Coins of Ra Hold & Win Slot Review

Some of you are stuck in boring, monotonous šŸ„± jobs. Others might even think your jobs are pretty cool until they realize itā€™s just the same daily grid. Thatā€™s how it was for Ra, the king šŸ‘‘ of the Egyptian gods.

Ra would go for a joy ride across the sky in a giant boat each day. And every night, heā€™d travel through the Underworld, on another boat, and battle a giant snake known as Apophis. šŸ

So yeah, battling snakes was probably fun the first few times. But after like the 1,000th time, I reckon Ra might have sat down with Apophis and said, ā€œDude, can we just say we had it out and rather go grab a drink at the bar?ā€ šŸ»

Maybe thatā€™s why we donā€™t hear much about Ra these days. Heā€™s too busy hoisting a few with his serpentine homie.

This is Coins of Ra Hold & Win slot from Betsoft Gaming. šŸŽ°

Gameplay

An Ankh, the Eye of Horus, a Scarab Beetle, an Anubis Burial Pot, and a Golden Pyramid ā€“ these are the high-paying symbols that adorn the reels of this Egyptian-themed game.

The Ankh is Wild and substitutes for all symbols other than Bonus symbols and Ra Bonus symbols. The latter symbols look similar; the Bonus one has a silver outside rim though, while the Ra Bonus is all gold. Both have a figure on them.

Bonus symbols land on reels 1 and 3, while Ra Bonus symbols appear on reel 2.

There are 4 Jackpot prizes shown above the reels ā€“ the Mini pays 25x, the Minor pays 50x, the Major pays 150x, and the Grand Jackpot pays 1,000x your bet. You can win these in the Hold & Win feature.

Few games look as striking ā€“ when it comes to the mobile experience ā€“ as Coins of Ra Hold & Win slot (Iā€™m talking about portrait mode; landscape isnā€™t ideal). But I guess thatā€™s not surprising, given the 3x3 grid formation.

You might be tempted to think this game doesnā€™t pack a serious punch, but youā€™d be dead wrong! You could scoop a win worth $360,000 off the back of the 3,600x max multiplier. The RTPRTP stands for ā€œReturn to Player.ā€ The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a gameā€™s volatility rate.
is 96.18%
, there are 5 paylines, and the volatility rate is high.

You can play with any currency as long as itā€™s not the yen.

Features

HOLD & WIN FEATURE:

Youā€™ll need to land a minimum of 2 Bonus symbols plus at least 1 Ra Bonus to trigger the Hold & Win round and youā€™ll be awarded 3 re-spins to begin with.

The triggering Ra Bonus symbol(s) will lock in place, and its job is to collect the values of the visible Bonus symbols or any of the Jackpots you might see during this feature.

Once the values of the Bonus symbols have been collected, the Bonus symbols will be removed from the grid and the number of re-spins will be reset to 3. Landing additional Ra Bonus symbols also resets the re-spin counter.

The Hold & Win feature ends when you run out of re-spins.

CHEST OF GOLD:

Now, I mentioned the requirements for triggering the gameā€™s main feature, but thereā€™s a loophole.

If only 1 Bonus symbol and 1 Ra Bonus symbol land during the base game, this could trigger a situation where additional ones are added ā€“ enough to initiate the Hold & Win round.

Performance

I played on my tablet, phone, and laptop and also swapped between Safari and Chrome with no issues to report.

Maximum Win

While the $360,000 potential prize money is huge, youā€™ll need to reach deep into your pockets if you wanna be in line for scooping it ā€“ youā€™ll need to bet $100 a pop and land the 3,600x max multiplier. Or just bet from $0.15.

Conclusion

Coins of Ra Hold & Win slot is a super straightforward game, but the rewards can be magnificent (albeit costly to secure).

Another release from the same studio offers $325,460, a 3,254x max multiplier, but a very high volatility rate, and it goes by the name of A Big catch Hold & Win slot.

That gameā€™s Grand Jackpot is a bit more generous ā€“ at 2,000x ā€“ but the lesser Jackpots donā€™t pay as well as our current game. And the fishing-themed one has a Buy Bonus, which only costs 83x, so thatā€™s perhaps a better option for the impatient among you.
