Curse of Ra slot sits at 96.0% RTP, which is above both Four Leaf Gaming’s internal average and the wider catalogue benchmark, and it carries a popularity percentile of 95.2 out of the full game set. If you are filtering Egyptian-themed titles by return-to-player, this one clears the bar. The gap in what we can tell you is volatility: Four Leaf Gaming has not published a rating, so you are planning a session without knowing whether wins land frequently in small chunks or rarely in large ones.
Who makes Curse of Ra
Four Leaf Gaming is the developer behind Curse of Ra, and the studio currently maintains eleven titles in the catalogue this site tracks. That is a modest output — small enough that each release carries meaningful weight in terms of the provider’s overall reputation, but large enough to show a pattern of consistent publishing rather than a single-shot experiment.
What you can judge from the numbers available is that the provider averages 95.48% RTP across those eleven games. Curse of Ra sits at 96.0%, making it one of the stronger performers in the portfolio. The studio does not appear to pad its best-known titles with inflated return figures at the expense of the rest — the spread across the eleven games seems tight, which suggests a house philosophy rather than a marketing manoeuvre.
Four Leaf Gaming operates in the mid-tier of the aggregator ecosystem. You will find these titles across a range of licensed casinos but not necessarily at every single site, and the company does not command the same instant brand recognition as the industry’s largest studios. That is not inherently a negative; smaller providers sometimes take more design risks, and a lean catalogue means each title gets more development attention per dollar spent.
The game carries an Egypt theme on a five-reel layout, which places it in a crowded subcategory. You will need to look beyond the visual wrapper to differentiate it from the hundreds of other ancient-Egypt slots currently live, and that differentiation is what the RTP and structural numbers should help you find.
Where Curse of Ra sits in the Four Leaf Gaming catalogue
Of the eleven titles Four Leaf Gaming has published, three stand out as reasonable comparisons for a player evaluating Curse of Ra. The 3 Bears runs at 96.11% RTP, a tenth of a point above Curse of Ra. Wild Buccaneers Triple Treasure pushes slightly further to 96.13%. Pickaxe Payday matches Curse of Ra exactly at 96.0%.
That spread of 0.13 percentage points between the highest and lowest of these four titles is narrow. In practical terms, choosing between them on RTP alone would mean gambling roughly one extra pound per thousand wagered — noticeable only over thousands of spins and irrelevant to a short session. You should treat these games as RTP-equivalent and differentiate on other factors: theme, mechanics, and whatever volatility data becomes available.
The provider’s overall average of 95.48% tells you that Curse of Ra is above the house line by 0.52 points. That places it in the upper portion of the Four Leaf Gaming catalogue rather than the median. For a small studio, consistently delivering titles above their own average is a signal worth noting.
RTP: 96.0% against a 95.48% house average
RTP is a long-run statistical average calculated across millions of simulated spins, not a promise about any individual session. A 96.0% RTP means that across a sufficiently large sample, the game is designed to return £96.00 for every £100 wagered in total. Your actual return over fifty or five hundred spins can vary wildly from that figure — higher or lower — because RTP does not describe short-term behaviour at all.
The 0.52-point gap above Four Leaf Gaming’s own average and the 0.29-point gap above the broader corpus average of 95.71% are both small but positive. Against a corpus average, those fractions translate to roughly £2.90 more per £1,000 wagered over a very long horizon. That is real money spread across a very long time, and it is not something you can feel during a single evening of play.
Compared to a game like Book of Dead at 94.25%, Curse of Ra theoretically returns 1.75 percentage points more. Over £10,000 in total bets, that is £175 of difference in expected loss — again, only visible across enormous sample sizes. The practical takeaway is that 96.0% places Curse of Ra in the competitive band for modern online slots, where 94% is the rough floor and 96% is the common target.
Volatility and who it suits
Four Leaf Gaming has not published a volatility rating for Curse of Ra. This is a meaningful omission because volatility determines the shape of your session experience far more than RTP does at the numbers involved here.
Without a volatility label, you cannot predict whether the game will deliver frequent small wins that stretch your bankroll across hundreds of spins, or rare large payouts that leave long dry spells in between. The same 96.0% RTP can be achieved through a low-volatility structure paying out 30% hit frequency with small amounts, or a high-volatility structure paying out 5% hit frequency with large amounts. The maths converges over millions of spins; the lived experience diverges immediately.
If you play at lower stakes and need longer sessions for entertainment, the absence of a volatility rating is a genuine risk — you might hit a high-variance structure and lose your budget before any meaningful win arrives. If you are comfortable with rapid bankroll swings, the gap matters less because you are already accepting that outcome.
The free demo mode described below is the most reliable way to sample the volatility yourself before committing real money. Watch how frequently the reels produce any return above your stake over two hundred or three hundred spins, and note the size of the gaps between payouts. That observation will tell you more about this specific game’s risk profile than any label the provider might have published.
Playing Curse of Ra for free
Curse of Ra free demo is available on this site, so you can play without registering or downloading. The demo uses virtual credits and carries no financial risk. Use it to observe payout frequency, study the paytable, and form your own read on volatility before you wager anything real.
Keep in mind that demo play does not predict real-money results. The random number generator that drives outcomes treats a demo spin and a real spin identically, but your perception of the session will differ because the emotional weight of losses is absent. A demo run that produces fifteen dry spins feels like a curiosity; the same run during a real session feels like a problem.
Crazy Mummy also matches this RTP and shares the Egypt theme, so if you want to compare the feel of two numerically similar games side by side in demo mode, that pairing gives you a clean test of which volatility profile suits you better.
When you do move to real money, set a loss limit before you open the game and treat any session as paid entertainment at a price you have already decided is acceptable. Play only if you are 18 or over. The maths guarantees the house wins over an infinite horizon; your only control is how much you spend before you walk away.
Similar picks
The Egypt theme is the single largest thematic category in the tracked corpus, with 908 games sharing that label. Curse of Ra sits within that crowd, and you have strong alternatives at different price points in terms of return.
Book of the Sun returns 96.23%, the highest figure among the three Egyptian comparisons listed here. If RTP is your primary filter and you want every fraction you can get from an Egypt-themed title, Book of the Sun edges Curse of Ra by 0.23 points.
Crazy Mummy matches Curse of Ra exactly at 96.0% and occupies the same thematic space. When RTP and theme are identical, the differentiation comes down to mechanics, visual design and volatility — none of which this FACTS set provides for either title. Play both in demo and compare feel.
Book of Dead is one of the most recognisable Egyptian slots ever published, but its 94.25% RTP places it 1.75 points below Curse of Ra. That is the largest gap in this comparison set, and over a long session it accumulates. The brand familiarity of Book of Dead can mask a meaningfully weaker return, so if you have been playing it out of habit, the numbers here give you a reason to look elsewhere.
Verdict
Curse of Ra offers a solid 96.0% RTP that clears both its provider’s average and the broader corpus benchmark. The Five Leaf Gaming catalogue is small enough that the studio’s numbers feel deliberate rather than scattered. The game’s popularity percentile of 95.2 confirms that it draws real attention, and its rank of 959 out of thousands of tracked titles is strong.

The honest weakness is the absence of published volatility data. Without that number, you cannot match this game to your risk tolerance before playing, and that is a significant blind spot for anyone choosing between titles on structural grounds rather than theme alone. Until Four Leaf Gaming publishes a variance rating, the demo mode is your only reliable substitute for reading the game’s behaviour.
If you want a no-download, no-risk way to test whether Curse of Ra’s payout rhythm suits your bankroll, the free demo answers that question better than any article can.
