Pharaoh’s Wild Slot

Pharaoh’s Wild Slot

When considering Egypt, aside from the mummies, it is often viewed as an exciting journey into the unknown, rather than a frightening one. However, with Pharaoh’s Wild, that perception changes abruptly. It brings to mind the ominous atmosphere of The Mummy film series and the malevolent forces unleashed when an ancient priest with serious issues is resurrected.

Enriched with suspenseful music, menacing growls emanating from the depths of sealed tombs, and the eerie, luminous visage of an undead mummy and Anubis, this game delivers an immensely intense experience. Adding to the thrill (or terror for the faint-hearted) is the presence of these eerie figures on either side of the grid, glaring at you intensely, as if peering into your very soul.

While we didn’t quite succumb to fear-induced blackout, we came uncomfortably close. The allure of the gold awaiting us at the conclusion of this nightmare was the only thing that kept us going; the presence of two guards instead of just one hinted at an extraordinary discovery.

Did You Hear That?

Your light footsteps, though attempting to be discreet on the undisturbed sand, fail to mask a growling sound echoing from an indeterminate direction. Following the sound amid the reverberations, you stumble upon a room that seems long abandoned, yet shows signs of recent habitation.

Despite your silent trembling, the clinking of coins momentarily distracts you, prompting you to glance down. Spread on the ground before you is a gleaming river of gold. As you reach out to collect a handful, the owners of the noise reveal themselves, glaring at you with fury. What will be your course of action?

Momentary Surrender

By “surrender,” we mean relinquishing any money you possess to the menacing duo. Before panic sets in, realizing you only have 0.20 coins, consider yourself lucky, as that amount happens to be the minimum wager, while if your pockets are fuller with 500 credits, that represents the maximum bet. Adjusting the wager is facilitated by a gold circle on the left side of the grid, flanked by plus and minus symbols.

Opposite the wager adjustment is the spin button, adorned in gold with intricate detailing, accompanied by two smaller circles. The upper circle enables you to initiate the Autoplay feature, while the lower one serves as an information panel; activating autoplay opens a window with various options.

The Battle for Your Life

Pharaoh’s Wild features four bonuses, along with an apparent 94% player return rate, suggesting that many players will experience at least a couple of these bonuses during their gameplay.

To simplify the information about the bonuses, we have distilled it into four key points – perhaps note them down and take them with you into the pyramid? Once inside, we may not be of much assistance.

• Mummy Bonus: A random feature in the game where the mummy replaces symbols with matching ones, with the possibility of triggering free spins within this feature.
• Floating Bonus: When matching symbols land on the first reel, they move across the reels to land in other positions.
• Free Spins: Players are granted additional rounds with sliding wilds that move from right to left; the remaining wilds are removed starting from the first reel.
• Surprise Retrigger: Connected to the free spins, the mummy introduces an additional wild suddenly on the grid, restarting the process.

Making History

Storm Gaming has achieved a distinctiveness in the Egyptian theme with Pharaoh’s Wild, a challenging task given its frequent use in the gaming industry. Departing from the conventional approach, they have infused elements of horror and adventure, creating a blend that appeals to a wider audience.
