BONUSES AND FEATURES
- Wild: The Rise of Pyramids slot’s wild icon comes in the form of the ankh. During tumble sequences, the wild explodes all symbols sitting in surrounding positions that are not part of the winning cluster.
- Tumble Feature: Landing winning clusters brings about double rewards for players. Payouts for the winning cluster are awarded and in turn, the tumble feature activates. The symbols involved in the winning cluster will disappear and, in the process, prompt the remaining symbols to tumble downwards. New symbols will then appear which will fill the vacant positions. Afterwards, new winning clusters are evaluated hence making it a possibility for players to land successive winning clusters one after the other.
- Respin Feature: The treasure chest icon is the money symbol and each time it appears, it comes attached to a random value ranging from 0.5x to 1,000x total bet. When four or more money symbols land simultaneously, players trigger this feature. 3 respins are awarded upon activation of the feature and all the triggering icons turn sticky for the duration of the round while all other symbols are replaced by blanks. During the respins, only money symbols and blanks land on the grid. New money symbols that land on each respin reset the number of respins to 3. When respins run out or when all reel positions are filled with money symbols, the feature ends. Players are thereafter awarded the total value of all money symbols on the grid.
- Free Spins Feature: Four scatters that land simultaneously on the grid help trigger this feature and in the process award 10 free spins. Each scatter beyond the 4th triggering scatter awards 2 extra free spins. A 1x win multiplier is guaranteed on each spin. The multiplier increases by 1x on each successive tumble. Four or more scatters that land during the round help retrigger more free spins.
- Buy Feature: The buy feature option allows players to purchase any one of the slot’s main bonus rounds for a stipulated price and proceed to gain immediate access to the feature.
