9 Happy Pharaohs Slot Machine - Play 9 Happy Pharaohs Slot Free

Introduction

9 Happy Pharaohs is an online slot with five reels, three rows and 20 always-on paylines.

This title is based on the classic online slot designs, with your traditional fruit-based symbols including the cherries, plums, grapes, watermelon and orange. Additionally, there is the scatter Pharaoh symbol, which holds the key to the jackpot of up to 2,000x the total bet.

Watch out for the free spins symbols, which provide you with 10 retriggerable free spins. These free spins increase your chances of landing Pharaohs on the reels.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The traditional online slot design has a slight Ancient Egyptian twist here, with hieroglyphics in the background and the titular Happy Pharaoh added to your fruit-based symbols.

Graphics are well designed and colorful enough, but there is little out of the ordinary here.

The music has a North African feel, with reel effects somewhat drowning out the otherwise pleasing soundtrack. Annoyingly, the only sound options are everything on or everything off. Big wins trigger a rousing blast of the Radetsky March, which is nice enough, albeit a little random given the Egyptian theme.

9 Happy Pharaohs RTP and Variance

This title has a long-term average RTP of 95.5%, which puts it slightly below the nominal average for titles of this type, which sits around the 96.0% mark. The medium to high volatility of 9 Happy Pharaohs provides this title with balanced gameplay along with the chance to hit some pretty high-value wins. These big wins, however, do not come along often and should not be banked upon.
