| Release year | 2021 (official TaDa page: May 2021; Clash of Slots: May 24, 2021). AboutSlots (December 18, 2019) and VegasSlotsOnline (January 16, 2022) give different dates |
| Grid and ways | Variable reels, up to 7×6 (official page) and up to 117,649 ways. According to AboutSlots: 6 reels, 3 to 7 rows |
| RTP | 96.6% (AboutSlots). Not on the official page and "no information" on Clash of Slots, so the official default is not yet verified |
| Volatility | Conflicting: Low Medium (VegasSlotsOnline), Medium (AboutSlots), "average" (Clash of Slots). Not on the official page |
| Max win | 5,000× the bet (official TaDa page, VegasSlotsOnline, AboutSlots) |
| Min/max bet | Not yet verified for PH sites (AboutSlots: 0.2 to 200; Clash of Slots: $0.10 to $100) |
117,649 is 7 to the 6th power (7×7×7×7×7×7), so the max ways happen when all six reels are 7 symbols tall. Most spins have fewer ways.
About the provider: Pharaoh Treasure is known in the Philippines as a JILI game. Outside Asia, the same title is listed under TaDa Gaming, and it has an official game page on tadagaming.com, so that's the main source we used. In the Clash of Slots database, the game is listed under "Jili Games, TaDa Gaming". In the SlotsLaunch database, Pharaoh Treasure's JILI URL redirects to its TaDa Gaming page. The exact corporate relationship between JILI and TaDa is not yet verified. For other studios, read our slot providers guide.
How to play and how it pays
Pharaoh Treasure pays on ways across variable reels. Each reel's height changes every spin, so the number of ways changes too, up to 117,649.
Every win triggers a cascade. According to the official page, "continuous elimination" raises the winning multiplier. According to AboutSlots, the combo multiplier in the base game goes up to 5x, and the aim of the game is to keep the cascades going.
- Variable reels: reel heights differ every spin.
- Cascades: winning symbols disappear and new ones drop in.
- Combo multiplier: climbs with consecutive wins, up to 5x in the base game according to AboutSlots.
If you're new to ways and cascades, read our slots guide first.
Features: framed symbols, Scarab and free game
The free game is where Pharaoh Treasure's multipliers matter most. Here's what the sources we opened say.
- Wilds and framed symbols. AboutSlots lists Wild Symbols and Symbol Frames as helping to keep cascades going. Clash of Slots lists "Mystery Symbols" instead.
- Free game. According to AboutSlots, all multipliers are doubled in free spins. The trigger and number of free spins are not yet verified.
- Scarab. The official page says the Scarab awards extra free games and guarantees a minimum number of lines in the free game.
- Bonus Buy. Listed on Clash of Slots. It may be disabled on some sites or markets.
Big wins come from long cascade chains with high multipliers. That's rare, and it isn't guaranteed in every free game.
Pharaoh Treasure RTP and volatility
If the 96.6% figure from AboutSlots matches your site's version, the long-run house edge is about 3.4%. But it isn't listed on the official page, so the info screen is the final answer. Read our RTP explainer.
Reviews disagree on volatility, from Low Medium to Medium. The 5,000x max win is higher than many JILI slots, so expect stretches of small or no wins before a big cascade hits. Our volatility guide will help you match it to your budget.
Just an example: a ₱1,000 session budget at ₱10 per spin is about 100 spins if nothing hits. At 96.6% RTP, the expected cost on ₱1,000 total wagered is about ₱34. If you re-spin your wins until the total wagered reaches ₱4,000, the expected cost rises to about ₱136.
Set a budget you can afford to lose, and stop when it's gone.
Myths and common mistakes
Pharaoh Treasure's big numbers attract a lot of wishful thinking. These are the common mistakes.
- "117,649 ways every spin." No. That's the maximum, when every reel is at its tallest.
- "The combo multiplier carries over to the next spin." It climbs within a cascade chain. In the base game, it resets on a new spin.
- "More Scarabs means a sure 5,000x." They only give extra free games and lines. There's no guarantee on win size.
- "There are times when the game is looser." There's no such thing. The RNG decides every spin.
Where to play legally
Only play Pharaoh Treasure on a PAGCOR-licensed site, and check the exact address before you sign up. Many copycat sites use the names of popular JILI games to lure players.
- Type the exact website address into our PAGCOR license checker. A logo that "looks legit" isn't enough.
- Inside the game, open the info or rules screen and check the RTP of the version set up on that site.
- Deposit only through the site's official cashier, not to the personal GCash number of an "agent" or a group chat. Follow the safe GCash and Maya deposit guide for slots.
