Pharaoh’s Fortune free spins are worth just under face value on average: 100 casino spins at 10p give £10 of play and return about £9.65 at IGT’s top 96.52% RTP. The game’s own free spins round, a pick stage followed by spins on a 20-line reel set, is a separate feature you reach by landing bonus symbols.
RTP is up to 96.52%, so 10p spins average about 9.65p back each at the top setting; lower versions exist.
Max win is 10,000x the stake: £1,000 on a 10p spin, before any offer cap.
In the free spins round the game switches from 15 paylines to 20.
Our partners don't name Pharaoh’s Fortune for their spins; PlayOJO's 80 spins are on Big Bass Bonanza.
18+, terms apply; bonus wagering in Great Britain is capped at 10x since 19 January 2026.

Two kinds of Pharaoh’s Fortune free spins
IGT released Pharaoh’s Fortune in 2006, making it one of the older video slots still discussed today. Searches for Pharaoh’s Fortune free spins split into two groups. Some people want to know what casino spins on the game are worth and what the offer terms mean. Others want to know how the slot's own bonus round works. This page answers both, starting with the money.
One point applies throughout: casino spins and in-game spins are not the same. A casino offer gives you rounds at a fixed stake under its own terms. The game's free spins are a feature you may land during any round, paid or promotional. Our free spins hub explains every offer type in more depth.
Pharaoh’s Fortune RTP: what “up to 96.52%” means
The RTP is published as up to 96.52%, which tells you that versions with a lower return exist and casinos choose which to run. At the top setting, the house edge is 3.48%. The version in use is shown in the game's information screen, and since it changes the value of every spin, it is the first thing to check.

Averages only hold over a huge number of spins. Our explainer on RTP information rules covers what UK casinos must publish, and the RTP glossary entry explains the measure.
Pharaoh’s Fortune max win on a 10p spin
The game lists a maximum win of 10,000x the stake. On a 10p casino spin, that is £1,000; on a £1 paid spin, £10,000. Results near the top are extremely rare. If a casino spin offer caps winnings, the cap applies first, and it must be stated in the terms. Our free spins max win page explains how caps are worded.
How to trigger free spins on Pharaoh’s Fortune
Pharaoh’s Fortune is known for a two-part bonus. Landing the game's bonus symbols on a spin opens a pick stage, where you choose from a wall of stone blocks to reveal extra free spins or a higher multiplier, until a pick ends the selection. The free spins then play on a separate reel set with 20 paylines instead of the base game's 15. The exact symbol positions, starting spins and starting multiplier are set out in the help screen.
Land the required bonus symbols on a single spin.
In the pick stage, choose blocks to add free spins or raise the multiplier.
The pick stage ends when the stopping symbol is revealed.
Free spins play on the bonus reel set with 20 paylines at the multiplier you've built.
Winnings from the round are added to your balance when it ends.
The picks look like a choice, but the outcome is decided by the game's random number generator; picking a different block doesn't improve your odds. Third-party listings that quote how often the bonus lands aren't based on published developer figures.
If a casino spin lands the bonus, the round normally plays at the casino spin's stake. Read can free spins trigger the bonus round for how such wins are treated.
15 paylines in the base game, 20 in the free spins
The extra five lines in the free spins round give more ways for symbols to line up, which is part of why the feature carries much of the game's value. For anyone weighing up a casino offer, though, the extra lines don't change the long-run return: the published RTP already includes everything the free spins round pays. Over 100 casino spins, you would still expect about £9.65 on average at the top setting.
Pharaoh’s Fortune free spins no wagering vs 10x wagering
If 100 spins return the average £9.65, no-wagering terms let you withdraw it. Under 10x wagering, you'd stake £96.50 before it converts; at a 3.48% house edge, that costs about £3.36 on average and leaves around £6.29 in expected value.
Pharaoh’s Fortune spin winnings under different wagering
None of our partners offers Pharaoh’s Fortune free spins no deposit; none has a no-deposit bonus. Elsewhere, such offers are rare at UK-licensed casinos and usually come with small spin counts and a winnings cap. You also need to complete age and identity checks before any play. Our no deposit bonus guide explains how to judge one.

Where to use free spins similar to Pharaoh’s Fortune free spins
None of our partners lists Pharaoh’s Fortune as its spins game. The closest alternatives are wager-free spin offers on their own named games.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Pharaoh’s Fortune RTP?
It is published as up to 96.52%, which means the top version returns about £96.52 per £100 staked over the long run, with a 3.48% house edge. Lower-RTP versions exist, and the casino chooses which to run, so check the game's information screen before using spins. The figure includes the free spins round. Our house edge entry explains how the cost of play is worked out.
How do you trigger free spins on Pharaoh’s Fortune?
Land the game's bonus symbols on a single spin to open a pick stage, where you reveal extra free spins or multiplier increases until a stopping pick ends it. The spins then play on a 20-line reel set. The help screen gives the exact symbol positions and starting values for the version you're playing. You can't buy the feature at UK casinos. See how free spins work.
How many paylines does Pharaoh’s Fortune have?
The base game uses 15 paylines on a 5 × 3 layout, and the free spins round switches to a separate reel set with 20. The extra lines are part of why the bonus carries much of the game's value, but they don't change the overall RTP, which already accounts for everything the round pays. A casino spin at 10p is still £10 of play per 100 spins. Our Egyptian slots page compares layouts.
What are 100 Pharaoh’s Fortune free spins worth?
At 10p each, 100 spins are £10 of play with an average return of about £9.65 at the top 96.52% RTP; a lower version would return a little less. Medium volatility means many runs land within a moderate range of that average, but outcomes still vary. With 10x wagering, expected value falls to about £6.29. Compare real offers on our 100 free spins page.
Can I get Pharaoh’s Fortune free spins with no deposit?
Not from our partners, none of which runs a no-deposit bonus. Where other UK casinos offer no-deposit spins, they tend to be few, limited to a single game and capped. Age and identity checks apply before you can play anything. Check the selected games list, cap and expiry in the terms. Our free spins on registration page explains how sign-up spins usually work.
Does picking different blocks change what I win?
No. The pick stage feels like a choice, but the result is determined by the game's random number generator, so no block is a better pick than another. It's a presentation feature rather than a skill element. Advice claiming a picking pattern improves returns isn't reliable. Bonuses and features never change a game's odds. The can you lose money with free spins page covers related myths.
Do Pharaoh’s Fortune free spins have wagering?
That depends on the casino offer. No-wagering spins pay cash you can withdraw; wagering spins pay bonus money that must be staked up to 10x before withdrawal, the UK maximum since 19 January 2026. Our three partner spin offers are wager-free, though none names Pharaoh’s Fortune as its game. The no wagering vs low wagering comparison explains the difference in value.
What is the Pharaoh’s Fortune max win?
The listed maximum is 10,000x the stake, which is £1,000 on a 10p spin and £10,000 on a £1 spin. Wins of that size are extremely rare. A casino spin offer can impose a lower cap on winnings, and that cap applies first. Look for a maximum win or conversion line in the terms. The max cashout glossary entry shows how caps are usually worded.
Is Pharaoh’s Fortune the same as Cleopatra?
No, though both are Egyptian-themed IGT slots. Cleopatra uses 20 paylines, a 95.02% RTP and medium volatility, while Pharaoh’s Fortune uses 15 lines in the base game, 20 in free spins, and an RTP of up to 96.52%. On 100 spins at 10p, that is an average of £9.50 against £9.65. See Cleopatra free spins and the IGT free spins guide.
