2. Spin the 3×3 grid in portrait mode. Wins are formed left-to-right on 5 fixed paylines.

Our Verdict

After a documented 1,000-spin test session at AUD 0.20 per spin, Code of Cairo scored 7.2/10. The game is a near-clone of other 3×3 portrait pokies from Fat Panda and PG Soft (similar studio behind the design), and brings little that's genuinely new. But for what it is — a casual mobile pokie with an immediately understandable mechanic — it works well.

The stacked respin mechanic is the heart of the game. Two full reels of matching symbols (say two Pharaoh stacks) triggers respins where only Pharaohs and blanks can land on the remaining reel. Each respin resets when a new matching symbol lands. Once the third stack completes, a multiplier wheel spins up — outcomes range from x1 to x20.

The 1,500x max win cap is the game's biggest limitation. Even with a top Pharaoh stack (25x per line × 5 lines = 125x) hitting the x20 wheel slot, you're looking at 2,500x maximum — which the cap then clips back to 1,500x. So the ceiling is reached rarely but predictably.

This is not a pokie for variance hunters or feature-heavy players. It's a clean, simple title for casual mobile sessions, great for short bursts and learning the genre. Just don't expect anything memorable.

⚠️ Pragmatic Play licenses 96.51%, 95.50% and 94.51% versions. Always check the in-game info panel.

Tips & Strategy

• Stick to single-bet sizes — the game has medium volatility so bet sizing has minimal strategic edge
• Pyramid wilds are your friend — they cover entire reels and can complete two-stack triggers automatically
• The x20 wheel slot is the only path to the 1,500x cap — but it lands roughly 1 in 6 wheel spins
• Premium symbol stacks (Pharaoh 25x line, Scarab 15x line) are far more valuable than royal stacks — value plays
• Low-stake mobile sessions are this pokie's sweet spot — keep individual spins under AUD 1
• The 3×3 portrait layout is purpose-built for one-handed mobile play
• Avoid grey-market 94.51% RTP versions
• Demo first — but expect to learn the mechanic in under 20 spins
