Eagle Sun

Designed by an Australian iGaming studio named Lightning Box, here's a new game with a modern design and an older theme, called Eagle Sun.

Head out west in a Native American themed title and enjoy the recognizable imagery with swarms of eagles and warm colours.

Mixing symbols and imagery from classic slot icons to Native American characteristics…

...the developer has attached several new extras on to freshen up the experience!

It is a 5x4 game with 40 fixed pay lines in the base game, and double the game area and 80 active lines for free spins.

You will get wilds, scatters, free spins, respins and Super Eagle Spins, all among the game’s major features.

This title comes with an RTP of 95.76% and is of HIGH volatility.

Theme & Design

Eagle Sun comes with a serious Indian theme and the reels set against a desert backdrop with majestic red mountains.

Lightning Box studio designed a title inspired by Native Americans and their culture, taking place in a Native American tribe’s community.

All of the familiar images are here: priests, warriors, tribal drums, and of course, dream catchers!

The three-character symbols are wearing elaborate headdresses and jewelry full of different colours.

Amongst teepees and bonfires, you will find a game grid with five reels and four rows...

...with a setup slightly larger than usual.

The background shows peaceful and harmonious, beaming sunlight with mountains and bushes around the reels and...

...the soundtrack is in theme too, with soothing Native American music complementing the pastoral scene.

Betting Options

When it comes to the game grid, Eagle Sun has two modes – base and double game.

During the base game, the title has 5 reels, 4 rows, and 40 ways to win.

BUT!

Prizes can look particularly interesting during free spins...

...where there are 80 lines to use, rather than 40 in the base game.

Bets start relatively high at 40 c/p and go up in increments of 40 before topping out at £/€160 per spin.

Unfortunately, the game’s RTP is a bit below average, and the max win potential is 1,400 times your stake.

The paytable splits symbols into low and high paying groups.

The low pay symbols are 10 to A royals which have little decorations on them like feathers and necklaces.

The high paying symbols are all Native American icons such as a dream catcher, drums, a lady, a warrior, and a paramount chief.

The chief has the highest value at 6.25 times the stake for five of a kind.

There are two wilds, an eagle wild and a landscape wild and they pay 17.5x for 5 on a pay line.

Both payout in combinations of 2 or more and substitute for any other regular pay symbol.

Eagle Sun Special Features

There are two wild symbols in Eagle Sun...

...the eagle wild and the desert wild symbol.

Both wild symbols can substitute any symbol other than the bonus symbol and the Eagle Spin symbol.

The bonus symbol is the eagle idol which also acts as a scatter symbol.

During the base game...

...you can benefit from a Respins feature that is triggered every time you land the Eagle Spin symbol!

During the respins you will only land either blank symbols or wild eagle symbols and the respins last as long as you keep landing eagle symbols.

All the wilds you collect during the respins feature will be scattered randomly across the reels, and a payout is calculated.

You need to land at least 3 scatter symbols on the same spin to trigger the free spins feature. You will get 7, 12 or 16 free spins, respectively, when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters.

The reel set will now expand to 8 rows in height, and 80 ways to win instead of the regular 40 pay lines!

Not bad at all!

Whenever you land a wild symbol during the free spins feature, it will be collected in a meter.

When all your spins have played out, you will be given one last Super Eagle Spin.

On this spin, all the collected wilds will land on the reels, and this will usually give you a very nice final payout.

You can also get 5 extra free spins during this feature.

Conclusion

Eagle Sun is a well-made Native American inspired slot with authentic symbols and a realistic atmosphere.

Though, the payouts are quite weak for this kind of volatility, with the RTP below average...

...the title's majestic scenery and interesting features will certainly provide you with enough entertainment.
