Bonus Rounds and Payouts
Pharaoh’s Secret has one exciting bonus round and one optional bonus feature
accessible during gameplay.
Xtrawin Bonus Feature
This is an optional extra that allows you to play with an expanding wild in
the base game. To do this, you must bet an extra cost of 50% of your total
stake. What’s more, Playtech states that this feature helps improve the game’s
payout, which means potentially more wins.
Pharaoh’s Secrets Bonus
This free spins round is activated when you land 3 or more pyramid scatters
symbols. Here you should choose between three numbers displayed on the screen
and the number that appears on the special set of reels will be the number of
free spins awarded. There is a minimum of five free spins with a maximum of 100
free spins to be won. This feature can be retriggered when you land more pyramid
symbols while you should also remember the expanding wilds during this round.
Additional Game Features
Pharaoh’s Secret is a 5 reel, 3 row and 20 payline online slot produced by
Playtech and featuring a popular ancient Egyptian theme. The high value symbols
are theme-appropriate and include a tomb door, a scarab, the Eye of Ra and an
eagle/girl combo, while the lower paying symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. The
wild is represented by the Pharaoh’s mask and appears on the second, third and
fourth reels only. Wild symbols will double all wins to which it contributes
during the base game. Wilds will expand in the bonus game. The scatter takes the
form of the pyramid and activates the free spins feature.
To get started, you are advised to adjust your bets. Players will the chance
to choose the number of paylines you want to play, as well as the coin value,
which ranges from 0.01 to 1.00. You will also be able to Bet Max, which

Summary
Pharaoh’s Secret is an intriguing and mesmerising game that will keep you on
the edge of your seat for hours on end. The theme is entertaining and the
visuals striking, but it is worth noting that there is no background music,
which we think would have been a nice touch and added some atmosphere to the
game.
Overall, the bonus feature is quite generous in terms of free spins being
awarded, while the Xtrawin bonus feature provides even more rewards.
