Treasures of the Pyramids Slot Review

The Treasures of the Pyramid game, made by IGT, evokes a feeling of grandeur, sporting big Wilds, tall and menacing pyramids, fierce wild cats and gold. Being both an enjoyable yet simple game, what Treasures of the Pyramids lack in graphics, it compensates in soundtrack - the tunes are quite calming and unique.

There’s no other way to get close to the lifestyle of an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh than to play some of the games set back in the period. Compared to all the slots (and there are many) themed around ancient Egypt available online, IGT’s Treasures of the Pyramids seems to be somewhere in the middle. It’s not as basic as most, but not exactly as advanced as some titles from competitor companies.

The reels are set in an ancient Egyptian temple. The pillars embrace the reel grid whereas above, where the game logo is placed, there is also a desert landscape with an image of the pyramids, a sunset, treasures and a Black Panther. Oddly, Cleopatra isn’t the main character here - it’s the magnificent Black Panther.

The animal symbol occupies two positions when it appears and acts as a Wild card. More symbols include playing card denominations from Ace to Ten and familiar Egyptian items and symbols such as the Ankh (Breath of Life, Life itself) and the scarab, also the Eye of Horus and jewellery. The pyramids image is the highest valued symbol and also acts as a Scatter, a triggering symbol for the bonus feature.

Most players will be glad to know that Treasures of the Pyramids comes complete with a Gamble feature, as well as convenient options such as Max Bet. For additional excitement you can activate the Gamble mini game after each winning spin. You can guess the right colour or the right suite to either double of quadruple your wins. Of course, you could easily lose it all, but that’s not the true gamblers way of thinking, is it? Before we forget - Treasures of the Pyramids is a slot with a 5x4 reel layout and 40 paylines, adjustable.

As for special features, the Black Panther Wild is a fine touch. Since the Wild replaces all base game symbols and appears two positions high, the chances are higher it will complete winning combinations more frequently that you’d normally expect. The Scattered wins are not to be ignored either. Each time you land a winning combo made out of pyramids you can expect double payouts. So far so good; we’re loving the Wild and the Scatter.

The Free Spins round is the major attraction here, though. In the Treasures of the Pyramids free spins mode, you can win up to 600 free spins, which is quite bonkers once you think about it. To trigger the feature you need to at least 3 pyramid symbols anywhere on the reels. The least number of gratis spins you can expect is 8, and the max is 100. Since more Scatters award more wins, you can go up to 600 additional spins, no charge. According to some player reports, you can count on 8 to 15 free spins every time you trigger the bonus. If you’re lucky, every 15 to 20 or so spins a new batch of Scatters will increase that number.

Real Money Game & Potential Payouts

In the base game, five Wilds on a payline will award you with a top payout of 5,000 times your stake. Not too shabby! The free spins really make a difference; the round is often engaging enough to make one forget about bland graphics. You can play Treasures of the Pyramids on both mobile and desktop devices and benefit from its medium variance. The RTP should be somewhere between 92.2% and 96.2%. It’s advised to start with smaller bets to build a decent bankroll and then up the stakes gradually, at least when you’re playing IGT’s Treasures of the Pyramids.
