Beat the Beast: Mighty Sphinx Slot Information

The setup of this game is the same as the previous underwater adventure game, Beat the Beast: Kraken's Lair. The five reels have now been placed over a sandy background with pyramids in the back. The sun is shining hard on this deserted landscape, and Egyptian music accompanies the game. To make a win, the player has to land three or more symbols of the same type on any of the nine pay lines going from left to right, starting on the first real to the left.

The Sphinx Emblem Symbol is a golden circle with a Sphinx in the middle.

Beat the Beast: Mighty Sphinx Slot Conclusion

Beat the Beast: Mighty Sphinx takes players from Kraken's ice-cold waters to an exhilarating journey into the heart of Egyptian mythology. Following its predecessor's footsteps, this game introduces players to the majestic Sphinx in one of the casino world's most common destinations, Ancient Egypt. A Sphinx is a mythical creature with a human head, lion body, and eagle wings. Although it looks terrifying, it somehow seems much nicer than the Kraken in the previous game.

A lot is similar in the games, but Thunderkick has done some twists and turns in this sequel. Both games have a very valuable symbol that works as both a scatter symbol and a wild symbol. Here, up to 3 symbols can turn up randomly on any spin. In the previous game, you're awarded 1 of those symbols at the start of every Free Spin, while you can score up to 3 in this game's Free Spins. Also, the Free Spins have been updated with another Wild Symbol that exchanges one of the medium-paying symbols as soon as you retrigger 5 Free Spins in the bonus game.

The symbol payouts are also the same in many cases, but the best-paying symbol awards double in the previous game. The max win of 7,777X the bet in Beat the Beast: Kraken's Lair has also been lowered to 4,444X the bet in this version. It is still a decent payout, but we can't help but think it's a big difference for these highly volatile games that are otherwise so similar.

If Ancient Egypt is your thing, you will be happy to hear that there are tons of other games on the theme. One of our favorites is Tomb of Akhenaten, where you have 3,125 ways to win and a max win of 26,261X the bet.

Mighty Sphinx by Thunderkick successfully combines elements of familiarity and novelty, offering players a chance to face the Egyptian beast in a high-volatility slot adventure.
