Egyptian Pays plays out on a five-reel, three-row grid with 243 ways to win. Winning combinations form by landing matching symbols across adjacent reels from left to right. The base game features thematic symbols such as the Eye of Horus, Ankh, colourful scarab beetle, and a winged Egyptian priestess alongside Sphinx wilds.

The main feature is the Re-life spins bonus round, triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols. Players start with three lives and a multiplier based on the triggering scatters, where unsuccessful spins cost a life and winning spins advance the multiplier ladder.
