About Pharaoh’s Ring
Pharaoh’s Ring is the sequel to hugely popular Book of Ra video slot. In many ways, this game is even better than its predecessor. The original slot shouldn’t have been as big as it turned out to be, since it had dodgy graphics, and a basic setup. You can’t argue with the masses, though. Book of Ra was a runaway success, so there is every chance that Pharaoh’s Ring will be, too. This slot features more improved graphics than its predecessor, but the basic gaming structure remains the same. There are a total of 5 reels and 20 paylines for you to wager on in Pharaoh’s Ring, with players able to adjust them as they see fit. They can also adjust their line bets from 2p up to £4 a pop. This will leave you with a floor bet of just 2p per line, per spin, and a ceiling bet of £100 per spin. Players can win anything up to 20,000 coins with this slot’s non-progressive jackpot.
Special Features
Just like in the original Book of Ra game, Pharaoh’s Ring uses just a single icon for its wild, and scatter symbol. This symbol is the Book of Ra symbol itself. The bonus icon can not only substitute for all other symbols in the game, bar the Pharaohs’ Ring icon, but it can also offer you scattered wins, as well as a free spins bonus.
The Pharaoh’s Ring symbol is a second wild icon. This wild symbol can substitute for all symbols in the slot, including the bonus icon, as well as expanding wilds (which occur in the free spins bonus) round.
The gamble feature in this slot isn’t worth messing with. You don’t stand a decent chance of success (just 50% or less), and there are many other ways in which you can pocket huge and impressive wins without this feature. Why bother, then?
Free spins bonus
Should players locate three or more scatter icons in any position on the reels, then they will trigger the free spins bonus round. In this bonus, players can start with a total of 10 free games. During the bonus, a special feature will occur. That special feature is an expanding wild. Wilds can expand to occupy entire reels, leaving you with many more ways to bag impressive wins in this sequel.
It is too early to tell if Pharaoh’s Ring has what it takes to supersede Book of Ra, but from the offset the chances are good.
