Slingshot Studios, an exclusive studio owned by Games Global, has globally released the second sequel of its award-winning Links of Ra series, titled Links of Ra II, where players have the opportunity to embark on an adventure in Ancient Egypt, and which includes the ULTRA Link&Win feature.
Action-packed visual:
This action-packed, Ancient Egypt-themed slot provides an accurate depiction of this land, with 3 exquisite pyramids standing proudly and a peaceful river flowing close by. Additionally, there is potential for relaxation, entertainment and plenty of rewards.
To make a winning combination, players must land at least 3 matching symbols on a payline, beginning from the reel located furthest to the left and advancing to the right. Furthermore, this 5×4 sequel which contains 3 additional rows locked at the beginning, offers 1,024 winning ways, has high volatility, a default RTP of 96.05% and a maximum win of 10,000x the bet.
In terms of features, there is the aforementioned ULTRA Link&Win feature, which is activated when players land at least 6 Coin Symbols. Upon activation, they are rewarded with 3 free respins.
Relatedly, players generate key Coins to unlock extra symbol rows, which automatically raises the chance of massive wins. During this feature, they can additionally win many boosters that cause doublers to double the worth of a maximum of 4 random cash rewards coins, which provides the possibility for significant earnings.
One of those boosters, the Extra Life Coin booster, offers players 1 additional spin after all spins are used up, which provides another opportunity to expand the feature. However, near misses that contain 4 to 5 Coins are attached to the Max Mode meter that involves 3 levels for players to pursue, in order to play the aforementioned feature.
Then, there is the Power Stacks feature, which is activated on each spin in the bonus round of Free Spins and in the base game. Throughout this one, each regular symbol, apart from Wilds and Scatters, can appear as Power Stacked on any reel throughout the base game. However, the situation for the bonus round is that only Coin and Wild symbols may land Power Stacked.
Four jackpots as icing on the cake:
After a plethora of features mentioned above, four jackpots are also available for grabs. However, in order to claim one of them, players must first collect the Jackpot Coins each time they appear on reel 5, in the pot located on top of the reels. This offers them the opportunity to activate the Jackpot Wheel and win one of the jackpots.
Expressing pride for this new slot sequel, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, Richard Vermaak, commented: “Following on from the success of the original Links of Ra™, which was crowned Game of the Year by iGB in 2023, Links of Ra II™ is our next generation ULTRA Link&Win™ game and the early performance metrics are looking fantastic! With multiple paths to win the static jackpots, a feature rich ULTRA Link&Win™ bonus and a persistent journey in base game that unlocks bonus modifiers with massive potential, it is a fantastic Egyptian adventure.”
In addition, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, Andy Booth, added: “Links of Ra II™ has combined cutting-edge mechanics with thrilling features and graphics to create an adventure unlike any other. We’ve seen platinum level player retention and spins per player statistics during the game’s exclusive early release period and we are excited to see more players enjoying Slingshot Studios’ latest innovative game during its global release.”
