Luck of Ra Review
It’s almost like some developers believe that the Book of ... mechanic is somehow a magic ticket to success. That all you need is an ancient egypt theme combined with a bonus round twist, and you’re on your way to glory. Throw in a few extras, like mega symbols and synced reels, and there is no way this thing can become a gigantic flop, right?
Reality check: You only need a quick glance at the math model to predict that Luck of Ra will never go anywhere. You’ll discover a high volatility game sporting a potential that’s far lower than what pretty much every other Ra clone offers. This places Luck of Ra in a league of its own, and it’s not a league any experienced player would even dream of paying attention to.
Luck of Ra slot Features
The Horus wild steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos, and it’s also the highest paying symbol in the game. Land 5 on a payline and you win 75x your stake. Before we cover the rest of the bonus features however, we will give you a brief overview of the different game modes mentioned in the intro:
- Standard Mode - is the default mode offering regular gameplay.
- Super Mode - spins a special mini wheel with red and green segments. Land on the green, and you’ll get a 3x3 Mega Symbol on the regular reel set.
- Mega Mode - triggers the bonus round if you land on the green segment.
You pay the same for a spin in each mode, and the regular game comes with plenty of features. You can get synced reels randomly on any given spin, and this means that 3 reels sync up and land matching symbols. You will also benefit from 3x3 Mega Symbols at random times, and these can land fully or partially in view.
Triggering the bonus round is done via the Mega Mode spin, or when you land one 3x3 mega scroll symbol fully in view. You get 8 free spins, and 2 symbols are chosen up front to be the special expanding symbols. Whenever enough chosen symbols land to create a win, they will expand to fully cover the reel. You don’t need to land the chosen symbols adjacent to win, and landing a new mega scroll fully in view retriggers the feature.
Non-UK players have a third route to the bonus round, and it’s the most direct way. You can simply purchase the feature for 85x your stake, and you will then be taken directly to the expanding symbol selection screen.
The 200 Spins Luck of Ra slot Experience
Nothing exciting happened for us in the base game, so we decided to try our luck with a few Super Mode spins after a while. You can see this around 1:12 into the 3-minute highlights video below. We hit the green zone on the third try, and was lucky enough to land the mega scroll symbol fully in view. This triggered the bonus round, and how much (or little) we won can be seen by hitting the play button.
Review Summary
If you’re going to release yet another Ra clone, you need - at the very least - to build it around a math model that can compete. Luck of Ra comes with some twist attempts that seem half-baked, but the biggest problem is the high volatility combined with a measly 750x single spin max win. Almost all other ‘book slots’ in existence, and there are quite a few these days, offer far better stats than what you get here.
Your best hope of ever coming close to such payouts is if the wild symbol is chosen to be one of the expanding symbols in the bonus round (yes, that is possible). The 2 Mode features are pretty much a waste of time and money, as it’s not exactly a blast to see a small needle spin down below the reels. With low volatility this game would have stuck out more, but as it is, hardly anyone with experience will bat an eye.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Gamble for synced reels or bonus round | High volatility and 750x single spin potential |
| Mega symbols and random synced reels | |
| Bonus round with 2 expanding symbols |
