Pharaoh’s Fortune is an old-school slot with 3 reels and a highly popular Egyptian theme that is reflected in every detail of the game, from golden symbols to a deep blue background featuring ancient Egyptian pictograms. Learning how to play the slot is simple as it has only one payline. In terms of design and layout, this is a typical Microgaming’s solution that should take the fancy of 3-reel slot fans who love games from that provider.

The gaming action takes place on one single screen, with the paytable located to the right of the three reels. The paytable consists of three columns that show how the winnings are distributed depending on the number of coins wagered per spin: one, two or three coins. In the bet controls section under the reels there are “+” and “-“ buttons that you should click to increase or decrease a coin size in the range between $0.25 and $10. Clicking a Bet One button switches between one, two or three coins per spin, with respective columns of the paytable highlighted when changing the number of coins. So, the lowest and highest possible bets in Pharaoh’s Fortune are $0.25 and $30 per spin, accordingly.

Scarab is the lowest-paying symbol that awards up to x10 when one, two or three of them appear along the payline. Bar variations (a single, double and triple Bar) pay higher at up to x30, for three of a kind. Pyramids award x80 for three of them. For instance, if you bet the maximum wager of $30 and get three pyramids, you win $2400. And this is not the largest loot up for grabs in the game.

The Pharaoh pic is a jackpot trigger that will give away x500 on a one-coin bet. The winning value of that combination correlates to the number of coins placed and this is not a linear correlation. For other game symbols betting two coins doubles the win and similarly, betting three coins multiplies a win by 3. But the Pharaoh shows a non-linear increase in payouts, i.e., x1000 on a two-coin bet and x2500 on three coins. So the largest fixed jackpot makes up $75,000 if you get the three jackpot symbols exactly on the line. This is a very big potential prize as compared with other three-reel slots from Microgaming and other vendors.
