Sun of Egypt 2 Review

Released back in 2019, Sun of Egypt was nothing short of a banger when it first came out, and now, in 2 years since its release developer 3 Oaks comes up with a sequel that amplifies the experience offering bigger rewards to the players. Aside from the math, little has changed in Sun of Egypt 2, as it basically builds on the same gameplay mechanics and features, with the popular Hold and Win bonus being central to the game.

Sun of Egypt 2 – Slot Outlook

While the original Sun of Egypt took us to explore ancient Egyptian temples, the second part plays outside, with endless windswept desert sands serving as the backdrop to the reels. Everything else, including the soundtrack and the majority of the symbols, remained untouched due to either a low budget or a lazy approach. Anyway, the same golden-framed 5×3 reel setup dominates the view of Sun of Egypt 2, and players have 25 ways to play on each spin.

Sun of Egypt 2 Slot – Reel Screen

Playable on any device, the Sun of Egypt 2 slot comes with a betting range of £0.25 to £60 per spin, which should appeal to both high-rollers and casual players. Unfortunately, both the RTP and variance level remain unknown, but we’ll keep you posted as we get more data. However, what has changed for sure is the maximum winning potential that is now five times bigger. The original Sun of Egypt was capable of paying only 1,000x to the players, while the sequel brings a whole new level of rewards, offering a top jackpot of 5,000x the stake.

As we head over to the paytable, we see a bunch of recognizable symbols that we’ve already seen in the first part. Those are split into two categories, namely highs and lows, and include a total of 8 regular symbols. The lower section is made up of classic A-J royals, and higher value symbols include in ascending order a headdress, Eye of Horus, ankh, and a gold mask. Wilds have altered their look though and are now represented by pharaoh symbols. Moreover, now Wilds have their own value and pay up to 12x your bet for line wins. Meanwhile, 5-of-a-kind regular symbol wins are worth from 2x to 10x the stake.

Sun of Egypt 2 – Bonus Features

During the base game, look out for Scatter symbols that can appear on reels 2 – 4. Once you land three instances on the three middle reels, the Free Spins feature will come into play, and you will receive 8 spins to start. The bonus game operates in a similar way to the base game, but a major change is that low symbols are removed from the reels and only premiums, as well as bonus symbols, are available during the free games. Retriggers are also possible, with 3 Scatters appearing anywhere on reels 2 – 4 during the bonus awarding +8 extra free spins.

Bonus Symbols that land with a random cash value attached to them, in turn, are available on all reels throughout the gameplay, and landing 6 or more anywhere in view during the base game or Free Spins awards the Hold and Win Respins bonus game. The triggering symbols will lock in place for the remainder of the feature, much like any other that will land during the respins, and players will proceed to a new type of reel set consisting of blanks, bonus, and jackpot symbols.

Players get 3 Respins at the beginning of the feature, though, whenever a new bonus symbol lands, the respins counter is reset back to 3. The bonus game continues until the player runs out of spins or the entire grid is filled with bonus symbols. At the end of the Hold and Win feature, all symbol values in view will be summed up and paid to the player.

Additionally, players can win one or more of the four fixed jackpot prizes during the respins. Mini, Minor, and Major Jackpot symbols, worth 20x, 50x, and 150x your bet, can randomly appear during the feature and will contribute to the total bonus win. On top of that, filling all 15 symbol positions with bonus or jackpot symbols will award a Grand Jackpot of 5,000x the stake.

Sun of Egypt 2 – Slot Verdict

The reason behind the success of the original Sun of Egypt was in the innovative game mechanic that it has introduced to an Egypt-loving audience. However, in contemporary standards when the streak-style Respins mechanic is found in every second slot game, Sun of Egypt 2 doesn’t feel like a breakthrough, but more like a bonafide copy of its older brother with slight changes to the outer look and gameplay. Anyway, it’s still not a bad slot, and those into the Egyptian thing will appreciate Booongo’s effort.

Pros

  • Free Spins with reels made up of premium symbols
  • Exciting Hold and Win Respins bonus game
  • Four jackpots paying up to 5,000x the stake

Cons

  • Copy of the original Sun of Egypt
