Guardian of Ra - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Guardian of Ra is an online video slot added to the Red Rake stable of games in March 2022. It is played on a 5x3 reel set which generates 30 fixed bet ways which pay left to right. Three or more beetle symbols will trigger free spins and this symbol is the top payer. During free spins some of the regular paying symbols may be wild on the centre reels.

Locked gold coins can trigger re-spins. Wheel symbols that appear during locked spins award spins on the Locked Spins Wheel and mini, minor and major prizes can be won.
A wild substitutes for all symbols other than the beetle, coin and wheel symbols, and is also a paying symbol.

Other than the wild and scatter, there are four paying pictorial symbols: Sehkmet, lotus flower, lion and cat. These are supplemented by six playing card symbols ranging from ace to nine.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack 

The story behind the slot is that of Sehkmet, protector of the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, and the daughter of the Sun God Ra. The game and its symbols have a beautiful design and the soundtrack is a thunderous tune worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster.

Guardian of Ra Bonus Locked Gold Coins and Free Spins 

The Locked Gold Coins and Locked Gold Wheel symbols remain fixed on the reels for three re-spins. Although fixed, they do not prevent winning lines being formed since regular symbols which fall behind them are shown and can create winning lines. Four different kinds of coins including wheel coins. Land six coins and you enter Locked Spins. Three re-spins are awarded then when another coin appears will re-set re-spins to three. The sequence ends when re-spins end or when all fifteen places are filled with coins when you will be awarded the grand prize.

Three or more Beetle symbols trigger free spins during which symbols can transform into wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4. Locked Spins can trigger during this feature.

Guardian of Ra Review 

There are plenty of features to keep the player entertained during this game, and most players will find it an attractive diversion. The bet spread is good too, and could attract high rollers.

The RTP is disappointing for a recent game. It is below industry average at the current time. 

One of the main attractions is the Locked Gold Coins phase where cash prizes and re-spins kick in prolonging the action and building rewards. We feel we can recommend the game, despite the RTP, since the features are interesting and rewarding.
