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.

Where to play for real money

CAD depositsAccepts players from across Canada and takes deposits in Canadian dollars. You register and play on their site: this page holds no accounts and handles no money.
Ontario runs its own licensed market through iGO and AGCO, and the rules there are not the rules of the rest of Canada. Check what applies where you live before you deposit.
How Le Pharaoh pays
The game runs on 6 reels of 5 rows, 30 positions in total.
Wins follow fixed patterns running across the reels, and a symbol only counts when it sits on an active line. The paytable lists every line the game uses, so a winning-looking screen can still pay nothing if the symbols fall off-line.
A balance between how often wins land and how large they get, which is where most modern releases sit. Expect stretches of nothing punctuated by wins worth several times the stake.
The ceiling is 15,000x the stake, so a $1 spin caps at $15,000.
Around 200 spins of budget gives the distribution room to show itself.

What Le Pharaoh actually does
Le Pharaoh is tagged with 9 mechanics. Here is what each one means in play.
Free Spins
Free spins run without deducting from your balance, and the round usually carries a modification the base game does not have, such as added multipliers or extra wilds. The number awarded is normally tied to how many scatters landed to trigger it.
Wild
A wild stands in for most paying symbols to complete a line that would otherwise fall short. It usually cannot replace scatters or bonus symbols, so it helps with regular wins rather than with triggering the bonus round.
Multiplier
A multiplier increases the value of a win by a set factor. Games differ in where it applies: some attach it to individual symbols, others to the whole spin, and many raise it progressively during a bonus round.
Buy Bonus
The buy option skips the wait for scatters by charging a fixed multiple of your stake to enter the bonus round directly, commonly between 60x and 100x. It is restricted or unavailable in several regulated markets, so the button may not appear depending on where you play.
Respins
A respin holds the current symbols in place and spins only the remaining positions, giving a second chance to complete a combination. Some games award respins for near misses, others for landing a specific symbol.
Hold And Win
Landing enough special symbols starts a round where they lock in place and the remaining positions respin, usually with three attempts that reset each time a new symbol lands. The round ends when the attempts run out or the grid fills.
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.
Scatter
Scatter symbols count wherever they land, ignoring paylines and reel positions. In most games they are the trigger for free spins, and in some they also pay on their own.
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?
Le Pharaoh runs at a published return to player of 96.21%. That figure is a long-run average measured over millions of spins, not a target for any single session.
Can I play Le Pharaoh for free?
Yes. The demo on this page runs the game with virtual credits, with no deposit or signup. Nothing can be won, and nothing is wagered.
What is the maximum win on Le Pharaoh?
The ceiling is 15,000x the stake, so a $1 spin caps at $15,000. Wins of that size are extremely rare and should not be treated as a realistic outcome.
Ready to play Le Pharaoh for real money?
The demo costs nothing and runs the same maths, so start there. When you do deposit, set the limit before you play, not after. 18+/19+ depending on your province.
