Sun of Egypt 2

Introducing Sun of Egypt 2 slot

Just one year after the release of the hugely popular Sun of Egypt, 3 Oaks Gaming will shortly release the sequel. Sun of Egypt 2 relies on the same Egyptian theme offering many features and some superb game play. Fans of the original slot will not be disappointed, as although the two slots are extremely similar, they present a different style. Although the ancient Egypt theme is increasingly common 3 Oaks Gaming have certainly managed to make it their own.

Theme & Design

There is nothing new when it comes to Egyptian themed slots and this has to be one of the most common themes used, however Sun of Egypt 2 takes the quality of this theme up a notch delivering slick graphics, atmospheric music and there is no detail that has been overlooked. The first thing you will notice as this slot loads is the sound effects. There's intriguing background music which provides suspense before you even begin to spin the reels. The backdrop is beautifully animated and takes place against a backdrop of sand dunes with the blazing sun shining down on your reels. In terms of design the slot brings classic together with the retro feel to provide a luxury ambience and superb game play. Although the theme is not original, this sequel is a joy to look at with background music that I could listen to for hours.

The Pharaoh jackpot is awarded if you manage to lock suns across all 15 positions on your reels and the reward for this is a huge 5,000x your bet.
