Theme and Symbols

The Pyramid of Ramesses is set in ancient Egypt, and every symbol is related to that world in some way. You will see hieroglyphics, soldiers, chariots, and male and female characters on the reels. Wagers start at a 1c coin value and go up to R25 per spin, and the regular jackpot is 15,000 coins.

Expanding Wild

The expanding wild appears on the middle three reels. Whenever it lands, it covers the whole reel, which ensures there is a payout on that spin.

Golden Pyramid Scatter

The Golden Pyramid scatter is the main feature of the game. It appears on reels 2, 3 and 4, and it activates the bonus round.

Free Spins Bonus Round

The free spins bonus round starts when three Pyramids appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. You instantly receive 15 free spins.

While the free spins are running, it is possible to unlock the Pyramid Bonus. You need more pyramids to appear during the free spins to get there.

Pyramid Bonus

When the Pyramid Bonus is unlocked, a screen shows stones that form a pyramid. Click a stone on the bottom row to reveal a prize. If you reveal a prize, you pick again from the next stone, and this carries on until “Collect” appears on the screen. This is where the 200 times payout is waiting.

Double-Up Option

The game also offers a double-up option, which is a card game. You need to find the card that beats the dealer’s face value. If you do, you win double your winnings. If your card is not better than the dealer’s, you lose all of those winnings, so only use it if you are comfortable with that risk.
