Sun of Egypt 3 Slot Review

Sun of Egypt 3 Slot Features

When I sat down with Sun of Egypt 3 the first thing that hit me was how close it stays to the earlier games while pushing the prizes higher. You get a 5x3 layout with 25 fixed paylines and high volatility, so the base game can feel quiet for stretches. The maths is built around those Hold and Win rounds and jackpots, with regular spins mainly feeding into the feature triggers.

The Ancient Egypt theme feels familiar, but the presentation from 3 Oaks Gaming (Booongo) is sharp and clear, even on small screens. I like that the studio kept the gameplay straightforward: no confusing side bets, just spins, cash suns, scatters and wilds working together. For me Sun of Egypt 3 sits in that sweet spot where the mechanics are simple yet the hit potential can reach serious levels.

Sun of Egypt 3 Symbols and Paytable

Visually Sun of Egypt 3 is all about deep reds and golds, with the reels framed by hieroglyphs and a desert skyline behind them. On the reels the low symbols are J to A royals in bright colours, while the premiums are Egyptian icons in gold frames. The lotus, Eye of Horus, ankh and profile symbol pay better, with the last one giving 10x your stake for five on a payline.

The golden pharaoh mask is the wild in Sun of Egypt 3 and it can substitute for standard symbols to help complete lines. Hitting three, four or five wilds in a line pays 0.8x, 2.4x or 12x your bet, so a screen full of pharaohs can land a hefty base game hit. The gold pot works as the scatter and is tied to the free spins feature rather than cash payouts.

Cash suns are the key special symbols. Regular orange suns show credit values between 1x and 15x, while darker suns signal the Super Bonus mode. During Hold and Win only these symbols appear, and they can also carry Mini, Minor, Major or Grand jackpot labels. Mystery suns add extra tension, as they reveal their true jackpot or cash value only after the bonus game has finished.

Sun of Egypt 3 RTP, Volatility & Bets

For players who care about numbers, Sun of Egypt 3 runs on a 95.61% RTP with high volatility and a stated top prize of up to 10,000x your bet. Stakes range from 0.25 to 20 per spin across 25 fixed lines, so I tend to treat it as a medium to high budget slot. Line wins start from three of a kind from the leftmost reel, as you would expect.

Bonus Features in Sun of Egypt 3

The main attraction in Sun of Egypt 3 is the Hold and Win bonus game. Landing at least six sun symbols in view triggers it and you start with three respins. Triggering suns lock in place and any new sun resets the counter back to three. When you run out of spins, you collect the total of all visible cash values and any jackpotted suns on the grid.

If one of the suns on the triggering spin is a darker Super Bonus symbol, the feature upgrades to the Super Bonus round. In my sessions this is where the better values show up, and the chance to line up larger jackpots feels much higher. Fill all fifteen positions with suns and you take the Royal Jackpot worth 10,000x, which is the headline win for the slot.

There is also a classic free spins round in Sun of Egypt 3, triggered by three scatters for eight spins. During free spins the low-paying royals are removed, leaving only premiums, wilds, scatters and suns. This trims the dead spins and makes each spin feel more loaded, especially when wilds line up across the middle reels. Hitting three more scatters adds another batch of eight free spins.

How To Play Sun of Egypt 3

I find Sun of Egypt 3 very easy to set up. I open the paytable and rules through the information button first, just to refresh the symbol values and how the Hold and Win works. Then I pick a stake level with the plus and minus buttons, bearing in mind the high volatility. Once the bet looks right for my balance and session plan, it is just a case of hitting spin or choosing autoplay.

Like with any high variance slot, I set a clear stop loss and target before I start. The game can go many spins without a feature, so I prefer to play in shorter sessions instead of chasing. Wins show in the last win box and then move into the main balance, which makes it simple to track how the session is going without digging through extra menus or pop ups.

Sun of Egypt 3 Slot on Mobile

Sun of Egypt 3 runs smoothly on my phone and tablet, thanks to the HTML5 build. The layout is kept clean, with the spin button tucked to the side and the stake controls easy to tap even on a smaller screen. Graphics and animations stay sharp in portrait mode, and I have not noticed any change in the odds or feature frequency between desktop and mobile play.

Our Verdict on Sun of Egypt 3

As someone who spends a lot of time on Hold and Win titles, I rate Sun of Egypt 3 as one of the better Egyptian themed versions. The design is polished, the jackpots scale well with stake size, and the Super Bonus mode gives real punch to the feature. It does not reinvent the genre, but it feels solid and satisfying when the suns start chaining together.

The downside is the lower RTP and the naturally spiky hit pattern. Sessions can swing hard, especially at higher bets, so I treat it as a game for measured, disciplined play rather than casual spinning. If you enjoy jackpot chases with straightforward rules, sharp visuals and big top potential, Sun of Egypt 3 is a slot I am happy to come back to when I fancy that style of risk.
