Gold of Ra (Octavian) - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Gold of Ra throws its hat into the ring of enduringly popular Egyptian themed games. The graphics are solid and the theming is strong, but what really sets this game apart are the bonus features on offer. With no less than five bonuses to play for, plus random multipliers and high paying symbols in the base game, the scene is set for an exciting play session.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

Gold of Ra is an Ancient Egyptian themed slot game featuring all the symbols we have become accustomed to in similarly themed games such as Cleopatra, Temple of Ausar, Eye of Horus and Book of Ra Deluxe slot.

The reels, which resemble stone tiles, sit between two pillars adorned with hieroglyphics and ancient symbolism. Flames flicker consistently at the base of the reels while the golden pyramid directly underneath the start button constantly rotates. These moving elements make the game come alive and the golden shades that are used throughout add to the opulent, luxurious feel of the game. 

The soundtrack, although befitting in style, is repetitive and rather irritating after only a short while so the mute button might be in order here. With the music turned off, and the sound effects left on, the whole thing becomes much more palatable with the satisfying dull thud of the reels landing and pleasing celebratory sounds whenever there is a win or the chance of a feature. 

Gold of Ra RTP and Variance

The RTP on Gold of Ra is 96% with a low volatility that, theoretically, gives plenty of small wins along the way. It is worth noting that the bonus feature can be difficult to trigger so stamina and patience are required, so bear this in mind when choosing a stake level.
