Egypt Megaways is a Red Tiger built on a Megaways-style setup. The game combines cascading wins with expanding Super Wild reels and a free spins feature that lets players choose between different bonus options. The Eye of Horus collection system, roaming multiplier wilds, and growing bonus multipliers give Egypt Megaways a bit more personality than the average trip down the Nile.
Ancient Egypt might be one of the most heavily used themes in the online slots world, and Red Tiger hasn't really brought anything new to the theme. Even so, we have to admit this is one good looking slot.
The reels sit inside a grand temple filled with statues, columns, glowing torches, hieroglyphics and Egyptian artefacts and above the grid sit glowing indicators connected to the Eye of Horus feature.
The premium symbols include stylised feathers, scrolls, fans, snakes, and ankhs. Animations are smooth throughout, especially when full-reel Super Wilds appear. Winning symbols explode from the reels before new symbols tumble into place.
| Symbol | Payout for 3, 4, 5, 6 of a kind |
|---|---|
| Ten | 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 |
| Jack | 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5 |
| Queen | 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.6 |
| King | 0.2, 0.3, 0.6, 0.7 |
| Ace | 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 |
| Feather | 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1 |
| Scroll | 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 |
| Fan | 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.5 |
| Snake | 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 |
| Ankh | 0.6, 1.2, 2.5, 5 |
Winning symbols are removed from the reels after a successful combination. New symbols fall into the empty spaces and can create additional wins from the same spin. This process continues until no new winning combinations are formed.
The four middle reels each have four lights positioned above them. Whenever an Eye of Horus symbol lands, one randomly selected light becomes active.
When all four lights above a reel are illuminated, that reel transforms into a Gold Super Wild. The Super Wild remains sticky and stays in position until all four lights have been used. One light is removed each time the Super Wild contributes to a winning combination.
Landing three scatter symbols opens a bonus selection screen where players choose one of three options:
During free spins, Super Wilds remain active and can move around the four middle reels. A fresh multiplier between x2 and x7 is assigned to each Super Wild on every spin.
Alongside the wild multipliers, the feature includes a global win multiplier. This starts at x1 and increases by one after every cascading win, up to a maximum of x15.
Egypt Megaways uses six reels with variable reel heights, and winning combinations are formed by matching symbols from left to right across adjacent reels.
The game uses a cascading mechanic, meaning symbols involved in a win disappear before new symbols drop into place. This creates opportunities for multiple wins from a single paid spin.

We think Egypt Megaways does a good job of taking a familiar theme and giving it enough character to stand apart from the crowd. The Super Wild reels are easily the highlight but the free spins choices are also a nice touch.
If we had one criticism, it would simply be that the Egyptian setting itself feels very familiar, but, as usual, Red Tiger shines with the graphics. Players who enjoy cascading wins, multiplier wilds and feature-heavy Megaways slots should find plenty to like here.
