Coins of Ra

Coins of Ra by Betsoft is a classic 3×3 Egyptian themed video slot with 3,600x wins. That’s a lot to take in at first, because it’s been a while since we’ve seen a slot with a 3×3 setup with as much power as Coins of Ra. The game delivers a highly potent gameplay to players’ screens using 96.18% RTP, 3 reels, 3 rows, and a total of 5 paylines. If you want to score big in the game – the win potential reaches 3,600x – you’ll need the game boosters.

This is, as many other Betsoft releases, a Hold & Win slot. That means that the Hold & Win feature is the main dish, with Chests of Gold and Wilds added as garnish. The visuals, although simplified, are still quite nice to look at and reflect the high-quality production that comes from companies such as Betsoft. Read our full game review below.

Coins of Ra is a classic game with 5 paylines. The setup supports 3 reels and 3 rows, so the number of paylines does not come as a surprise. Besides being a classic game, this is also an Egyptian slot, as it’s themed around ancient Egyptian artefacts. The entire focus of the slot is on the Hold & Win feature, as that’s the main feature. Therefore, Betsoft opted not to overbear the game with unnecessary features. That’s why there are only Wilds outside Hold & Win – and Chests of Gold, but these are also part of the main booster.

To play the 3×3 game, players have a $0.20-$100 betting range to choose the wager. Once the sum is chosen, players place the bet on the game and click spin. As the game has only 5 fixed paylines, whenever you land 3 matching icons on one of the 5 lines, you get a win.

Before you get into Coins of Ra betting, please remember that the game has high variance and a 96.18% RTP. However, there are two other variants – the 94.17% and 92.17%, respectively.  In the default version of the game with the highest RTP rate, hit frequency peaks at 31.07%.

Bets in Coins of Ra start at $0.20 per spin. If you want to wager on the game using the highest possible bet, the maximum amount allowed is $100. This is a standard betting range for slots in the industry, so that’s good.

When it comes to game symbols, everything is about Egypt – four gemstones in different shapes and colors make up the low-value icon set. They pay from 0.20x to 1x. Then we have a statue, the eye of Horus, and a pyramid paying 1.60x, 2x, and 3x for a match of 3 icons. Lastly, we have the highest-paying icon the scarab beetle that pays 5x for 3. Wilds are also paying icons, worth 10x.

Inside the game, there are several ways to get a payout. You can first trigger Bonus Prizes worth between 1x and 15x. then, you might win one of four jackpots through the Hold & Win feature – the Mini (25x), Minor (50x), Major (150x), and Grand prize (1000x). Lastly, the game has a maximum win potential of 3,600x the stake.

Please remember that the game supports both free and real money betting. However, it’s very volatile, so it’s best to not go too overboard with bet sizes at first.

When it comes to game boosters, Coins of Ra rely on Hold & Win and Wilds.

Wilds replace all icons on the grid except for Bonus symbols. The role of Wilds is to generate better winning chances, and if you land a win of Wilds, you get a 10x payout.

Now, let’s move onto the Hold & Win feature.

The coins are the Bonus symbols, with golden coins being RA BONUS icons. To get into Hold & Win, you need at least 3 Coins. This grants you 3 Respins where the goal is to land matching Coins to get a regular prize or one of four jackpot prizes.

Now, the feature happens in a 3×3 grid where each Respin serves to land additional Coins. If there are no new Coins, you lose the Respin. If you lose all Respins, the round ends. However, if there’s at least one new Coin, Respins reset to 3. Ra BONUS icons collect all prizes on the screen. Whenever they do that, they reset the number of Respins to 3.

All prizes are yours in the end. Chests of Gold are features that enable you to unlock the Hold & Win feature in the base game.
