Pharaohs Bigger Big Money: Crack Open Golden Egyptian Artifacts for up to 2,500x Wins

Pharaoh’s Bigger Big Money by Inspired Gaming takes the Egyptian theme and gives it a cartoon twist. Bright pyramids, cheeky mummies, and treasure chests light up the reels, while the famous Big Money Bonus steals the show. The slot comes with Fortune Spins, a Fortune Bet, and a gamble wheel, plus a top win potential of 2,500x your bet. Come take a closer look inside with me. 

The game plays on a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines, where line wins drop fairly often but stay on the small side. During my session, most combos landed every couple of spins, usually worth 0.50x to 1x my bet. 

Stacks of cash symbols helped slightly, with one sequence reaching a 7x payout even without triggering the cash feature. Symbol values range from 0.50x up to 200x your bet, but they rarely climb high enough to keep your balance steady in the base game.

The gamble feature is a wheel where you can risk your win for a double-up or a chance to access the bonus. I gave it a shot a few times, but the chance of hitting the bonus was so slim it didn’t feel worth the risk. 

Landing three or more bonus symbols is the proper way in, and once triggered, you pick from eight treasure chests until you find the start chip. This launches the free spins with a progress bar at the top and a mummy chase mechanic that determines how long the round lasts.

During free spins, wilds collect coin values and also move your character forward across the bar. Each pharaoh's wild pushes the chasing sarcophagus closer, and once it catches up, the feature ends. Collector symbols can bring their own multipliers, and I managed to get them up to 3x, which boosted my payouts. 

Still, even with over 30 spins on my first bonus, I only walked away with 17.50x returns. Later rounds gave me up to 33x payouts, showing how tough it is to unlock anything near the game’s full potential.

At the end of the bonus, you choose from three sarcophaguses, one of which might let your character escape for another chance at free spins. It’s an exciting idea, but extremely rare to land. With that, the game’s appeal lies mostly in its theme and the tension of the mummy chase, but the wins are often too modest compared to the effort it takes to trigger features.
