4 Secret Pyramids Slot Review

4 Secret Pyramids Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The 4 Secret Pyramids slot has 5 reels, 4 rows and 1,024 ways to win. To form a winning combination, 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols appearing in any position on adjacent reels will need to land, beginning from the leftmost reel. You need only 2 of the 2 higher value symbols to get a win though.

Bet levels vary between 20p and £15 per spin. To adjust your stake, click on the plus and minus buttons which are located above the main Spin button. There are X2 Bonus and XTRA Bonus buttons, which when activated, increase your stake further by 25% each. At the maximum level, the total bet can reach £18.75 per spin (more details on these extras below).

In the Paytable, all symbol payouts are shown in currency format. When you change your bet, the payouts adapt proportionally. It’s all very easy to understand. Outside the UK, there’s an Autoplay facility which allows up to 100 autospins with loss and single win limits.

The 4 Secret Pyramids RTP is 95% which is just below the 96% online slot game average. The bigger wins are reserved from the free spins naturally and the volatility is extremely high.

With no information yet on the hit frequency rate, the maximum payout is 55,000 x your total bet per spin. This can be won from the Golden Pyramid Free Spins feature.

Theme – travel to Egypt to discover the ancient pyramids of the Pharaohs

With an ancient Egyptian theme, the 4 Secret Pyramids slot is the sequel to 3 Secret Cities. Whilst the former has an Aztec feel, you head to the desert in order to discover 4 secret locations. There is a traditional Arabic soundtrack and the graphics are high definition. The locations represent the great Egyptian pyramids in their heyday.

Symbols on the reels are represented by A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. Higher value symbols include Ankh crosses, the Eye of Ra, jackal god Anubis, an adventuress and priestess who resembles Cleopatra. The priestess is the best paying symbol with 2, 3, 4 or 5 in combination awarding 0.5, 1.5, 3 or 5 x your total bet.

The scarab beetle is the wild symbol and substitutes for all symbols except the Free Spins scatters. Furthermore, there are 4 different types of scatters which appear in the location you’re playing in (more details below).

4 Secret Pyramids Mobile

With 4 Secret Pyramids created with HTML5 technology, it’s available to play on mobile, tablet, laptop and PC devices. However, if you play slots on your mobile/smartphone device, you’re in luck. 4ThePlayer offer you a Classic Mode and Big Reel Portrait Mode if playing on your smartphone. The latter option sees the reels occupy up to 80% of the screen. The reels appear stacked on top of each other with the reels spinning right to left and paying top to bottom. This functionality is available on all 4ThePlayer slots.

4 Secret Pyramids Bonus Features

The 4 Secret Pyramids slot has 5 bonus features. Firstly there is the BONUS↑UP feature where you get more lucrative versions of the free spins the more you play. It’s all about the Pyramid Free Spins Bonus feature where there are stacked symbols, multipliers and wins up to 55,000 x bet per free spin.

BONUS↑UP feature

The game uses the BONUS↑UP feature just like 3 Secret Cities. It means that the free spins feature you’ll play improves the more you play 4 Secret Pyramids. Above the reels, you’ll see where you are on the map. The 4 locations include:

• Desert Pyramid
• Canyon Pyramid
• Lake Pyramid
• Golden Pyramid

Landing the Free Spins scatter on reels 1 and 3 only will see you pick from the scatters. They will reveal a cash prize of up to 50 x your total bet or progression to the next location. When you progress, you move 1 dot on the map.

Depending on your position on the map, you may be able to choose your next location or it will be chosen randomly. There are shortcuts and gamble options which let you work your way up the trail faster. You can opt for the Path of Many Wins or travel the Path of Big Wins.

After you play a Free Spins feature, you will return to the Desert Pyramid location which offers you the best chance of triggering the feature. The good news is that BONUS↑UP progress is saved between sessions. The RTP is the same for all locations too.

Pyramid Free Spins Bonus feature

The Pyramid Free Spins Bonus feature is triggered when landing the Free Spins scatter simultaneously on reels 1, 3 and 5 in the base game. You then head to the Pyramid Pick where you choose 1 block from every row (starting at the bottom). Each block will reveal:

• Free Spins
• Multiplier
• Super Stacked Symbol
• X: picks end and the free spins begin

The higher up you go, the bigger the prizes available in the Pyramid Pick. This also depends on how you fare from the BONUS↑UP feature. Here’s what each Pyramid offers you as well as the max number of free spins, multiplier and max win per free spin:

Like in 3 Secret Cities, landing a Free Spins scatter on reels 1 and 3 will award 5 to 10 extra free spins. This, in theory, could give you unlimited free spins.

Finally, 4ThePlayer has 2 mini features which makes it easier to trigger the free spins and doubles your outcome when you play them. You can play with 1 or both extra bets on every spin. Activating either or both will increase your total bet though:

Buy feature

Outside of the UK, there is a Buy feature. With 4 options, you can buy your way into the Pyramid Free Spins Bonus feature with the Desert, Canyon, Lake or Golden locations. Here is the maximum number or free spins and multiplier as well as the max win per free spin and cost per option:

Unlike 3 Secret Cities, the RTP will not increase if you use the Buy feature. Finally, your BONUS↑UP progress won’t be affected either.

4 Secret Pyramids Review Summary – 3 Secret Cities on steroids

The 4 Secret Pyramids slot is quite similar to 3 Secret Cities but 4ThePlayer have taken things up a notch. Similarly, the BONUS↑UP mechanic rewards you the more you play with your progress saved between sessions.

The key is to play the free spins in the Golden Pyramid location as you can benefit from more free spins, a multiplier up to 15x and max wins of 55,000 x bet per free spin.

Visually you may be thinking it’s another ancient Egyptian themed slot but the 4 locations keep things fresh and exciting. The graphics are superb as always from 4ThePlayer which helps. Also, the Big Reel Portrait Mode for mobile players is a massive plus that is often overlooked.

I really like the Pyramid Pick element which does remind me of IGT’s Pharaoh’s Fortune. Getting a high value super stacked symbol and a big multiplier will result in the biggest wins naturally. You will also notice some similarities in Push Gaming’s Dinopolis where you choose from playing cards in the Dino Bonus feature. A final option is Big Time Gaming’s Lil’ Devil which uses a Heartstopper token system.

In summary, 4 Secret Pyramids is a great ancient Egyptian slot with high win potential and a navigating trek through the 4 locations for those top payouts. 3 Secret Cities offers a higher RTP rate (96.5% vs 95%) but the max win is lower (50,000 x bet vs 55,000 x bet).
