Relax Gaming has introduced Pharaoh’s Last Wish, a new online slot that draws on the enduring appeal of ancient Egypt while incorporating a structured progression system and cluster-based gameplay. The release combines expanding reels, symbol collection mechanics, and a maximum payout of up to 10,000 times the stake.

The title comes from Relax Gaming, a supplier known for earlier releases such as Money Train, Necromancer’s Gate, Glyph of Gods, and Conquer Babylon. With Pharaoh’s Last Wish, the studio revisits a historical setting frequently explored in casino games, placing players among pyramids, desert landscapes, and imagery inspired by the Nile region.

Progression System Expands the Grid

Pharaoh’s Last Wish runs on a 6×5 grid at the outset. Players form wins by landing clusters of five or more matching symbols connected anywhere on the reels. Winning combinations trigger a cascade, removing those symbols and allowing new ones to fall into place for further chances.

The game features five progression levels linked to a symbol collection meter positioned above the reels. Each level unlocks additional features once players collect a set number of winning symbols. At Level 1, reached after collecting 80 symbols, the Colossal Symbol feature becomes available, introducing oversized symbols ranging from 2×2 to 4×4 in size. Level 2 requires 100 collected symbols and activates Symbol Destroy, which removes at least five non-winning symbols to create space for cascades. Level 3 unlocks Extra Wilds after 120 symbols, placing between three and five wilds randomly on the grid. At 140 symbols, Level 4 triggers Symbol Transform, converting at least five symbols into a higher-paying type. Level 5, achieved after collecting 180 symbols, expands the grid to 6×6 and allows scatter symbols to appear on all reels.

Throughout regular play, multipliers from 2x to 100x can land on any spin. The Eye of Horus symbol carries these values, and when multiple multipliers appear in the same win, their values add together before being applied. The default return to player stands at 96.1%, with wagers ranging from $/€0.20 to $/€100. An Enhanced Spins option, available once Level 5 is unlocked, increases the stake by 50% to improve the chance of triggering Free Spins.

Free Spins and Feature Buy Option

Players can access the bonus round by landing three scatter symbols after reaching Level 5. The feature begins with 10 Free Spins and a starting multiplier of x1 on the expanded 6×6 grid. During the round, collected scatter symbols are stored. Every fourth collected scatter awards five additional Free Spins and increases the total multiplier. The multiplier progresses from x1 at Level 1 to x2 at Level 2, x5 at Level 3, and x10 at Level 4. All previously unlocked features from the base game remain active during the bonus.

For those who prefer immediate entry into the feature, a Buy option is available at 75 times the bet. This guarantees three scatter symbols and direct access to Free Spins. The RTP during the Feature Buy is listed at 96.56%.

In terms of symbol values, lower-paying icons include card ranks J through A, while premium symbols feature lotus flowers, ankhs, scarabs, a queen, and a pharaoh. When the grid expands to six rows, clusters of up to 36 matching symbols can deliver payouts between 2,000x and 10,000x the bet. Before expansion, clusters of 30 matching symbols offer smaller returns.

Tony O’Mahony, Chief Product Officer at Relax Gaming, said: “Pharaoh’s Last Wish is designed for players who enjoy feature-led gameplay and visible progression, with highly achievable big-win moments. A strong focus on progression and payoff, supported by collection mechanics and multipliers, keeps the experience engaging throughout play.”

Gabriel Pisani, Game Product Owner at Relax Gaming, added: “Pharaoh’s Last Wish takes players on an ancient Egyptian quest filled with powerups and buried treasure! The game blends a cluster pays mechanic with a progressive symbol collection system that unlocks increasingly powerful features as players progress through the levels. Colossal Symbols, Symbol Destroys, Extra Wilds, Symbol Transforms and Extra Reel Positions are thrown into the mix. Upon reaching Level 5, the reels expand and Scatter symbols come into play, bringing the chance of Free Spins to life. With multipliers able to strike at any moment and a max win of 10,000x, Pharaoh’s Last Wish keeps the adventure tight, rewarding and full of anticipation. Overall it delivers astrong progression mechanic with impactful features and a satisfying climb towards epic rewards.”

With its expanding layout, symbol-driven level system, and bonus structure tied to accumulated scatters, Pharaoh’s Last Wish builds its gameplay around steady advancement toward larger payouts within an ancient Egyptian setting.
