funky pharaoh slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Back to that theme, although the game is titled Funky Pharaoh, and there is quite a bit of Egyptian imagery on the reels, this slot feels very different to other games we’ve seen set during that period. It’s very bright and colourful, with a beach backdrop and golden symbols everywhere. Blueprint was obviously going for a more light-hearted take on Ancient Egypt, and what they have come up with achieves this goal well. The stacked wild features an Egyptian in a Tutankhamun face mask doing that silly dance that people often include when they create cultural content about Egypt… it’s just an enjoyable theme that should be equally attractive to players of both sexes.

With just ten fixed paylines, I was hoping to see some big numbers on the paytable, and whilst it isn’t disappointing, the reality was certainly a little less generous than I expected. The scatter symbols will pay you 50x your bet for all five, whilst the highest-paying regular symbol is the treasure chest at 25x for a full pay line of five-of-a-kind. This is followed by the three Egyptian symbols, which have payouts of 20x, 15x, and 15x, so definitely nothing huge; however, the stacked wilds on reels two through four do at least mean that it should be possible to win on many pay lines at once every now and again.

I’m not sure if the wagering options shown in the demo slot are indicative of what is available in the real money version of the game, as the range only goes from €0.10 to €2.00 a spin. Considering that this is a progressive jackpot game, you may want to bet a little more than usual, as the amount you bet will be factored into whether you hit a jackpot or not.

base game & MODIFIERS

The base game takes place on a regular 5x3 playfield, with all winning combinations except for the scatters requiring at least three matching symbols on a pay line to award a win. The main feature of the base game is the funky wild re-spins which are detailed below:

funky pharaoh slot free spins feature

There isn’t a main free spins feature in the Funky Pharaoh online slot, which seems surprising for a game by Blueprint Gaming. I wondered what the bonus buy option could be buying you with this in mind, but it turns out that it’s more of a bonus bet than a bonus buy. Blueprint has called it Spin Boost:
