Legacy of Ra Megaways slot review (Blueprint Gaming)

Legacy of Ra Megaways is an excellent blend of a Book of Ra  and Megaways slot

Blueprint Gaming is rapidly growing into an absolute emperor of the Megaways slot.

Not only are they releasing new Megaways slots at breakneck speed, but often their titles are also among the best Megaways slots. Take hits like Primal Megaways, Jackpot Genies Megaways and Vikings Unleashed, for instance.

Most Blueprint Gaming Megaways slots allow you to access the bonus directly by putting down a one-time payment. This does allow you to skip what could be an unbearably long process of hundreds of unsuccessful spins in the primary game, but it also enables you to enjoy a higher payout rate.

Legacy of Ra, for example, pays out an average of 96.01% in the primary game. Not bad, but certainly not very spectacular either. If you choose to buy the bonus round right away, the Return To Player (RTP) suddenly skyrockets to an impressive 97.01%.

And that’s a great advantage for sure.

How does the Legacy of Ra Megaways slot work?

You play Legacy of Ra Megaways on 6 reels, and there are up to 15,625 ways for you to win. Those are a little fewer Megaways than you might expect from a Megaways slot, but there’s a reason for that.

Legacy of Ra is a Book of Ra clone, and among the real experts, I need not say more: during the free spins, symbols can expand. And so a massive potential is created. In this configuration, you can win up to 50,000 x the total bet with Legacy of Ra, which is more than enough risk for online casinos.

Bets start from $€ 0.10 and can reach a maximum of up to $€ 100 per spin.

The variance of this slot is exceptionally high.

Symbols and payouts

You can divide the symbols into three categories:

• The highest-value symbol: the Lara Croft look-alike Archaeologist
• The medium-value symbols
• The low-value card symbols

The Lara Croft-like lady awards 25 x the total bet for 6-of-a-kind.

The medium symbols are worth between 2.5 x and 5 x the total bet for 6 of the same symbols.

If you spin 6 x a 9, 10, J, Q, K or A, you win between 1 x and 1.5 x the bet.

Unlike Book of Ra or Book of Dead, the scatters and the wild symbols are two separate entities.

The scatters activate the bonus game, and the wilds replace all other symbols except the scatters.

Free spins bonus

3 or more scatters activate the free spins bonus:

• 3 scatters: 10 free spins.
• 4 scatters: 15 free spins
• 5 scatters: 25 free spins
• 6 scatters: 50 free spins

Before you enter the free spins, a special symbol is determined, expanding across the entire reel during the bonus round.

A screen full of identical symbols will always reward you loads of cash, even in the case of the low-value card symbols.

It is possible to retrigger unlimited free spins.

Ra Bonus Bet: Buy the bonus for 100 x the bet.

If you don’t want to wait until you finally manage to spin 3 or more scatters in the primary game?

Then you can buy yourself instant access to the bonus game for 100 x the total bet.

This is an attractive deal; however, it is also a dangerous one. Due to the high variance in Legacy of Ra Megaways, the bonus feature may lead to massive profits from time to time, but even more frequently than that, you might lose 50% to 60% of the bets you make.

Our advice: only buy the Ra Bonus Bets if you’re on a huge winning streak and if you want to do something crazy with your payout. Ensure a large part of your profits in advance, as the Ra Bonus Bet button can be very addictive.

Our verdict on the Legacy of Ra Megaways slot

It almost seems as if Blueprint Gaming has the Midas Touch for their Megaways slots: virtually everything they make in this field instantly turns into gold.

Legacy of Ra Megaways is also a worthy addition to their already impressive collection of Megaways slots.

3.8 out of 5 stars.
