Might of Ra Slot Review
A carved-gold reel frame studded with green jewels sits against a weathered pyramid flank and a pale dusk sky, stone temple pillars running along the bottom. Above the reels, a golden ankh glows in an outstretched hand. Pragmatic Play have built the entire game around one bet: that a single slowly-building mechanic, given room to grow, is enough to carry an Egyptian slot.
Everything else here is deliberately plain. Might of Ra runs on a 6×4 grid with 50 paylines, high volatility, an RTP of 96.49%, and a 22,500x maximum win that sits far above what the rest of the maths suggests. Bets run from 0.20 to 240 per spin. The gap between a modest paytable and that ceiling is the whole story.
How the Base Game Pays
Wins pay left to right across 50 paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. All wins are multiplied by the bet per line, and when several paylines hit at once their wins are added together into the total. Only the highest combination counts on any single line.
So a line carrying both a three-symbol and a four-symbol win pays the four, nothing more. With six reels in play, every symbol has a six-of-a-kind tier, and that top tier is where the base paytable’s modest numbers peak. The premium symbols are the Snake, Horse, Eagle and Scorpion, with the royals filling out the bottom of the table.
All values below are multiples of the total bet.
- Snake – 1x for three, 3.75x for four, 10x for five, 15x for six
- Horse – 0.75x for three, 2x for four, 7.5x for five, 12.5x for six
- Eagle – 0.5x for three, 1.25x for four, 5x for five, 10x for six
- Scorpion – 0.35x for three, 0.75x for four, 3.75x for five, 7.5x for six
- A – 0.25x for three, 0.5x for four, 2.5x for five, 5x for six
- K / Q – 0.15x for three, 0.3x for four, 1.5x for five, 3.75x for six
- J – 0.15x for three, 0.25x for four, 1x for five, 2.5x for six
- 10 – 0.1x for three, 0.25x for four, 1x for five, 2.5x for six
The wild is the richest symbol on the reels, paying 1.25x for three up to 25x for six, and it substitutes for everything except the bonus symbol. It appears on all reels. Whenever one or more wilds land, they can randomly expand into a full wild reel carrying a 3x multiplier that applies to every winning combination using that reel.
That’s the base game’s one flourish, and it’s a good one. A single expanded reel can turn a flat spin into something worth watching. The rest of the base game offers nothing beyond the spinning – there’s no second modifier, no collection meter, no random feature waiting in the wings.
The expansion isn’t guaranteed, either. It’s a chance that fires when a wild lands, so most wild appearances behave like ordinary substitutions. When the expansion does come, it fills the whole reel, and any win crossing that reel is tripled.
Wins are shown in coins by default, with a cash view available alongside. Bet changes run through the bet menu, where the stake is set in both coin and cash terms, and autoplay and turbo spin options sit behind it.
Free Spins and the Ankh Collection
The bonus symbol lands on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 only, which rules out a five- or six-symbol trigger entirely. Three is the minimum and four is the maximum. Three of them pay 2x the total bet and trigger the round; four pay 5x the total bet on top of it.
The round opens with 15 free spins and special reels in play throughout, so the symbol mix during free spins isn’t the same as the base game’s. What makes the round interesting is the ankh. During free spins a new ANKH symbol appears, and each one collected feeds a four-level ladder that upgrades the reel strips by adding more wilds:
- Level 1 – the round starts with 54 wild symbols on the reel strips
- Level 2 – at 5 ankhs collected, 12 more wild symbols are added
- Level 3 – at 10 ankhs collected, 12 more wild symbols are added
- Level 4 – at 15 or more ankhs collected, 24 more wild symbols are added
That’s a doubling of the wild count by the top level, from 54 to 102. The expanded wild reels carry their 3x multiplier here too, so a late-level spin can stack multiplied wild reels across a six-reel grid. The build is the point: the round starts quiet and gets denser the longer it runs.
Retriggers are generous by the standards of the format, paying out from just two bonus symbols mid-round. A pair adds 3 extra spins, three brings 6, and four brings 9. Because the trigger ceiling is four symbols, the nine-spin retrigger is the biggest single top-up the round can give itself.
Free spin wins are added to payline wins, and the round’s total is paid out once it completes rather than spin by spin. There’s a hard ceiling on any round, base or bonus: reach the cap and the round ends immediately, the win is awarded in full, and any remaining features are forfeited.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 6.8/10
Playing Might of Ra is mostly waiting, punctuated by the odd expanded wild reel that briefly wakes the desert up. The one reason to choose it over glossier Egyptian slots is that build: an ankh ladder that quietly doubles the wild count while you’re not looking, then hands you a late round that pays nothing like the one you started with.
That ladder is the best thing here. Its weakness is the road to it – a bonus locked to the middle four reels with a four-symbol ceiling, on top of a base paytable that tops out at 15x. Most spins are filler, and the game knows it.
It suits patient players who enjoy watching a round grow denser spin by spin, and it will leave anyone who wants constant action cold. Ra holds his ankh out patiently; the game works the same way.
