Pyramids Deluxe

It’s quite amazing how the ancient Egyptians managed to erect the Pyramids with the kind of technology they had at their disposal back then. Imagine piecing together a skyscraper with no electricity. Well, I couldn’t even imagine having breakfast without electricity! 

Those ancient Egyptians surely had something special, and those Pyramids of theirs are surely still hiding some more undiscovered treasures. Some of them might become apparent in Pyramids Deluxe, an online slot promises to be filled with riches. 

Theme

Can you guess where the reels are placed in Pyramids Deluxe? Do I hear you say “desert” and “pyramids”? That’s right, the game is taking place right in the middle of the desert and right in front of a cluster of three pyramids. 

Unfortunately, the reels are fully opaque and that does ruin the whole picture a bit, but the symbols all have bright colours and that matches well with the sun-bathed background. The colour theme changes when special features kick in, but we’ll know more about those shortly. 

Betting Options and Functions

The game has 5 reels and 3 rows, with 10 paylines. The low-paying symbols are the usual card icons from Ace to ten, while the high-value items include traditional scarabs and the Sphinx and the Pyramid. 

This product has low to medium volatility, so you should expect to get winning combinations quite often, even though the rewards might be a bit on the low side. 

Features

Your visit to the ancient Pyramids will get a lot more exciting when the special features come about, let’s see what can happen: 

• Wild

The Sphinx symbol is the Wild in this game and it can replace any other icon, except the Scatter. In this case, the Pyramid symbol is the Scatter, and it is the most powerful item in this slot. 

• Free Spins

When you get at least three Pyramids anywhere on the screen you will be awarded a Free Spins session with 10 free rolls. During the free spins round the Pyramids become Wild, replacing any other symbols and potentially forming some beautiful winning combinations because the Sphinx also keeps covering this role. 

During the Free Spins round the background goes from daytime to sunset, and the pyramids that were sitting behind the reels disappear from sight. That will probably help you focus on the big wins that you might get during the free rolls. 

Last but not least, the free spins can be retriggered if you get another three Pyramid symbols on screen at the same time. 

Conclusion

Pyramids Deluxe is an entertaining video slot from Reel Time Gaming, not the most original in theme and layout but a solid game nonetheless. It would have been great to have a few more special features since the theme is so widely used. 

However, the design is decent, the symbols are nice and colourful, and the whole screen is a pleasant sight. This might not become anybody’s favourite game, but it’s worth a try for a few good hits.
