Sun of Egypt 5 at a glance
Sun of Egypt 5 is the fifth game in 3 Oaks Gaming's Egyptian series, and like the ones before it, everything revolves around a Hold and Win bonus. This time the bonus has more moving parts: power symbols that change what's on the grid, extra rows to unlock, and a royal jackpot of 5,000x for filling every position.
Studio: 3 Oaks Gaming.
Main feature: Hold and Win, started by six bonus or power symbols.
Top prize: the 5,000x royal jackpot.
RTP at Jacks Club: 95.68%, as shown on the game's tile.
How the Hold and Win bonus starts
Land six bonus or power symbols, the blazing suns, and the bonus begins. From there the round is about filling the grid: every sun that lands adds its value, and the more of the grid you cover, the closer you get to the jackpots.
The sun meter is the second way in. When it triggers the bonus, you start with at least one power symbol already on the grid, which gives that version of the round a head start.
Power symbols
Power symbols are what set this game apart from the earlier ones in the series. When one triggers during the bonus, it applies one of three effects to symbols on the grid:
It boosts their values.
It adds multipliers of up to 10x.
It turns them into jackpot prizes, mini, minor, maxi or major.
Which effect you get changes the round completely. A 10x multiplier on a big sun is worth more than most jackpots, while a value boost spread across a busy grid adds up quietly.
Extra rows and the 5,000x royal jackpot
During the bonus you can unlock up to three extra rows, giving the suns more room to land. Fill every position on the expanded grid and the game pays its royal jackpot of 5,000x your bet. The named jackpots are fixed multiples of your stake rather than progressive pools, so they pay the same whatever anyone else has been doing.
Free spins
Three scatter symbols trigger a round of free spins, a separate feature from the Hold and Win bonus. Landing the bonus inside free spins is the best of both, since the spins it starts from cost you nothing.
What 95.68% means
At 95.68%, Sun of Egypt 5 keeps about $4.32 of every $100 wagered over the long run. Much of a Hold and Win game's value sits inside the bonus, so expect quiet stretches between triggers and size your stake for them. For a comparison point, most of our in-house games run at 98%, which costs about $2 per $100; our bitcoin keno is one of them, with the full paytable published on the page.
