We have seen many depictions of Ancient Egypt in slot games, and most of them portray this kingdom as having colourful surroundings, with palms and breathtaking structures. That is precisely where 3 Oaks is taking us.
Sunlight Princess Hold and Win boasts exceptional visuals, with the reels set against a typical Egyptian backdrop. As soon as I started spinning the reels, I encountered pyramids, palm trees, and temple columns.
The design of symbols matches the theme. While low-value icons don’t illustrate this claim, the higher ends of the paytable feature snake amulets, dove necklaces, ankhs, and cats. The princess assumes the role of Wild, and Temple Scatter and Sun Bonus round up the list of available icons.
Sunlight Princess Hold and Win uses a typical reel setup. If you are unfamiliar with what it means, expect 5 reels and 3 rows. Additionally, you will find 30 fixed paylines. At least 3 matching symbols are needed to form a winning combination, paying from 2x to 12x the stake for 5 of a kind.
This Egyptian adventure is highly volatile, with a below-average RTP of 95.52%. To spin the reels, you must pay at least $0.25, while $20 is the maximum amount of money you can spend per spin. High volatility has its pitfalls, but in this case, the win potential exceeding 10,000x will appeal even to the most demanding players.
Sunlight Princess Hold and Win is more than just nicely designed visuals. The game is packed with features, providing plenty of chances to get your hands on some dosh.
The rules for triggering free spins are relatively simple. All you have to do is land 3 Scatters in the base game, and you will receive 8 free spins. While the feature is active, only high-paying symbols appear on the reels, leading to bigger payouts.
Landing 3 Scatters within the feature retriggers the round, granting additional 8 spins.
Landing 6 or more Bonus icons unlocks the Bonus Game. During the round, you will see only Bonus, Super Bonus, and Mystery symbols on the reels.
Every time a Bonus symbol lands, it boosts the odds of activating the Extra Bonus Game. The best part about it is that this feature is available in both the base game and during Free Spins.
Getting 5 or more Bonus Symbols and a Super Bonus Symbol is a bit difficult, but gaining access to the Super Bonus Game is worth the wait.
Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand Bonus symbols randomly appear in the Bonus Game to award a corresponding prize. I was hoping Lady Luck would be on my side, but I guess she was busy the whole day. Bonus icons in all 15 positions award the Royal Jackpot, worth a massive 10,000x the bet!
These symbols offer vital help for claiming a fixed jackpot, as they can turn into triggering symbols. They only land during the Bonus Game, which is perfectly fine since Mini, Major, Grand, and Super Bonus Symbols also land exclusively in this round.
In terms of the theme, Sunlight Princess Hold and Win doesn’t bring anything new, although the visuals are well-executed. As soon as I triggered free spins, I noticed a welcome twist: no low-value symbols. This may not seem much, but it significantly impacts the feature’s win potential.
Fixed jackpots are another exciting part of the experience. Claiming them is everything but easy, but 3 Oaks made sure you receive some help in the form of Mystery Symbols. The biggest prize, the Royal Jackpot, motivated me to keep playing, offsetting the effects of high volatility.
At the same time, the pokie’s math model is its main downfall. Those NZ players lacking experience will be discouraged to try it, although some may be lured by the prizes mentioned above. All in all, I had a blast, and so will you, no matter whether you end up winning or not. So, I rate Sunlight Princess Hold and Win 8.2.
