent into Wild Symbols, greatly increasing your odds of turning your spin into a winning one!

Then we have the Pharaoh Free Spins that are triggered by landing at least 3 Scatters that can be found on reels 1, 3 and 5.

Before you start with the spins you will have 4 different options: 6 Spins with x8 Multiplier Wilds, 12 Spins with x4 Multiplier Wilds, 24 Spins with x2 Multiplier Wilds and, lastly, random amount of spins with Multiplier Wilds that also come with a random multiplier value.

Verdict

All said and done, Red Tiger managed to do a great job with Riddle of the Sphinx, further expanding their lengthy portfolio with an Egyptian themed online slot.

While some players might find the lack of higher betting options a bit worrying, thanks to the great payout potential, it’s a bit easier to get over that flaw.

If you ever wondered about all the secrets that remain hidden in pyramids and tombs, now you have the chance to discover them yourself!
