Game Rules & Mechanics

Master the ancient secrets of Sun of Egypt slot gameplay

Complete Game Rules Guide

Basic Game Structure

Sun of Egypt features a standard 5-reel, 3-row grid layout with 10 fixed paylines. Paylines run from left to right, and winning combinations require matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. The game uses a fixed bet system where all 10 paylines are always active.

Symbol Values and Payouts

The game includes eight regular symbols plus wild and scatter symbols. Lower-value symbols (9, 10, J, Q, K, A) offer payouts ranging from 5x to 25x your stake for five matching symbols. Higher-value thematic symbols (Scarab, Ankh, Pharaoh Mask) pay between 50x and 200x for five matches. The Sun God symbol is the highest paying, offering 500x your stake for five symbols.

Wild Symbol Functionality

The Wild symbol substitutes for all regular symbols to help form winning combinations. It appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 only. Wilds cannot substitute for Scatter symbols. When wilds contribute to a winning combination, they pay at the same rate as the symbol they're replacing.

Scatter Symbols and Free Spins

The Pyramid symbol acts as the Scatter. Landing three or more scatters anywhere on the reels triggers the Free Spins bonus round. Three scatters award 10 free spins, four scatters award 12 free spins, and five scatters award 15 free spins. During free spins, a special expanding symbol is randomly selected that can cover entire reels when it appears.

Expanding Symbols Feature

Before free spins begin, one regular symbol is randomly chosen to become an expanding symbol. When this symbol appears during free spins, it expands to cover the entire reel, significantly increasing winning potential. If multiple expanding symbols land on different reels, they can create massive payouts across multiple paylines.

Gamble Feature

After any winning spin, players can choose to gamble their winnings. The gamble feature presents a card guessing game where players predict whether the next card will be red or black. A correct guess doubles the winnings, while an incorrect guess loses the entire amount. Players can gamble up to five times consecutively.

Autoplay Functionality

The game includes an autoplay feature that allows between 10 and 100 automatic spins. Players can set loss limits, single win limits, and stop conditions for the autoplay feature. Autoplay automatically stops when free spins are triggered or when any stop condition is met.

Betting Options

The coin value ranges from $0.01 to $1.00, with bets per line adjustable from 1 to 10 coins. This creates a total bet range of $0.10 to $100 per spin. The game remembers your bet settings between sessions for convenience.
