The reels are set in front of the entrance of the ancient Ra temple. Now, if you were an Egyptian, I wouldn’t advise you to come in because of the curse, of course. Luckily for you, most of the action takes place outside. So, even if I don’t believe that Ra’s curse would affect Kiwis, it is better to stay outside, eh?
The 2 Anubis statues look a bit sus. Yes, they are made of stone, but I have watched too many movies about cursed temples where statues come to life or shoot deadly things from their jade eyes. Take care, just in case.
It seems that Ra and Anubis have made a secret pact and that they are plotting against Egyptians in the Curse of Ra pokie machine. Don’t worry, they will not plot against you. In fact, they will make very good allies, since they are the 2 top-paying regular symbols in the Four Leaf Gaming title.
The Eye of Ra and the ankh will also appear on the grid. The golden scarab is the Wild that substitutes for all regular icons. The jade scarab acts as a Scatter that triggers free spins. Also, you will land plenty of gold coins. Classic playing cards are used for low-paying icons.
The rules of the game are as simple as breathing. Even so, you must follow them strictly if you want to succeed. Curse of Ra slot is played on a 5×3 grid and benefits from 20 fixed paylines, which pay left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel.
3-of-a-kind is the minimum for landing payouts. Each spin will cost you 20 coins. You can alter the coin value, wagering between $0.20 and $100 per spin. The Four Leaf gaming title is of medium to high volatility and offers a 10,000x max payout. Curse of Ra RTP is 96.00%.
In most of the flicks where handsome daredevils explore the cursed temples of Ancient Egypt, there is plenty of action and loads of tasks that you need to follow in order to get to the main prize. Well, you will not get shot by poisonous darts or get your head severed if you make a wrong step in this temple.
You will need to look for scarabs. One kind of scarabs acts as Wilds, while the other triggers the Free Spins feature. You also have the Guaranteed Win feature where you will experience the Symbol Shuffle. Free spins come with certain boosters and you can also activate some of the features yourself. Of course, for a certain price.
On a non-winning spin in the base game, the Guaranteed Win feature may trigger randomly. Basically, the symbols on the reels will perform a shuffle. They will switch places so as to create a winning combination. I experienced this feature several times and never got a big win. The most I won was 5x.
When you land 3, 4, or 5 scarab Scatters on the reels, you trigger 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. In the beginning, you get 1 Transferring Wild that switches places after every free spin. Also, you will collect Scatters during the feature. For every 3 collected Scatters, you get 3 extra free spins and another improved Wild.
Each new Transferring Wild that appears carries a win multiplier. The second comes with a 2x multiplier, the third with a 3x multiplier, then 5x and 10x. You activate each following Wild Multiplier after collecting 3 Scatters. The best part of the story is that you get to keep the previously activated Multiplier Wilds. Not bad, eh?
I triggered the feature with 3 Scatters and managed to collect 6 additional Scatters during the feature. This got me 16 free spins in total and 3 Transferring Wilds, 2 of which had 2x and 3x multipliers. In the end, my total win was a solid 106x.
Now, before you begin the Free Spins feature, you can spin the Wheel and get more free spins, or lose free spins. I don’t like that, so I used what I got from the triggering Scatters. Also, in the end, you can gamble your winnings to get another round of free spins.
This feature can be triggered any time you land a golden coin. You spin the Prize Wheel and can get cash prizes of up to 5,000x, up to 25 free spins, or up to 25 Nitro Spins. In return, Nitro Spins offer more Scatters, increase your chances of triggering the Guaranteed Win feature, and also trigger the Super Spinner feature more frequently.
In most cases, I got a cash prize. My biggest win was 120x. On one occasion, I triggered 15 free spins, but these are not regular free spins as in the Free Spins feature. No, you just get normal spins from the base game, you just don’t pay for them. Frankly, I was a bit disappointed with that.
This option allows you to activate Nitro Spins, buy the Free Spins feature, or activate the Super Spinner. This is why you collect golden coins. Each Nitro Spin requires 4 golden coins. Activating both free spins and the Super Spinner requires 3 coins and around 75x the bet. In most cases, you will win less than you paid for.
Let me tell you something – I had so much fun hunting flying scarabs! Even though it takes time to trigger free spins, if you are persistent, you will be rewarded for your trouble.
However, it may happen that the Transferring Wilds end up on the last 2 reels. This can be frustrating from time to time.
However, when they land on the first 3 reels, you are in for a treat! Especially when they come as Wild Multipliers.
The Guaranteed win feature is a neat addition to the story, giving you some decent payouts. Being a huge fan of Ancient Egypt, I love a good pokie that takes me to the Land of the Pharaohs.
I rate Curse of Ra 7.0.
