The reels in Pyramid of Ramesses are packed full of ancient Egyptian imagery including a variety of soldiers in battle and animal-inspired hieroglyphics. The biggest payers are the queen who offers 1,000x if you find five in a winning payline and the Pharaoh who triggers the progressive jackpot and pays out an enormous 15,000 coins for a 5 symbol combo!
The scarab symbol is the wild. It appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and turns into an expanded wild. The golden pyramid is the scatter and is the key to triggering the game's principal feature, the Free Games feature.
Find 3 or more pyramid scatters and you'll be awarded 15 free spins - keep an eye out for the pyramid on reels 2, 3 and 4 during the free games too as it triggers another bonus round where some potentially large prizes are on offer.
You'll be presented with a selection of rows, each bearing a choice of precious stones - starting on the bottom row, pick 1 stone to reveal a cash prize or a collect. If you avoid the collect, you'll move on to the next row and choose another gem. If you manage to make it all the way to the top without finding the collect, you'll be awarded a prize of 200x your total stake!
With a plethora of ancient Egyptian themed slots already on the market do we really need another? The Pyramid of Ramesses is actually pretty good as it goes. The detailed graphics and Arabian flavoured sound are perfectly serviceable. As are the features. There's nothing spectacular on show but what Pyramid of Ramesses does it does well.
It's a high variance title so you'll need to approach with care if you don't want to race through your bankroll too rapidly. If you have patience (and deep pockets) the rewards can be fit for a Pharaoh. If you like volatile ancient Egyptian-themed slots, Pharaoh’s Fortune by IGT or Book of Ra Deluxe by Novomatic are the most popular ones both offline and online.
