3 Oaks, a developer producing new Hold and Win slots regularly, has recently released the third part of the Sun of Egypt series. The most significant difference between the three installments is the increasing jackpots and max win potential. With a potential of 10,000x, it might be challenging to surpass if Booongo continues the ancient Egypt series.
The Sun of Egypt series always includes a bonus round where low-paying royal symbols are removed. However, the main draw is the Hold & Win feature, which introduces a mystery symbol and the opportunity to upgrade to a Super version. Players still need to fill the grid to win the Royal Jackpot.
The Wild symbol substitutes for all regular pay symbols to complete winning combinations, paying 12x your stake for five of a kind wins. The Free Spins round is triggered by landing three scatters anywhere in view, awarding eight free spins.
The Hold and Win feature is activated by six or more sun bonus symbols, which become sticky on an otherwise cleared grid. The bonus cash symbols land with random values between 1x and 15x your stake, and jackpot symbols can also appear. Filling all 15 positions wins the Royal Jackpot worth 10,000x your stake.
Super Bonus symbols can land on reel 5 in the base game and during the free spins round, or on any reel during the bonus game. Five or more Super Bonus symbols trigger the Super Bonus Game, which introduces higher value bonus cash symbols.
Booongo’s Hold and Win series currently includes 27 installments, with only 15 Dragon Pearls having a higher potential than Sun of Egypt 3. Despite the lack of novelty and generic visual presentation, the series continues to offer solid gameplay with increasing potential. However, to achieve substantial winnings, players will most likely need to activate the Hold and Win feature.
Similar to the previous releases, Sun of Egypt 1 and 2, the latest installment also removes all low-value royal symbols in the bonus round. However, the potential to win jackpots in the Hold & Win bonus feature has increased massively across the series. Ganesha Boost Hold and Win, another game in the series, offers a mix of Asian-style visuals, Hindu mythology and a Hold & Win bonus game with jackpots up to 5,000x your stake.
