Cairo Link and Win Review

Cleopatra must have been one heck of a woman to achieve this level of fame even thousands of years after her death. Granted, she did date both Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, and apparently she was somewhat of a femme fatale in an era where that sort of thing wasn’t common. She’s depicted in at least 195 slots by now (by our counting), and Gold Coin Studios’ Cairo Link and Win is one of them.

The somewhat dark visual presentation sticks out in a certain way, and although similar things have surely been seen many times before. The reel expanding feature is somewhat unique though, and it’s basically a way to collect Link&Win cash prizes in the base game. In addition, you get a bonus round and, of course, the Link and Win feature, and the max win is 10,000x your stake.

Cairo Link and Win Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 2.5 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the scarab Wild symbols appear on reels 2 to 5 only. The Wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins, and it holds no value of its own in this game. Both pay symbols and wilds can land stacked at random times.

Whenever you land the Eye of Ra symbol on reels 1 and 2, you will see reels 3, 4 and 5 expand with 2 extra positions per reel.

If you land 1 to 5 Link&Win symbols on the expanded part of the grid, you instantly win the total value from them via the Express Collect feature. You can also trigger both the bonus round and the Link & Win feature from the expanded part of the grid.

You need 3 pyramid scatters anywhere in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and this awards 10 free spins. Only premium symbols will land during the feature, and the middle reel comes with wilds and/or Link&Win symbols only. If you land 3 Link & Win symbols on the middle reel, they are cloned to reels 2 and 4. This triggers the Link & Win feature.

You need 6+ Link&Win symbols in view to trigger the Link & Win feature from the base game, and it plays out on a 5x3 grid or 3x5 grid (depending on how you triggered it).

Either way you get 3 spins for starters, and only blanks and Link&Win cash symbols will land. Each Link&Win symbol resets the spin tally to 3 again, and they come with prizes between 1x and 9x your stake.

In addition, you can land 3 higher value jackpot symbols during the feature, and the Mini, Minor and Major symbols award 10x, 50x or 1,000x your stake, respectively. You can land multiple jackpot symbols per feature, and your total winnings is summed up when you either run out of spins or fill the grid completely. The latter lands you the 10,000x Mega Jackpot, which is also the game’s win cap.

You get to see the Eye of Ra expanded grid feature at the very start of the 6:24-minute highlights video, and then we trigger the bonus round around 1:16 into the video. Around the 2-minute mark we land 3 Link&Win symbols on the middle reel during the bonus round, which gave us the Link and Win feature. Check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We see a lot of similar releases every month, but Cairo Link and Win still managed to stick out in a positive way. The Egypt theme, which we also see all the time, is well-made, and it comes with a pleasant soundtrack to boot. The expanded Link of Ra feature breaks up the base game on a regular basis, allowing you to cash in a smaller prize, or trigger 1 of the 2 bonus features.

The middle reel in the bonus round comes in handy many times, but a single spin can still land you nothing more than 200x your stake.

However, getting several Link & Win triggers per bonus round is far from unheard of, and that’s where larger payouts are most likely to occur. The 10,000x potential is most likely cracked via the Mega jackpot though, and it seems hard to achieve otherwise.

Pros

• Expanded Reels Link&Win collect feature
• Reel 3 lands wilds and Link&Win in FS
• Link&Win w/ jackpots and fill-the-grid prize
• Win up to 10,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of customizable RTP ranges
