Le Pharaoh by Hacksaw Gaming invites you on a journey back to ancient Egypt, where pharaohs ruled with an iron fist, pyramids touched the sky, and treasure was buried beneath endless sands... or in this case, neatly arranged across a slot machine. Get ready to unearth some serious riches in this medium volatility slot that offers a tantalizing max win of 15,000x your stake – enough gold to rival King Tut himself! But don't worry, you won’t need a camel or a team of archaeologists to find the jackpot here. Just spin the reels, let the sacred symbols align, and hope the gods of luck favor you more than they did those guys who opened the wrong tomb. With Le Pharaoh, the only curse you'll face is deciding how to spend all that virtual treasure!
Theme and Graphics
The visuals in Le Pharaoh are rich and vibrant, immersing players in the mystical world of ancient Egypt. The reels are set against a backdrop of majestic pyramids and golden sands, while the symbols, from scarabs to ankhs, are beautifully designed to evoke the allure of this ancient civilization.
Symbols
In Le Pharaoh, the low-paying symbols are the classic 10 to A cards, adorned with a touch of Egyptian dust. The premium symbols feature scarabs, ankhs, and the eye of Horus—each more rewarding than the last. The Wild symbol is represented by an ancient scroll, substituting for other symbols (except bonuses) to help complete winning combinations.
Base Game
In Le Pharaoh, winning combinations trigger a unique re-drop feature. Win lines pay left to right, and when a winning combo hits, the symbols stick in place, marking their positions with Golden Squares. This kicks off a re-drop, and any new symbols that extend or create winning combos also stick, earning you another re-drop. The cycle continues until no more winning combinations are formed.
Special Rainbow and Free Spin symbols can also stick during re-drops but don’t create Golden Squares. Once the re-drops end or the Golden Riches feature triggers, all sticky symbols and Golden Squares are cleared for the next spin.
Golden Riches Feature
When a Rainbow symbol appears on the grid at the end of the Sticky Re-drops, it activates the Golden Riches feature. All Golden Squares then reveal Bronze, Silver, or Gold Coins, or special symbols like Pot of Gold, Green Clover, or Golden Clover.
- Coins award cash prizes: Bronze (0.2x-4x), Silver (5x-20x), and Gold (25x-500x) your bet.
- Green Clover multiplies adjacent Coins or Pots of Gold by x2-x20.
- Golden Clover multiplies all Coins or Pots of Gold on the grid by x2-x20.
- Pot of Gold collects the values of all Coins and other Pots of Gold, activating in sequence.
If the grid fills with Coins, Pot of Gold, or Stone Tablets, the bonus ends. The total value is then multiplied by your bet to determine your final win. The grid resets for the next spin.
Bonus Features
In Le Pharaoh, you can trigger a bonus in two ways: landing 3, 4 or 5 Free Spin (FS) scatter symbols, or buying the bonus.
- 3 FS symbols let you choose between two bonus games: LUCK OF THE PHARAOH or LOST TREASURES.
- 4 FS symbols unlock a choice between SUPER LUCK OF THE PHARAOH or SUPER LOST TREASURES, offering even greater rewards.
- 5 FS symbols unlock RAINBOW OVER THE PYRAMIDS
LUCK OF THE PHARAOH
When you choose LUCK OF THE PHARAOH, you’re awarded 10 free spins. This bonus keeps the Sticky Re-drops and Golden Riches mechanics from the base game, but with a twist: Golden Squares stay highlighted until the feature ends, even after being activated by a Rainbow symbol. You can earn extra free spins by landing additional FS symbols:
- 2 FS symbols award +2 free spins
- 3 FS symbols award +4 free spins
Alternatively, you can buy this bonus for 100x your bet.
SUPER LUCK OF THE PHARAOH
Opting for SUPER LUCK OF THE PHARAOH gives you an enhanced version of the original, with 12 free spins and better chances of landing higher-value Coins and Pot of Gold symbols. Plus, every time the Golden Riches feature activates, a Clover symbol is guaranteed to appear, boosting your winnings. You can also earn extra free spins during the feature:
- 2 FS symbols award +2 free spins
- 3 FS symbols award +4 free spins
Alternatively, this bonus can be purchased for 250x your bet.
LOST TREASURES
Choosing LOST TREASURES grants you 3 refilling lives. Each spin uses 1 life, but whenever a non-dead symbol lands, your lives are reset to 3. If you go 3 spins without a refill, the bonus ends. The symbols in this bonus include Coins, Pot of Gold, Green and Golden Clovers, and two types of Stone Tablets. Dead symbols also appear, but they don’t pay or trigger any effects. Normal symbols do not appear.
- Coins and Pot of Gold symbols that land become sticky until collected or the feature ends.
- The Adding Stone Tablet adds a random value (1x–500x) to one Coin per spin.
- The Multiplying Stone Tablet applies a random multiplier (x2–x20) to one Coin per spin.
If the grid fills with Coins, Pot of Gold, or Stone Tablets, the bonus ends. The total value is then multiplied by your bet to determine your final win. You can also buy this feature for 100x your bet.
SUPER LOST TREASURES
Selecting SUPER LOST TREASURES awards you a variant of the LOST TREASURES bonus with enhanced features. You are guaranteed to land an Adding Stone Tablet symbol on the first spin, giving you a solid start! Plus, you’ll have improved chances of hitting higher-value Coins and Pot of Gold symbols throughout the bonus. You can also buy this feature for 250x your bet.
RAINBOW OVER THE PYRAMIDS
Additionally, if you land 5 Free Spin (FS) scatter symbols during the base game, you’ll trigger the RAINBOW OVER THE PYRAMIDS Epic Bonus, awarding 12 free spins! This bonus retains the Sticky Re-drops and Golden Riches mechanics from the base game. During this feature, all Golden Squares remain highlighted until the end, even after being activated by a Rainbow symbol. Plus, a Rainbow symbol is guaranteed to land on every spin, boosting your chances of big wins! As in the other bonuses, landing additional FS symbols will grant extra free spins:
- 2 FS symbols award +2 free spins
- 3 FS symbols award +4 free spins
