Amazing Pharaoh

Amazing Pharaoh Slot Review

A pharaoh in a blue-and-gold nemes leans in from the left of a torchlit temple chamber, urns at his feet spilling coins across the sand. Neko Games have built this game like a tomb that keeps asking for tribute: nearly a quarter of its return only reaches you if you keep paying for extra balls after the initial draw. That’s a bolder design than the gilded walls suggest, and it makes Amazing Pharaoh a game about saying yes or no rather than watching reels.

It’s a 90-ball video bingo game with four fifteen-number tickets, thirty balls drawn and up to twelve more available to buy, running at 95.00% RTP with high volatility, stakes from 0.05 to 40.00 per ticket and a top prize of 10,000x through the Amazing jackpot. Players who know the studio’s Don Hidalgo Ultra Link&Win or Lucky Coelho Jackpot Fortunes will recognise the shape; Hot Fireballs Link&Win covers similar ground.

Base Game & Features

This is bingo, not spinning reels. Each ticket carries fifteen numbers from a pool of 1 to 90, and you can enable up to four per game, with all four active by default. Total bet is the per-ticket stake multiplied by the tickets you’ve enabled. Thirty balls are then drawn and marked off automatically.

You can swap the numbers on any ticket for a fresh random set before playing, and no numbers repeat between enabled tickets. Disabling a ticket is a single click on the “x” at its top corner, which trims the total bet but also takes that card out of the pattern hunt. Four play speeds are on offer: Slow, Normal, Fast and Instant Play. None of them changes the outcome of the draw.

Autoplay runs a set number of consecutive games without further input, and you can stop it at any time. The settings are where this game shows its bingo-format thinking, because the options go beyond the usual spin count.

• Rounds to Play: the number of consecutive games
• Buy all Extra Balls: on or off, off by default
• Bet per Ticket and Tickets: stake and which cards are enabled
• Single Win Limit: stops autoplay at or above a chosen win
• Total Loss Limit: stops autoplay once the balance drops by a set amount

Leaving Buy all Extra Balls off means the game pauses at each buy decision and leaves the choice to you. With it on, every offered ball is purchased automatically up to the twelve-ball limit, which turns autoplay into a fully hands-off run at the cost of committing to every near-miss.

Prizes depend on the patterns you complete on each ticket once the balls are settled. Completely new patterns can each pay out, but a pattern built on top of an existing one pays only the new, more valuable shape. Everything is collected at the end of the round.

The Wild Ball can appear during the extra ball stage, and it lets you pick any number on an enabled ticket. If you don’t choose, the game takes the candidate that awards the higher prize. It’s a small mercy in a stage built on one-number misses.

The Extra Ball Stage

After the thirty balls, the extra ball stage opens if any enabled ticket needs just one more number to complete a pattern worth 8x or more. Extra balls are then offered up to twelve times before the game ends itself. Each one costs extra, quoted live at the button.

• Extra ball price: 0.54 shown at a total bet of 4.36
• Maximum extra balls per round: twelve
• Extra Ball Stage RTP: from 88.96% to 95.01%
• Initial Draw RTP: 80.49%

That split matters. The initial draw alone returns 80.49%, and the full 95.00% total is only available across the extra ball stage, so a meaningful part of the return rides on decisions to buy. The price of an extra ball tells you nothing about its chances.

If no winning pattern lands and no candidate worth 8x or higher is available, the round simply ends. The stage only opens for genuine near-misses, which keeps the buy offers from piling up on dead tickets.

Amazing Pharaoh Bonus Features & Free Spins

Amazing Jackpots Feature

All four tickets must be enabled for this one. Every ball can carry a Golden scarab, collected in the Jackpot Panel at the top of the screen. The feature triggers when six scarabs are banked.

Scarabs arrive on any ball, including the ones you buy in the extra ball stage, so a round that’s already paying out can quietly fill the panel at the same time. Inside, you face twelve arks: six hide scarabs and six are empty. You get six picks, with extra free picks possible at random. How many scarabs you uncover by the end decides the prize.

• 6 scarabs: Amazing jackpot, 10,000x
• 5 scarabs: Mega jackpot, 2 000x
• 4 scarabs: Grand jackpot, 500x
• 3 scarabs: Major jackpot, 250x
• 2 scarabs: Minor jackpot, 100x
• 1 scarab: Mini jackpot, 50x

The ladder is steep. Every prize down to the Mini is a stake multiple, and six correct picks out of a possible six is what the top of it asks for.

Free Rounds

Four different prize patterns trigger free rounds. Patterns worth 750x award ten free rounds, and patterns worth 400x award five. The triggering ticket moves to the centre of the screen and the feature plays on that ticket alone, with the other cards sitting out the entire run.

Inside the feature, completing any pattern worth 8x or less adds one extra free round, up to 36 in a single feature. The feature can also award up to five extra balls at random. That combination is what gives the round its ceiling: more rounds mean more patterns, and more patterns mean more chances at the additions that keep it going.

Winnings are paid on the pattern completed on that ticket once all the balls are drawn, same as the base game. The small patterns aren’t dead weight here; they’re the fuel that keeps the round alive.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7.1/10

Playing this is mostly a string of held breaths: thirty balls land, a ticket sits one number short, and the pharaoh holds out another ball at a price. That pause, the choice to pay or walk, is the reason anyone picks this over a spinning reel game, and the scarab panel quietly stacking behind every draw gives even dull rounds something to watch.

The pick game at the end of the jackpot run is the best thing here because it hands you the outcome instead of rolling it. The weakest part is that the buy decisions never carry information, so twelve of them can land like guesswork.

This is for players who like weighing a buy mid-round and don’t mind a slow burn; reel-spinners after constant motion will find it a slog. The temple rewards the patient.
