Dawn of Egypt - Play’n Go Launches Another Impressive New Slot
Play’n Go has added Dawn of Egypt to its collection of 3D-animated slots. Set in ancient Egypt, the game features 5 reels, 10 pay lines, detailed visuals and several features, including a free spins round.
Egyptian settings continue to be a familiar choice for slot developers. Play’n Go draws on that tradition with a video slot set amid the sandy deserts of North Africa.
Dawn of Egypt features Ra, the sun god of ancient Egyptian culture, Ankh, the symbol of life, and Sekhmet, the revered warrior goddess. Its 5-reel layout has 10 pay lines, high variance gameplay and a stated RTP of 96.23% for winning combinations.
Despite having 10 pay lines, the game is described in the review as fast-paced, with opportunities to form wins in both the base game and the free spins round. The review credits Play’n Go’s feature mix with bringing variety to the action.
A glowing red pyramid is one of the game’s key symbols. It serves as the Dawn of Egypt wild and scatter, and its top-paying combination matches Ra’s payout. The pyramid can substitute for 10 regular symbols on the reels; 5 wild scatters on a pay line award 1,000x the ‘bet per line’.
The wild symbol also starts the ‘Wheel of Ra’ when 2 appear anywhere on the reels. The feature awards free spins with a ‘Symbol Upgrade’ feature.
A glowing green pyramid acts as another scatter. Landing 5 anywhere on the reels can award up to 1,000x the ‘total spin’ bet. This payout is calculated from the ‘total spin bet’, unlike the wild-symbol combination, which uses the ‘bet per line’. As a result, its 5-symbol scatter is the slot’s highest-paying reward.
Landing 3 or more green pyramid scatters also triggers the ‘Wheel of Ra’, awarding between 3 and 20 free spins.
With 2 scatter symbols in play, the required combination can activate the free spins bonus, where symbols upgrade automatically after each spin. Each free spin creates a symbol set that transforms into higher-paying symbols, and the feature is said to guarantee players high wins on their Egyptian adventure.
