Pharaoh's Gold 3 Slot Review

Novomatic are the creators behind the Pharaoh’s Gold 3 slot machine and as you’ve probably guessed by its name, the slot machine is jammed full of Ancient Egyptian features and symbols. You can get your hands on free spins, wilds, scatters, multipliers plus an extraordinary non-progressive jackpot of 900,000!

Players can choose to play low risk bets from as little as 0.09 or if you’re a thrill seeker looking for that huge jackpot, you can bet up to a maximum of 900.00 in every spin. The more you bet – the more you can win, but also bear in mind that the more you bet, the quicker you will run out of money.

Tomb-Tastic Scenery

By playing Pharaoh’s Gold 3 slot machine, the design and theme drags you into the slot, as is you have taken a voyage across the world to find the buried treasures of Egypt. Your reels are set as ancient scrolls surrounded by luxurious gold.

Either side of the reels you will find the colourful paylines to help point out the different winning lines. Look beyond the reels and you will see hieroglyphics, pyramids and dark red skies.

Symbols featured on the reels include various ancient Egyptian artefacts as well as card values 9, 10, J, Q, K and A.

Start Your Journey

There are various buttons to the lower of your reels, these will help you set a bet that you’re comfortable with. The buttons featured left to right are; paytable, 1 line, 3 lines, 5 lines, 7 lines, 9 lines, bet one, bet max, start/skip/take win and automatic start.

To get your hands on that mega jackpot, you have to spin in 5 of a kind of the Tutankhamun rich golden symbols – this awards the maximum payout of 900,000.

Hidden Gems

Wild – Tutankhamun plays a vital role in Pharaoh’s Gold 3 slot machine, he is the wild and substitutes for all other symbols (except the scatter) to help complete winning combinations on the reels.

Scatter – the Eye of Horus is the scatter symbol – two symbols on your paylines awards a 2x multiplier. Three or more will start the free spins bonus.

Free spins – by spinning in 3, 4 or 5 scatters, you will receive 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier. All of your winnings will be tripled at the end of your free spins.

Gamble – we were a little confused by the gamble feature at first, but we soon understood the buttons and what you had to do. Any win on your payline will allow you to gamble to win more. Now, if you decide to keep your current win, you simply press the start button, but if you wish to gamble, you have to press either the red bet one or black bet max buttons.

A new screen will pop up in front of your reels with playing cards face down and red and black options. You have to press the button that you think the next card suit will be – so if you think the face down card will be black, you click the black bet max option. If you think red, you press the red bet one button.

This gamble feature allows you to bet a maximum of 5 correct guesses – but you have to decide when you wish to stop, because it’s a 50/50 chance if you’re going to win or lose everything.

Very Rewarding

Tutankhamun is the key to big wins in the Pharaoh’s Gold 3 slot machine. When he appears on your reels he can transform your balance – especially during the free spins mode or by hitting 5 of a kind – now that’s life-changing amounts of cash (if you’re playing maximum stakes that is).

The way the slot machine has been designed is like a classic arcade slot machine, with various buttons and little display menus – to make you think you are playing a real machine; we like this.

We found the slot machine easy to play, but a little difficult to navigate at first. Probably best to try the game in demo mode first, just to get used to it. There’s plenty of ways that you can win and free spins can be retriggered allowing you to accumulate more cash.

Other than the free spins feature, there’s not much on offer – but that non-progressive jackpot should be enough to get you excited.
