Pharaoh's Treasure Deluxe Slot Review

How to play

This video slot game stays true to the original title with a few changes, particularly on the features and payouts. Pharaoh’s Treasure Deluxe slot uses the standard 3x5 playing grid and it’s set inside an old Egyptian temple. There’s a fixed 20 paylines to play and your bet per spin will range from €0.20 and moves up to €200. You will also find an Auto Play button that allows you to set a number of spins in advance. After setting your wager, just click the ‘Spin’ button that’s located on the bottom right portion of the screen.

Since this is the deluxe version, you can expect an improvement over the original. Here, you will find the Power Play button that allows you to enjoy the Power Play Mode. There are two options that come at a cost. In the first mode, the golden scarab can land on the third reel. This costs 10x your total bet. On the second mode, it can land on reels one, two, and three. And when this scarab makes an appearance, it can transform into a multiplier, a bonus scatter or can award you a cash prize. You will need to pay 20x your total bet to enjoy this feature.

Symbols and payouts

This slot game offers a familiar theme and a set of traditional symbols that are all related to Egyptology. Some of the symbols that you’ll encounter on the reels are Bastet (the cat god), the Sphinx, an Ankh, and Cleopatra. Of these symbols, Cleopatra can bring you the biggest payout of up to 500x your bet per line when landing five matching symbols. The Sphinx, an Ankh, and Bastet are the next important symbols and these offer a payout of 400x, 300x, and 200x your line bet when landing five matching symbols respectively. There’s also a wild symbol that’s represented by the game’s logo. It can replace other symbols on the reels and when you land five matching symbols, you also enjoy 500x your stake per line.

You can also pick up additional wins from Egyptian-inspired As, Ks, Qs, Js, and 10 playing cards. The Aces and Kings are the most important as these can reward you with up to 150x your line bet when you land five matching symbols.

Best Pharaoh’s Treasure Deluxe bonus feature

Your exploration of the tomb becomes more exciting when you land at least three bonus symbols on the first, third, and fifth reels. When it happens, you can pick one from two bonus features: the Tomb of the Tutankhamun or the Curse of the Ancients Free Games. The first Pharaoh’s Treasure Deluxe bonus, the Tomb of Tutankhamun, is designed as a picking game. Here, each pick awards a cash prize and each pick may contain a key to the tomb for more prizes or the sarcophagus. The Curse of the Ancients is the game’s version of the free spins round. If you choose this, you will collect 15 Pharaoh’s Treasure Deluxe free spins with vanishing symbols. These symbols can disappear from the reels which give you more chances of winning. 

Watch out for the Jackpot Key scatter as this serves as your guide to access the sarcophagus chamber. You need to land these symbols on the third, fourth, and fifth reels at the end of the free spins round to make a play for the progressive jackpot.

RTP & Volatility

Pharaoh’s Treasure Deluxe slot is indeed a premium entry from its visuals to features that allow you to win a progressive jackpot. But play this game with caution since it’s designed as a high-volatility slot. Also, the Pharaoh’s Treasure Deluxe RTP is set at 94.65%, certainly not the best game to play in terms of overall returns. Still, this is a pretty good RTP considering this is a progressive jackpot game.
