Rise of Pyramids

Rise of Pyramids slot review

Rise of Pyramids is a video slot from Pragmatic Play that transports players to a unique setting. The theme blends ancient Egypt with a futuristic aesthetic, showcasing the pyramids bathed in an otherworldly glow.

The slot utilizes a cluster pays mechanic on a non-standard reel layout of 3-4-5-6-5-4-3. Winning combinations are formed by landing 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels. Winning symbols are then removed, triggering a Tumble feature. New symbols fall from above, potentially creating additional wins and extending the tumble sequence.

Bonus Features:

• Tumble: As mentioned earlier, winning symbols are removed after a win, and new symbols fall in their place. This cascading effect continues for as long as new winning combinations are formed.
• Wild Symbol: The Wild Symbol is depicted as a golden key. It can substitute for all symbols except the Scatter and Money Symbol, aiding in the formation of winning clusters. Additionally, whenever the Wild Symbol participates in a Tumble, it explodes all adjacent non-winning symbols on all sides.
• Scatter Symbol: The Scatter Symbol is represented by a pyramid with the text “Scatter” inscribed upon it. Landing 4 or more Scatter Symbols triggers the Free Spins bonus round.
• Money Symbol: The Money Symbol appears as a golden treasure chest and carries cash values ranging from 0.5X to 1000X the player’s bet. Landing 4 or more Money Symbols anywhere on the reels activates the Respin Feature.
• Respin Feature: Triggered by 4 or more Money Symbols, this feature awards 3 respins. The triggering Money Symbols are locked in position throughout the respins. Only blanks and additional Money Symbols can land on the reels during this feature. Each new Money Symbol that appears locks in place and resets the respin counter to 3. The Respin Feature concludes when no respins remain, and players are awarded the total value of all Money Symbols in view.
• Free Spins: Landing 4 or more Scatter Symbols triggers the Free Spins bonus. Players receive 10 Free Spins with an additional 2 spins awarded for each Scatter Symbol exceeding the minimum of 4. The Free Spins round features a Total Multiplier that begins at 1X and increases by 1X after every Tumble. This multiplier applies to all wins throughout the Free Spins and persists for the entire duration of the feature. Players can retrigger the Free Spins by landing 4 or more Scatter Symbols during the bonus round.
• Feature Buy: Players who wish to forego the base game grind and directly access the bonus features can utilize the Feature Buy option. This option allows purchasing the Respin Feature for 30X the bet (96% RTP) or the Free Spins Feature for 80X the bet (95.96% RTP).
