Sun of Egypt Pokie Review

Honest Sun of Egypt Pokie Review

Egyptian-themed slots are a safe bet nowadays in the iGaming industry, with providers often creating them when stuck. Some suppliers made excellent franchises, others had one-hit wonders, while the rest made generic pokies. I am sorry to say Sun of Egypt belongs to the last category.

However, it does not mean I did not have a good time playing it. On the contrary, I had some great sessions, even grabbing the Mini Jackpot prize in the process. Granted, some dead spins were there, too, but I had many exciting rounds while on the edge of my seat.

Desert Treasures

It was clear what I could expect regarding the gameplay after a few spins. With the decent but unoriginal base game, the main goal was to trigger one of the two bonus features. 3 Oaks spiced things up a bit in those rounds, but I was not swept off my feet.

It looks as if Sun of Egypt developers were happy to create an average game. They were OK in their comfort zone with a couple of familiar features, not going too far. However, they did not step up when the game should have offered better numbers and bigger excitement. Still, some players will like it precisely for what it is, but I am not the one.

Heaps of little flaws exist, but the glaring ones include the low RTP and the low maximum win. It seems impossible to win substantial amounts of money, or at least it was like that with me. Sun of Egypt has its qualities, but the drawbacks make it mediocre.

Go Down, Moses

The action occurs on a standard playing area with 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 paylines. The medium-to-high variance indicates considerable wins that do not come too often. I received a few hefty payouts, including the Mini Jackpot, but it was nothing too thrilling.

A golden mask is the most lucrative symbol in the paytable, granting 10x the stake for a full line of 5. Other premium symbols include an ankh, an eye of Horus, and a crown, awarding 8x, 6x, and 4x for 5, respectively. Wilds replace regulars in winning combos, while Scatters trigger the Free Spins round.

I got the ball rolling for only $0.25. The maximum bet you can place is $60. The scope is pretty broad and attractive, but a low maximum win can make or break a game. I would not say the top win of 1,000x the stake broke Sun of Egypt, but it could have been much better.
