Links of Ra Slot Review
Have you ever had someone who was out to get you? Like a social media troll, a jealous ex-friend, or an ex-girlfriend or boyfriend who existed solely to see you fall from grace?
Imagine then, if you will, what the poor Egyptian sun god Ra had to go through. Every day, he was attacked by the giant serpent Apophis – known to his homies as Apep – as he tried to stop the sun from rising and in that way, destroy the Earth.
And you thought you had problems…
Take a trip back with me to an ancient time as we discover the secrets of Links of Ra slot – brought to us by Quickfire.
Gameplay
The ancient Egyptians have been very busy, it seems. They’ve been building what looks like a bustling metropolis, with pyramids sprouting like stone mushrooms, under the blazing sun.
I was a little confused while looking at the 5x4 reel grid and its symbols. A goat god? Really? Turns out there was indeed one – a ram, technically – and his name was Khnum. And the lion-headed deity, known as Maahes, was their god of war.
And here I thought I knew it all, after all the Egyptian-themed games I’ve reviewed!
Off the bat, the studio has done something which I really like. Above the controls on the right-hand side, you’ll see messages surfaced that tell you stuff like landing 3 Ankh Scatter symbols gets you Free Spins, or that 20 golden Coin symbols – which look like suns to me, but anyhoo – set off the Grand Jackpot.
That’s very cool and makes the game user-friendly. Well thought through! I had imagined that the game would probably look quite busy on a mobile device but it’s actually not bad.
And even the controls were easy to select, which I also didn’t think would work anywhere near as well as they did. Seems I’m having a day filled with surprises that show me up for the fool I am!
Links of Ra slot has a 96.2% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” 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 game’s volatility rate., along with a very high volatility. Its bet limits start at €0.20 and go up to €10.
Features
Power Stacks – All symbols, save for Wilds and Scatters, can be Power Stacked, and even randomly Super Stacked!
Link & Win – Land 6 or more Coin symbols and you’ll kick off this feature, along with 3 spins. It can happen during both the base game and the Free Spins round.
The Coins that triggered the feature become sticky, and if any additional ones get added, they too will stay in place, and they’ll also re-set the spins to 3.
Coins – You’ll see coins of different colors, and these denote the various Jackpots and award their associated cash prize.
Free Spins – Land 3 Scatters, and you’ll be awarded no less than 15 Free Spins. All of the wins that come from these are also multiplied by 2. Not too shabby, eh. During Free Spins, Wilds are also stacked.
Performance
I played Links of Ra slot on various browsers, and on a variety of devices. I didn’t experience any issues, I’m happy to report.
Max Win
There’s a quarter mil that could be claimed here, thanks to the massive 25,000x multiplier. Even the mighty Ra himself wouldn’t sneer at €250,000 and neither would I!
Conclusion
If our pyramid-building cousins could get into a profit-share situation with all the games that have used an Egyptian theme, they’d be rolling in it! The challenge with creating an Egyptian game is distinguishing yourself from the masses.
Links of Ra slot is commendably well put together but it’s still not exceptional. The Link & Win is fine, but the 15 Free Spins with the 2x win multiplier is my favorite. Not earth-shaking but still pretty cool.
I think it’s a fair game but do bear in mind that the volatility is very high.
