10 Pharaohs Slot Review
Brave the Pharaoh’s tomb and unveil big wins in Push Gaming’s latest release, 10 Pharaohs!
Inspired by another of their hit titles, 10 Swords, Push Gaming brings a fresh twist to gameplay while retaining the ever-popular Scatter Pays feature. 10 Pharaohs introduces a nifty Jackpot Feature, giving more to players and ramping up the excitement.
Push Gaming has set the two titles apart by including progressive levels in the bonus game. The bigger the reel set, the higher the chances of landing Pharaoh symbols. Another interesting element in 10 Pharaohs is the Push-Up Mods, which allow players to expand the reel set for a fixed price.

Base Game & Features
Kitted with 5 reels and 3 rows, 10 Pharaohs is a Medium Volatility slot with up to 60 fixed pay lines and varying bet sizes between £.€0.10 and £.€100 per spin. Other statistics of note include an overall RTP of 96.26% and a generous max win cap of 10,663x your bet.
Winning combinations are valued between 0.2x and 30x your bet when 3 or more matching symbols land from left to right, starting from reel 1. Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except Scarab, Pharaoh, and Jackpot symbols.
Pharaoh & Jackpot Symbols
In the base game and Free Spins mode, special Pharaoh symbols can appear on the reels. These symbols are linked to the 7 Cash Prizes to the left of the main reel set. When 4+ Pharaoh symbols hit, they award a fixed Cash Prize from the list of values:
- 4 Pharaohs: Award 2x your bet
- 5 Pharaohs: Award 5x your bet
- 6 Pharaohs: Award 10x your bet
- 7 Pharaohs: Award 25x your bet
- 8 Pharaohs: Award 100x your bet
- 9 Pharaohs: Award 500x your bet
- 10 Pharaohs: Award 1,000x your bet
In addition to regular Pharaoh symbols, Push Gaming has included 4 Jackpot Pharoah symbols, each fixed to a corresponding Jackpot Prize:
- Mini: Awards 15x your bet
- Minor: Awards 50x your bet
- Major: Awards 500x your bet
- Mega: Awards 5,000x your bet
When a Jackpot Pharaoh lands alongside at least 3 regular Pharaoh symbols, its respective Jackpot Prize is instantly awarded. Each Jackpot Pharaoh contributes towards all regular Pharaoh’s instant prize wins.

Bonus Buy
Non-UK players can instantly access the Free Spins round for an additional 75x their current bet.
Free Spins
Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scarab Scatters in the base game triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 8, 10, and 12 Free Spins respectively.
During Free Spins, each Scarab Scatter that appears in view will contribute towards filling the locked rows. Each locked row requires 4 Scarab Scatter collections. When a row is unlocked, it will award additional Free Spins:
- 1st Row: Awards +3 Free Spins
- 2nd Row: Awards +2 Free Spins
- 3rd Row: Awards +1 Free Spin
The Free Spins round retains the same mannerisms as the base game, including the collection of Pharaoh and Jackpot Prizes.
Our Verdict
10 Pharaohs certainly has the Push Gaming appeal, but it doesn’t quite resonate with other innovative titles in their portfolio. Games like Razor Shark and Jammin’ Jars stand out for their clever features and functions, separating them from the bulk of mediocre titles that utilise the same features and mechanics, time and time again.
As expected, we found strong similarities between this game and 10 Swords, sprinkled with a certain element from Razor Ways in the Free Spins round. The inclusion of Jackpot Prizes gives 10 Pharaohs an edge that 10 Swords didn’t necessarily have. If we’re honest, 10 Swords was more like a dull blade than a sharp and powerful weapon, but Push Gaming has quickly made up for this here.
10 Pharaohs focuses on the persistence of Pharoah and Jackpot Pharoah symbols. As expected, the smaller Cash Prizes are more obtainable than the bigger cash prizes, which enables you to keep your balance topped up so you can continue grinding for the bigger values.
In Free Spins, there are opportunities to expand the size of the reels by landing Scarab Scatters throughout spins. With the extra rows active, you will have increased chances of landing regular Pharoah and Jackpot Pharaoh symbols, as well as more Scarab Scatters needed to unlock additional rows, if applicable.
Another positive aspect of 10 Pharaohs is the max win cap of 10,663x your bet. This appealing statistic tops the likes of 10 Swords by double its capability. All in all, 10 Pharaohs is unlike your average Push Gaming slot, offering plenty of excitement and rewarding gameplay.
*10 Pharaohs is available to play across Top UK Casinos from the 9th April 2025
