Pharaoh Mysteries Slot by RealTime Gaming

Two scatter symbols, two separate bonus paths. The Sphinx handles free spins, the Coin handles Hold & Spin, and they never mix during the same trigger. Three, four, or five Sphinx icons anywhere on the 10-line grid award 10, 15, or 20 free games. Inside that round the Pharaoh wild arrives with a random multiplier stamped on it - x2, x3, or x10 - and thunder animations morph random positions into more multiplying wilds as spins run. When two multiplying wilds contribute to the same winning line, the values multiply against each other rather than adding, so a x3 and a x10 together pay at thirty times the line value. Extra Sphinx hits inside the round retrigger more spins on top.

The Coin scatter is the other half of the game. Three gold coins anywhere launch a classic Hold & Spin with the reels replaced by a coin-drop background, 3 respins on the counter, and only the coin positions able to change. Every new coin that sticks resets the respin counter back to 3. Each coin carries its own credit value, and the round ends either when three respins pass without a new coin or when the grid fills. Two jackpot tiers sit inside the coin pool - the Minor and the Major - both awarded when the corresponding jackpot coin lands during the feature. There's no Grand or Mini tier, just the two, which keeps the jackpot pursuit focused rather than ladder-style. The 50,000x line-bet ceiling comes from chaining multiplying wilds inside a long retriggered free-games run, not from the coin round.

The art sits in warm sunset register. A 5x3 grid framed by two hieroglyph-carved stone columns, palm trees on each side, and a desert horizon with pyramids glowing in purple-to-orange twilight behind the reels. The Pharaoh wild is an ornate gold-framed portrait, the Sphinx and Nefertiti are rendered as bronze-relief tablets, and the high symbols are a red-covered Book of Horus, a winged Scarab Beetle, the Eye of Horus, and a crossed Scepter and Flail. Royals take jewelled colour coding - red A, purple K, blue Q, green J, orange 10 - which breaks up what could otherwise be a very monochrome desert palette. No splash intro, no buy bonus, no ante bet, no base-game ornament beyond the wild substitution. For another RTG take on the same era and territory, Mask of the Golden Sphinx runs a different feature set through the same sphinx-and-pyramid iconography.
