Wings of Ra is a Red Tiger slot the studio calls a 5x3 Egyptian adventure with 10 win lines where all wins pay adjacent. It has two features: all Mystery Coins in a spin reveal the same random symbol, and in Free Spins every coin fills a progress bar that turns the lowest-paying symbols into more coins. Red Tiger rates the volatility Extreme and lists a 3,166x maximum payout.
RTP (return to player): the share of bets the game pays back over time, as Red Tiger publishes it.

Where Wings of Ra comes from
Red Tiger released Wings of Ra on 27 February 2020. Wings of Ra Megaways followed in December 2024 as a separate game with its own figures, and this page covers only the original.
How Wings of Ra plays
Five reels, three symbols high, spin on 10 win lines. 'All wins pay adjacent' is Red Tiger's own phrase for it.
There are nine regular symbols: 10, J, Q, K and A, an eye, a winged bird in red and gold, a woman's head in a tall blue crown and a gold mask in a striped headdress. There is no wild.
Mystery Coins: one symbol for every coin in a spin
A Mystery Coin spins to reveal a random symbol, and all Mystery Coins in a spin reveal the same one. Four coins in one spin show four copies of one symbol, wherever they landed. In Free Spins each coin also counts towards the progress bar.
How many free spins the scatters award
The Free Spins symbol is a scatter that counts anywhere, but only one can land on each reel. Three start the round, and each one more adds three spins.
| Free Spins symbols | Free spins | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 12 | The help: three anywhere award 12 bonus spins |
| 4 | 15 | Our sum from the help's rule, 12 + 3 |
| 5 | 18 | The help: at most five, for a total of 18 |
The progress bar in Free Spins
No Free Spins symbols land during the round, so it cannot be retriggered. What changes is the set of symbols in play, through a bar that Mystery Coins fill.
-
Coins fill the bar
Every Mystery Coin that lands in a free spin goes into the bar, and 14 fill it. The bar can fill several times. -
A full bar converts the lowest symbols
Each time the bar is full, the current lowest-paying symbols turn into Mystery Coins, and coins no longer reveal the converted symbol. -
Converted symbols count as well
Symbols that turn into Mystery Coins on the reels also count towards the bar, so a conversion itself moves the bar on. -
It stops at the top symbol
The bar keeps filling until every symbol but the highest-paying one has become a coin. From then on a coin can reveal only that top symbol.
22.49% hits, two volatility labels and two maximum figures
Red Tiger gives a hit frequency of 22.49%: over a long run, roughly 22 spins in every 100 end with a win.
The volatility badge on Red Tiger's page reads EXTREME, while Evolution's games site lists the game as High. The facts panel shows Red Tiger's label, and our guide to RTP and volatility explains what such labels describe.
Red Tiger's page carries two maximum figures: 3,166 times the bet in its numbers, which Evolution's site repeats, and treasures 'up to 3,000x your stake' in its description. At R5 a spin, 3,166x is R15,830, though neither figure says what a spin pays.
Red Tiger lists no Feature Buy, so Free Spins start from the scatters. Red Tiger puts the return at 95.69%.
Wings of Ra RTP and volatility
Red Tiger gives Wings of Ra's return to player as 95.69%.
Volatility is extreme: most spins return little or nothing, and the return rests on rare, very large hits that many sessions never see.
Top payout: 3166x.

Pros, cons and verdict
- All Mystery Coins in a spin reveal the same symbol
- In Free Spins the bar can convert every symbol but the highest-paying one
- The award is fixed by the scatter count: 12, 15 or 18 spins for three, four or five
- Symbols the bar turns into coins also count towards the bar
- No retrigger: Free Spins symbols do not land during the round
- Extreme on Red Tiger's volatility badge (High on Evolution's games site)
- No Feature Buy on Red Tiger's page, so the round waits on the scatters
- Fewer than one spin in four ends with a win, by the 22.49% hit frequency
Wings of Ra keeps its rules short: Mystery Coins that all reveal the same symbol in a spin, and 12 to 18 free spins in which every coin moves a bar that turns the current lowest-paying symbols into more coins. The round cannot be retriggered, so its length is fixed when it starts, and each fill of the bar narrows what the coins can reveal.
Wings of Ra FAQ
How do free spins start in Wings of Ra?
Three Free Spins scatters anywhere on the reels award 12 spins, and each one over three adds three more. Only one can land per reel, so five give the most, 18. No scatters land during the round itself, so it cannot be retriggered.
What do Mystery Coins do?
A Mystery Coin spins to reveal a random symbol, and all coins in the same spin reveal the same one. In Free Spins every coin also counts towards a progress bar; 14 fill it, and each fill turns the current lowest-paying symbols into more coins.
Can the progress bar fill more than once?
Yes. It can fill several times, until every symbol except the highest-paying one has become a Mystery Coin. Once a symbol is converted, coins no longer reveal it.
What is the maximum win in Wings of Ra?
Red Tiger's page gives two figures: a maximum payout of 3,166 times the bet, and 'up to 3,000x your stake' in its description. On a R2 bet, 3,166x comes to R6,332. Neither says what a session will pay.
Is Wings of Ra the same game as Wings of Ra Megaways?
No. Wings of Ra Megaways (December 2024) is a separate game with its own figures. This page covers the February 2020 original, so check the full title on a casino's tile.
