Pyramid Pays Slot Review

Pyramid Pays - Rules and Gameplay

Pyramid Pays runs on a 5x3 layout with 243 ways to win, so any matching symbols from left to right can line up without fixed paylines. Stakes run from about 0.30 to 30 credits per spin, and the maths model sits on the high variance side with a 96 per cent RTP. From my play sessions the slot feels swingy, with long dry spells punctuated by solid hits when features line up.

The base game in Pyramid Pays is fairly bare when nothing special drops, so I rarely sit spinning it for ages on the standard mode. The Ultra Bet option, costing 50 times your stake for 50 linked spins, speeds everything up. Any bonus rounds landed during Ultra Bet are stored and then played after the batch finishes, which keeps the grind more engaging.

Bonus Features in Pyramid Pays

Cleopatra is the star of the show in Pyramid Pays. Her wild symbol lands only on reels two, three and four, but it substitutes for regular pays and carries a x2 multiplier whenever it helps a win. Hitting two or three Cleopatra wilds in one spin can stack these multipliers across several ways, and I found that many of my base game hits worth talking about came from simple wild line-ups.

Free spins in Pyramid Pays trigger when three Pyramid scatter symbols land on reels one, three and five, awarding fifteen spins. The round plays like the base game but with an extra twist. Every time you land the scatter trio again you get one extra spin and the Pyramids Pay feature. A separate pyramid appears with nine win multipliers from x2 to x100, and one value is chosen and paid on your total stake.

Each multiplier segment you hit in Pyramid Pays is removed for the rest of that bonus round, so in theory you can climb through all nine values. If you triggered the feature with a Booster scatter on reel five, every pyramid prize is doubled, which can turn modest retriggers into serious hits. Chaining several activations in a row is where the slot finally starts to feel as volatile as advertised.

Symbols and Paytable in Pyramid Pays

The paytable in Pyramid Pays leans heavily on classic Egyptian imagery. Tutankhamun sits at the top, paying up to fifteen times your stake for five of a kind, while the Sphinx follows close behind at around 13.3 times. The Eye of Horus can reach roughly 11.66 times your stake, with the scarab just under that band. On sample three credit bets this translates into wins that feel meaningful when they land.

Lower value wins in Pyramid Pays come from the card ranks nine through ace, which mostly keep you ticking over between better hits. Beyond standard pays, Cleopatra acts as the x2 multiplier wild, the pyramid scatter unlocks free spins, and a special Booster scatter on reel five upgrades pyramid prizes. I liked how quickly you learn which icons matter, so spotting key combinations soon becomes automatic.

Winning Potential and Bets in Pyramid Pays

Pyramid Pays uses the 243 ways system, so wins often drop in clusters rather than neat lines, especially when wilds land in the middle reels. The game carries a 96 per cent RTP paired with high volatility, and there is no stated maximum win, which always makes me curious. Looking at the multipliers on offer, especially in the pyramid feature, individual spins can jump well beyond anything the base values imply.

Stakes in Pyramid Pays span from small casual bets up to thirty credits, so it suits different bankrolls. The Ultra Bet button costs fifty times your base stake and gives fifty connected spins, after which a win multiplier from x5 up to x1,000 applies to your aggregate return. I treat this like a high-risk side game and only buy it when my balance can comfortably absorb a rough run.

Design and Audio in Pyramid Pays

Pyramid Pays sticks very much to the familiar side of Egyptian slots. The reels sit against desert scenery, symbols are sharply drawn but not flashy, and the main visual flourish is Cleopatra’s eye make-up on the multiplier wild. Sound-wise, you get low-key tribal drums and chimes with slightly punchier effects on wins and feature triggers. After a while I mostly tuned the presentation out and focused on the feature chase.

How To Play Pyramid Pays

When I sit down with Pyramid Pays, I first set a session budget, then pick a stake that gives at least a hundred spins in the base game. From there I let the reels run, watching for Cleopatra wilds and pyramid scatters. If the base feels too slow and my balance holds, I sometimes switch to Ultra Bet for a batch of fifty spins, then reassess whether the session is worth continuing.

Pyramid Pays Slot Review Summary

For me, Pyramid Pays lives or dies on its features. The core spin-to-spin action can feel flat, and without the Cleopatra multipliers or free spins the slot is just another Egyptian outing. Once you add the pyramid prizes, retriggers and the Ultra Bet stars, though, things pick up. I enjoyed the way saved bonuses sit waiting after an Ultra Bet batch, giving a little sense of progression.

I would recommend Pyramid Pays mainly to players who enjoy high variance sessions and do not mind stretches of nothing much happening while they chase multipliers. It works well as a change of pace rather than a long-term staple in my rotation. If you like combining 243 ways, stacked multipliers and the occasional adrenaline spike from Ultra Bet, this game can still hold its own for a while.
