ABOUT PYRAMID PAYS
iSoftBet, as a well-known game provider, has again managed to reveal a historical, and at the same time modern slot. Naturally, Pyramid Pays has a very much seen concept similar to Book of Dead by Play’n Go but still manages to surprise with its bonus features. With 5 reels and 243 paylines it’s a classic game that won’t make you regret playing it.
Its RTP is 96%, while the volatility is medium to high. While considering the maximum and minimum bets of £0.30 up to £30 it’s above the standard from other games. Its maximum win, standing at 3,840x your wager, gives you a fair amount to fill up your wallet.
THEMES, SYMBOLS, AND PAYTABLE
Of course, it’s an ancient Egyptian theme but not just with its scorching deserts. In the background, you can see a pyramid, a river, and what seems to look like an oasis. Luckily, what your eyes glimpse at is not a mirage.
Lower-valued symbols are the typical card icons from 9 to A, and, expectedly, the A has the most payouts among them. Whilst the higher-paying symbols are Ankhs, scarabs, Eyes of Horus, statues of cats, and last but not least, Pharaohs.
RTP, VARIANCE, AND PAYOUTS
Pyramid Pays RTP is at a point-blank average of 96%. Regarding its hit frequency being at 31.1%, players will receive a winning combination on almost every third spin. This slot’s variance is in between medium and high.
As for the payouts, to snatch one you’ll need to land on 3 of the same symbols. For the highest paying symbol, the Pharaoh, when you land on all 5 reels you’ll get a hold of a payout of 15x your wager. When betting on the maximum coin size of £30 you can receive a capped £115,200!
GAMEPLAY AND FEATURES
When you enter the slot, you’ll be greeted by soundtracks with a comforting aura. Its gameplay is classic yet with a pinch of mixed-up features. You can even play it on mobile or tablet instead of the regular desktop gameplay. Its 4 bonus features really give out the feeling of potential big wins, and for further information about them just scroll down below.
PYRAMID PAYS PAYOUTS
As standard as it goes, so are the directions of the paylines which are from left to right. With 5 reels and 243 paylines it’s a sure bet you’ll land upon a winning combination. Besides the aforementioned symbols, there are Cleopatra-like wilds, pyramid scatters, and multipliers. So let’s cut to the chase and reveal the bonus features.
PYRAMID PAYS – MULTIPLIER WILDS FEATURE
For you to activate this feature, you need to land on the Cleopatra wild symbol on the middle 3 reels while attaining a winning combination. After you’ve triggered the feature, your winnings are doubled from a multiplier boost of 2x.
PYRAMID PAYS – FREE SPINS FEATURE
The pyramid scatter symbol comes into play for the activation of this bonus feature. You need to land on it in the odd number reals on a single spin to trigger it and it will award you 15 free spins. Naturally, if you hit a wild symbol in this feature you’ll get a 2x multiplier that doubles your prize. On a side note, you will need an average of 181 spins to trigger it but if you’re lucky enough you won’t have to spin that much.
PYRAMID PAYS – PYRAMID PAYS FEATURE
When you’re on the free spins feature, another scatter symbol that lands on the odd number reels will trigger this one. Following the activation, a pyramid made of 9 different parts crashes down into place and each part delivers a prize. You have to hit a button to randomly land on a part of the pyramid.
After unraveling apart, the prizes are doubled and you may land on more of them on the Free Spins Feature, but only once per segment. On the fifth reel if you land a scatter symbol with a Booster Scatter it doubles their value and you’ll receive an extra spin.
PYRAMID PAYS – ULTRA BET FEATURE
50x your total wagers will activate this feature and you’ll get 50 turbo spins. Stars are then gathered for extra prizes. You can also trigger the Free Spins Feature here. Sadly, this feature isn’t available in the UK.
OUR VERDICT
Stylish, and yet classically done. It sure is like the popular Book of Dead by Play’n Go but with more of an added pizzazz. The Pyramid Pays bonus feature is one you’ll be on the lookout for snatching some really big wins. So, attend to the Pharaoh’s calling and claim his wealth in real money.
