Pharaoh Cat Wilds are at the core of Paws of Egypt. Manage to get 1 to appear on each reel on a single spin, and you’ll activate the Hold & Spin Bonus, where you can climb the Wilds Ladder. The Hold & Spin Bonus is your best shot at the game’s 530x Max Win.
The slot has a 3x3 grid with 5 paylines, set in an ancient Egyptian temple. The premium symbols on the reels are all cats: assorted Cats as the regular symbols, and the much larger golden Pharaoh in a striped headdress as the Wild. Bets go from 0.05 to 100 per spin.
Bonus and Ladder
Hitting 3 Pharaoh Cat Wilds, 1 per reel, triggers the Hold & Spin. Here, the temple scene is replaced by a purple inner chamber, and the Wilds Ladder on the left of the grid also shows you what’s at stake. The 3 triggering Wilds stick to the grid, and each additional Pharaoh Cat Wild that arrives during the round moves you up another rung on the ladder, starting at 1x and going up to 500x if you can fill the grid.
Lives
Each Bonus begins with 3 lives (indicated by hearts above the grid). Any respin on which a new Wild doesn’t arrive will cost you a life, but each fresh Wild restores all 3 hearts. This means that a run of Pharaoh Cat Wilds can extend the round significantly.
Base Game and the Pharaoh
The Pharaoh Cat Wild can replace any of the other symbols to complete winning sequences. Base game wins pay for matching Cat or Card symbols from left to right. The Pharaoh’s main purpose is still the Bonus trigger, but it adds value in regular play as well.
