Treasures of the Pyramids

A Gtech G2 game, Treasures of the Pyramids offers prizes of $50,000. The game's configuration combines 5 reels with 40 paylines, and the features give you free spins, scatter symbols and a wild.

The game has an Egyptian theme going on, with a treasure thrown in the mix as well. Though no big treasures have survived since the time of the ancient Egyptians, as far as I know, that's what the slot chooses to focus on. The treasures and the many gold coins are seen at the top, next to the game logo. There is also a black panther, both next to the treasure image, and on the reels as a symbol. The reels are simple and blue, while the symbols use way too many playing card symbols. Around half of the game's regular symbols are the ones which start with the 9 and end with the A. These card symbols have an additional small image, like a club or a heart. The rest of the symbols give us two types of rings, pyramids, Eye of Ra, Horus, a cross and the panther.

A maximum of 10 coins can be wagered on the game's lines, meaning that the maximum bet will use 400 coins. The value varying between $0.01 and $1, the coins can be worth up to $400 in the maximum bet. With a wager of that size you can expect a nicely sized prize, and that's the case here, with the top jackpot being $50,000.

The game's scatter symbol is the one with the pyramid on it, and it will both pay prizes and give away free spins. The player receives 8 spins for free if three pyramid symbols find their way on the reels, 15 spins for four symbols and 100 spins for five scatter symbols. It's easy to see why the scatter symbol will be the second most liked symbol of this game (after the jackpot symbol).

Speaking of the jackpot symbol, this one is the black panther, and it serves as a wild at the same time. It's a bit of a special symbol, showing up on two spots at the same time, so you get two wilds that are next to each other when that happens. It can award the top jackpot if there are five symbols on the reels, with the symbol from the top acting as two reel positions.

Treasures of Pyramids does a lot of things right, and makes the player look forward to its major features, not to mention its top jackpot of $50,000.
