Sun Wind Slot Review

Sun Wind Slot Overview

Sun Wind sees top online developer Swintt take their turn to walk like an Egyptian in a game laden with Pharaohs, the lovely Cleopatra, and an array of classic symbols from the era. A much-loved theme in the slot-o-sphere, we never mind taking another trip back to the time pyramids, and Swintt have gone all out to do the Egyptians justice. Should you channel your inner Tutankhamun to take this game for a sandy spin or three, you will discover a slot featuring Wild Scatters, a Hold and Win Sun Feature, and a potentially rewarding Free Spins Bonus, complete with Expanding Lucky Symbols. Find yourself favored by the slots winds in this one, and you may emerge with a 5,000x max win!

Some games go out of their way to introduce groundbreaking mechanics and eye-popping creative visuals, whilst others aim to present a solid repackaging of well-established mechanics. Sun Wins falls into the latter category. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that, of course, and it’s nice to see a light game offering a Hold and Win Game and Free Spins Bonus. The audio and visuals are well up to scratch, and the max win is perfectly fair for a game of this rating, but the less said about the RTP range, the better. Nevertheless, in terms of gameplay and presentation, this is a match for many similar titles without really doing enough to stand out from the crowd.

Sun Wind Slot Paylines

Here's a guide to all the payline on offer in Sun Wind:

Sun Wind Slot Features

Wild and Scatter Symbols

Eye of Ra Symbols are Wild and substitute for all other icons to help create winning combinations.

These multipurpose icons pay out at 2x, 20x, and 200x for three, four, or five and pave the way to the Free Spins Bonus.

Gamble Feature

Following any win, you may keep what you have won or go for more in the gamble game. Guess whether the next card will be Red or Black to double your win or predict the correct suit to multiply your payout by four.

You may gamble up to nine times following a win, but tread carefully, as if you guess wrong, you lose your winnings for that spin.

Sun Wind Slot Bonus Features

Sun Feature

In addition to the standard pay symbols and Wilds, the game features blazing Sun icons. Each Sun contains an attached prize of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 7x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 75x, or 150x, which may be won during the Sun Feature.

Landing three or more Suns on a single spin triggers the start of this Hold and Win-style game. You begin with three re-spins, and all triggering Suns lock in place on the grid. Each re-spin will see the remaining positions filled with a Sun or a Blank. Any Sun which lands will lock in place and reset your tally to three. Land only blanks and your tally will decrease by one.

Play continues until you run out of spins, at which point you win the values of all Sun Prizes in view.

Free Spins Bonus

Bag three or more Eye of Ra Scatters on the same spin, and you will march into the Free Spins Bonus with 10 free spins.

Landing three Scatters during the bonus round awards a full re-trigger.

Before the round begins, a standard pay symbol is selected to become the Lucky Symbol for the round. Whenever they appear, Lucky symbols expand to cover the whole reel.

The big selling point with the Lucky symbols is that they will pay out even if they don't land on adjacent reels, e.g., a Lucky symbol on reels one, three, and five awards all combinations of three-of-a-kind wins for that symbol.

Our Verdict There’s nothing new about the Hold and Win game or the “Book Of” Style free spins. Nevertheless, there is a reason that these features are so popular with players, and Swintt has done well to squeeze them both into the same game.

Sun Wind Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
94.51%	Yes	Low

The top-end 94.51% Return to Player (RTP) percentage fails to measure up to the industry average RTP of 96%.

Sun Wind sits in the low volatility sector of the Egyptian slots quarter. Games of this rating provide a smooth gaming experience, with a regular stream of low to medium wins.

Our Verdict The top-end RTP of 94.51% is disappointing and feels a little stingier than necessary for this type of game. You should also be aware that alternative, lower settings of 93.06%, 90.53%, and 85.23% are available. We always suggest consulting the information section of the game to discover the setting in use at your online casino of choice. With more and more games veering towards the high end of the volatility spectrum, the low setting and regular features of Sun Wind will be a breath of fresh air to many players.

Sun Wind Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

There’s nothing too imaginative on show in a rigidly traditional take on the genre, but everything is of an admirably high standard.

There’s only so much you can do with Playing Card values, but the creative font does at least make the low pays feel a little thematic.

The mid to high values are far more eye-catching, with the gold embellishments and searing Suns, in particular, popping nicely from the darkened grid.

An alternating night and day Pyramid-laden backdrop enhances the theme, whilst realistic flame animations add to the drama of the feature round.

Audio

In keeping with the visuals, the audio team have opted for a classically Egyptian soundtrack. Goblet drums set a decent pace as lyre and harps dance in and out to hypnotic effect.

The low-key soothing vibe of the ambient noise is enlivened by the reel effects, as clanks, thuds, and escalating vocal choruses greet the arrival of wins and special symbols.

Our Verdict As far as Egyptian games go, this is about as traditional as it gets. If you like the theme, you will almost certainly enjoy the experience, with the high-quality visuals, animations, and audio combining to create a well-polished take on the genre.

Sun Wind Slot on Mobile

Swintt can be relied upon to produce mobile-friendly releases, and Sun Wind continues that trend. The game is fully optimized for Android, iOS, and Windows-powered devices.
