Blaze of Ra

Blaze of Ra: Push Gaming's Egyptian Sun God Slot

Blaze of Ra is an Egyptian-themed video slot from Push Gaming, released in May 2018. Built around the mythology of Ra — the ancient sun deity — this 5-reel, 4-row title runs on 40 fixed paylines and delivers high volatility action powered by nudging wilds and stacked-wild free spins. At BetFury, you can load the game in demo mode to explore the mechanics before going live, or jump straight into real-money play with stakes from $0.20 per spin.

Ra the Wild: Nudging Mechanics in the Base Game

The Ra symbol serves dual roles as both the highest-paying symbol and the wild that substitutes for all other paying icons. What makes Ra particularly powerful is the nudging wild mechanic: whenever one or more Ra wilds land in the top one or two positions on any reel, they lock in place and nudge downward by one row on each subsequent spin, moving across the reel until they exit at the bottom. This guarantees multiple consecutive spins with active wilds on those reels, creating natural winning chains without requiring a bonus trigger.

This mechanic means Blaze of Ra has a far more active base game than most Egyptian-themed titles of its era. Players who appreciate wild-mechanic focused Egyptian slot design may also enjoy 10 Pharaohs demo, another Push Gaming release available on our platform that takes a different approach to the same ancient theme.

Free Spins: Stacked Wilds Across Three Reels

Three or more golden scarab scatter symbols activate the free spins bonus. Inside the round, reels 1, 3, and 5 are permanently stacked with wild Ra symbols for every spin. This stacked-wild configuration on three alternating reels means that any middle-reel symbols that connect across the stacked positions produce wins on the full 40-payline grid. Additional scarab scatters landing during the bonus award 1 to 2 extra spins, giving the feature some degree of extensibility.

The max observed win in Blaze of Ra is 2,000x the bet, and the game's high volatility rating reflects the fact that meaningful payouts are concentrated in the free spins. Patience in the base game watching the nudging wilds work through the reels is rewarded by the stacked-wild bonus when it arrives.

Fans of the broader Push Gaming catalog may also want to try the Razor Shark slot at BetFury — a high-volatility underwater adventure from the same provider with its own distinctive feature stack.

Symbol Guide and Paytable Hierarchy

Blaze of Ra uses a two-tier symbol set: high-pays drawn from Egyptian mythology and low-pays represented by artefact icons. Here is how the paytable breaks down:

• Ra (Wild): Top-paying symbol; five-of-a-kind awards 50x the bet; also nudges and substitutes
• Anubis: Second premium symbol; 1x bet for four matches
• Bastet (cat goddess): Pays 1.5x for three-of-a-kind
• Low-pay symbols (Ankh, Flail, Cane, Eye of Horus, Lotus): Range from 0.25x to 0.75x per winning combination

The setting transitions from a sandstorm and pyramid backdrop during the base game to a stellar sky beside a colossal sphinx when free spins activate — a visual shift that marks the change in reel mechanics.

Key Stats Worth Knowing

Why Blaze of Ra Still Holds Up

Released in 2018, Blaze of Ra represents Push Gaming at an earlier creative stage, but the nudging wild system remains genuinely engaging even by modern standards. The guaranteed multi-spin wild presence in the base game prevents the experience from feeling purely scatter-dependent. Egyptian slot fans who have cycled through the usual book-style formats will find Blaze of Ra's reel mechanics a refreshing structural departure.

For comparison, players who enjoy Egyptian mythology slots more broadly can also try the classic Book of Ra game at BetFury — a completely different mechanic approach from Novomatic that shows how differently the same theme can be interpreted.
