Pharaoh Sun - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction to Pharaoh Sun

With 243 ways to win in the base game and up to 3,125 in the free spins bonus, Pharaoh Sun is an obvious choice for many slot players. It follows a clear Egyptian theme, which is brought together by the symbols on the reels with the imposing Tutankhamun mask above. The slot uses the AGS PowerXStream system to determine how much you are paid out by basing your win on the number on the symbols available, combining this payout structure with fun features. On the reels, you can find wilds, a free spins bonus and a jackpot pick game that could see you walk away with one of four potential jackpots.

Pharaoh Sun Game theme and graphics

The general layout of this slot is a little different, with the reels on the right-hand side whilst the space on the left-hand side is taken up by information regarding the available jackpot totals. The jackpots appear above the slot title, which is lit by the beaming sun as it creates a red and orange sky. It is bright, warm and inviting, which certainly helps when deciding whether to stick around and play.

On the right-hand side are the 5x3 reels, which are overlooked by Tutankhamun and two huge columns complete with engraved hieroglyphics. The sun bounces off King Tut’s golden mask to light up the reels below.

On the reels are the playing card symbols jack to ace alongside many Egyptian elements, including an ankh cross, a stone tablet, a black cat, and a sphinx. There is also the Eye of Horus, which acts as one of the special symbols in the slot.

Pharaoh Sun bonus features and free spins

The golden scarab beetle is the wild and appears on reels two, three and four. This will substitute for all other symbols to help form a winning combination.

The wild symbol is also the key to landing one of the jackpots. If one of these symbols appears on the reels, it could trigger the Jackpot Pick Bonus. If this occurs, you will be asked to choose from 12 golden coins to reveal three matching jackpot symbols. You will then win the corresponding jackpot.

The Eye of Horus is the bonus symbol that is the way to win free spins. Not only will three, four and five of these pay out 440, 880 and 4,400 credits but also you will get to select from three free spins games.

- 15 free spins - 243 ways to win - 5x3 reel set.
- 10 free spins - 1,024 ways to win - 5x4 reel set.
- 15 free spins - 3,125 ways to win - 5x5 reel set.
