3 Oaks Gaming, a leading provider of iGaming content, has launched a new slot game called Sun of Egypt 4: Hold and Win. This is the fourth installment of the popular Sun of Egypt series, which takes players to the ancient land of pyramids and pharaohs. The new game features a Boost Feature, which can increase the value of the symbols on the reels and award multipliers of up to 5x. The game also offers a Hold and Win Bonus game, a Super Bonus round, five in-game jackpots, and a Bonus Accum mechanic.
The Boost Feature
The Boost Feature is a new addition to the Sun of Egypt series, which enhances the gameplay and the win potential. The Boost symbol, represented by a golden scarab, can appear on the grid and collect all the visible values of the Bonus symbols, which are depicted by radiant suns. The Boost symbol may also come with a multiplier of 3x, 4x, or 5x, which applies to all the collected values. The Boost Feature can be triggered both in the main game and in the bonus rounds.
The Hold and Win Bonus game
The Hold and Win Bonus game is a familiar feature from the previous Sun of Egypt games, which is activated by landing six or more Bonus, Jackpot, or Mystery symbols on the reels. The Mystery symbol can transform into any of the other symbols, including the Boost symbol and the Super symbol. The Super symbol unlocks the Super Bonus round, where all the symbols have higher values. The Super Bonus round can also be accessed directly from the main game by landing five Bonus symbols and one Super symbol.
The Hold and Win Bonus game awards three respins, which are reset every time a new symbol lands on the grid. The aim is to fill the screen with symbols and win one of the five jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major, Grand, or Mega. The Grand jackpot is worth 2,000 times the bet, while the Mega jackpot is worth 10,000 times the bet.
The Bonus Accum mechanic
The Bonus Accum mechanic is another new feature that makes its debut in the Sun of Egypt series. It is available both in the main game and in the Free Spins mode. Every Sun symbol that lands on the grid fills up a meter, which grants access to the Bonus game when full. The meter can be filled faster by landing more Sun symbols on the same spin.
The Free Spins mode
The Free Spins mode is triggered by landing three or more Scatter symbols, which are represented by pyramids. The player receives eight free spins, which can be retriggered by landing three more Scatters. During the Free Spins mode, the Mystery, Boost, and Bonus symbols appear more frequently, increasing the chances of landing bigger prizes.
The verdict
Sun of Egypt 4: Hold and Win is a stunning slot game that combines the charm of the ancient Egyptian theme with the excitement of the Hold and Win mechanics. The game has a high volatility and a RTP of 96.5%. The game is compatible with desktop and mobile devices and is available at 3 Oaks Gaming’s partner casinos.
