The Riddle of the Sphinx is an Egyptian-themed video slot by Red Tiger Gaming. The game takes us back to the time when the vast and majestic ancient Egyptian civilization was at its height. Here we find the worldwide famous Sphinx of Giza, one of the last 7 ancient wonders of the world. This unusual and mysterious monument has the face of a man and the body of a lion and is supposed to represent Ra-Horakhty the powerful sun god, The Sphinx has a riddle to be solved and if you can decipher the riddle then you might just stand a chance to win the ultimate prize!
The theme of Riddle of the Sphinx is visually decent enough. The slot has 5-reels, 4-rows, and 20-paylines and five reels are sets over the backdrop of Egyptian sands, with pyramids in the background. Overall, the design suits the game well. The Egyptian soundtrack playing in the background compliments the theme nicely.
As far as symbols go, there are the 9 regular low-paying symbols as well as the Royals 10, J, Q, K, and A. There are also the high-paying symbols which are represented by an Ankh, Hand-fans, Eyes, and Scarabs. The wild symbol is the Pharaoh and it helps to form winning combinations. There is of course also the scatter symbol that activates the free spins round.
The game features Dynasty Wilds that expand and turn adjacent symbols wild too. In the base game, you will rarely land hits of 15x, and the 3 scatters needed are quite hard to land. However, when you do manage to land them, it can be tremendously exciting as not much is needed to get a huge combination with the multiplying block Pharaoh Wilds. It's here where you really stand the chance of unlocking the riddle of the sphinx, and might just be able to gain access to the hidden treasure buried in the desert sands.
During free spins, you choose your amount of spins and the multipliers or if you are not sure, then use the random generator to choose an option for you. During free spins the gameplay is more or less the same, however, the Dynasty wild is more active on the reels to help with big wins.
The slot can take forever to trigger, my first free spins took well over 600 spins and paid just over x50, to be honest. This game is highly volatile, but the ultimate question is: Do you have what it takes to solve the Riddle of the Sphinx?
