That doesn’t mean there’s not an audience for these old-school slots, especially if you’re into the ancient topics with an appealing bright cartoonish design. The whole set-up will lift your spirits right away.
The light colour scheme used for the anthropomorphic characters and the card symbols to the sunny blue sky was used as background—finally, the funky Egyptian soundtrack to complete the audio-visual composition. To add an extra edge, there’s a mini-strategy game in store for you, based on the ancient Egyptian board game Senet.
The outcome will determine how many Free Spins you will receive and with what win multiplier. Enjoy this Medium Variance online slot, and warm yourself with it as you spin the reels, waiting for the sunray of 10 000 coins maximum win, but be alert to the RTP – 95.88% (under the industry average).

Personal testers’ opinion about Journey of the Sun slot
We enjoyed testing this slot, developed by Genesis Gaming studio and released on Microgaming’s platform. Mainly because of the funky music, which is like James Brown walking like an Egyptian. Especially during Free Spins, you can enjoy the full intensity of the upbeat music. Also, we think the Senet – that little determining section unveiling the multiplier and the number of the Free Spins, is surprisingly original. But what we most care about are the payouts, of course.
Sadly, the Sun God Ra turned out to be sort of stingy. You have to rely on the Wilds to double the wins, and only during Free Spins, you can make some large profit. Unfortunately, every Senet game resulted for us with 10 Free Spins and the worst multiplier- of 2x. Statistically, the average payout of these bonus spins was not more than 40x the total bet.
All outcomes of different sessions considered (also in various casinos with real money) we cannot recommend this Journey of the Sun slot machine to players who want to book an epic win or those who want to cover the bonus money wagering.
