Le Pharaoh on 1xBet Algeria — the raccoon in Egypt from Hacksaw Gaming

Le Pharaoh™ by Hacksaw Gaming is the direct sequel to Le Bandit — the 2023 hit that launched the studio's "Le" series. Smokey, the burglar raccoon, leaves Paris for the Egypt of the pyramids, disguised as a pharaoh to run his schemes among palm trees and sarcophagi. Released on September 26, 2024, the slot drops the original's cluster pays in favor of a Sticky Re-Drops system on a 6×5 grid with 19 paylines, and raises the max ceiling to 15,000x stake — 50% more than Le Bandit. With its medium volatility (3/5) and high 29.21% hit frequency, it's one of Hacksaw Gaming's most accessible slots, far from the studio's usual extreme maths models. The slot loads directly from the online slots library, no installation needed.

Sticky Re-Drops, Golden Riches and the choice between five bonuses

Le Pharaoh™ runs on a 6-reel × 5-row grid with 19 fixed paylines. Wins form by aligning matching symbols on active lines starting from the left. The high symbols reprise cartoon-style Egyptian imagery — Smokey as pharaoh, scarabs, hourglasses and amulets — rounded out by classic characters for low values. The Wild substitutes for all paying symbols.

The central mechanic is the Sticky Re-Drop. With each winning combination, the involved symbols lock in place and become Golden Squares, while the remaining positions spin again. As long as new wins form or existing wins extend, the re-drops continue. A modest three-symbol win can thus grow progressively until it covers the entire line.

The Rainbow symbol triggers the Golden Riches feature. At the end of the re-drop sequence, if a Rainbow is present, all accumulated Golden Squares reveal themselves: they can contain coins (up to 500x stake each), Pots of Gold that collect the values of visible coins, and multiplier clovers. The green clover multiplies adjacent Golden Squares up to x20, while the golden clover multiplies all visible Golden Squares at once. It's the coins + pots + clovers combination that produces the slot's big wins.

The bonus structure is unusual: Le Pharaoh™ lets the player choose their mode. Three scatters open a Bonus Choice menu between Luck of the Pharaoh (10 free spins where Golden Squares stay highlighted until the end of the bonus) and Lost Treasures (a hold & win mode with 3 respins that reset each time a symbol lands, with sticky coins, Pots of Gold and stone tablets that add values). Four scatters open the Super versions of both modes (12 free spins, higher-value coins, guaranteed clover). Five scatters trigger the ultimate Rainbow Over The Pyramids mode: 12 free spins with a guaranteed Rainbow on every spin — this mode cannot be bought. Retrigger works in the free spins modes: 2 scatters add 2 spins, 3 scatters add 4.

The default RTP is 96.18% according to Hacksaw Gaming (96.21% depending on the chosen bonus), with versions at 94.33%, 92.26% and 88.24% by operator. Volatility is medium (3/5 on the studio's scale) and the maximum win reaches 15,000x stake in all modes.

From Algeria, Le Pharaoh™ runs cleanly in-browser and through the 1xBet mobile app. The interface switches between French, English and Arabic. To compare with other Hacksaw Gaming slots on the platform, the providers directory groups the full catalog on the platform.

Deposit methods from Algeria

Several local and international channels let Algerian players fund their account before launching Le Pharaoh™. BaridiMob remains the most direct DZD deposit route via Algérie Poste, outside the standard banking circuit. Crypto wallets — USDT on Tron or BSC, BinancePay, RedotPay — process transactions within minutes and bypass the card-level restrictions sometimes applied to domestic plastic. Skrill 1-Tap, Neteller and MoneyGo USD round out the international e-wallet options. A player account needs to be opened from the sign-up page first.

Crypto and e-wallet deposits hit the balance within minutes, while BaridiMob transfers may take one to two hours depending on the issuing branch. The medium volatility of Le Pharaoh™ makes it a slot suited to regular sessions — the 29.21% hit frequency maintains activity, and the Sticky Re-Drops regularly turn small wins into extended ones. The organic bonus stays relatively rare, though, and the Feature Buy options (from 3x to 250x stake) accelerate access to the bonus modes for players with the corresponding budget.

Mobile play from Algeria

Le Pharaoh™ was optimized for mobile by Hacksaw Gaming, and the 6×5 grid stays readable in portrait. The Egyptian cartoon style and Smokey's animations keep their charm even on entry-level smartphones. The iOS download page serves the official app directly, skipping the App Store route, and the Android APK offers full feature parity. Registered users just sign in to their account and head to the casino games hub to find the slot among the featured Hacksaw Gaming titles.
