Sun of Egypt 3 is a 2022 hold and win slot from Booongo, now 3 Oaks Gaming. It plays on a 5x3 grid with 25 paylines and is built around sun bonus symbols that lock in place, five fixed jackpots and a stronger Super Bonus version of the feature. Filling the grid pays the Royal jackpot of 10,000x your stake. It suits you if you enjoy coin collection games and do not mind high volatility.
How does Sun of Egypt 3 work?
You play five reels and three rows with 25 paylines. Regular symbols pay from left to right, and the wild substitutes for them. Line wins are modest, with premium symbols paying up to 10x for five of a kind.
The real focus is the sun bonus symbol. Six or more on one spin start the Hold and Win feature. Super Bonus symbols can also land on reel 5 in the base game and free spins, and mystery symbols can turn into jackpot symbols or a Super Bonus symbol.
What are the Sun of Egypt 3 bonus features?
In Hold and Win, the sun symbols stick, the rest of the grid clears and you get three respins. Every new symbol locks and resets the count to three. Cash symbols carry values from 1x to 15x, and jackpot symbols award Mini 20x, Minor 50x, Major 150x or Grand 2,000x. Filling all 15 positions awards the Royal jackpot of 10,000x.
Five or more Super Bonus symbols start the Super Bonus Game, which uses higher value cash symbols. Three scatters award 8 free spins with low card symbols removed, and three more scatters in a single spin add 8 extra spins.
Is Sun of Egypt 3 worth playing? RTP and volatility explained
The listed RTP is 95.61%, below the industry average. Booongo now trades as 3 Oaks Gaming, and its games may be offered in more than one RTP version. The help screen at your casino shows which one you are playing.
Volatility is high. Most of the game's value sits in the Hold and Win rounds, and the Royal jackpot needs a completely full grid, which is rare. Free spins are capped at a much lower amount per spin, so they work more as a way to reach the coin feature than as a big win on their own.
Sun of Egypt is one of 3 Oaks' longest running series. Compared with the first game, which listed a 1,000x cap, the third entry adds the Super Bonus mode and a far higher top prize. Later sequels change the grid again, so make sure you open the right number.
