Lucky Pharaoh RTP FAQ: 94% or 96.25%?

What RTP Does Lucky Pharaoh Print?

Lucky Pharaoh prints two return-to-player figures: "RTP=94%" for the base game and "Power Spins RTP=96.25%" for its single feature. Both lines sit on the game rules screen of client version 1.6.0.0, and the game server repeats them as rtp="94|96.25" when the demo loads. Neither the game nor its studio publishes a volatility rating or hit rate, so this pair is the only statistic the game gives you.

We read the screen at a 1.00 bet and again at 100.00. Neither figure moved.

The second one is labelled for Power Spins on that same screen, so these are two modes of one build, not two builds.

Read on 2 Nov 2026; a source can change without saying so.

In plain terms, the base game keeps 6% of what goes in over the long run. Power Spins keep 3.75% of what goes into them. The rules screen adds one more line, "RTP is based on long-term payback and gameplay", and that's the honest caveat attached to both: a few hundred spins can land a long way from either figure.

Collecting Beats the Higher Figure

Collecting a win returns more than staking it, even though 96.25% looks like the better number. The Power Spins offer only appears after a win of 4x the bet or more. The same panel carries a COLLECT button that banks 100% of that win. A Power Spin is paid for out of the win, so the 96.25% applies to money that was already yours; on average it hands back 3.75% less than pressing COLLECT.

Here's how that looked in our own session. Four lines of sapphires paid 16.00 at a 1.00 bet. The panel opened at four Power Spins of 4.00, with dearer options of two spins at 8.00, a single spin at 12.00, or one at 16.00; any of them stakes the whole win. Collecting kept 16.00. Staking all of it at 96.25% has an expected value of 15.40, which is 0.60 less. We collected.

These are averages, though, and a single Power Spin behaves nothing like an average. Each one turns four reel sets at once, and the top prize per price option is 125 times that price. Wins can buy further spins until five sets are done. Gambling a win for that shot is a choice plenty of players will make, and we wouldn't call it foolish. It just isn't a higher return than keeping the win.

Our position, which some readers will dispute: at the offer screen, COLLECT is the better-returning button every single time. We do not recommend reading 96.25% as Lucky Pharaoh's real RTP. It describes a re-stake of a win you already hold, not the slot you sat down to play.

Which Choice Does the 94% Assume?

The rules don't say which choice at the offer the 94% assumes. It might describe a player who always collects, or a blend that includes some Power Spins. The client gives no hint either way, and no studio page exists that could settle it. We won't guess.

That gap matters less than it first seems. Whatever the 94% contains, the comparison at the offer stays the same. COLLECT returns 100% of the win; the Power Spin returns 96.25% of it on average.

One small oddity sits in the same start-up message: it lists a minimum stake of 0.10, while the client's lowest bet button is 0.20. Neither return figure depends on it.

Our 101 Spins Prove Nothing About RTP

Our 101 paid spins at 1.00 on 2 November 2026 returned 34.00 from 101.00 staked, and that tells you nothing reliable about RTP. Seven spins paid. The biggest was the 16.00. One Power Spin, bought for 4.00 out of a 6.00 win, turned four reel sets and paid nothing, and the demo balance went from 1,000.00 to 929.00.

At 94%, 101 stakes of 1.00 would hand back about 94.94 on long-run average. Our session came in at roughly a third of that. With no published volatility we can't say how unusual that is. 101 spins are simply too few to judge a return figure, and even a few thousand would be thin.

Where the RTP Screen Falls Short

The rules screen comes up short on four counts. None is a fault we measured; each is something the game simply leaves unsaid:

• no volatility rating and no hit rate, in the client or in anything the server sends;
• one 96.25% for every price at the offer, from 4.00 up to 16.00 on our sapphire win, with no split by option;
• nothing on screen sets 96.25% against COLLECT, which keeps 100% of the win, so that sum is left to the player;
• no way to tell, from the demo, which build a casino's copy runs.

So everything on this page holds for Blueprint Gaming's demo, client 1.6.0.0, and we vouch for nothing beyond it.

A reader hunting for a published volatility figure will find Lucky Pharaoh a dead end. Honestly, that's the weakest part of the whole data sheet.

Other RTP Figures That Circulate

Catalogue sites print other return figures for Lucky Pharaoh, and this build prints none of them. Whatever stake a listing ties its figure to, our rules screen read 94% at both 1.00 and 100.00.

If another page quotes a third figure, open the rules screen inside the game. The 94% and the 96.25% are printed there side by side, next to "Game version: 1.6.0.0".
