Riddle Of The Sphinx Review

Red Tiger is no stranger to simple, straightforward slots with an ancient civilization theme, and Riddle Of The Sphinx fits nicely with that description. In mythology, the Sphinx was known for hard-to-crack riddles, and the consequences for providing the wrong answer was a bit more than losing a couple of bucks. Nothing too enigmatic is presented in this game however, as it’s really all about hitting the bonus round.

The base game is pretty much a grind, but you do get a spreading wild win here and there to keep you going. The visual presentation has long since become a cliché in the world of online slots, and everything looks intentionally dated in this game. You get to choose your destiny in the bonus round, as the Sphinx provides you with 4 options. The 8,002x max win is more decent than usual from Red Tiger, but the highest default RTP of 95.66 % is below average, as usual.

Riddle Of The Sphinx Slot Features

Central to this game is the 1x2 Pharaoh Wild, and it will convert all adjacent symbols into wilds whenever it lands. It’s called the Dynasty Wild feature, and it triggers both in the base game and during bonus round spins.

You trigger the Free Spins Round when you land 3 scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin.

You get to choose between 4 different free spins options, and what varies is the number of spins and the wild multiplier value. Here’s an overview of your options:

• 6 free spins with 8x spreading wild.
• 12 free spins with 4x spreading wild.
• 24 free spins with 2x spreading wild.
• Mystery option combines any of the above randomly.

You can expect to see a bit more of the Dynasty spreading wild feature in the bonus round, and the multiplier value spreads to all the wilds. However, more than one wild being part of a winning combo does not increase the total multiplier value.

We landed the Dynasty Wild only 1 time during base game play, and it gave us an okay payout.

Review Summary

The biggest riddle in this game is which bonus round option to go for, as everything else is pretty standard and straightforward stuff. The base game doesn’t offer much in terms of features and winnings, but you get the occasional Dynasty wild sprinkled in to keep you somewhat afloat. Don’t expect too much from it though, and the most you can win on a single non-multiplier spin is 1,000x your stake.

It’s hard to say if 6 spins with an 8x multiplier wild is the way to go, but when in doubt, perhaps the golden middle way option is your best bet. If you feel like you’re on a roll, you can always gamble with the Mystery option. Getting 24 spins with an 8x multiplier wild certainly sounds like a hot ticket. Ultimately, you just have to go with your gut, as the 8,002x potential can be won from all 4 options.

Pros

• Spreading Dynasty wild feature
• Bonus round w/ 4 options
• Win up to 8,002x your stake

Cons

• Highest RTP of 95.66 % is below average
• Beware of customizable RTP ranges

If you appreciate Riddle Of The Sphinx Slot you should also try:

Wings Of Ra - is a somewhat similar game from Red Tiger, but here the wild feature has been replaced by a mystery symbol. Fill the mystery meter during the bonus round, and all lower value royals that land will be mystery symbols.

Kingdoms Rise Battle Beast - is a lot more elaborate than the game at hand, and you can look forward to the Ways Plus feature increasing the number of rows and win ways. This is even more true in the bonus round, where you stand to win up to 10,000x your stake.

Aurum Codex - is another Red Tiger title that’s focused around modifying wilds. This time the wilds can land on reels 1 and 5 only, and if the wilds appear on both reels on the same row, all symbols between them turn wild too. The wilds become sticky in the bonus round, where you can win up to 4,131x your stake.
