Pharaoh's Empire Slot Machine - Play Pharaoh's Empire Slot Free

Introduction

Pharaoh's Empire is an online video slot from well-known British developer Platipus. Although a relatively young company, Platipus's strong stable of high-quality titles has helped to establish it in an overcrowded slot marketplace. You can check out more Platipus Gaming online slots here at Slots Temple to get a feel for their style, or why not try other Ancient Egyptian themed slots such as the Pharaoh's Fortune free slot?

Take a journey into the Valley of the Kings with Pharaoh's Empire and see what riches you can discover. The game sees players attempt to match symbols in pre-determined winning positions to win payouts, much as you would expect from a conventional slot.

Graphics and soundtrack

Set amongst the ruins of Giza's world-famous pyramids, Pharaoh's Empire features the same high visual quality that has marked Platipus’s releases thus far. The pleasing reel symbols are based around Ancient Egyptian iconography, such as the Eye of Horus and the ankh. The game blinks with high-quality animations between spins against a purple-tinged background - the designers have certainly done a great job with the visuals.

The soundtrack manages to be mysterious and draw the player in without being overly repetitive or invasive, which is a criticism you can level at many online slots. The sound effect that accompanies a display of your winning lines after a spin can be a little annoying if you don't immediately spin again, although it is possible to turn this off.

Pharaoh's Empire RTP and volatility

Pharaoh's Empire has an RTP of 95.02 per cent, which is slightly below the market average, and low volatility. Although this isn't going to win it many high rolling players, its relatively low 50.00 maximum stake suggests that Platipus is aiming at the more relaxed players in the slot market. There is still more than enough here for gamers to get their teeth into thanks to the bonus game features, which we will take a look at a little later.

How to play Pharaoh’s Empire

Pharaoh's Empire is pretty straight forward to play. Here are a few easy steps to get you started:

1. Once the game has loaded, look for the three-line tab symbol to the bottom left of the screen. Click this to display the half-screen pause menu for the game, which has buttons for the game's paytable, information and betting history.

2. Click the paytable button to display the payouts available for successfully matching symbols in winning positions in Pharaoh's Empire. Click the information button to display the game's general rules. It is always a good idea to take a moment to familiarize yourself with this information before playing to ensure a more rewarding gaming experience.

3. The history button displays information on the player's previous wagers, which is useful for understanding your winning strategies and for responsible gaming.

4. Click the back button to return to the normal gameplay screen. The menu at the bottom of the screen beneath the gaming reels is used to control normal gameplay. The audio icon on the left side can be used to control the music and sound effects.

5. Click on the small arrow to the right of the line bet menu to adjust your wager amount between 0.25 and 50.00.

6. The two buttons to the right of this control the game's auto and quickplay features. Quickplay simply increases the speed of the reel rotation to allow more frequent spins, while the autoplay feature allows players to spin between 25 and 100 games consecutively in just a couple of clicks.

7. Once you have set an appropriate budget for your gaming session, you are ready to click the spin button to the bottom right of the screen and start playing. Always remember to play responsibly.

Bet sizes and paytable wins

Pharaoh's Empire is aimed at the more relaxed slots player, with its wager being adjustable from 0.25 through to a maximum of 50.00 and relatively low payouts. This will be governed by local currency and gaming laws in your region, so please check before playing. For successfully matching five symbols in paying positions across the reels, the player will be rewarded as below:

- 5 x Eye of Horus or ankh = 750.00
- 5 x scarab beetle = 400.00
- 5 x lotus = 250.00
- 5 x ace = 125.00
- 5 x king/queen/jack/nine or ten = 100.00

There is also a wild Pharaoh symbol that substitutes for any of these symbols while paying 3,000.00 for successfully matching five times, along with a pyramid scatter symbol that multiplies your payout depending on its position.

Pyramid scatter symbol bonus game

Landing three or more scatter symbols on the reels will trigger this interesting bonus feature. Players must select one of four pyramids to enter and search for treasure to be won:

5 x free spins with 10x multiplier
10 x free spins with 5x multiplier
15 x free spins with 3x multiplier
20 x free spins with 2x multiplier

This is a nice and simple bonus feature that helps to keep the gameplay engaging for longer and is sure to keep players coming back to hunt for the bigger multipliers.
