Treasures of the Pyramids is a fairly new online slot game from IGT. As the name would suggest, it is set in Ancient Egypt, but it does have a rather basic set of features. While it might not have various complicated and confusing features, that doesn’t mean it is going to be a bad slot game. We step back in time and give Treasures of the Pyramids a try to see if it’s any good.
Treasures of the Pyramids Theme and Graphics
The development team at IGT have done a decent enough job bringing the Ancient Egyptian theme to life. We did think that maybe the visual design was a little bit bland and dated; the game really doesn’t have the best looking modern graphics around. It looks good enough, but perhaps it could have been a bit better.
As you’d expect, the theme has influenced the types of symbols you find on the reels. The lower value symbols are represented by playing cards, while the higher-value ones use theme-appropriate images like Egyptian jewellery and artefacts.
Treasures of the Pyramids Features
As previously mentioned, IGT have gone for a simple type of online slot game here and there’s nothing terribly confusing or difficult to understand.
- Treasures of the Pyramids has five reels and an impressive 40 paylines.
- The Wild is represented by a stacked Black Panther. It can stand in for any other symbol to create a winning combination, with the exception of the Scatter.
- The Wild is also the key to the Jackpot, landing five Wilds across an active payline will win the player 5000x their initial line bet.
- The Scatter is represented by an image of a pyramid. Landing three or more on the reels will trigger free spins, which is what this slot game seems to be all about.
- Three Scatters will get you eight free spins; four gets you 15 and five gets you 100. Free spins are retriggerable and in total you could get up to 600 free spins.
- A 2x multiplier is active during the free spins.
Treasures of the Pyramids Conclusion
In the end we came to the decision that Treasures of the Pyramids is a good, if unremarkable, slot game. It doesn’t push any boundaries and doesn’t try anything new, but it does a good enough job at what it does do. There will be many players out there who will be happy with a simpler slot game, but we just felt IGT could have tried a little harder in some areas.
