Well, what they don’t tell you directly is that the 3 games share the exact same symbols, with the exact same value (on the paytable), ancient atmosphere, design, style and the exact same music, plus all essential features remain: H&W is the star component and in the Free Spins only high-value symbols take part. (The Mystery symbols come into play from chapter 2.)
As hard as it is to ignore the constant repetition, there are actually some additional annoying points:
- Not specified the Bonus symbols values. (How difficult is it to give a margin, say between 1x and 15x?)
- Not specified the Super Bonus symbols values. (How hard is it to give a ballpark, say between 5x and 25x?)
- Last but not least, is the undisclosed technical data. (We’ve heard some players rallying voices to boycott the producers who don’t publish the parameters of their creations – we agree – they should have learned by now – the gambling community loves to know all the numbers. We all need to work on obliging the casino software producers to publish all data and help the consumers – us (players) to make informed decisions – similar to the legal requirements for packaging in the food industry, for example.
(***Feel free to express your opinion on the subject of obscured technical details in the comment box.)
With our reverse slot analysis, we identified the following parallels between the 3 games:
As for the discrepancies between the 3 games, we can mention:
Sun of Egypt slot
3 Jackpots up to 1000x; the Wild has a former look (Shen Ring instead of Ra – Wild) and no value.
Sun of Egypt 2 slot
4 Jackpots up to 5000x; introducing the Mystery symbol.
Sun of Egypt 3 slot
5 Jackpots up to 10000x; introducing the Super Bonus symbol.
After all that we have said and pinpointed, we must admit that Sun of Egypt 3 is an okay game, where you can get decent wins despite the poor RTP, but you will enjoy it the most if you haven’t played the first 2 games in the series. Otherwise, the duplication is too big, and the difference is not exciting enough to make you jump from the old games to the most recent one. We leave neutral recommendations.

Bonus Features of Sun of Egypt 3 slot
Wilds – The sun deity – Ra is the Wild element in the game. It is a top-value icon, delivering 12x/2.40x/0.80x the bet for 5/4/3OAK of its own combinations on a payline. Like most of the symbols in the game, it can come single or stacked. The latter can create some exciting wins. Naturally, it also serves as a replacement for all regular icons.
Free Spins – Landing 3 ancient pots of gold (Scatters), available only on the central reels will give you an entrance to the Bonus round. It also brings a consolation prize of 2x the total bet. The Bonus consists of 8 FS and there is always a chance for a re-trigger.
Only the highest paid symbols and the 3 types of Bonus symbols will roll during the FS (no cards, thus). The H&W feature is also active.
Hold and Win Mini-game
- When can the Mini-game be activated?
- The feature can be obtained from the base or Bonus spins.
- What are the symbols participating in the Mini-game?
- There are 3 types of Bonus Symbols that can drop throughout the game, and 1 only in the Mini-game:
- Bonus Symbols – the Regular Suns, which come with a cash price inside.
- Super Bonus Symbols – the Scorching (Super) Suns, which only matter in the Super Bonus reckoning.
- Jackpot Symbols – the Suns with a Jackpot name. You have their prize on display the whole time.
- Mystery Symbol – the Mystery Sun is only available during the Mini-game.
- What do you need to initiate the Mini-game?
- 6+ Regular Suns/Jackpot Suns, or
- 5+ Regular Suns/Jackpot Suns and 1 Scorching Sun.
- How does the Mini-game play?
- All triggering Suns will be fastened to their cells on the grid, and within 3 Re-spins if more of the above-mentioned 3+1 Sun Symbols drop, they will also stick and the tally will be reset to 3. The Hold and Win feature will end if Suns shine from all cells on the grid, or if you run out of Re-spins.
- How do the Mystery Suns participate in the Mini-game?
- The Mystery Suns can drop everywhere only during the Mini-game and transform into Jackpot Suns or Scorching Suns at the end of the feature. It is possible to obtain several Mystery Suns during 1 Mini-game.
- What are the Super Suns and what is their role in the Mini-game?
- The Scorching (Super) Suns can only drop on reel 5 during the base or everywhere during the Mini-game. In case 1 or more Super Suns fall, there is Super Bonus reckoning at the end of the Mini-game – all Bonus Symbols currently in view will be upgraded to a higher value.
- What are the values of the Jackpot Suns and the grand total of the Mini-game?
- While the Mystery Suns and the Super Suns don’t show their powers until the end of the Mini-game, the Regular Suns and the Jackpot Suns have their monetary value on display all the time during the Hold and Win action.
- At the end of the feature, all cash will be summed up, and in the case of Super Bonus reckoning first, the amounts will be raised and then totalled.
- The initial Jackpot Suns can show Mini/Minor/Major/Grand Jackpots, awarding respectively 20x/50x/150x/2000x the total bet. It can be that a Super Sun will upgrade a Regular Sun to a Mini Jackpot, or a Mini Jackpot to a Minor and so on.
- The ultimate result of the Mini-game is when all 15 cells on the grid are full of various Suns. Then the Royal Jackpot of 10000x the bet will be awarded.
