4 Pots of Egypt: Bonus Wheel goes back to the sandstone temple of the original 3 Oaks hit and parks a pastel prize wheel behind it. Three gold-filled pots in red, blue and green sit above the reels, with a fourth, white pot towering in the middle against the wheel. It arrived on 28 October 2026. My first screen at a 1.00 stake already showed a golden sun coin worth 3.00 sitting on reel three.
Theme and Gameplay
The art is warm and polished, all amber light and stone columns. Higher-paying symbols include a pharaoh’s mask, a jewelled winged ankh and the Eye of Horus in green and gold, while carved royals from J to A cover smaller wins. Golden sun discs show cash amounts, and versions with red, blue or green rims are the special symbols that feed the pots.
The jackpot column is unusually deep. At a 1.00 bet it lists Mini 5, Minor 10, Maxi 20, Major 50, Grand 1,000 and Royal 5,000, so the ladder climbs from 5x all the way to 5,000x.
Line wins are read from reel one rightwards, and only the best win per line counts. The wild lands on reels 2 to 5 and covers the standard symbols, but not the coins or any of the coloured specials.
Slot Features
Collecting coloured specials during regular play fills the matching pots, and they carry into the Bonus Game as active features. Coins hold their spots while three respins tick down, and any fresh arrival refills that counter. Red brings Boost, which adds random values to the coins on the board. Blue brings Collect, which gathers the values of all the coins into one symbol. Green brings Multi, which hands out random multipliers.
The white pot is the new Jackpot feature. When a white symbol lands, it takes a random jackpot value from Mini to Major and stamps it onto three random coins. Separate Mini to Grand symbols may also pop up mid-bonus, and a multiplier landing on a jackpot that already has one multiplies the two together.
The new twist is the Bonus Wheel. Before every Bonus Game begins, you get one spin, and its prize goes onto the reels for the round. It can add a jackpot, a random feature symbol, extra coin values, a collection or a batch of multipliers.
RTP and Win Potential
The ceiling is the 5,000x Royal for filling the board, and stakes run from 0.20 to 65 per spin. There’s no feature buy, so the only way into the bonus is to fill the pots naturally. With a jackpot-heavy prize structure, expect high volatility.
My Thoughts On This Slot
The wheel is a smart addition. In the original game a bonus with no pots full could be flat, but the guaranteed wheel prize means every round starts with something extra. The six-tier jackpot ladder also makes even mid-sized rounds exciting, since a single white symbol can drop three jackpot values at once.
Ordinary spins can feel quiet while you wait for the pots to fill. Fans of the first game should still find it a worthwhile upgrade.
