The Judge's Verdict

The verdict on Sun of Egypt, 3 Oaks Gaming's (formerly Booongo) 2019 Hold & Win pokie, is simple: it's an honest, low-stakes introduction to the sticky-Sun grind, not a slot you chase for a life-changing spin. Published figures put the RTP at roughly 95%, a touch under the industry's 96% mark, the variance leans high, and the top payout is modest by Hold & Win standards at around 1,000x. If you want to learn how the mechanic feels without it bleeding you dry, it earns a look. If you're hunting a big-number screenshot, the later sequels aim higher.

✔ The good

  • Tense Hold & Win respin-reset loop
  • Free spins strip out low symbols for better triggers
  • Low $0.25 entry point
  • Clean HTML5 build on mobile

⚠ The catch

  • RTP sits below the 96% benchmark
  • Top payout is small for a Hold & Win slot
  • No bonus buy
  • RTP and version can vary by casino, so check before you play

How Sun of Egypt plays

Here's the maths first. You're on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 25 fixed paylines, betting from $0.25 up to around $60 a spin. The headline mechanic is the Sun symbol: land six or more anywhere and you trigger Hold & Win. You get three respins, every Sun sticks, and each fresh Sun resets your respins back to three. It ends when the board fills or the respins run out.

That respin-reset loop is the slot's best idea. It's genuinely tense, and because the low card-rank symbols get stripped out during the free spins round, you trigger Hold & Win more often in there. The Sun symbols carry the prizes, including Mini and Major jackpot values pegged to your bet, with the Grand reserved for a fully covered board, which is where the top multiplier lives.

The catch: the value just isn't there at the top end. A sub-96% RTP paired with a max win in the region of 1,000x means the upside is capped hard. You can fill a respectable chunk of the board and still walk away with a return a single decent payline on a higher-ceiling title would beat. It's pleasant; it's not lucrative. One more warning: the published RTP can vary by operator and by version, so it's worth confirming the setting your casino is running before you spin. Slots are entertainment, not income, and there's no such thing as a guaranteed win here. Play only if you're 18+ and only with money you can afford to lose.
