Offering amazing quality visuals, Legend of the Pharaohs is what you might call the ‘eye candy’ of slot games. It’s set in an Egyptian pyramid (obviously, you’ve read the title) but it has still managed to deliver a unique kind of gaming experience despite the popularity of this theme in online slot games. First off, we genuinely love the blue and gold contrast achieved with the help of the subdued backdrop, and another thing we thought was great was the depiction of the symbols on the reels. Among them are the typical Scarab beetle and the Ankh, as well as the All-Seeing Eye and a mask of Horus.
As for the layout in this title, you will see it features the common grid of 5 reels by 3 rows. You have a total of 20 active paylines to bet on but they are fixed, so you won’t have the ability to experiment with them. This is reflected in the stakes which are well within a reasonable range: the minimum wager is only 20p per spin and the maximum bet makes for a total of £500 per single spin.
Where to Play
Special Features
There are four different extra features that you can enjoy during the free spins round. One is the Wild Reels feature, during which a Wild will turn its whole reel into a Wild Reel for the duration of the bonus. Another will see a random symbol chosen to act as an extra Wild throughout the free spins. Then there’s also the Win Eliminator feature, which will eliminate lower value symbols from the reels. In fact, it can remove up to 5 low paying icons. Lastly there is the Colossal Symbols feature. For this one, one symbol will randomly be selected to become a giant 3×3 symbol.
Wild
The Wild symbol in this game isn’t particularly lucrative on its own, but it can replace any of the other symbols on the reels with the exception of the Red and Blue Pyramid symbols. Furthermore, it can’t just land in any old position anywhere on reels. You will only see it on reels 1, 2 and 3 during gameplay.
Pyramid Scatter
Watch out for the Pyramid Scatters in this offering, as these will be the key to triggering this game’s main attraction. It is really all about the Freespins feature in Legend of the Pharaohs, and that’s also because it comes with so many other juicy extras. To access the bonus round, though, you will first need to land at least 3 Scatters at the same time. Regardless of the exact number of Scatters, the amount of free spins you receive will always be the same at 10. However, the number of Scatters will affect how many extras you get. Thus, 3 Scatters will give you 1 extra feature, whereas 4 will guarantee you 2 bonus extras, and finally, 5 Scatter symbols will give you 3 extras.
Big Bet Mode
There are four different Big Bets that you can take advantage of in Legend of the Pharaohs. The cheapest option will cost you £20 and will allow you to collect Pyramid symbols to trigger the free spins. You will have this same option also with the £30 bet, as well as the opportunity to trigger the Pharaoh’s Bonus Feature. As a result, you will get to spin a Wheel of Fortune with possible prizes including cash wins and special features.
Then the £40 Big Bet will give you all of the above, only there’s a Super Pharaoh’s feature offering even bigger prizes and entry to the free spins round. The most expensive option will set you back a total of £50 and comes with the Mega Pharaoh’s feature, which has larger prizes yet, and a bigger free spins section.
