Pyramid Pays Slot Review

Pyramid Pays Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Pyramid Pays slot uses 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways to win. To form a winning combination, land 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols or wilds on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.

Bet levels range from 30p to £30 per spin. Click on the coin icon then use the + and – buttons to adjust. You can set the paytable so that payouts are shown in cash or coins. It’s down to personal preference.

The Pyramid Pays RTP is 96% which is bang on the average for a slot game. The hit frequency rate of 31.1% means that on average, you’ll land a winner on just under a third of spins.

The variance here is on the north side of medium. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d put the volatility at 6.5/10. The most you can win from a single spin here is 3,840 x your total stake.

Theme – Audio and Design Features – a stylish Egyptian treasure hunt

With an ancient Egyptian theme, there’s a lush, high definition feel to the design in the Pyramid Pays slot. With blue water and the base of a stone pyramid in the background, the reels are watched over by a pair of mighty statues.

You’ll hear the clanking of the reels as they spin as well as a very traditional soundtrack that’s an ideal match for the ancient theme. It’s simple but the design here is very impressive.

The reels are made up of A to 9 royals which appear alongside an ankh cross, scarab beetle, eye of Ra, cat god Bastet and a pharaoh’s burial mask. The pharaoh’s burial mask is the most lucrative symbol with 5 on a payline awarding 15 x your total stake.

The Egyptian Queen is the game’s wild. This replaces all the standard symbols in a winning combination and also doubles the payout. The pyramid is the scatter symbol. This can hit on the odd numbered reels only.

Pyramid Pays is available to play on all devices including desktops, tablets and mobiles. This is because iSoftBet creates all their slot games using HTML5 technology.

Pyramid Pays Bonus Features

You’ll find 4 bonus features in Pyramid Pays including multiplier wilds and free spins. There are some potentially exciting extras attached to the free spins round courtesy of the Pyramid Pays feature which can deliver even more prizes.

Multiplier Wilds feature

The wild Egyptian Queen symbol can land on the middle 3 reels only. When her majesty makes up part of a winning combination, the Multiplier Wilds feature is triggered. That payout benefits from a 2x multiplier boost and the award is doubled.

Free Spins feature

Land the pyramid scatter symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same spin to trigger the Free Spins feature. You’ll then go on to play 15 free spins. A win involving a wild will see a 2x multiplier applied to your win.

It will take 181 spins on average to activate the feature. So far, so standard.

Pyramid Pays feature

During the free spins, landing 3 more scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 triggers the Pyramid Pays feature. It also adds 1 more free spin to your total.

Once triggered, a pyramid drops down onto the screen. This is made up of 9 different segments. Each segment contains a prize. Choose a segment and you’ll win that prize (a bit like on the TV gameshow Catchphrase where the player hits the button to land on a random square).

If you uncover the highlighted segment, all the Pyramid prizes are doubled. You can land multiple Pyramid Pays prizes from a single trigger of the Free Spins feature. You can only land each prize once though.

Landing 2 standard scatter symbols alongside a Booster Scatter on reel 5 also doubles the value of all the Pyramid Prizes for the rest of the feature. 1 more free spin will also be added to your total.

Ultra Bet feature

You can activate the Ultra Bet feature which is a series of 50 turbo spins that cost 50 x your total stake. Collect stars during these spins for a chance to win extra bonus prizes. Collecting 5 stars pays 5 x stake. Collect 15 to win the big prize of 1,000 x stake. Check your progress via the meter alongside the reels.

It’s possible to trigger the free spins during Ultra Bet feature. The free spins, if won, play out when your Ultra Bet spins have been completed. This option isn’t available in the UK.

Pyramid Pays Review Summary – good bonus features spice up familiar theme

The theme in the Pyramid Pays slot might be wearily familiar but the combination of high-class design and slightly unusual extras mean that this game is a bit more interesting than you might expect.

The Pyramid Pays feature can certainly spice up a trigger of the free spins, especially if you manage to double up the value of the Pyramid Prizes. This is where the bigger wins will come from.

Saying that, Pyramid Pays doesn’t offer anything innovative or unique. It does however come with 3,840 x stake max wins which is pretty device. If you can’t get enough of all things Egyptian, this game is a slot to investigate.

Another option includes Play ‘n GO’s Book of Dead which has become the go-to slot for this theme.
