Four optional side bets sit on top of the stake here, and the first of them is the only way into a Jewel jackpot worth 3,000x the line bet. Underneath, the pyramid Scatter still hands out 10, 25 or 100 Free Games, the Pharaoh's mask pays from two on a line, and my 350 spins at 6.20 returned 43.8%…
Pharao's Riches Golden Nights Bonus is a 5-reel, up-to-30-payline slot. The reels are three rows high, and the line count can be set to 10, 20 or 30. It contains a Free Games feature and a Golden Nights Bonus with Jewel and Super Jewel jackpots, and, available from 0.02 to 36.00, Pharao's Riches Golden Nights Bonus has an Egyptian theme. Line wins pay from left to right on an active payline.
Symbols comprise 10, J, Q, K and A playing cards, along with premium symbols in the shape of ankhs, bangles, red ornaments and the Pharaoh's mask, the latter of which is the most lucrative. The mask is also the only symbol that pays from 2 of a kind, at 5x the line bet, while everything else needs 3. It gives a 1,000x line bet win for 5 on a payline.
For 5 of a kind, the red ornament pays up to 500x the line bet, the ankh and bangle up to 250x, and the playing cards up to 200x. The wild is depicted by a blue diamond symbol. It substitutes for every symbol except the scatter. The pyramid is the scatter.
Making 1 to 4 side bets (6x, 15x, 30x or 60x line bet) opens up the Golden Nights Bonus. It fires at random. The first side bet is the one that gives access to the Jewel jackpot. Three treasure chests open, and numbered reels fill a thermometer. The level the thermometer reaches determines the prize.
It contains a Jewel (3,000x) and a Super Jewel (15,000x) jackpot. Both figures are multiples of the line bet, and the side game carries its own very high volatility and an RTP of at least 96.02%.
Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols will grant 10, 25 and 100 Free Games for the quantity of symbols landed, respectively. During Free Games, Wilds land stacked. That's roughly it as far as the free games go, and the Free Games feature can be retriggered by landing Scatter symbols again. Any win can also be taken to the card gamble or the risk ladder.
Let me simply put that out in the open immediately: Pharao's Riches Golden Nights Bonus is a stubborn game. Over 350 spins at 6.20, 2,170.00 went in and 951.32 came back, a session return of 43.8%. It has an RTP of 96.10%. Its max win of 15,000x line bet can only be reached by landing the Super Jewel in the Golden Nights Bonus. Only 99 of the 350 spins paid anything, and 64 of those paid less than the stake. The free games add stacked Wilds to the base game and little else, and, certainly, there is a 3,000x Jewel jackpot, but good luck with that. The largest win was 111.60 on spin 146, straight after the session's longest run without a win, 15 spins, ended on spin 145.
The Minty Summary: The free games never landed once in 350 spins, and the base game never paid more than 18x the stake.
