Power Strike Egyptian Riches Slot by Light & Wonder

The rule to get straight before anything else is the trade-off between the FREE SPINS award and the top two jackpots. Strike Orb scatters on reels 1 through 4 each show one of three things: a cash prize from 10x to 1,000x your bet, a chunk of 3 to 5 free spins, or one of the four jackpot tiers (MINI, MINOR, MAJOR, MEGA). The lock: if even one orb in a triggering round shows FREE SPINS, no other orb that round is allowed to show MAJOR or MEGA. So a screen full of orbs forces a choice on you before you even see the result. Either you take a fan of jackpot tiers and cash, or you take a longer free-spins run with the prize totals stretched out. The two paths don't share a board.

The trigger itself is the POWER STRIKE scatter on reel 5. With one or more Strike Orbs on the left four reels, every orb on screen pays at once: cash credits and any jackpot tier shown all award together. When free spins are part of the haul, the math reshapes. Every displayed value on the board gets consolidated onto a single locked reel 5, and that lumped total sits there visibly for the entire free-spins round. Reel 5 stops contributing to line wins. The four left reels do the actual work using a different, higher-paying free-spins paytable, where 5 of a kind on the top symbol pays 175x instead of the base game's 100x. Each scatter that lands during the round either adds 3 to 5 more spins or piles its displayed value onto that reel-5 total, up to five retrigger events.

The other door in opens when the POWER STRIKE scatter lands alone on reel 5 with no orbs on reels 1 through 4. That sends you to a Pick Feature: 3 baseline picks from 16 covered tiles, each one revealing a credit prize, free spins, or a jackpot tier, and "+1 PICK" tiles can stretch the round to as many as 7 picks total. The same mutex applies, free spins and Major/Mega never coexist in a single pick session, and any awarded free spins again funnel the cash totals into the locked reel 5. The MEGA/MAJOR/MINOR/MINI tiers are fixed prizes funded per denomination, not progressives. No buy bonus, no ante bet, no random shortcut.

Visually it leans hard on temple-arch staging. A tall sandstone frame sits behind the 5x4 grid with EGYPTIAN RICHES on a striped pediment between two golden snake heads, the four-tier jackpot meter glowing to one side under a silver-rim POWER STRIKE medallion. Symbols run through Anubis figures, turquoise canopic jars carrying the Eye of Horus, green ankhs and a gold scarab, with the winged Pharaoh as the top pay against a deep purple-blue hieroglyphic wall.
