You’ve probably seen ancient Egypt in slot games before, but Ra’s Relics Bonanza does it a little differently. For one, it’s much more intense right off the bat. There’s cascading wins, a “pays anywhere” engine, and a mystical golden scarab that could just have Free Spins up its sleeve. Booming Games is behind this desert-drenched release, which traded in traditional paylines for cluster-style payouts.
The setting is still very much into Egyptian mythology, no surprises there, but with a slightly moodier palette than usual. It all plays out on a 6x5 stone-framed grid, with swirling desert winds in the background. Ra, Cleopatra, and assorted relics appear as symbols, with the Pharaoh as the game’s highest-paying character.
Ra’s Relics Bonanza uses a cluster payout system where 8 or more identical symbols landing anywhere trigger a win. The following table shows the payouts for symbol groups of 8–9, 10–11, and 12 or more.
Symbol | Payouts for 8–9, 10–11, 12+ |
Red Square | 0.50x, 1.50x, 5.00x |
Purple Hexagon | 0.80x, 2.00x, 8.00x |
Blue Diamond | 1.00x, 2.50x, 10.00x |
Green Triangle | 1.50x, 3.00x, 16.00x |
Eye of Ra | 2.00x, 5.00x, 20.00x |
Lotus | 3.00x, 7.50x, 25.00x |
Ankh | 4.00x, 10.00x, 30.00x |
Cleopatra | 5.00x, 20.00x, 50.00x |
Pharaoh | 20.00x, 75.00x, 200.00x |
In the base game, each Scatter that potentially lands gets collected into a glowing scarab beside the reels. At any point, seemingly at random, this scarab can decide it’s time to trigger Free Spins. That said, there’s no guarantee or visible progress bar, so it’s more of a mystery mechanic than a strategic one.
Free Spins trigger the standard way if you land four or more Scatters during a single cascade. You start with 10 Free Spins, and if three or more Scatters potentially show up again during the bonus, you’ll receive 5 more. The Free Spins round uses a different reel set that includes Random Multiplier symbols, which become key to building potential wins.
This feature is exclusive to the Free Spins mode. When these special symbols land, they display a multiplier value ranging from 2x to 100x. These aren’t tied to any specific win line, instead, they stick around, and after your final cascade has finished, all visible multipliers are added together and applied to the total potential win from that sequence.
Ra’s Relics Bonanza plays out on a 6-reel, 5-row grid with no traditional paylines. Wins can form by landing 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid, thanks to the “pays anywhere” engine. Each win causes a cascade, removing winning symbols and dropping new ones into place. The process continues until no further winning combinations appear.

Booming Games does a solid job with this one. The cascade system and pays-anywhere mechanic bring some much needed energy to the spins, while the Random Multiplier feature can lead to some surprisingly chunky sequences. That said, the Divine Scarab’s role in triggering Free Spins could feel vague to some players. It’s not exactly transparent. Still, if you're into slots that build over time rather than front-load, this one finds a middle ground that works.
