Pharaoh’s Power Hold And Win OverviewPharaoh’s Power Hold And Win is a five-line slot from Felix Gaming with a 96.50% RTP, a medium volatility rating and a maximum exposure of 1,500x the total bet. It was released on 26 February 2025. Those figures come from Felix Gaming’s own game page rather than from a catalogue, and the studio publishes something most do not: three RTP versions – 96.50%, 94.20% and 92.25%. The casino chooses which one it runs, so the number above is the best case, not a guarantee. The same table gives the stake range as €0.05 to €100.00. All cash figures below were read from demo play, where the bet field is not visible on screen. Inside the TempleThe reels are set between two painted stone columns in a temple interior, with a gold frame around the grid and hieroglyph friezes running along the top and bottom rails. The symbols are a jewelled scarab, an orange mask, a green mask and a cat-headed figure, above card ranks drawn as coloured glyph tiles rather than letters. The pharaoh himself is not a reel symbol in the ordinary sense – he appears full-height, gripping a spear, and fills his column entirely. The Wild Only Lands in One PlaceThe paytable states the restriction in full: This Symbol is a WILD and appears only on 2nd reel. Expand and substitutes for all symbols on that reel. Wild symbol only expand if a winning combination is possible. That last clause is worth its own line. The wild does not expand every time it lands – it expands only when doing so would complete a win. Most games with expanding wilds leave that condition unstated; this one prints it. Every one of our captures with the pharaoh in it has him on the second reel and nowhere else, exactly as described. Every Win Is Three of a KindThe paytable has a single column. There is no four-of-a-kind and no five: every symbol is priced at three, and that is the whole table. The scarab pays 42.50, the orange mask 17.00, the green mask 12.75 and the cat 8.50. The glyph ranks follow at 5.10, 4.25, 3.40 and 1.70. From the scarab to the cheapest glyph is a spread of exactly twenty-five to one. On five paylines with a three-of-a-kind table, that is a tidy, legible piece of maths – and it is the whole of the base game. The Multiplier Plate, and the Footer That Shows Its WorkingA plate on the right of the frame is headed MULTIPLIER and carries a value that changes every spin. Our captures catch it at x1, x2, x3, x4 and x12. And the footer prints the entire calculation, which is the best thing about this game. One capture reads LINE 1: 3 X A X 3 : 15.30 – three aces, multiplier three, fifteen thirty. The paytable says three aces pay 5.10, and 5.10 times three is 15.30. It holds every time. LINE 1: 3 X Q X 2 : 6.80 is the green glyph’s 3.40 doubled. LINE 1: 3 X Q X 12 : 40.80 is the same 3.40 twelve times over. LINE 5: 3 X K : 4.25 is the king’s price with no multiplier at all. Four separate captures, four correct sums. You can audit this game from its own footer, which almost none of the others in these batches allow. The multiplier is displayed as a hanging plaque with a cobra motif above it, matching the HOLD SYMBOL plate on the other side, so the two controls read as a pair rather than as separate widgets bolted onto the frame. The Hold SymbolA second plate, on the left of the frame, is headed HOLD SYMBOL and shows a single tile. It changes between spins: a scarab in one capture, a green glyph in another, a blue glyph in a third. When the round runs, the background turns deep red and the grid fills with that one symbol and nothing else. One capture has five blue glyphs scattered across an otherwise empty board with the multiplier at x4; another has seven green glyphs at x1. So the Hold and Win of the title is a held-symbol round: the nominated tile is the only thing that can land, and the multiplier plate applies to whatever it produces. What the Reels PaidThe base results are small and entirely consistent with the table: 4.25, 5.10, 6.80, 15.30 and 40.80 across the captures. Note what produced the largest of those. Not the scarab, not the pharaoh – the green glyph, the second-cheapest symbol on the game, multiplied twelve times. On this design the multiplier plate matters far more than which symbol lands. The held symbol is not always a premium. Two of our three hold-round captures have it set to a glyph rank – the cheapest tier on the table – which is presumably where the multiplier plate earns its keep. What 1,500x Would TakeThe studio publishes a maximum exposure of 1,500x the total bet rather than a headline max win, which is the more honest of the two formulations. With five lines and a three-of-a-kind table topping out at the scarab, reaching it needs the hold round filling the grid with the best symbol while the multiplier plate sits near its ceiling. Our best capture, at x12, reached 40.80 in cash. Who Should Play ItPharaoh’s Power Hold And Win is for players who want to be able to check the machine’s arithmetic. Printing the full line calculation in the footer, stating the wild’s reel restriction and its expansion condition, and publishing three RTP versions on the studio’s own site are all unusually open. The reservations are the RTP range itself – a casino running the 92.25% version is offering something four and a quarter points worse than the headline – and a base game of five lines and three-of-a-kind wins where the top symbol is worth 42.50 and the common one 1.70.
