Game Mechanics and Features

The title operates on a standard 5-reel setup with 25 fixed betting lines. Players can adjust their stake from $0.25 to $125 per spin. The RTP sits at 95.53% with high volatility that creates bigger wins but less frequent payouts. Maximum win potential reaches 7,500x the total bet amount. Wild icons substitute for all regular characters except the scatter and bonus elements. These wilds appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 during base gameplay. The scatter shows as a golden pyramid and triggers free spins when three or more land anywhere on the grid.

Hold and Win Bonus Round

The Hold and Win feature activates when six or more sun coins appear on the reels. This mechanic works differently from standard free spins:

  1. All triggering coins lock in place on the grid
  2. Royal Reels Players receive three respins to collect more coins
  3. Each new coin that lands resets the respin counter back to three
  4. Coins display cash values or jackpot symbols
  5. The round continues until respins run out or all positions fill
  6. Filling the entire grid awards the Grand Jackpot

Four progressive jackpots become available during this bonus mode. The Mini jackpot starts at 20x while the Grand reaches 2,000x the bet. Coins can also show multiplier values that add to the total prize pool.

Visual Design and Audio

The graphics showcase Egyptian temples, golden artifacts and hieroglyphics across the reels. Background music uses traditional instruments to create an authentic atmosphere. Animations play when winning combinations form, with characters coming to life briefly. The sun coin symbols glow and pulse when they land, drawing attention to potential bonus triggers. Color schemes focus on gold, blue and sandy tones that match the desert theme. The interface remains clean with all buttons clearly labeled at the bottom of the screen. Autoplay options let users set between 10 and 100 automatic spins with optional loss and win limits.
