Wings of Ra - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

You might think you've had enough of Egyptian-themed slots, but this 3x5 offering from Red Tiger adds yet another twist to the pool. Wings of Ra combines high volatility with a 94.7% RTP to give you the opportunity for big wins. This slot has ten paylines where you can win both ways as well as free games and Mystery Coins.

Wings of Ra Game Theme

We've all seen Egyptian-themed slots before, so we know what to expect in terms of background and themed symbols. Wings of Ra doesn't particularly stand out in this regard, as it makes use of familiar icons such the Pharaoh and the Eye of Ra. You can also see the entrance to the pyramid or tomb in the background.

If you're wondering about Ra, well, he was the God of the Sun in Ancient Egypt. His place at the head of the pantheon is part of the reason he's one of the most popular Egyptian gods to appear in slots, as in Book of Ra Deluxe free. He also took the form of a falcon, which is why his wings are so important.

Wings of Ra Graphics & Sound

These may be familiar symbols, but they are of decent quality with 3D rendering in the background and the gold gleaming on the reels. There are also animations on winning spins to make everything a little more fun. In the background there's a tinkling and thematically appropriate soundtrack that invites you to explore, just like in all those movies about uncovering ancient treasures.

How to Play Wings of Ra

This slot definitely goes for the minimalist layout to help you keep in clear control of your game. There's no excess of buttons to confuse you. All you need is to adjust your stake to your preferred amount by using the neat controls at the bottom left of the reels, then click the unmissable spin button, large and bright on the other side of the screen. There are autoplay and turbo buttons, both also spaced out and easy to find. You don't even have to struggle to find the settings and paytable, as they appear automatically when the game first loads, and you have the choice to scroll through them or not.

That's how to familiarize yourself with the game and how to play - the next thing is to figure out how to win. It's easy enough: just match adjacent symbols on one of the ten paylines. There's no Wild, which is unusual, but the Free Spins Scatter can trigger a bonus round and with it the chance for Mystery Coins.

Bet Sizes & Maximum Win for Wings of Ra

The opportunity to win 3166x your original bet means that a maximum wager of 20 could lead to a very impressive reward of 63,320. Yes, there are slots with higher top prizes, but it's still enough to make most players very happy. Just remember that there are no guarantees you will hit a maximum win.

Your highest-paying symbol is the Pharaoh himself. Below him are the other Egyptian-themed symbols and below them familiar cards symbols that you might see in any slot. It's the combination of top symbol and top bet that leads to big wins (there's no separate jackpot here), but that does mean employing a riskier strategy for an outcome you can't guarantee.

Wings of Ra Bonus Features & Free Spins

The mechanism for triggering free spins is easy enough to understand, though it might not be quite as easy to put into practice. The Free Spins symbol very kindly labels itself as such. All you need to do is hit it three or more times. Where it gets interesting is when you start collecting Mystery Coins in the free spins round.

First, your existing low-paying symbols will start turning into Mystery Coins. As they do so, you'll fill a progress bar. When that bar is complete, all the Mystery Coins you currently have sitting on the reels will turn into the same symbol. Now, that could potentially mean a very big payout for all those matching symbols.

Wings of Ra RTP & Variance

RTP stands for Return to Player, and it indicates the average win you can expect from a bet of 100. In the case of Wings of Ra, it's a solid 94.7%, which would generally indicate a decent return. Just remember, this isn't a guaranteed win. It's an average calculated over many games and could easily be thrown by even one unusual round.

The other important figure when setting your expectations for winning is volatility or variance. This is about the frequency of your wins, and as Wings of Ra is a high-volatility slot, you may have to wait a while before any prizes join your balance. Luckily, when the rewards do come they are likely to be much higher than in a low-volatility slot, where wins are frequent but small.

Wing of Ra Conclusion

This isn't the slot for high-rollers, with the maximum bet being quite low despite the high volatility. The lack of a Wild is also strange. It does, however, stand out somewhat for its Mystery Coin feature, which shows up in the always welcome free spins round. It is very satisfying when your screen fills with Mystery Coins which in turn disappear to reveal one potentially high-paying symbol. There are plenty of other Red Tiger slots online if you want to compare it to other offerings.
