Theme, Gameplay & Payouts
Sphinx Treasure is a video slot from Avatar UX with 6 reels and 3 rows that can increase to 6. With the grid at its maximum size, there are 46,656 ways to win. You can wager from the Min.bet of 0.1 to the Max.bet of 300. The game’s default RTP is 96.02%, but there are also versions of 94.00% and 90.56%. With a hit rate of 30.29%, you score a win on almost every third spin, and the max win is capped at 10,000x the bet.
The game takes us inside an ancient Egyptian building, probably a pyramid. The light-colored reels in the middle of the screen have a bronze frame, and above them is a counter telling the player how many ways to win there are. To the left sits a statue of a sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. To the right of the reels is the game’s logo on top of a burning fire. To make a win, you need to land 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting on the first reel to the left. You can access Sphinx Treasure on mobile phones, notepads, and desktops.
The lower-paying symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, and they pay between 1x and 1.2x your bet for six in a row wins. The higher-paying symbols are Egyptian god figures with heads of cats, crocodiles, falcons, goats, yellow birds, and dogs. They will give you between 1.6x and 2x for a 6-of-a-kind win. There’s no Wild Symbol, so expanding the grid and using the features is key.
Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot Sphinx Treasure?

What features are available in the slot Sphinx Treasure?
The features are Cascading Wins, Reward Boosters, Sphinx Feature, Bonus Game, and Feature Buy (Xpress).
Cascading Wins
Whenever you score a win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones fall in from above. If you’re able to form a new winning combination when the grid is refilled, those winning symbols are also removed. A cascade continues until you can’t make any more wins.
Reward Boosters
You begin with a 6x3 grid in the base game, and there are two blocked rows beneath the active ones. Every winning cascade unlocks a blocked cell, moving from left to right and top to bottom. As you clear more cells, the grid can grow to 6x5. In the Bonus Round, the whole 6th row opens right away, giving you a 6x6 grid.
Sphinx Feature
The Sphinx Feature can activate randomly on any base game spin, collecting between 1 and 12 blocked cells, unlocking some of them right away. In the Bonus Game, it can collect 2 to 18 cells and unlock 1 to 5 of them. All collected multipliers and unlocked cells stay active in the Bonus Rounds, and the 6th row unlocks automatically, giving you a larger grid with better potential.
Bonus Game
Landing 3 or more Bonus Symbols triggers the Bonus Game. You start with 6, 9, 12, or 15 spins, depending if the feature is activated with 3, 4, 5, or 6 Bonus Symbols. Unlocked blocks stay unlocked for the entire feature, and the increasing multiplier stays through the entire bonus session.
Feature Buy (Xpress)
If you don’t want to wait, you can pay to enter the Bonus mode directly. The basic option gives you 6 Free Spins for 75x the bet. You can also pay 200x for 9-12 spins or 500x the bet for 15 spins.
Final Thoughts on Sphinx Treasure
If you like slot machines that build excitement as you play, Sphinx Treasure is a game that can grab your attention quickly. Cracking open cells one by one is surprisingly satisfying, almost like peeling layers off a golden onion. The high volatility means there will be times when you don’t win much, but when things go your way, the wins can literally grow at a cascading speed.
The game sticks to the classic Egyptian slot theme, but Avatar UX adds enough personality to at least make it stick out a bit. The Sphinx Feature happens often enough to keep things interesting, and the lasting multipliers in the bonus round bring the most excitement. And if you happen to be one of those impatient players who likes to take big risks, you can throw yourself straight into the Free Spins using the Feature Buy option.
If you want more Egyptian action, you should be aware that there are tons of games focusing on the theme, but not all of them are great. A couple that stand out are Red Tiger Gaming’s Egypt Clusterbuster or Gaming Corps’ Egypt Bonus Pot.
Sphinx Treasure from Avatar UX is yet another grid-expanding game, but with different mechanics than many other titles from the developer.
