Le Pharaoh

Le Pharaoh Slot Review

If you're a seasoned player, you may remember the mischievous raccoon causing trouble on the streets of Paris in the popular slot Le Bandit, a huge hit for Hacksaw Gaming. This time, Smokey is trading his Parisian escapades for an Egyptian adventure, donning a pharaoh's hat and changing the slot's name to Le Pharaoh. With a fresh theme and some gameplay tweaks, we're here to find out if these changes are for the better or worse. 

Info

The game grid hasn't changed, sticking to the familiar 6 reels and 5 rows, but clusters are out, replaced by 19 paylines. The maximum RTP has taken a slight dip to 96.21%, while the volatility remains at a medium level. As usual, the betting range is standard from €0.1 to €100 per spin. However, if you want to increase your chances of hitting those coveted bonuses, you'll need to activate the Bonus Bet, which costs x3 your stake.

Bonus Feature

Let's start with the Sticky Re-Drops feature. Each winning combination triggers Sticky Re-Drops, where the winning symbols stick in place and create Golden Frames on their positions. If another win forms, it also locks into place within the Golden Frames, triggering another round of re-drops. During this feature, Scatters and Rainbow symbols can also appear and stick to the grid.

If a Rainbow symbol participates in the re-drops, at the end of the spin, when there are no more winning combinations, all symbols inside the Golden Frames turn either into coin symbols with values between x0.2 and x500 or a Clover with a Pot of Gold symbol. Coin values are collected and added to your total, while the Clover symbol can multiply those values by x2 to x20. The Pot of Gold symbol gathers all the values separately, boosting your total winnings.

Landing 3 Scatters triggers the Bonus Rounds, where you get to choose between two exciting modes: Luck of the Pharaoh or Lost Treasures. Let's break them down:

Luck of the Pharaoh - a classic free spins mode where all Golden Frames from re-drops remain highlighted throughout the feature. This increases the potential for the Rainbow symbol to create bigger and better combinations.

Lost Treasures - a unique bonus game where coin symbols stick to the grid upon landing, while special bonus symbols like the Clover and Pot of Gold add an extra layer of fun by multiplying or collecting the coin values for even greater rewards.

For quick access to all the bonus features, you can always use the Bonus Purchase option.

Verdict

It really wasn't practical to remove the cluster mechanic and keep the same wide playing grid, so Hacksaw Gaming have introduced Sticky Re-Drops which, when combined with Rainbow symbols guarantee you exciting winning potential. 

What's even more exciting is the maximum win of x15,000 your bet, which, unlike its predecessor, has been  significantly doubled. Together, these elements create a picture of an ideal release, cleverly complementing the slot's features and delivering a refreshed visual style that suits today's release so perfectly.
