Our take
Egyptian-themed 6×5 slot from Hacksaw with 96.16% RTP, Sticky Re-Drops, and free spins up to 15,000x.
Le Pharaoh is a 6-reel, 5-row slot from Hacksaw Gaming with 96.16% RTP and high volatility. The Egyptian theme features golden beetles, all-seeing eyes, ankhs, and hieroglyphic trinkets. Smokey the Raccoon returns from the "Le" series, awkwardly donning pharaonic attire. The 19 paylines feel restrictive compared to series peers.
The Sticky Re-Drops mechanic is the signature feature. When a winning combination lands, symbols stick in place and the reels respin. Any new wins that appear lock as well, causing the process to repeat. This creates expanding win chains where a single spin can blossom into a board-filling payout.
Golden Squares add secondary mechanics. These symbols appear on the reels and, when part of a winning combination, stick and reveal coins (up to 500x), multipliers that boost other symbols, or collectors that gather prize symbols across spins. Free spins are available in two styles—player choice adds strategic depth. At 96.16% RTP, Le Pharaoh outperforms low-RTP competitors, but the 19-payline layout restricts win frequency in a high-volatility game.
