Wrath of Ra (Hacksaw Gaming) RTP review: 96.26% (configurable)
Hacksaw already had an Egyptian heavyweight in Hand of Anubis, so Wrath of Ra had to justify a second trip up the Nile — and it does so by swapping the underworld's cluster-orb chaos for something more architectural: expanding wild reels. On this 2025 release's 5x4 grid, Wrath Scatters blow up into full wild reels carrying multipliers that sources cite reaching 300x, and the bonus system stacks in tiers — Fear and Flame free spins with wild multipliers to 100x, then the deeper Wrath and Ruin and Ares Ascends modes layering lives and reel multipliers toward a 15,000x cap. Where Anubis is granular and twitchy, Ra is structural: fewer, bigger levers.

Tiers of the sun god
The mode ladder is the draw. Entry free spins already combine expanding wilds with meaningful multipliers; the upper tiers add persistence — reel multipliers that hold, extra lives that keep a feature breathing past its natural end. That "lives" framing gives the top modes a survival-game tension unusual for the studio, and it is where the realistic path to four- and five-figure multiples runs. Volatility lands around 4/5, medium-high: rowdier than the "Le" family, tamer than the true 5/5 monsters, roughly the register of Wanted Dead or a Wild without that game's cult following.
An honest asterisk on the RTP
We list 96.26% as the default because that is the figure aggregated coverage supports — but unlike most entries on this site, the full ladder of reduced operator builds has not been confirmed from a primary source at the time of writing. Hacksaw's standard practice is to offer lower versions, so assume they exist. Practically, the asterisk changes nothing about your routine: the in-game paytable states the deployed percentage, and that on-screen number outranks anything we or anyone else publishes. Read it, then decide. The feature buy exists for non-GB players; UK casinos omit it as regulation requires.
Ra or Anubis?
Pick by texture. Anubis pays out through positional luck — orbs surviving cascade chains — and runs full 5/5 heat with a 10,000x cap. Ra trades a thousand small decisions for a few big reveals: a wild reel either erupts across your payline or it doesn't, and its 15,000x roof is taller. Players who find cascade math opaque tend to prefer this game's legibility; players who find expanding-reel games streaky prefer the orbs. Running returns are close enough (96.26% versus 96.24% defaults) that theme mechanics, not math, should cast the deciding vote.
Verdict: the stately second pyramid
Skip if: unverified lower builds make you nervous and your operator won't show a clear paytable figure
Wrath of Ra is confident, legible, and tuned a notch friendlier than its underworld sibling, with a stronger ceiling as compensation for a marginally higher edge. The 3.5 carries a small documentation discount — until the complete build ladder surfaces from a primary source, we treat the headline as provisional and so should you. On-screen paytable first; sun god second.
