About this Slot
Shifting Sands by DiDi Gaming takes an Ancient Egypt theme across six reels and five rows, using cluster pays mechanics where five or more connected symbols form a win. The game has an RTP of 96.4%, high volatility, and a maximum win of 10,000x the stake.
Winning clusters require at least five symbols to connect. Wilds substitute for other symbols and can carry multipliers that reset with each spin during the base game and bonus rounds.
A scatter symbol appears on the reels. Three scatters trigger the bonus round, which awards 10 free spins; during these spins, wild multipliers remain in place and move across the reels rather than resetting. Four scatters trigger the super bonus, also awarding 10 free spins, where wild multipliers persist and shift between spins.
The Sand Spin feature runs for 25 consecutive spins with wilds injected into the game, though scatter symbols are blocked during this mode, preventing bonus triggers.
A random bonus can deliver one of three outcomes: a 40% chance of the standard bonus, a 40% chance of the super bonus, or a 20% chance of an epic bonus.
The Ante Bet option doubles the rate at which bonus features trigger during regular play.
