natural trigger · 69 in 10,000 spinsFive Phoenix Wilds burn the cover away over a chain of respins that banks EUR 18.00, and eight free spins on 7,776 ways take the total to EUR 28.40. Recorded in a separate browser session, outside the statistical samples.
Across the whole run the 69 natural bonuses split into 0 under 20x, 32 between 20x and 50x, 32 between 50x and 100x and 5 at 100x or more, and together they made up 40% of everything the game returned. The wait between two triggers ran from 3 to 824 spins. Payout figures here cover the whole bonus round in ordinary stakes, the trigger spin included: its scatter pays and line wins count towards the bonus.
Phoenix Sun free spins are never extended: Phoenix Wilds stay off the reels during the bonus, so each of the 69 natural bonuses ran exactly the eight spins it was awarded.

How it plays
13 rules screens from the gamePhoenix Sun opens with three rows on each of its five reels, 243 ways counted from the leftmost reel, and three more rows on every reel hidden under a golden cover. For five of a kind the pharaoh pays 4x the bet, the queen 3x, the two jackal masks and the scarab 2.4x each, and A, K, Q, J and 10 pay 0.8x; three of a kind returns between 0.4x and 1x.
A Phoenix Wild that takes part in a win sets off Phoenix Rising: it burns three random tiles off the cover and the reels respin on the larger layout, and the respins go on for as long as new Phoenix Wilds keep landing in wins. The Phoenix substitutes for every symbol, while the ordinary gold Wild covers every symbol apart from the Phoenix.
Collecting five Phoenix Wilds in one round clears the whole cover and awards 8 free spins on five reels of six rows, 7,776 ways. Phoenix Wilds do not appear in the free spins, and every one of the 69 bonuses in the test lasted exactly eight spins.
There is nothing to buy here, and the 2016 game sheet splits a 96.08% return into 36.86% from the base game, 33.46% from the respins and 25.76% from the free spins; the game itself reports 96.07% and a top win of 1,382.2x the bet. Quickspin rates the volatility 3.65 on its scale of 1 to 5, with bets from EUR 0.25 to EUR 100.

Verdict
Worth more with every PhoenixPhoenix Rising set off 629 respin chains in 10,000 spins, and each extra Phoenix raised what a chain was worth: 2.01x the bet on average after one burn (265 chains), 5.6x after two (146), 9.8x after three (103) and 16.98x after four (46). Only 69 chains reached the fifth Phoenix and the free spins, and those rounds averaged 56.53x with the respins that led to them included.
Those 629 rounds brought 73.1% of the series' payouts, while the 9,371 spins without a Phoenix Rising chain returned 25.94% of the stake between them, so most of the time the game ticked over on small wins and waited for a chain.
Inside the bonus, 228 of the 552 free spins paid nothing, and part of each bonus round's value arrived before the free spins began: the respins that collected the five Phoenixes paid EUR 1,444.80 of the EUR 3,900.60 the 69 bonus rounds returned. Round 6665 was the best at 183.8x, free spin 5 alone worth EUR 115.20.
- A chain that burned four Phoenixes without reaching free spins still averaged 16.98x
- Free spins arrived 69 times, once per 144.9 rounds
- All eight spins of every bonus ran on the full 7,776 ways
- Round 6665 paid 183.8x, EUR 115.20 of it on a single free spin
- 265 chains ended after one Phoenix, worth 2.01x on average
- Free spins paid nothing 228 times out of 552
- Rounds without a Phoenix Rising chain returned 25.94% of the stake
- A stretch of 823 rounds without a bonus followed round 3894
