Pharaoh’s Gaze DoubleMax

Pharaoh's Gaze DoubleMax: Slot Overview (Bang Bang Games)

Bang Bang Games heads back to Ancient Egypt with Pharaoh's Gaze DoubleMax, a slot built around a DoubleMax multiplier mechanic that climbs with every consecutive win during a spin sequence. It's a format the studio has worked with before to good effect, and this Egyptian-themed dressing gives it a suitably dramatic backdrop, adding its own Pharaoh's Gaze twist on top of the core mechanic.

The presentation mixes in-theme Egyptian visuals with a stern, sovereign-looking pharaoh watching over the reels, set within a stone-blocked, torch-lit chamber flanked by a couple of guardian statues. The soundtrack fuses Ancient Egyptian-style instrumentation with an energetic rock backing track that ramps up further once free spins kick in, giving the bonus round a genuinely different feel from the base game.

Structurally, Pharaoh's Gaze DoubleMax runs on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 20 paylines, rated high volatility with an RTP of 96.1% and a hit frequency of 23.64%. Stakes run from 20p up to $/€50 per spin, and players can opt into a Bonus Boost that increases the stake by 25% while doubling the chance of triggering free spins — a worthwhile trade for anyone specifically chasing the bonus round, since the DoubleMax multiplier doesn't reset once free spins begin.

The paytable splits into J through Ace card ranks as the low-value symbols, worth 1x the stake for a five-symbol line, and three Ancient Egyptian god representations plus a throne symbol as the four premiums, paying between 2x and 5x the stake for a full line. On top of the regular pay symbols, there's a dedicated bonus symbol and wild in play to round out the winning combinations.

With high volatility and a 15,000x maximum win, Pharaoh's Gaze DoubleMax rewards players willing to sit through some quieter stretches for the chance at a properly escalating multiplier chain — the 23.64% hit frequency keeps things ticking over reasonably often along the way, even if the biggest results only show up once the DoubleMax multiplier has had room to build.

Between the dramatic presentation, the energetic soundtrack shift during free spins, and a multiplier mechanic that only ever grows during a winning run, this is a strong, well-built take on the Ancient Egypt genre from Bang Bang Games. The free demo at johnessyslots is well worth trying to see the DoubleMax multiplier and Bonus Boost option in action before playing with real stakes.
