Play King Pharaoh for Free

Video slots are all about winning cash, but there are few which are quite as treasure-laden in appearance as King Pharaoh.

The rulers of Egypt were notorious for their wealth and enthusiasm for a hedonistic lifestyle and that is very evident in the design of this game.

From the moment it loads in your browser you’ll be captivated by the top to bottom riches on display, with the bright glare of gold shining out from your screen.

The background is an impressive room, with hieroglyphics covering every visible surface. But these are no rudimentary pictures scratched out in stone, instead you’ll be treated to skillfully carved images etched onto a pure gold surface.

The frame for the game board is full of bling too, with a gilded exterior. The reels themselves contrast beautifully in jet black but the symbols glitter with utter decadence. From Anubis to the scarab beetle, every symbol represents the culture of Egypt and shines with gold and precious jewels. Other symbols include the Eye of Ra, the Cross of Horus and a full pharaoh mummy’s head.

The music in the background remains you that being in the depth of the pharaohs' resting place is an intrepid adventure, with atmospheric melodies driving up the tension.

Now that you’ve set out on your expedition, make the pay table your first point of call as you’ll discover what it takes to win on this game.

To get a payout you’ll need to match up symbols along an active pay line. Some symbols will give you a win for matching just two while others need a match of three or more to give you a prize.

The letters representing playing cards tend to be the lower value symbols while those which are more specific to Egypt offer more. The Eye of Ra is the top win, paying out 5,000 for matching five.

The mummy’s golden head is the wild symbol and can stand in for others on the reels. Keep a look out for the animated sequence which is triggered for a wild win; the mummy will spring to life and hold up two electrified rods which crackle with power.

If the wild appears on reels 2 and 4, it expands and you’ll see the full mummy in all its glory. This can then substitute for any symbol across the whole reel and could deliver a very substantial win.

The scatter is the pyramid and is another way to ramp up your winnings without spending any more.

Once you’ve finished looking through the pay table, exit back out to the main screen and prepare to begin play.

But just before you do you’ll need to set up your betting so you only wager what you can afford.

King Pharaoh is played on 5 reels with a total of 20 pay lines available for play. These pay lines aren’t fixed so you can choose the number you want.

The coin value can be set between 0.01 and 2.00 with up to five coins which can be bet per line. This means the total minimum bet can be played as low as 0.01 or can be increased right up to 200.00 for those who prefer to play high.

Other than the wild and scatter symbols, there’s no real extras on this game. You won’t find a Gamble feature or any bonus games and there’s no progressive jackpot either.

You will find the Max Bet function which makes it easier to bet high as well as the useful Auto Play. This allows you to relax while the reels spin automatically, winning you prizes without you having to lift a finger.
