The technology, language, and spirituality of Ancient Egypt continue to fascinate modern audiences, as fact demonstrated by the abundance of Egyptian-themed slots on the market today. Push Gaming turns its attention to one area of focus within this world – it’s chief deity – in Blaze of Ra. A massively profitably bonus game leads the way in this slot, where three reels are taken up entirely by wild symbols.
Theme
A mighty desert wind blows across the background in this slot, with the majestic figure of Ra looking on at the reels and massive pyramids standing behind them in the blazing sun. Amidst warm tones, the cool turquoise of the reels sets the eye at ease. Gaming symbols include Ra, acting as wild, as well as Anubis, the dog deity, and Bastet, the cat, as well as the ankh, the Eye of Horus, a lotus blossom, and the playing card symbols ace through jack. A gold and red scarab acts as scatter, opening the way to free spins.
Betting Options and Functions
Great slots and Great Pyramids both require inspired architecture and attention to detail, with Push Gaming delivering in this regard in Blaze of Ra. There are 40 fixed paylines, each paying from left to right, with total per-spin bet set simply from 0.20–100.00 times the betting currency. Autospins are available for up to 100 spins at a time, with optional stops built in for adjustable total loss or single win limits. Payable information, sound options, and detailed game rules are available on separate screens. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is excellent at 96.40%.
Features
The design team offers two bonus features here, both of which are potentially lucrative. The nudging wilds feature takes place when one or more of the Ra wild symbols appear in the top three positions of one or more reels. After the reels have stopped spinning and payouts are awarded, the wild reel “nudges” down by one position, then remains in place while the other reels spin again.
More than in most slots, however, it’s the free spins that really make this game special, as well where the best chances to win are found. Free spins are awarded by the appearance of three or more of the scarab scatter symbols on the reels. Each scarab will reveal a number, the sum of which will equal the number of free spins awarded, up to a maximum of ten. During free spins, the Wild Blaze feature is activated: reels one, three, and five will be entirely taken up by stacked wilds for the duration of the feature, guaranteeing major wins. Finally, scarabs remain on the reels during free spins, adding to the number of freebies awarded each time one appears.
Our Take
Had Push Gaming built Blaze of Ra with only average bonuses, this title would be worthy of a few minutes of players’ time, but not really remarkable. However, thanks to the wildly lucrative free spin feature, this slot is sure to be a favorite of many players for quite some time.
