Ra the God of Sun (Live22): how the Mighty Wild and locked reels work

Ra the God of Sun is GamingSoft's take on the ancient Egypt theme, and on Live22 it sits among the older reel titles in the lobby. The pitch is simple: extra bonus games, jackpots and a wild symbol that carries far more weight than usual.

What is on the Ra the God of Sun reels

The screen is what you would expect from the theme: gold, sandstone and Egyptian iconography, with the sun god himself as the centrepiece. The game was built for web browsers, and the mobile version runs well on most phones and tablets, so the Live22 app is a comfortable way to play it.

The wild and the Mighty Wild line

The wild replaces every regular symbol. It does not stand in for the bonus or jackpot symbols, so those still have to land on their own.

Line up five wilds on a payline and the game calls it a Mighty Wild. That combination pays up to 30 times your total bet, which makes the wild the symbol to watch on every spin.

Stacked wilds that lock for free spins

Wilds can also land stacked, filling an entire reel from top to bottom. When that happens the reel locks in place and you are handed three free spins with it held. A locked wild reel gives every payline crossing it a head start, so those three spins matter more than the count suggests.

Setting your stake

Because the headline payouts are tied to your total bet, a bigger stake only scales the same odds. Pick a bet you can repeat for a good number of spins, since the locked-reel feature arrives at random and can take a while. If you want to try it, you can play Ra the God of Sun on Live22, and there are more Live22 reel notes if you prefer another theme.
