Riches of the Pharaoh sets a five-reel, three-row game among Egyptian symbols and a Pharaoh figure. Its 25 fixed paylines give ordinary spins a familiar left-to-right rhythm, while scarabs can start Free Games and coin or fireball symbols can lead to a separate Lock-and-Respin feature.
Quick take: A scarab-led free-games round and a coin-filled respin feature give this Egyptian line slot two distinct prize chases.
Theme and Gameplay
Pharaohs, scarabs, cats, eyes, birds and ankhs supply the Egyptian setting. The 5×3 layout keeps the symbols easy to scan, and all 25 fixed lines are in play. Matching symbols must connect from the left across adjacent reels; the highest combination on each line pays, and line wins are added together. The Pharaoh acts as a Wild on reels two through five, but it does not replace the Coin, Fireball or Scarab symbols.
Slot Features
Three Scarabs on reels one, three and five start ten Free Games. Three Scarabs during the feature add ten more. Doors reveal symbols during Free Games, including Pharaohs and Coins, giving the bonus a different way to build combinations. Six Coin and Fireball symbols together trigger Lock-and-Respin, including during Free Games. Collected symbols stay locked while the empty positions respin independently. Each new symbol resets the three-respin counter; the feature ends when the counter reaches zero or 15 symbols have been collected. Coin values are paid after the feature, and collecting 15 symbols awards the Grand prize. Coins can show Mini, Minor or Major prizes, or a value from 0.5x to 20x the bet. Fireballs start at 0.5x to 10x and increase by 0.2x to 20x at the start of each later respin.
Feature focus: In Lock-and-Respin, a new Coin or Fireball does more than add a prize: it resets the three-respin counter, giving the empty positions another chance to fill.
RTP and Win Potential
Riches of the Pharaoh uses a 5×3 grid and 25 fixed paylines, with left-to-right line wins. Its volatility is listed as medium-high. The coin and fireball values provide a clear prize structure in the respin feature, but the overall value still depends on what lands and how many symbols are collected.
My Thoughts On This Slot
The two features give the game a useful change of pace. Free Games keep attention on the reels and Door reveals, while Lock-and-Respin turns the empty spaces into the main question. The counter reset makes every new symbol matter even when its displayed value is modest.
Final Take: A straightforward Egyptian line slot with a more engaging second act when the coins and fireballs start to lock.
