Le Pharaoh is a Hacksaw Gaming slot from September 2024 that puts a lucky-charm treasure hunt inside an Egyptian tomb: rainbows, clovers and pots of gold share the reels with scarabs and pyramids. It plays on a 6×5 grid with 19 fixed paylines, and nearly every feature feeds into one mechanic, the Golden Squares.
How a spin plays out
Wins don't end the spin. Every winning symbol, wilds included, sticks in place and the rest of the grid drops again. These Sticky Re-Drops continue while new symbols extend the win, so a plain three-of-a-kind can grow over several drops.
Each position that took part in a win becomes a Golden Square. On its own it does nothing. When a Rainbow symbol lands, every Golden Square on the grid flips to reveal coins or special symbols, and those decide the cash prize. Clovers and the Pot of Gold are the ones to hope for in that reveal.
The bonus rounds
Three scatters let you choose between two bonuses. Four scatters offer the same choice between their Super versions.
- Luck of the Pharaoh: 10 free spins where Golden Squares stay on the grid between spins. Two or three more scatters add 2 or 4 spins. The Super version gives 12 spins and guarantees a Clover every time Golden Riches activates.
- Lost Treasures: a Hold & Win round that starts with three refilling lives. Stone Tablets add to or multiply coin values. The Super version starts with an Adding Stone Tablet and makes Pots of Gold and high-value coins more likely.
Five scatters skip the choice and award Rainbow Over the Pyramids: 12 rounds with a Rainbow guaranteed on every spin.
Bonus buy tiers
Where it's allowed, the buy menu has four options: BonusHunt FeatureSpins at 3× the bet, Rainbow FeatureSpins at 60× with Golden Riches guaranteed, either standard bonus at 100× and either Super bonus at 250×. The demo lets you see all of them without paying for any.
