Day and Night Slot

The idea behind the slot machine is an eternal fight between light and darkness, or Day and Night represented by respective deities, bird-headed Ra with flaming wings and feline Bastet, a gorgeous identity in all terms. The online casino game starts in an even situation, with 3 reels on the left belonging to Day and 3 reels on the right controlled by Night. Each deity has its own Wild symbols (so there are 2 Wilds in the game, Ra’s head and Bastet’s head). The developer tried its best to make the slot machine unusual in all respects so these Wild symbols do not come on the reels like non-feature symbols attached to the reels. Instead, Deities throw these symbols making a spectacular 3D show each time it happens. When a Day Wild or Night Wild drops on a reel, a respective deity occupies an extra reel (it turns dark or light respectively). When all 6 reels become occupied by Day or Night, a respective deity grants 10 free spins to play. Still, it is an eternal battle, no party is willing to surrender so the other deity may fight back with its own Wilds and re-capture a reel or two; thus the bonus feature may be postponed until it is all settled and one deity wins 6 reels. Nevertheless, the battle is made so fantastically captivating that this little delay does not upset too much. Moreover, the longer the fight goes the more chances to score, as this awesome game with 20 fixed lines pays both ways. The gameplay and the battle of Gods unfold with great background music although screams of deities may sound a bit unnerving.

There are eight non-feature symbols including 4 playing cards from J to A (award up to x240 a line bet) and 4 Egyptian artifacts (award up to x720 a line bet). Both Wilds also pay, up to x1,200 a line bet in a base game. The earning capacity of this online casino game is further reinforced by a Revenge bonus feature: when Ra takes the last Night reel and no Bastet’s Wild fights back, Ra Wilds take 2 entire reels and this trick creates far more winning combinations. This arrangement makes the slot pay up to x12,500 a line bet according to the assurances of the developer. The bet is always 20 coins per spin so players may adjust only the coin value which may be denominated in C$ in online casinos accepting fiat money or in bitcoin if the game is played in a bitcoin casino. In any currency, the video slot with such generous paytable is certainly worth playing for real money by casino visitors from Canada.

When Ra takes all 6 reels he celebrates the victory by awarding 10 Day Free Spins running under Ra rules. This means that Ra throws Day Wilds on the reels every spin, and there can be as many as 24 Day Wilds in a single spin. As there are 20 lines which pay both ways these Wilds can do a lot of good to a lucky player. Day Wilds have some weaker sides. Firstly, they are not sticky so they disappear after every spin to open space for new icons. Secondly, Ra is not much of a sharp shooter and may throw Wilds in one and the same position, one by one. In such a case Day Wilds overlap and count as one Wild thus reducing possible win. Unfortunately, a Day Free Spin bonus cannot retrigger – every time the feature activates, there are only 10 FS provided to play.

Bastet has its prime time as well. When the deity captures all the six reels, she awards 10 Night Free Spins. The difference between Day and Night free spins is that Night Wilds are sticky and remain on the reels when Bastet throws them from her domain on the right side of reels. This means that Night Wilds grow in numbers in the course of the feature and each new free spins run with more Night Wilds on the reels. This feature, though, cannot retrigger just like Day Free Spins.

Day and Night is a 6-reel 20-line slot which certainly deserves extra credit for TrueLab managed to produce a slot machine following a beaten path of Ancient Egypt but made it fairly grasping in terms of the plot and amazing in terms of design. The video slot pays both ways thus making the payouts jump up x12,500 a line bet, so it is a true jewel in the developer’s crown and a nice amusement for video slot connoisseurs.
