Pharaoh's Gold

There are days when we need something simple. Something familiar. Something ordinary, that will not burden our mind with flashiness and complicated rules. Something we’ve already seen before. Those are the days when we should rather opt for classic slots, than to go for fancy, cartoonish video slots. In times like these, the feeling of a good ol’ 3-reel slot (same like the ones in land casinos) from the comfort of your own home will do wonders for your mood. And, maybe, your wallet, as well.

Realtime Gaming may have just the right thing – “Pharaoh’s Gold” is a 3-reel classic slot, which introduces a new theme into the world of classic slots. If you’re used to the traditional cherries and red sevens, you won’t see them here. The only symbols featured in this slot are snakes, scarabs, pharaoh eyes and masks. Oh, right – there are also Egyptian crosses, which appear everywhere on the reels, but apparently have no function whatsoever. They don’t even exist in the paytable, but they are quite often on the reels. A rather confusing symbol, I have to admit.

Another difference from usual classic slots is that “Pharaoh’s Gold” allows its players more chance to win , as it doesn’t offer only one payline, but three, thus increasing player’s odds against the casino. The appearance of the slot is quite genuine – it looks like a real slot machine, and it’s drawn in detail: the designers even made a reflection of the buttons in the shiny machine parts above them. This makes the feeling you have when you play “Pharaoh’s Gold” absolutely authentic.

In regards to the amounts to play with, this slot will let you pick what you prefer. To begin with, there is a choice among credit chips used to start the machine: there are $5, $25, and $100 chip. After you made a decision on those, you need to decide what coin value is right for you. There’s a choice between $0.05, $0.25, $0.50, $1, and $5, so there’s something for every pocket. You can use one, two or three coins per line; however, it’s recommendable to play on the maximum number of lines and place the maximum number of coins, because your chances of winning will be increased as well as the ultimate prize you are awarded when you get a top winning combination.

Even though at first sight it appears that there aren’t enough combinations to let you win something, they still appear quite often, sometimes even on more than one payline, which still allows decent wins. Of course, the snakes are the most common combination, but the other, more generous ones, appear as well.

All in all, this interesting classic slot will keep your attention for longer than you probably expected. It may also reward your willingness to try it out. In any case, you win.
