Might of Ra

With the Pyramid of Giza on the left-hand side, and the ripped deity on the opposite side, the 6×4 grid is literally caught between Ra and a hard place. It’s limited by 50 fixed paylines though, which is not all that for such a setup, and the symbol values are mediocre as well. You’re therefore at the mercy of the Ra Wild in many ways, as this symbol can expand and boost winnings by an x3 multiplier that’s only active when it expands.

Visually, Pragmatic Play does the ancient Egypt theme well, and Might of Ra is no exception. The teaser Ra Wild expansions gets a tad annoying though, and getting wilds added to the reel strips is a somewhat unusual bonus round upgrade system. The unexpected 22,500x potential saves the day though, not least since your chances of cracking it is a solid 1 in 1,022,013 spins.

Might of Ra Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 7.5 and 15 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the Ra Wild can land anywhere to help complete winning combos by substituting for regular pay symbols. At random times, the Ra Wild may expand to cover the full reel when it lands, and when it does the wild is also upgraded with an x3 multiplier. The wild also pays 25x your stake for a 6 of a kind win, making it the most valuable symbol in the game.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land enough bonus scatters on reels 2-5, and you need 3 or 4 to trigger the feature with 15 free spins. This also awards 2x or 5x your stake up front, and the bonus round comes with a special Ankh symbol. This Ankh symbol is collected in the progress meter on the left-hand side, and each level-up adds extra wilds to the reel strips as follows:

• Level 1 – is the starting level with 54 wilds available on the reel strips.
• Level 2 – collect 5 Ankhs to get +12 extra wilds added to the reel strips.
• Level 3 – collect 5 more Ankhs to get +12 extra wilds added to the reel strips.
• Level 4 – collect 5 more Ankhs to get +24 extra wilds added to the reel strips.

You can retrigger the bonus round by landing 2, 3 or 4 bonus scatters on the same free spin, and this gives you 3, 6 or 9 extra spins, respectively.

You get to see the expanding multiplier Ra Wild in action a few times in the base game, but annoyingly enough it didn’t lead to any payouts. We trigger the bonus round at 1:38 into the 7-minute highlights video, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The ancient Egypt theme is hardly original, but Pragmatic Play has made the most of it with a solid visual presentation and the animated Ra character on the right-hand side. It’s a bit annoying that the Ra Wild bothers to expand when it does not generate a win, as it seems a bit pointless with such teasers. The base game is pretty barebones outside of this expanding wild feature, and seldom will you see more than one wild expand at the same time.

The likelihood of that happening increases in the bonus round though, and not least if you can level up a few times to add more wilds to the reel strips. This upgrade system is not always all that effective though, but the 22,500x potential is unusually high for Pragmatic Play. The max win probability of 1 in 1,022,013 is also impressive, and these 2 factors alone provide solid arguments for why Might of Ra is well worth checking out.
