Egyptian Sun

An Ancient Egypt-themed online slot is far from being a novelty in the world of slot titles, and the common 5x3 layout is anything but groundbreaking.

However, when done well, it is admirable what a simple layout and a well-known theme can achieve and that is certainly the case with the video slot game called Egyptian Sun.

iGaming software developer RubyPlay is the company that brought this stunning and well-developed Ancient Egypt-themed game.

Theme

The background depicts nature that is noticeably more lush than is the case with most Egyptian-themed video slots. Instead of a simple background, sandy dunes and pyramids, green grass and potted palms can be seen under the blue sky.

Two sand-colored stone pillars are decorated with vibrantly gold, red, and blue rings and the slot machine is accordingly colorful. The golden-rimmed greed rolls symbols such as Sphynx, Scarab bug, Ankh, pharaoh, and Egyptian queen, alongside the Royal symbols.

Flamboyant greens, blues, reds, and purples combine perfectly with the ever-present golden embroidery.

The fittingly Eastern music, while being minimalist with the repeating leitmotif, still never becomes dull or over-the-top, and combines perfectly with the overall atmosphere of the game.

Betting Options and Functions

The betting range goes from a minimum of €0.20 to a maximum of €200.00 on 243 betways, with the maximum win standing at the value of x500 of the total bet.

The RTP stands at 96.44%, which falls at the standard value in the industry.

The variance is medium, and indeed, the game seems well-balanced.

Features

When it comes to the features present in this title, the titular yellow sun triggers the Repeat Riches respin feature, whenever six or more such symbols land on the reels. Additionally, the yellow sun delivers a prize that falls anywhere from x0.2 up to x50 of the placed wager.

During the respins feature, the number of five extra spins is rewarded, and yellow suns that triggered it remain in the position while other positions start spinning additional sun symbols, ranging in color. Each of these suns that land, retain their position until the end of the respins.

The purple sun is higher-paying than the yellow sun, while the orange sun covers the entire sum of yellow sun rewards and the red one does the same with both yellow, orange, and purple sun symbols, containing the sum of their rewards, including the other red suns.

If all 15 positions are covered by the sun symbols, the Pharaoh Jackpot that delivers the prize of x500 of the total bet will be won. Lastly, the 1+ symbol present during the respin feature will grant one more additional respin.

The pharaoh is a Wild symbol, which is to say that it substitutes for any other symbol in the game, except for the yellow sun and other-colored of the Repeat Riches respins feature. 

To Conclude

Egyptian Sun can stand proudly among other RubyPlay’s slot releases, as it is a video slot that is in every way well-created and well-thought-out.

From the balanced playthrough and simple yet effective mechanics, to the stunning visuals and the promise of a hefty jackpot prize, this is another Ancient Egypt-themed slot that encapsulates the theme perfectly but also makes for an engaging and exciting experience.
