The very first spin of my Rise of the Sun God session ran six winning rounds and paid 230.40, and the free spins came twice in the next 99. The second round, on spin 86, finished with a last free spin worth 507.60 at the x15 end of the ladder. At 12.00 a spin the 100 spins returned 1,851.00 and the demo closed 651.00 ahead.

A temple of 46,656 ways
Six reels hold six rows each, but many symbols are tiles two to four cells tall that count once, so the counter above the reels moves between 64 and 46,656 ways. Wins pay from the left, winners burst and new symbols fall in. The wild is Apollo, found only on reels two to five; the scatter is a golden sun mask.
| Symbol | 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 per way |
|---|---|
| White horse | 30 / 40 / 60 / 150 |
| Golden chariot | 20 / 25 / 50 / 80 |
| Shield and arrow | 10 / 25 / 40 / 60 |
| Lyre | 8 / 15 / 20 / 30 |
| Amphora, laurel wreath | 6 / 10 / 12 / 15 |
| A, K | 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 |
| Q, J, 10 | 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 |
The base bet is 20, so on my 12.00 stake a point was worth 0.60. Six white horses on one way pay 90.00.
Two helpers and a ladder
Three mechanics shape the base game, and the ladder matters most:
- Cascade ladder. Round one of a spin is paid flat, round two doubled, and the multiplier keeps stepping up to x5, where it stays.
- Wilds-on-the-Way. On reels two to five some tall tiles arrive in a silver frame; one that wins comes back with a gold frame, and a gold tile that wins becomes a wild.
- Wilds Blessing. Now and then a spin opens with three silver-framed tiles already turned into wilds.

| Other 31 wins | 369.00 |
| Returned / final balance | 1,851.00 / 100,651.00 |
Most of the other wins were small: nineteen of them paid less than one stake. The game runs on its long cascades: of the 26 spins that stopped after one winning round, only eight returned the bet.

Spin 1: six rounds
The session started with the best base spin I recorded. It opened with 10.80, and its second round brought 36.00 at double value. In the third, three Apollo wilds stood on reels two to four and a set of lyres, laurels and cards was worth 46.80 before the x3.
Tripled, it paid 140.40. Three smaller rounds at x4 and x5 added 43.20, and the spin closed as a Mega Win of 230.40, 19.2 stakes.
Spin 31 came close with eight winning rounds and 208.20.
Free spins: the ladder tripled
Four sun masks give 12 free spins, and every extra mask adds two. In the round the ladder becomes x3, x6, x9, x12 and x15, and it starts again from x3 on each free spin. On spin 86 the fourth mask landed during a cascade that had already paid 58.80.
The game then showed the new ladder before the first free spin.
Six of the twelve free spins paid something. The fifth reached x9 and paid 201.60, and the last one ran six rounds: 14.40 at x3, 3.60 at x6, then a round of horses and lyres worth 30.00 at x9.
That round paid 270.00, and three more at x12 and x15 added 219.60. The last free spin alone came to 507.60, and the round to 817.20.
With the base cascade, spin 86 paid 876.00, 73 stakes. The first round of free spins, on spin 58, had been quieter: the trigger spin paid nothing, and twelve free spins brought 167.40, most of it from two spins worth 86.40 and 50.40.
