Le Pharaoh Bonus Rounds — 5 Games, Your Choice

Le Pharaoh has five distinct bonus games, more than most Hacksaw releases. Three are free-spin variants, two are hold-and-win. You don't get assigned one randomly — you choose. That choice is the most consequential decision in the entire slot. Pick wrong for your bankroll, and a €100 bonus buy turns into a €12 return.

How to Trigger the Bonus

Land 3, 4, or 5 FS scatter symbols anywhere on the grid during the base game. 3 scatters open the Bonus Choice menu with two options: Luck of the Pharaoh or Lost Treasures. 4 scatters upgrade both to their Super variants. 5 scatters bypass the choice entirely and launch Rainbow Over the Pyramids — the most powerful mode. In practice, 3-scatter triggers appear roughly every 150–200 spins. 4-scatter hits are significantly rarer, and 5-scatter triggers are outlier events.

Luck of the Pharaoh vs Lost Treasures

Luck of the Pharaoh gives you 10 free spins (12 in Super). Sticky Re-Drops and Golden Riches carry over from the base game, but Golden Squares persist for the entire round — even after a Rainbow activates them. That means squares accumulate spin after spin, building toward a massive reveal. Lost Treasures is fundamentally different: it's a hold-and-win game. You start with 3 lives. Only special symbols appear — coins, Pots of Gold, Stone Tablets, Clovers, and dead symbols. Every spin costs a life; any non-dead symbol refills all 3. Adding Stone Tablets assign values to coins, Multiplying Tablets multiply them. When you run out of lives, everything on the grid pays out at once. The Super version guarantees an Adding Stone Tablet on the first spin and improves coin quality.

Rainbow Over the Pyramids — The Epic Bonus

This is the ceiling. 5 scatters trigger 12 free spins with Sticky Re-Drops, persistent Golden Squares, and a guaranteed Rainbow symbol on every spin. Every Re-Drop sequence that creates Golden Squares results in an immediate Golden Riches payout. No waiting for a lucky Rainbow — it's there every round. Retriggering is possible: 2 extra scatters add 2 spins, 3 extra scatters add 4. You cannot buy Rainbow Over the Pyramids directly — it only triggers organically. That rarity is the price of its power.

Which Bonus Should You Pick

If your session goal is steady, moderate returns — pick Luck of the Pharaoh. Persistent Golden Squares build value predictably, and the free-spin structure gives you time to accumulate. If you're hunting a life-changing hit and can absorb a total loss — Lost Treasures is the path. Its hold-and-win structure produces extreme variance: many rounds pay under 20×, but when Stone Tablets and Pots of Gold align, the payout can reach four figures. Match the bonus to your bankroll and your goal for the session, not to excitement.
