Le Pharaoh
Slots · Released September 26, 2024
Alone in the Le series, this one pays on lines and runs a hold-and-win round rather than the cluster grid the rest of the family shares. Hold and win locks each triggering symbol in place and grants respins that reset whenever another lands, which turns the bonus into a slow accumulation instead of the tumble chains Le Bandit and Le Cowboy are built on.

How Le Pharaoh pays
The game runs on 6 reels of 5 rows, 30 positions in total.
Le Pharaoh is rated medium volatility. Against the 28 Hacksaw Gaming titles here, its 96.21% return runs 0.07 points below their 96.275% median, and the 15,000x ceiling is 1.3 times their 11,250x median.
The ceiling is 15,000x the stake, so a $1 spin caps at $15,000.
It is the 26th of 35 2024 releases from Hacksaw Gaming that we track.
Hacksaw Gaming publishes the 96.21% return, the 15,000x ceiling and the 29.21% hit frequency on its own page for Le Pharaoh at hacksawgaming.com.
What Le Pharaoh actually does
Le Pharaoh pays by paylines across a 6x5 grid, the format on 88 of the 221 games in this catalogue.
Free Spins is the round the rest feeds, with respins changing how it behaves once it starts. The 15,000x ceiling is reachable there and effectively nowhere else.
Buy Bonus shortens the wait at a higher stake. That widens the swing on a medium-volatility game without moving the 96.21% return, and several regulated markets switch the option off entirely.

Bonus Game
The bonus game moves play to a distinct screen or mode with mechanics the base game does not use. It is triggered by its own symbol combination and pays out before returning to normal play.
Symbol Collection
Specific symbols are banked in a meter across spins, and reaching a threshold awards a bonus round or prize. Whether the meter resets between sessions depends on the game.
Setting and presentation
Egyptian. Pharaohs, tombs and hieroglyphs, one of the oldest and most crowded themes in slot design.
Adventure. Expedition and exploration framing, with the bonus round usually presented as reaching a destination or uncovering a find.

Le Pharaoh questions
How does the hold and win feature in Le Pharaoh work?
Landing enough trigger symbols locks them in position and starts a set of respins. Every new symbol locks and resets the respin counter, and the round ends when the respins run out or the grid fills. Values are collected at the end rather than paid as they land.
Is Le Pharaoh a cluster pays game like the rest of the Le series?
No. It pays on fixed lines across a 6x5 grid, while Le Bandit, Le Cowboy, Le Fisherman and Le Santa all pay by cluster. It is the outlier of the family in both its pay mechanic and its bonus structure.
What is the RTP of Le Pharaoh?
96.21%, published by Hacksaw Gaming. That is 0.07 points below the 96.28% median of the other 27 Hacksaw Gaming games with a page here. Against the 220 published returns across the whole catalogue it is 0.01 points above the 96.2% median.
Can I play Le Pharaoh for free?
Yes. The build above is the one Hacksaw Gaming ships, at the same 96.21% return and the same 15,000x ceiling; only the credits are virtual, and there is no deposit or signup. It runs the same 6 reels of 5 rows, 30 positions in total as the paid build.
What is the maximum win on Le Pharaoh?
The ceiling is 15,000x the stake, so a $1 spin caps at $15,000. The other 27 Hacksaw Gaming games published here sit at a 10,000x median. Across the 219 published ceilings the median is 10,000x, and 65 of them reach further than this one, while 17 stop at the same figure.
