Pyramyth

Pyramyth Overview

Created by the Thunderkick Studio, Pyramyth is unlike any Egyptian free online casino games you have played before. From a visual perspective, this game is as beautiful as they come with graphics and details that make you reevaluate the entire genre. The game's basic premise is that you are taken to a time in the future where instead of eventually melting into other cultures, Ancient Egyptian society has continued to flourish to a point where their gods are immortalised in extraordinary robot-like statues. The pyramids themselves have been converted into high tech research facilities. Its Ancient Egypt meets Star Wars, and it's great.

The bonus features, thankfully, are just as impressive as the game's visuals. They start with the wild multiplier feature, which is triggered every time you land a multiplier wild as part of a winning combination. The more wilds that are part of the win, the higher the boosting multiplier. This game also has a bonus free spins game which gives you a varying number of free spins depending on the number of scatters you landed to trigger it. Finally, Pyramyth also has a Sticky Re-spin feature and Roaming wilds feature.

Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game, although not wholly unique, is very novel. Indeed, Thunderkick should be congratulated, as it is all too easy these days to pick an established theme and run with it. Pyramyth is an exciting combination of ancient Egyptian culture with futurism/sci-fi. For whatever reason, maybe it's that the themes are usually so juxtaposed; this is a very engaging aesthetic indeed. This novelty, combined with the excellent quality and graphics, makes this one of the most visually spectacular themes produced this year.

The background for this slot really is pretty epic. To the left and right of the playing board, there are futuristic pyramids with glowing yellow circles and statues of the sun god Ra on a scale that make the pyramids look comparatively diminutive. These vast statues are made of alabaster steal and reach high into the perfect blue sky. They are accented with gold belts and arms bands as well as fantastic headdresses. Behind these statues is a modern city, complete with skyscrapers and tower blocks.

The board for Pyramyth looks like some sort of ornately decorated mobile tablet with golden edges matching the gold seen throughout the city and on the statues.

The symbols for this game comprise 12 icons in all, split into categories of low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-paying symbols for this game are the A to 9 in playing card royals created in a truly unique font, half hieroglyph, half Star-Wars inspired. On the other hand, the high-value symbols are the jackal god Anubis, the eagle god Ra and the crocodile god Sebek. However, the most rewarding symbol is the Cleopatra symbol, which for the top combination pays 75x your stake. The main special symbol for this slot is the Scrab wild. There is also a bonus scatter used to trigger the free spins game.

Features

The first feature included in this game is triggered each time you land a wild, creating a multiplier bonus. The more wilds that you land, the higher the attached multiplier grows. The highest the multiplier bonus can reach is 32x.
The second feature is the bonus free spins game. This feature is triggered by landing three or more of the bonus symbols on the reels simultaneously. The following is how the scatters to spins ratio works out:
3 bonus symbols = 10 free spins
4 Bonus symbols =15 free spins
5 Bonus symbols = 20 free spins

Retriggers in this game are also possible. You can do this by landing 3 bonus symbols within the round. This will give you a further 5 free spins to play with.

Next is the Sticky Re-spin feature. Every time that you create a winning combination whilst within the free spins game, you trigger the Sticky Re-spin feature. Successful symbols that created a win are locked in place, whilst the other positions spin again. If new matching symbols are found or a wild lands, then the re-spins continue, with the new symbols being held in place. The mechanic continues like this until the symbols that fall do not improve your winning combination or when you manage to fill up the entire screen with matching symbols.

Finally, we have the walking wild feature, which again takes place during the free spins feature. The wild in the free spins has a different power. Every wild that lands in this round is turns into a sticky roaming wild, which means that they will move to a new position on the reels with every fresh spin. The maximum number of roaming wilds that you can land during the free spins round is 5.

Conclusion

Truly, this game is a revelation in terms of its style, theme, incredible graphics, and beautiful icons and characters. This slot also delivers from a feature point of view, especially in the free spins round, which comes with plenty of extras that increase your chance of attaining those higher prices. This slot represents what just a little bit of innovation can bring.
