Mega Pyramid Slot Review

Mega Pyramid is a video slot from Red Tiger with 5 reels and 30 paylines. Released in July 2019, this game can be played at online casinos such as PlayOjo, Casumo or LeoVegas.

Theme and basic information

The title almost gives it away: we are looking at yet another Egyptian themed slot. Ancient Egypt is so popular as a slot theme that you will be able to filter for the theme alone at some online casinos and find dozens of games to choose from. They are somewhat generic when it comes to the symbols on the reels, but we’ve seen a few that managed to surprise us.

Mega Pyramid impresses with the massive pyramid in the background and the stunning sandstorm brewing in the distance. The brooding and dark soundtrack adds to the mystery of the theme and it’s definitely among the cooler Egyptian themed slots we’ve seen. It’s well designed and enjoyable to listen to.

Beautiful and imperious Nefertiti is the scatter on the reels, she even has glowing eyes. Jackal-headed Anubis is the highest-paying symbol in the game, giving us 4,500 coins for 5 of his kind. Far behind follows the scarab with 150 coins for 5 on a payline. The falcon also pays 150 coins and the scroll is worth 72 coins for such a win.

The remaining symbols are the card suits and a little brown round symbol thrown in for good measure.

You can play this game from as little as 0.10 per spin and up to 200.00 per spin, though this may vary at different casinos.

The Pyramid Eye

The main feature in the base game is the Pyramid Eye. It sits atop the pyramid in the background and opens randomly. The skies turn dark as the storm is upon us and the eye reveals one reel symbol randomly that will get chosen as a cloning symbol for this spin.

The symbol spreads across the reel and wins are paid out. If a high-paying symbol is chosen, this can be very lucrative. A low-paying symbol is more likely to spread further, however.

The feature doesn’t show up often, but enough to keep us interested.

Further clones in the free spins

The free spins are triggered by the scatter landing on reels 1, 3 and 5. You get 10 spins when that happens and before the free spins begin, the Pyramid Eye will choose one symbol that is cloned whenever at least one instance of it lands on the reels. That’s means low-value symbols are likely to spread more often, but high-value symbols are more likely to bring bigger wins.

It is possible to re-trigger the feature with a further three scatters, which gives you another 10 spins.

Conclusion: A beautiful slot with entertaining features that can be winsome

The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) of Mega Pyramid is 96.18%, which is a little above average and okay. This is a very volatile slot, of course, so don’t expect huge wins to turn up all the time. Whilst it is possible to win over 5,000x your stake in this slot, the likelihood of that happening is low.

Still, with a little patience, handsome wins are possible and the features in this game are frequent enough to be rewarding. In fact, the free spins are triggered about every 100 spins. Whilst they may not always pay out well, a little patience and a well-managed budget can get you a long way.

Plus, Mega Pyramid is kind of beautiful and feels less generic than some other slots with the Egyptian theme. In some casinos it may also offer the Must Fall jackpots featured by Red Tiger Gaming.
