THE PITCH

The 5×3 title focuses mainly on powerful symbols, set in an alternate reality where ancient Egypt is ruled by the great god Ra.

THE DETAILS

The main attraction is the bonus round where you can trigger a second level within it called Pyramid Spins.

A high value symbol is chosen up front, and all non-royal symbols will be replaced by it. There is no limit as to how many times you can retrigger the Pyramid spins, and this is where you’re most likely to win the games max win of 5000x your stake.

The falcon god Horus is the most valuable regular symbol on this game yet it’s the pyramid scatter that can really land you some big wins.

The base game does not come with any bonus features, as all the excitement has been saved for the bonus round. You have the scarab wild symbol that can step in for any regular symbol and act like a wild normally does.

To get free spins you need to land at least three scatter pyramid symbols anywhere on the same spin to trigger the game’s free spin bonus round.

WHAT THEY SAY

Johan Törnqvist, CEO of the industry leaders, spoke about importance of variety: “We have already given the market a lot of variety so far this year, and that will continue, but you also have to give your audience things they want, as well as showing them something new, it’s a delicate balance and one which we respect in our plans.”
