Le Pharaoh Slot Free Play & Review

Le Pharaoh was released on September 26, 2024, by Hacksaw Gaming, a Swedish studio founded in 2018. Known first for scratchcards with $1 million prizes, Hacksaw quickly made waves with innovative slots like Stick’em, Chaos Crew, and Le Bandit. Today, they serve over 9 million players worldwide and are listed on NASDAQ.

In this sequel to Le Bandit, Smokey the raccoon trades city heists for the mysteries of ancient Egypt. He’s your mischievous guide through the Nile, pyramids, and temples, while the Pharaoh himself steps in as the Wild. Egyptian symbols like ankhs, scarabs, and the Eye of Horus decorate the reels.

The game runs on a 6-reel, 5-row layout with 19 fixed paylines. Wins form from left to right, and the setup creates consistent opportunities during the base game. 

Le Pharaoh features a 96.18% RTP and medium volatility with a 29.21% hit frequency. This means you’ll see wins fairly often, but if you want big wins, you’ll have to hold out for the bonus rounds where the sticky mechanics kick in.

You can spin from just 0.10 SC up to 100 SC per round. Since 1 SC is typically worth $1 in prizes.

Le Pharaoh brings the heat with a 15,000x max win, one of the strongest payouts for a medium-volatility slot. While there’s no progressive jackpot, the cap means one lucky spin could bring you a prize worth up to 150,000 SC ($150,000).

• Wild (Pharaoh): Acts as the game’s wild, substituting for all regular symbols to complete winning lines.
• Scatter (Pyramid): Land 3 to 4 anywhere to unlock your pick of the free spins bonus rounds.
• Rainbow Symbol: If this lands at the far right of the grid, it activates the Golden Riches feature.
• Clover Symbol: Found in Golden Riches, this multiplies coin values by up to 20x.

In Le Pharaoh, after every win, winning symbols stick, and the reels re-drop. New wins add more sticky positions and chain into bigger combos. The sticky symbols also create golden square positions on the grid.

If a rainbow symbol lands, golden squares reveal bronze, silver, or gold coins worth 0.2x to 500x. Green and yellow clovers may appear on the reels and multiply all coins by up to 20x. At the end of the feature, all coins are collected by the pots, and their values are combined for massive prizes! 

When you hit at least three scatter symbols, you get to choose between two bonus rounds: Luck of the Pharaoh or Lost Treasures.

Triggering this feature grants you 10 free spins. During the round, sticky re-drops remain active, meaning any winning symbols will lock in place while new ones drop down. The golden squares highlighted in the base game stay lit throughout the entire bonus, dramatically boosting your chances of chaining together coin reveals and multipliers.
