Pyramids of Giza

Barcrest houses Pyramids of Giza inside a familiar 5-reel, 3-row, 10-payline Egyptian frame, giving the game a retro visual style built on genre-standard imagery rather than anything more modern. The reels sit in front of a view of the river Nile under a deep red sunset.

The game's return varies with stake size rather than staying fixed. Bets below 2 per spin run at a 94% RTP, while stakes of 2 or more raise that to 96%, and wagers overall span from 0.10 up to a maximum of 500 per spin across desktop and mobile. Volatility is rated high, and the maximum win is capped at 250x the stake per spin.

Low-value pay symbols run from A down to 10 on the playing cards, with a scarab beetle icon, a cluster of lotus blossoms and an Eye of Horus charm filling out the middle of the table. No wild symbol appears anywhere in the base game.

The only bonus round is triggered by landing three pyramid scatter symbols, and they must land specifically on reels one, three and five rather than anywhere on the grid. Once the round starts, the pyramid scatter symbol doubles as a wild for its duration, adding substitutions that aren't available in the base game. Landing another three pyramid scatters on reels one, three and five during the bonus retriggers it and adds ten further free spins.

With just the one feature and a fixed 10-payline structure, Pyramids of Giza keeps its mechanics simple: the stake-dependent RTP split and the reel-specific scatter trigger are the two details that separate it from the wider run of Egyptian-themed five-reel slots.
