About 10 Pharaohs
10 Pharaohs was released by Push Gaming in April 2025 — the 9th according to BigWinBoard, the 10th according to SlotCatalog, a one-day gap we could not settle. The game reuses the engine of 10 Flaming Bisons wholesale, released four months earlier, with an Egyptian skin in place of the Wild West.
The base grid runs 5 reels and 3 rows for 20 paylines. The Push-Up feature adds rows before the spin: 5x4 for 2.5 times the stake, 5x5 for 5 times the stake. During free spins the grid can reach 5x7 and 60 paylines. One point of honesty: the exact payline count at the 5x4 and 5x5 tiers is not published consistently from one source to the next, whereas the bison games clearly state 30 and 40. We are therefore not carrying it across by analogy.
As on 10 Flaming Bisons, the Push-Up changes the RTP, which remains a rarity in the industry. Push Gaming publishes 96.26% in the base configuration, 96.46% on 5x4 and 96.31% on 5x5. The middle tier is, once again, the best paid of the three. The gap is small — 20 cents of RTP per 100 wagered between the base and 5x4 — but it is published, verifiable, and it points the right way.
The base stake runs from 0.10 to 100. With the maximum Push-Up, a spin costs five times that, up to 500. Spec sheets that stop at "0.10 – 100" are measuring the base stake, not the amount genuinely committed.
The Pharaoh symbols carry values and pay instantly as soon as 4 of them land, on a scale running from 2x to 1,000x the stake. Four of them are fixed jackpots: Mini 15x, Minor 50x, Major 500x and Mega 5,000x. The values match the bisons exactly — same engine, same tables.
It is the ceiling that really sets this title apart. Push Gaming announces 10,663.6x, and that line needs reading correctly: the studio publishes an observed win, meaning the largest payout ever recorded on its servers, not a theoretical maximum. It applies this convention across its whole catalogue, which is more honest than the "100,000x" claims made elsewhere, but it does make comparison with other studios awkward. The figure is still nearly double the 5,602x of 10 Flaming Bisons, and the distribution changes: the 5,000x Mega here accounts for only 47% of the maximum, against nearly 90% on the bisons. In other words, a big win on 10 Pharaohs comes from stacking several instant pharaohs on an extended grid, not from waiting on a single symbol. The game becomes an accumulation machine, and it is better for it.
Free spins trigger with 3 scarabs or more: 3 award 8 spins, 4 award 10, 5 award 12. Each locked-row meter requires 4 collected scarabs to open, and each unlocked row adds spins on a decreasing scale from +3 down to +1. The bonus buy costs 75x the stake.
One final warning. Alongside the official RTP, Push Gaming ships operator builds at 94.47% and 85.33%. The second takes the house margin to 14.67 per 100 wagered, almost four times that of the official version. Nothing flags it on the loading screen: the rate actually installed is printed in the game rules, and checking it is the first reflex to have.
