Lord of the Sun Slot Machine - Play Lord of the Sun Slot Free

Lord of the Sun Review - Introduction

Egyptian-themed games are far from original, but Platipus has managed to keep Lord of the Sun feeling new. This slot’s appeal is in part down to its proliferation of bonus features, including the brilliant Golden Sun. The prize panel above the reels is difficult to miss. Collect enough scatter symbols and those prizes will drop onto the grid!

Lord of the Sun’s free spins round can award up to 30 free spins, again via scatters. Sliding Wilds function like expanding wilds, occasionally covering whole reels, and the slot has 30 paylines.

The paytable is a feast for Egyptophiles. The top-value wild appears alongside lucrative eagle, Eye of Horus, two types of Ankh and scarab symbols. Assorted pendants complete the set, but these are worth slightly less. Lord of the Sun has five reels, and you can expect to see three symbols per reel.

The desert and its many mysteries await at Platipus slots.

Theme, Graphics & Design

Egyptian themes are uniquely challenging for developers. There are more Egyptian-styled online slots than we dare try to count, so producing something original isn’t easy. This offering from Platipus distinguishes itself with a somewhat more brooding theme. 

Lord of the Sun puts more emphasis on building a sultry atmosphere (we could almost feel the heat radiating through the screen) than dazzling players with grandeur and treasure. Palm trees sway in the wind, the setting sun shimmers as though wrapped in a haze, and a solitary figure leads a camel across the sands.

Pyramids loom in the background, and everything is bathed in late evening crimson. The soundtrack builds and builds, with the occasional chant thrown in to heighten things still further. Lord of the Sun’s symbols are less inspiring, but the setting is more than enough to warrant a look.

Lord of the Sun RTP and Variance

We don't have a great deal of information on Lord of the Sun other than its RTP, which is 95%. The massive Grand Jackpot win of x100,000 is Lord of the Sun’s top prize, but you would need to be hugely lucky to win that.

How to play Lord of the Sun

1. All controls are laid out along the bottom of the screen. Working from left to right, begin with “menu” to peruse the paytable and bonuses.
2. Volume controls let you tinker with the sound levels.
3. The pile of coins will display a series of bet sizes. Simply pick the one you want.
4. If you would prefer to spin the reels automatically, you’ll find that the autoplay option is quite detailed. 100 spins can be set. You can choose balance limits, too.
5. Set a budget and click play to start your desert adventure!

Bet & Win Sizes

Lord of the Sun’s lowest stake is 0.01 and its maximum is 2. A top single line win of x100 is awarded for x5 Horus Wilds.

Let’s take a look across the rest of the paytable.

Five Horus wilds = x 100

Five eagles = x 60

Five Eyes of Horus = x 50

Five small Ankhs = x 50

Five full Ankhs = x 40

Five scarabs = x 40

Five red jewels = x 20

Five purple jewels = x 20

Five blue jewels = x 20

Five green jewels = x 20

You’ll have ample opportunity to string combinations together because Lord of the Sun sets its paylines at 30. 

Lord of the Sun bonus features

Even if Lord of the Sun's theme is familiar, you’ll be taken aback by the bonuses!

Here’s a guide.

Prize Panel

The Prize Panel is displayed above the reels. It shows different types of prizes on every spin, ranging from lump sum wins to free spins. You’ll need to land sun orb scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 to win a prize from the panel.

Free spins

Free rounds can be won via the Prize Panel. The most you can win is 30. If you land scatters again, the Prize Panel can retrigger free spins with up to 25 additional rounds!

Sliding Wilds

Any time a wild symbol lands, there’s a chance that the reels will shift up or down, changing the position of the wild. This only happens if better combinations will be formed as a result of the movement.

Jackpots

Jackpots will always be a rarity, but that only makes them more exciting! Lord of the Sun has three jackpots sizes as follows:

Grand Jackpot = x 100,000

Major Jackpot = x 5000

Minor Jackpot = x 1000

Mini Jackpot = x 500

Winning a jackpot requires two steps. First, you’ll have to land a scatter symbol on a reel that has “jackpot” listed directly above it. This launches the jackpot wheel. Spin it and see where you land!

Verdict

The presence of a x100,000 jackpot is certainly attention-grabbing, but Lord of the Sun includes enough brilliant features elsewhere to ensure that the slot isn’t too jackpot-focused.

The Prize Panel is a brilliant innovation. You’ll have to get lucky with your scatters, but seeing the potential prizes lined up above the grid makes them more palpable and each spin more suspenseful.

A final word has to go to the design. The crimson sands and shimmering evening light of Lord of the Sun are haunting and more than enough to lift this slot above the plethora of other Egyptian themes.

If the desert has left you spellbound, you can visit it again on the sizzling Pharaoh Sun slot.
