Leading iGaming publisher Yggdrasil partnered with Thunderbolt Gaming to bring players an Egyptian themed online slot, the Rise and Fall of Ra. This game features six expanding reels, a thrilling Bonus Wheel and reverse play during the free spins mode. Players are initially confronted with a variable-reel matrix, with sliding columns atop each reel. These columns inch up at least one spot for every Horus symbol that lands. These can max out to create a 6×9 structure offering a staggering 531,441 ways to win.
If any column expands to its full height, a Bonus Wheel will be launched which can award free spins, a re-spins mode, a small or large prize wheel, or sticky stacked wilds, as players unlock the full potential of the reels. The Bonus Wheel is one of two ways to unlock the free spins, with the mode also launched if three or more Scatter symbols land on a single spin.
During the feature, all reels are reset to three symbols high, with a Bonus Wheel being awarded if the column fully expands. The two prize wheels and sticky stacked wilds remain present on the main wheel, while a direct cash prize can also be awarded. Players can also increase their chances of unlocking a Bonus Wheel with the Boost, or progress directly to the free spins phase via the Buy Bonus. Rise and Fall of Ra is the second game produced by Thunderbolt Gaming as part of the YGG Masters program, following 2023 hit Mayan Waterfalls.
Mark McGinley, Chief Gaming Officer at Yggdrasil, said: “Thunderbolt Gaming is a YGG Masters partner that has an unmistakable approach to game design, with a careful focus on mechanics, design, and ultimately the refined production of an exceptional slot experience. Rise and Fall of Ra sees a unique column lifting mechanic introduced as players can enjoy numerous different bonus modes, all while exploring the popular theme of Ancient Egypt.
The game is powered by GATI, Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology enabling partners to employ the pre-configured, regulation-ready, standardized development toolkit to consistently produce cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.
