Dice of Ra Slot Review

Ancient Egypt is a popular theme among online slots and there are many different varieties to take your pick from, one of which is Dice of Ra from EGT. This thrilling 5-reel, 15-payline slot game features a progressive jackpot just waiting to be discovered. Take a journey through the hot sandy deserts, uncover the mysteries that lay beneath the ancient Pyramids and you could end up fleeing with an eye-watering amount of cash.

Spin the reels from as little as 1.50 and encounter scatters, wilds, free spins and not one, but four progressive jackpots.

Design and Theme

Dice of Ra slot machine drags players into the mysterious world of ancient Egypt, thanks to the brilliant design that it features. The reels of the game have been placed in the heart of Egypt with eerie orange skies, sky-scraping pyramids and sands for as far as the eye can reach. Either side of the reels is where the paylines are situated.

The four progressive jackpot panels are placed above the reels with a control panel to the lower of the screen. There’s no need to filter through various options to get to the bet that suits your budget, because you can click one of the following bet options to start the reels spinning; 1.50, 3.00, 7.50, 12.00 or 15.00.

Kudos to EGT because the symbols on the reels have been designed to replicate various coloured dice with Egyptian themed items, these are; white number 6 Tutankhamun, white number 6 Cleopatra, stone number 5 with Hieroglyphics, grey number 4 with sphinx, grey number 4 with eye of Horus, brown number 3 with Anubis, grey number 3 with hook and flail, charcoal 2 with vase, charcoal 2 with Ankh, beige number 2 with eagle and black 1 with a treasure chest. Other symbols include the Scarab white and scatter white dice.

There are four progressive jackpots on offer; clubs is level one and offers the smallest jackpot and the cash prizes grown and grow through the following tiers; diamonds, hearts and spades. These jackpots are triggered at any time randomly. Find out more about this is the rewarding features section below.

Rewarding Features

To begin with you have the ‘Jackpot Cards’ mystery bonus – this can be triggered randomly after any spin of the reels. You are required to select three cards from a selection of 12 laid face down on your screen. Match three of the same suit to win the corresponding progressive jackpot to the top of the reels.

Wild – the Scarab dice is the wild and will replace all symbols on the reels except the scatter, to help create winning paylines.

Scatter – the white dice is the scatter and 2 or more on the reels will award free spins and a multiplier amount.

Free spins – 15 free spins are provisionally awarded with a 3x multiplier. However, you can retrigger more free spins during the free spins mode.

The gamble feature allows you to gamble any base game win and is a simple ‘guess the colour suit’ game. If you predict correctly, you will double your initial win and you can continue to guess to win more – but guess incorrectly just the once and you will end up back on the reels with nothing.

Our Summary

We thoroughly enjoyed playing Dice of Ra and found it to be of medium variance. You may be spinning the reels a while before triggering the free spins, but unlike other online slot machines, you only need 2 scatter symbols opposed to 3. The free spins feature allowed for some healthy returns, especially when combined with the wild symbols.

We managed to the ‘Jackpot Cards’ mystery bonus numerous times, but were unsuccessful in our attempt at triggering one of the progressive jackpots. The progressive jackpot feature is just as exciting as the slot game itself and can erupt at any time. As you spin the reels, those four jackpots will continue to grow, which adds to the excitement.
