Dawn of Egypt Slot Explained
Dawn of Egypt is Play’n GO’s sequel to Legacy of Egypt: a 5x3, 10-payline slot where the free spins are decided by the Wheel of the Gods and every bonus spin upgrades the reels with a chosen premium symbol. The maximum win is 5,000x the stake.
How the game plays
The scarab jewel is the wild, substituting for everything except the pyramid scatter, and Horus tops the paytable at 100x the stake for a line of five, with Bastet, snakes, scorpions, ankhs and lotus flowers beneath. Wins run left to right across the ten lines, and volatility sits firmly on the high side — the base game is a slow burn that saves itself for the features.
The Wheel of the Gods
Land three or more pyramid scatters and the Wheel of the Gods spins to decide your fate: anywhere from 3 to 20 free spins. It’s a dramatic mechanic with real range — a stingy wheel stings, a generous one sets up the game’s best moments.
Symbol upgrades and Pyramid Spins
On every free spin, one premium symbol is chosen and other symbols upgrade into it, packing the reels with matching high-pays — when Horus is chosen, the screen fills with the game’s top symbol. The pyramid also acts as a wild scatter during the round, and landing two or more triggers Pyramid Spins: extra spins that lock in the upgraded symbol from the triggering spin, retriggerable without limit. That locked-Horus scenario is where the 5,000x ceiling lives.
RTP and volatility
The default RTP is 96.23%, but Play’n GO runs an RTP-range model and materially lower versions circulate, so the game’s info panel is essential reading here. High volatility, stakes from 10p to £100.
