Cypher Of Ra Guide: Rules, Frames, Locked Wilds, Cascade Multiplier and Bonus Spins

Cypher Of Ra slot by Fantasma Games

By the CasinoDemo editorial team · Updated 2026-11-09 · How we review

Cypher Of Ra is a Fantasma Games slot set in an Egyptian temple, with 10,000 ways to win on a 4-5-5-5-5-4 grid. Everything revolves around cascades: each winning cascade pushes a multiplier up by 1, and silver and gold Frames can turn symbols into Locked Wilds along the way.

We played the free demo, read every rules page, and bought Bonus Spins once at a €1 bet. Below are the rules as the game states them, plus exactly what our single bought round paid.

How Cypher Of Ra works

The reels are laid out 4-5-5-5-5-4, which the rules say gives 10,000 ways to win. Matching symbols on 3 or more consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost reel, form a win. Several matching symbols on the same reel increase the number of ways, only the highest-paying combination for each symbol is paid, and all wins are added together.

Wins cascade. Winning symbols disappear and new ones fall into place, and each consecutive winning cascade raises the Cascade Multiplier by +1. That multiplier is then applied to the current win. In the base game it sits in the arch above the reels and starts at x1.

The paytable at a €1 bet: the top symbol, the red and gold falcon god, pays €0.80 for 3, €1.60 for 4, €2.40 for 5 and €3.60 for 6. The purple cat pays €0.60 to €2.40, the green and blue jackal symbols €0.40 to €1.60. K and Q pay €0.20 to €0.80, and the ankh, 10 and 9 pay €0.10 to €0.40. Base hits are small, so the multiplier does most of the heavy lifting.

Wilds, Frames and Bonus symbols

The Wild substitutes for all regular symbols and has no value of its own. Most Wilds come from Frames, which can appear on the reels during a spin. A Silver Frame upgrades to a Gold Frame when its symbol is part of a winning combination. A Gold Frame turns into a Locked Wild when its symbol wins. Frames only last for the current spin or Bonus Spin, so the trick is chaining cascades through the same spot.

The Bonus symbol triggers the feature. Land 4 or more to start Bonus Spins, and each extra Bonus symbol adds +5 spins. Bonus symbols stay on the reels during cascades until the spin ends, so a cascade can add the fourth one. They do not pay ways wins.

Bonus Spins

Bonus Spins can start from the main game, from Scatter Boost or from the Feature Buy. 4 Bonus symbols give 10 spins, 5 give 15 and 6 give 20.

The big change is that the Cascade Multiplier carries over from one Bonus Spin to the next instead of resetting. Collected Multiplier symbols are also added permanently for the rest of the feature. Frames and Locked Wilds reset at the start of each new Bonus Spin. Bonus Spins cannot be retriggered, so what you get on the award screen is what you play.

Feature Buy: what we got for 50x

The buy menu has one option, Bonus Spins. The rules say it costs 50x the bet and triggers 10, 15 or 20 Bonus Spins at random. At a €1 bet the menu showed a total of €50. The Feature Buy RTP shown in the rules is 96.17%.

Our buy awarded 15 Bonus Spins. The first few spins paid small amounts while the meter crept up. By spin 12 of 15 the multiplier had reached x4, and a pair of Locked Wilds produced a €6.80 hit. A cascade chain on that same spin built into a Hidden Jewel win screen that counted up past €15.15 to €29.00. The round finished at €46.20, which is 46.2x the bet and a little under the €50 price. That is one round, not an average, and the next buy could land well above or below it.

Scatter Boost

Scatter Boost is the button on the left of the reels marked "6x chance to trigger bonus". The rules say it is an optional bet that costs 2x the bet and increases the chance of triggering Bonus Spins by 6x. Gameplay is otherwise the same as the main game, it can trigger Bonus Spins, and it is not available during Bonus Spins. Its RTP is listed as 96.18%. We kept it switched off for the paytable values in this guide.

RTP, max win and bet range

The rules list three RTP figures: 96.21% for the base game, 96.18% for Scatter Boost and 96.17% for the Feature Buy, each calculated from simulated rounds. The rules pages we read did not state a maximum win or volatility rating, so we will not guess one.

The demo bet selector ran from €0.10 to €800 per spin, with the demo starting at €1 and a €10,000 play balance. Your casino may offer a different range or RTP version.

Our verdict

Cypher Of Ra is a cascade game first. The Frames that turn into Locked Wilds give each spin a small puzzle, and the carried-over multiplier in Bonus Spins is where the real money sits, since base symbols pay modestly. The buy is fairly priced at 50x with a 96.17% RTP, though the lack of retriggers means a weak start rarely recovers. Our single buy returned €46.20 on €50, about break-even. Try it in the demo and watch how fast the multiplier climbs before spending real money.
