How it plays
Le Pharaoh, released September 26, 2024, is the Egyptian follow-up to Le Bandit, starring the same raccoon — Smokey — now in pharaoh's regalia. It plays on a 6×5 grid with 19 paylines and a medium 3/5 volatility rating (hit frequency 29.21%).
The engine is built on Sticky Re-drops: winning symbols lock in place and the rest of the grid re-drops, giving each win a chance to improve. The Golden Riches feature layers in Bronze, Silver and Gold coins, Green and Golden Clovers applying x2–x20 multipliers, and Pot of Gold symbols that collect adjacent coin values.
Bonus features
Landing 3 or 4 scatters opens a Bonus Choice: Luck of the Pharaoh (10 free spins), Super Luck of the Pharaoh (12 enhanced spins), Lost Treasures (a three-lives Stone Tablet bonus), or Super Lost Treasures. Five scatters at once trigger the epic Rainbow Over the Pyramids — 12 free spins with a guaranteed Rainbow symbol every spin.
All modes are available through Bonus Buy options.
RTP versions
Hacksaw publishes four builds: 96.18% standard, plus 94.33%, 92.26% and 88.24%. Which one you get depends on the casino, so check the in-game paytable.
Verdict
Le Pharaoh raises the series ceiling to 15,000x while keeping the approachable medium volatility that made Le Bandit a hit — the coin-collecting Golden Riches loop gives it a distinct hold-your-breath rhythm of its own.
