With well over a thousand different slot machines available online it can often become tough for software companies to come up with new themes and ideas for games. We’ve seen many Ancient Egyptian themed slots over the years, however that hasn’t put Playtech off creating more of them. Their latest release is a game called ‘Daring Dave and the Eye of Ra’ and it lives up to expectations, already proving very popular amongst players.
Like a lot of Playtech slots (view our list of them), Daring Dave and the Eye of Ra is a 5-reel, 30-payline slot machine. The symbols featured include card ranks from 10 to Aces as is standard with most online slot machines, with bigger prizes being represented by Egyptian gods such as Thoth, Anubis and Ra. As you would expect, the largest prized symbol in the game is Dave who will win you up to 5,000 coins if you land him five times. One important feature that stands out is that Dave acts as an expanding wild on the second, third, and fourth reels and he can even stretch out to make the whole reel wild – meaning big wins for players!
One other symbol to look out for is the Eye of Ra logo. This symbol acts as a scatter and landing two or more of them will see you win a prize depending upon how much you wagered. It can be as much as 125x your wager so it can be very rewarding!
While these symbols offer generous payouts, the biggest rewards in the game come from the amazing bonus game which is called The Quest for the Eye of Ra. To activate this bonus game in Daring Dave and the Eye of Ra you must hit the pyramid symbol on both the first and fifth reels on the same spin. The thrill of this feature is the fact that it is a multi-level bonus game with tasks to complete and big rewards on offer as you progress.
The first task in the bonus game sees you try to solve a combination to clear eight stones which are blocking a doorway (the doorway is your entry to the next level of the game). In order to pass this challenge you must find three ‘Eye of Ra’ symbols out of the eight stones. You are given three opportunities to complete this challene, and if you fail to do so you are returned to the main game, however your progress is saved for the next time.
Part two of the bonus game sees you spin a wheel which has three pointers on it. The wheel features several Eye of Ra symbols and the goal is to land on them three times. Every time you land on an Eye of Ra symbol it will light up, and once three are landed on you will progress to part three of the bonus game, with other landings winning you cash prizes. Once again you have three opportunities to progress or else you will go back to the main game, but progress is saved for when you get back to the bonus feature.
The final part of the bonus game sees you pick one of three paths in an attempt to get to the Eye of Ra. This is a win-win game because if you pick the wrong path you will win a small cash prize and you are reminded of the paths you previously selected so are guaranteed to pick the correct one by your third attempt meaning a big win and the completion of the bonus game and time to start again for more cash prizes!
