Paylines
25 fixed paylines
Twilight settles over the desert. A pyramid glows in the distance, palm trees lean into a warm haze, and a young Pharaoh peeks from the side panel like he knows something you don't. That's the mood Zillion Games sets for Pharaoh's Secret, an Egyptian-themed release dated June 11, 2026.
The machine itself runs on a 5×4 grid with 25 fixed paylines and a 95.25% RTP. Volatility is medium, which is honestly the part most players will appreciate. You're not waiting forever between hits, but you're not winning crumbs either. Hit rate sits at 2.98%, so roughly one in every 33 spins lands something. Bet range stretches from 0.10 to 100 EUR.
Now, the symbol cast. Stone-carved royals (A, K, Q, J) sit at the bottom of the paytable. Above them you'll find a green Ankh, a purple Eye of Horus, a sapphire ring, and a red orb medallion. The Pharaoh Wild shows up as a full stack in the base game, which can paint entire reels gold when it lands flush. There's also a Random Wild trigger that drops two or more wilds onto any spin without warning. Pleasant surprise mechanic.
The pyramid Scatter handles free spins. Land three and you get 8 spins, with unlimited retriggers if more scatters keep showing up. During free spins the Stack Wild swaps roles for a Walking Wild, which moves between cells across spins instead of staying put. That's a nice touch, actually.
And then there's the Hold and Ring bonus, which is where the real money lives. Six bonus coins trigger it, or five coins plus one Boost. Coins lock in place, empty cells respin, and Mystery symbols can flip into coin values or one of three jackpot tiers (Mini 20x, Minor 50x, Major 100x). Fill every cell on the 20-position grid and the Grand Jackpot pays 1000x bet. Max win caps at 1300x.
One trade-off worth flagging: there's no bonus buy. If you're someone who likes paying for direct access to features, you'll have to play the long way around. Is that a dealbreaker? For some, maybe. For most, the Accumulation Feature (passive progression toward a guaranteed bonus game) softens it nicely. Solid math, classic theme, a few clever mechanics stitched together.
