FAQ

Lucky Pharaoh Max Win FAQ: Which Limit Applies?

In short: Lucky Pharaoh caps a single game at 250,000.00 or 50,000 times the total bet, whichever is lower. The two limits meet at a 5.00 bet, so at the 100.00 top bet the ceiling is 2,500x.

One line on the rules screen sets the ceiling, and it read the same at 1.00 and at 100.00. What shifts as the stake grows is which half of that line actually stops you.

Game:
Lucky Pharaoh (an online MERKUR slot built by Blueprint Gaming)
Type:
Slot game
RTP as published:
94%, printed by the game itself, with a second figure of 96.25% for Power Spins.
Max win:
250,000.00 or 50,000 times the total bet, whichever is lower, as the rules screen prints it: "The maximum win from a single game is: 250,000.00 / x50,000 total bet".

What Is Lucky Pharaoh's Max Win?

Lucky Pharaoh's max win is the lower of two limits: 250,000.00, or 50,000 times the stake. The rules screen prints it as one line: "The maximum win from a single game is: 250,000.00 / x50,000 total bet". When the client loads, the game server sends the same two values as maxWinnings="250000.00" and maxWinMultiplier="50000".

We read that line at a 1.00 bet and again at 100.00, and it didn't change by a single character. What changes with the bet is which half of it bites first.

Both halves give the same figure at exactly 5.00, because 50,000 × 5.00 = 250,000.00. Below 5.00 the multiplier binds; above it, the money figure does.

Read on ; a source can change without saying so.

Read the table from the bottom up and the headline number shrinks fast. On a 100.00 stake, the highest button, it comes to 2,500x, a twentieth of the 50,000x the rules screen prints first. We stepped through all fourteen bet buttons in the demo. 5.00 is one of them, so exactly one bet gives the same 250,000.00 from both limits.

One Base-Game Spin Tops Out at 500x

A single base-game spin peaks at 500x the stake, because the paytable counts in line bets and its biggest single result, a full screen of diamonds, is worth 5,000 of them. Every paytable figure is multiplied by the line bet, which is the total bet split across 10 fixed lines. Five diamonds on a single line pay 500 line bets, so at a 1.00 bet that is 50.00.

Printed as X5000, the full screen comes to 5,000 × 0.10 = 500.00 at a 1.00 bet: 500x, a hundredth of the ceiling.

That gap is the whole story. A single spin, however lucky, stops a hundred times short of the printed multiple.

The server backs the line-bet reading with a real payout. Three rubies on one line came back as payout="60" and winnings="6.00" at our 1.00 bet, which is 60 line bets of 0.10 and nothing bigger.

Power Spins: The Only Route Past 500x

Only Power Spins can push a result beyond 500x, because their wins can buy more spins. Any base-game win of 4x the bet or more opens the offer. The help page spells out the chain: "ANY WIN FROM POWER SPINS CAN BE USED TO BUY MORE. TOTAL WON IS COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY AFTER 5 SETS OF POWER SPINS". Every Power Spin plays four reel sets together.

The prices scale too. On a 1.00 bet, a 16.00 win was offered four Power Spins at 4.00, two at 8.00, one at 12.00 or one at 16.00. The server listed top prizes of 500.00, 1,000.00, 1,500.00 and 2,000.00 for them: 125 times each price.

One detail doesn't add up. The offer screen shows 2,000.00 above a 4.00 spin, while the server lists 500.00 for that option. The two agree only if the screen counts all four reel sets. No document we found says so.

The game publishes no odds of any of this. Our one Power Spin, bought for 4.00 out of a 6.00 win, paid nothing on all four sets. In 101 spins our best result was 16.00.

Catalogue Max Win Figures, Checked

Catalogue max win figures for Lucky Pharaoh disagree with the game and with each other. We saved two listings on and set them against the rules screen:

SourceWhat it printsWhat the game printsWhere it goes wrong
slotstemple"Max-win 100,000x" and "x250,000", on one page50,000x or 250,000.00matches neither limit
jokerstar.de"5.000x Einsatz (Vollbild Diamanten)"5,000 line bets, so 500xten times too high

We do not recommend quoting either figure.

Slotstemple can't even agree with itself. Its data box says 100,000x; its FAQ, a few hundred words lower, says x250,000.

The jokerstar.de figure is the instructive one. It sits in a comparison table on the casino's Lucky Pharaoh Wild page, given for both games, and it matches the paytable's X5000 exactly, as if that figure were a multiple of the whole stake rather than of the 0.10 line bet.

Gaps in the Rules Screen

The rules screen is honest about the cap and silent on almost everything around it. Three gaps stand out, plus one consequence of the arithmetic:

Lucky Pharaoh demo at 1,000.00 credits with no currency
The demo before our first spin on : 1,000.00 credits, a 1.00 bet, and no currency named on screen. Source: our own screenshot.

A bigger bet buys a bigger money figure only up to 5.00; past it, the money cap stays at 250,000.00 and only the stake grows.

So the 250,000.00 is a bare number. What a real-money copy counts it in is something the free demo cannot show, and nothing in our 101 spins came close to testing the cap itself.

What Else Do Readers Ask?

People ask whether 50,000x is real, whether one spin can reach it and why catalogues print other numbers. The answers rest on the rules screen at two bets and the server's own limit values.

What does "x50,000 total bet" mean?

"x50,000 total bet" means 50,000 times the stake per spin, not per line: 50,000.00 at the 1.00 default and 10,000.00 at the 0.20 minimum.

Which bet makes 250,000.00 the binding limit?

The 250,000.00 money figure binds from a 5.00 bet upward, since 50,000 × 5.00 = 250,000.00; at the highest stake that money cap equals 2,500x.

Where is the cap printed in the game?

The cap sits on the game rules screen, one line above the two RTP figures, and the demo showed it unchanged at both bets we read, 1.00 and 100.00.

Does Lucky Pharaoh have a jackpot?

No, the game carries no jackpot, fixed or progressive; its prizes are paytable lines, the X5000 full screen and whatever Power Spins pay.

What line bet applies at a 100.00 stake?

The line bet at 100.00 is 10.00, the total split across ten fixed lines, and the rules screen shows it above an unchanged limit line.

How do we check the ceiling?

We read the rules screen at 1.00 and 100.00, logged the server's maxWinnings and maxWinMultiplier values and stepped through all 14 bets in the demo.
