Wings of Ra brings an original Mystery Coin mechanic and a polished Egyptian theme, but its 94.70% RTP is the biggest drawback. On a high-volatility slot, -1.3% RTP vs. competitors translates to roughly -€130 per €10,000 wagered statistically. Consider Mega Pyramid or Vault of Anubis instead if you're after a Red Tiger Egypt title with a better RTP.
The mechanic in detail
Mystery Coin Symbol
The Mystery Coin lands randomly and reveals a matching symbol across every one of its Mystery positions. If several Mystery Coins land together and reveal the top symbol (Ra), the potential payout is enormous.
Free Spins plus Mystery Meter
Landing 3 / 4 / 5 scatters triggers 12 / 15 / 18 Free Spins. During the FS, a Mystery Meter fills with every new scatter. Once full, a random low-pay symbol permanently turns Mystery until the end of the FS. Each "stage" the meter reaches makes the FS denser with Mystery symbols.
Bothway Paylines
A Red Tiger specialty: the 10 paylines pay in both directions (left-to-right and right-to-left). That's effectively 20 virtual paylines, but with only 10 base stakes. More combinations land per spin.
Strategy for playing well
Low stakes are mandatory
94.70% RTP plus high volatility means a slot with a strongly negative mathematical expectation. If you play: stick to low stakes (€0.10-€0.50) to stretch your budget.
Chase the Free Spins
Positive EV comes from the FS with a filled Mystery Meter. Without FS, the slot bleeds your bankroll. Aim for 4 or 5 scatters on the trigger (15 or 18 FS) rather than 3 (12 FS).
Strict stop-loss
Given the low RTP, set a strict 50% bankroll stop-loss for the session. If you lose 50% without hitting FS, switch slots. No point grinding it out.

FAQ Wings of Ra
Why the 94.70% RTP?
Red Tiger Gaming has historically served lower RTPs than the market average (94-95% vs. the 96-97% standard). Wings of Ra falls into that range. Red Tiger sometimes offers several versions (93.xx%, 92.xx%) depending on the casino — always check the in-game "i" icon.
How do the Bothway Paylines work?
The 10 paylines pay in both directions (left-to-right and right-to-left). A combination of 3 Ra symbols forming right-to-left pays exactly as much as a left-to-right one. 20 virtual paylines with a base stake of 10.
Why no bonus buy?
A Red Tiger design choice from 2020. Many of their slots don't offer a systematic bonus buy (unlike Pragmatic Play). Triggering the FS requires 3+ natural scatters.
Wings of Ra vs other Egyptian slots?
- Mega Pyramid (Red Tiger): 95.14% RTP (better), Sticky Wilds during FS
- Vault of Anubis (Red Tiger): an even better RTP
- Gates of Olympus (Pragmatic): 96.5% RTP, Zeus Multipliers mechanic
Wings of Ra remains the least recommended of the three given its 94.70% RTP.
Available on mobile?
Yes — HTML5, mobile-friendly on iOS/Android via browser.
To go further
BCE conclusion: Wings of Ra is a decent but unremarkable Red Tiger slot. An original Mystery Coin mechanic, but a below-average 94.70% RTP drags down the long-term EV. Worth trying out of curiosity, but consider Reel Keeper Power Reels or Vault of Anubis for a more profitable Red Tiger experience.
