Pyramid: Quest for Immortality Slot
Pyramid: Quest for Immortality is a Net Entertainment's 3D online slot ensemble that embraces the wonders of tumbling reels to engage its fans.
The odd-shaped reels set boasts all-ways paylines which keep coming fast and furious once the re-spins gather some momentum. You could bring home 50x your stake for 5 high-paying symbols across the screen.
Theme, Soundtrack and Symbols
The mystical air of Egypt is ever evident on the reels from the first spin. Pyramid: Quest for Immortality backdrop is one of the great pyramids at night, while the reel set is a chamber guarded by Ra and Anubis.
We are not sure whether you will find immortality in this game, but you are sure to bring some wins home that may give you a new hope to live longer.
The Egyptian themed soundtrack leaves you with no guesswork as to what type of slot you are playing. The lyre and drum compilations assure ancient rewards behind the temple rolls.
The thematic symbols drop into place on blocks, rather than spin into place like other traditional slot machines. These blocks include majestic deities and characters, including the Sphinx head, Cleopatra, a falcon representing Ra the Sun God, a spitting cobra representing the god Uraeus, and a flying Scarab Beetle representing Khepri, the god who rolls the sun into place. The lower-value items go off theme a bit and embrace generic card themed icons (10, J, Q, K, and A).
There is no game scatters, but the wild symbol is the golden Ankh symbol, which will substitute for any other symbol with the motive of creating winning combinations.
Game Mechanics
Played over 5 reels, the shape of the grid mimics that of a pyramid, providing a setup of 3, 4, 5, 4, 3. There are 720 ways to win, which means that there are no set payline patterns. All you need to do to win is line up three matching symbols anywhere on adjacent paylines, starting from the left-most reel to the right.
Choose a wager of between 0.10 and 200 coins before spinning the reels. Select the AutoPlay function, should you want to pre-set a set of spins that you would like the machine to spin for you automatically at a single betting increment. You can choose varying intervals of spins between 10 and 1,000 per time.
This is a medium variance game that boasts an RTP of 96.48%. It will not pay out too frequently, however. The risky nature of the slot means that if you can hang in there, big wins will eventually make it to your bankroll.
Special Features
There are no bonus rounds in Pyramid: Quest for Immortality, but do not let that deter you from this slot as there are some special features that happen in the base game. Every win can lead to a streak of reel re-spins, and the promise of added wild symbols gives hope.
Avalanche/Tumbling Reels
Pyramid: Quest for Immortality is built on a tumbling reel engine, much like NetEnt’s Gonzo’s Quest. Instead of the tiles spinning into place though, they drop onto the screen. If a winning combination is made, the winning blocks will crumble to dust, and more symbols will tumble down onto the screen to fill up the gaps. It’s at this point that you recognise the hidden tomb behind the reels. For every 3 successive wins in a row, the win multiplier will increase by 1x to a maximum of 10x, to yield bigger wins.
Wild Generation Feature
Should any of the higher-value symbols receive a blue hue on their background, they have been marked for greatness. If any of these symbols form winning combinations, they will become wild for the tumbling re-spin.
Play ‘On The Go’
Pyramid: Quest for Immortality ensemble has been mastered for ‘on the go’ play, via your Android or iOS mobile device. The HD graphics and game features remain intact for the small screen adaptation. The game controls are changed up and placed in more touch-friendly positions, for tap and swipe finger play.
Game Verdict
Pyramid: Quest for Immortality is extremely volatile and therefore more suited to veteran slot players. The Max Bet option combined with the risky variance is perfectly suited to High Roller players.
If you are an Egyptian slots fan, you must at least try this slot once or twice. However, if you are seeking famous Egyptian games with lower variance than this, give Cleopatra by IGT or Book of Ra by Novomatic a spin.
