Pharaoh's Fortune Slot Machine

The Pharaoh's Fortune game is a classic 5-reel, 15-payline slot machine made by IGT. This game features Wild symbols, Scatters and a free spin bonus, just like the original game it was based on, called Cleopatra.

Pharaoh's Fortune can still be found in most casinos across the USA and Canada, despite the fact it is over 10 years old now. It is especially popular in Atlantic City for some reason, where you can play it on the top floor of the Trump and the Tropicana.

Pharaoh's Fortune is also one of the biggest games in Europe. One of the things people really love about this game is the soundtrack that plays in the background (Walk Like an Egyptian). For many players this game is actually more enjoyable than Cleopatra, with the soundtrack playing a big role in making it so much fun.

Just like Cleopatra in that regard, this game is available in the UK, in Germany, in Australia and all over Latin America. It is one of the few slot machine games ever made that has made a massive impact in countries all over the world.

Bonus Round

This Pharaoh's Fortune slot machine has a free spin bonus round which is good fun and can lead to some big wins.

The thing players really love about the bonus is the pick and choose round before you go into the free spins. When you hit the bonus, you get presented with a pyramid and you get to pick the symbols out, which in turn reveal mystery features and prizes.

So, for example, you might pick out an icon that gives you extra multipliers in the free spins round, or one that gives you a load of extra free spins. If you were really lucky, you could get yourself a total of 25 free spins, each of which would also get you a 6x multiplier on all wins — that's pretty much the same as getting 150 free spins!

Pharaoh's Fortune Real Money Slots

To play for real money, you will most likely need to visit a land-based casino, because online this game is restricted to just a few countries. One exception is the UK, where you can play online for real cash prizes, due to the excellent Government regulation of online gambling.

High Limit Play

Pharaoh's Fortune is a very popular game in the Vegas high limit slots rooms. You will find it in nearly all the VIP areas in Vegas, even though it is not quite as popular as the 3-reel games, like Triple Diamond and Five Times Pay. It is certainly one of the most popular 5-reel video slots.

If you head to a high limit room in one of the more upmarket casinos, like in Caesars or the Wynn, you might find this game available to play for $10 per line, or even more!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the RTP of Pharaoh's Fortune slots?

IGT has not publicly disclosed a specific RTP (Return to Player) for Pharaoh's Fortune. As a classic land-based IGT title, the theoretical return is configured by individual casinos. The game's 15 fixed paylines and the pick-and-choose pyramid bonus preceding free spins — which can deliver up to 25 free spins with a 6x multiplier — are the primary drivers of its high-end payout potential. Its longevity in high-limit rooms across Las Vegas suggests a competitive return rate for an IGT title of its era.

Can I play Pharaoh's Fortune for real money online?

Pharaoh's Fortune can be played for real money both in land-based casinos and at online casinos. In the United States, the real money game cannot be played online outside of regulated states. Any good online casino in the UK will offer this game for real money play, and it is also widely available in Europe, Australia and Latin America.

What is the pick-and-choose pyramid bonus in Pharaoh's Fortune?

Before entering free spins, Pharaoh's Fortune presents a pick-and-choose round featuring a pyramid. Players select symbols from the pyramid, each revealing a mystery prize — such as additional free spins or enhanced multipliers for the upcoming free spin session. The best possible outcome from this bonus picker is 25 free spins with a 6x multiplier on all wins — mathematically equivalent to 150 standard free spins — making it one of the most generous bonus outcomes in any classic IGT slot.

Are there any slots similar to Pharaoh's Fortune?

Ancient Egypt is a common theme for slot machines and there are many similar titles. Pharaoh's Fortune itself is based on IGT's Cleopatra slot and shares its core mechanics. Other comparable titles include Pharaoh's Secrets, Pharaoh's Treasure Deluxe and Pharaoh's Gold. Fans of Pharaoh's Fortune who enjoy its Walk Like an Egyptian soundtrack and pick-bonus format will also likely enjoy IGT's broader catalogue of Egyptian-themed slots.

Can I play Pharaoh's Fortune slots on my smartphone?

Since Pharaoh's Fortune is one of IGT's older products — originally released in 2005 — it is not available for mobile play. Pharaoh's Fortune is a desktop-only video slot and cannot be played on smartphones or tablets. Players looking for a mobile-compatible alternative should look for newer IGT Egyptian-themed titles that have been built with full HTML5 mobile support.

What is the maximum win in Pharaoh's Fortune slots?

The maximum win in Pharaoh's Fortune is 10,000 coins for a five-of-a-kind Wild symbol combination. In the free spins bonus, an additional win multiplier of up to 6x is applied — potentially multiplying all payouts significantly. The combination of 25 free spins and a 6x multiplier, accessed via the pyramid pick bonus, represents the game's peak winning scenario and is the primary reason the game has remained popular in Las Vegas high-limit rooms for so many years.
