Sphinx Wild (IGT) – Review & Demo Play

Play Sphinx Wild for Free

You can play Sphinx Wild for free via a demo to explore the game's mechanics and features without spending real money. The demo mirrors the full experience, yet you cannot win money from it. I use it to test the expanding WILDs and the free spins flow, plus to gauge how the 40 paylines behave with different stake sizes. Once you feel ready, switch to real-money play and stick with limits that match your bankroll.

Reels, Paylines & Slot Theme in Sphinx Wild

Sphinx Wild is an IGT video slot with 5 reels across 4 rows and 40 paylines. Paylines are fixed, but the coin value and total bet can be adjusted, giving stakes from $0.40 to $400 per spin. Spins pay left to right and you need matching symbols across adjacent reels starting from the first. Autoplay is available for longer sessions. There is no progressive jackpot here, which keeps the focus on expanding WILDS, scatters, multipliers and solid base-game hits.

Ancient Egypt and pyramids shape the theme, and the presentation lands well. I like the clean reels, bright icon art, and a soundtrack that sits in the background without getting in the way. The style supports the features, especially when the WILD stretches across the grid. It feels straightforward rather than flashy, which suits a slot that leans on expanding WILDs and a choice-driven free spins round for its highlights.

Sphinx Wild Slot RTP, Symbols & Payouts

Sphinx Wild slot RTP is 96.18%, sitting in the upper mid-range for video slots. Over long play, that rate reflects expected returns, though sessions can swing. Bets range from $0.40 to $400, and the max win peaks at 1,000x your stake per spin. Five WILD sphinxes deliver that top payout. I tend to size stakes to keep at least a couple of hundred spins in the tank, as the free spins feature and expanding WILDS can cluster wins.

The sphinx of the pharaoh doubles as the highest paying symbol and the WILD. It substitutes for everything except the scatter, which is shown as red pyramids. The WILD can expand up, down, left, or right whenever that expansion would help create a win, and it does so automatically. This mechanic lifts hit rates during base play and can connect multiple lines at once. On the right spin it sets up the board before the reels settle.

Beyond the WILD, Anubis and Horus sit next on the pay ladder, followed by the Eye of Ra and a Sapphire Ring, then Ankh and a Blue Circlet as lower-tier picture symbols. There are 12 symbols in total across the set, with picture icons outpacing the royals. Line wins pay left to right only, and three of a kind is the starting point for most symbols. Five-of-a-kind on premiums can tidy up a base-game spin nicely.

All Bonus Features in Sphinx Wild – Expanding WILDs, Free Spins, 5x Multipliers

Expanding WILDs are the headline feature in Sphinx Wild. When a WILD lands, it checks whether stretching up, down, left, or right would create a new win, and if it would, it expands automatically in that direction. I've seen it bridge gaps for two or more lines at once, which is where much of the game's momentum comes from. The base game can string wins together when the grid cooperates with those expansions.

The scatter symbol activates the free spins. Land scatters on three or more reels anywhere and you choose a mix of free spins and multipliers, for example, 60 spins at 1x or fewer spins with stronger multipliers such as 15 at 5x. I favour the mid-range picks like 15 at 3x or 20 at 2x when four scatters arrive, as they balance time on the feature with punchy hits.

The Author's Opinion on Sphinx Wild

I wasn't sure I'd take to Sphinx Wild at first, as the Egypt theme can feel overdone, but the design actually works really well here. The expanding WILDS do the heavy lifting, and the free spins come with a neat choice between volume and multiplier power. With 40 paylines, a 96.18% RTP and a 1,000x top, it plays straight and rewards patience. I'm happy to recommend it for sessions where you want simple rules and steady features.
